> Suppression of opinion implicitly violates the Bill of Rights

NO.

The Bill of Rights are enumerated protections FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

The concept of "Freedom of Speech" is different and more broad than the First Amendment to the US Constitution, but a private entity not protecting it is not a violation of the First Amendment or any other 9. Yes, the double-negative is important.

The Constitution remains amendable. We hear arguments frequently that the Second fails to sufficiently account for modernity. Perhaps the First does, too.
