“It can be argued that the socials are the 21st century places of public accommodation, the virtual public square. What good is having a First amendment if you are driven from the public square?”

What exactly do you mean by “socials?”

And how does private property become a “public square?”

The socials shouldn’t be censoring political thought. Okay? I think they run into problems when they are shown to be preventing the free exercise of the rights that every American enjoys for no reason other than their own political bias. That’s it. There is no public good advanced. Facebook, Twitter, etc. are free to hold their political beliefs as long as it doesn’t infringe on the rights of the individual user to practice theirs. When this case comes before The Supreme Court, they will lose. There are other issues involved as well having to do with campaign finance laws and the laws governing for-profit companies political contributions
