The First Amendment DOES NOT control ANY entity but the government. It gives you the right to redress grievances concerning the government without being arrested for sedition. It also prohibits the government from establishing a national religion or controlling the message of any religion.

Individuals are free to run their own companies as they see fit, including establishing membership rules of their services. Simply returning to a correct understanding and enforcement of the First Amendment would go a long way to restoring equality.

A baker is supposed to be able to set rules for his business. Why should a stupid business like Facebook be prohibited from operating under its own rules? These two matters are the same. Simple uniformity in these matters is the only workable solution.

I agree with what you said but unfortunately we are way past the point of having any workable solutions. Still, it is nice to take a step back once in awhile and think about what might have been..
