If enormous corporations that were capable of censoring speech to the degree that facebook and youtube can were around when the first amendment was written there'd be something in there about corporations. Free speech is worthless if people know that unpopular opinions can dramatically reduce their ability to earn a living or participate in social activities. It's healthy for society for people to be allowed to disagree without massive consequences. Obviously.
