I guess it all depends on how it's implemented and what the censorship policy is. If it's implemented with a "everyone, including the homeless, felons and racists gets access" mindset then there isn't much concern. If it's implemented with a "having access is a privilege not a right" mindset, it's different.

USPS has to service everyone, even those where they don't make any money with. If this FDIC thing is more like the USPS, your concerns would be unfounded.

USPS only services people who have a residence or pay a fee to have a box. Homeless people require a special approval to receive mail. So USPS does not have to service everyone, but at least they can’t ban people based on mail content.
