I have told a lot of people that if you allow major communications companies to censor speech, you will get government coercing them from behind closed doors to censor speech the government doesn't like.

Corporations that carry public speech cannot be allowed to censor it. This must be forbidden. The first amendment must be made to apply to them.

As agents of the state, it would indeed be a 1A violation.

The first amendment must be made to apply to them.

At least you recognize that it doesn’t today. What other parts of the Constitution must we re-write?
