The point is that corporations have both the rights and responsibilities of any other citizen. Do you have the right to prevent a guest from coming into your house with a gun?

I would hope you would say yes, because you could prevent a guest from coming into your house for any reason you choose. Nobody has a right to come into your house without a court order over your objection.

If AOL wants to have this rule and enforce it, that's their decision and they'll have to live with whatever consequences that entails.

But their policy is neither illegal or unconstitutional unless local state law has overridden their property rights.

Apples and oranges.

There is a huge difference in an individual citizen preventing someone from entering their property; and a corporation that fires employees for private property contained in their private vehicle.
