> Permitted speech on the legal scope does not matter when talking about businesses.

Sure it matters. It matters because a bunch of people want businesses to allow all legal speech on their platform.

And this group of people is growing in support, and they might eventually get enough support to force these business to do so, using legislative changes such as required these major companies to follow common carrier laws.

It also matters in the sense that one can't avoid certain regulation by claiming to be a public forum rather than a publisher while not being a public forum at all
