That's not the purpose of the 1A. If you read 1A it's fairly basic.

  Congress shall make no law... 
1A protects you from the government. If we dive deeper into the civil rights act

  no business serving the public can discriminate because of a customer's national origin, sex, religion, color, or race
Unless someone can prove people are being removed from platforms for reasons above companies are well within their rights to refuse service.

Right, at the time of writing, that would have been perceived as the gravest threat to free expression. But I don't think that's still the case.

Agreed completely, I'm not making a legal claim. My claim attempts to stand on the moral philosophy behind these laws.
