These social media corporations are publicly-owned and traded on the stock exchange markets. Every US corporation is has its article of incorporation chartered under state that is consistent with the US Constitution. Twitter, Apple, Facebook, Google, etc. what would happen when the citizens of that state were to sign a petition to rescind their corporate charters? Yes, they could find another state to incorporate, or another country. yes...until the state's citizens rise up and rinse, wash and repeat the process until the said corps become pariahs... TOS, EULAs have the force of the US Constitution for its customer/products...to the point they can ignore and override the Constitutionally protected liberties.

Twitter, FB are NOT private companies. They are publicly traded. If you can buy stock in a company on the Stock Exchange, it's not a "private company"
