No. The First Amendment doesn’t apply. The concept of free speech can be applied anywhere.

That's extremely pedantic and doesn't really add to the discussion.

My point was that these private companies police their content based on the impact it has on their bottom line and any laws they have to respect, and that's it.

They don't do it to protect any kind of speech, groups or individuals, and no one has any rights (related to speech - yes AODA and other such legal rights apply), in the civic sense, when using Facebook or other social media platforms.
