>A corporation has the right to put out whatever message it likes, because its owners have that right. This is often threatened.

I think it would be that bad if a corporation didn't have some of those rights.

For example, one difference between a corporation and a person, is that a corporation is for profit. A corporation is also potentially much more powerful than a person (in how far-rereaching it can get, how powerful, how many people it controls as employees, and so on).

So a corporation should perhaps have less rights than people owning it. And be hit with more responsibilities (e.g. to contribute back to society, and so on).

In this jurisdiction, you don’t lose your rights (e.g. to free speech) because you also pursue profit.

Somehow you are claiming that restrictions on the speech of an entity owned in part by a citizen has deprived that citizen of her rights. What has been denied is the 'over-reach' of the citizens who wish to extend their rights to their dues ex machina.

Even if corporations had no right to speech whatsoever (total imposed silence), their owner still fully enjoy their rights and have the same precise rights to free speech as those who don't own anything.
