You're not getting it. Last time.
It's not about the first amendment. It's about liability protection under 230 for internet platforms. Lose that, and they become liable for what is posted on their platforms, and potentially what they remove. That makes their business model rather dicey.
OK, back to whatever irrelevant point you were trying to make above.
