While the First Amendment generally does not apply to private companies, the Supreme Court has held it “does not disable the government from taking steps to ensure that private interests not restrict . . . the free flow of information and ideas.”
That would apply directly to Twitter Facebook Google YouTube.

Thanks for the info.

Yep. It would be the same thing as if Verizon was listening into our conversations, then cut off our service because it didn't like what we were discussing on the phone.

You are absolutely correct. Consider this case, where an individual’s freedom of expression is censored by a corporation, and the corporation is arguing that this censorship is it’s own freedom of expression. I think the Bill of Rights would side with the individual on this one.
