Individuals and companies in the USA have always been allowed to suppress speech they do not agree with. You are not obligated to employ someone whose speech you disagree with. You are not obligated to give them a place to speak. You are not obligated to provide internet services. The 1st Amendment only protects us from government interference, and rightly so. If you are an ass in life and everyone refuses to help you spread your bad ideas, that's called the consequences of being an ass. And if you think you don't define speech you don't like, then please leave your phone number so I can call you with my 8 hour sales pitch.
