That's an easy win on precedent. What it lacked previously was an inciting case since no one wanted to pull that trigger unless they need to cause in the end it is still 9 people deciding. Look up the old corporate towns, they would buy the land then regulate whatever they wanted because "mai private cumpaknees!" Just cause you bought or built a public square doesn't mean its no longer the public square, the area where the most Americans can hear you in a given area (DOUBLE especially with the lockdowns, they shot themselves in the foot here by trying to force the country to stay closed since now its JUST digitally) IS the public square. The general rule of thumb is "how open are you to the public?" Social Media uses the most lax model possible, literally everyone can come in then they sort it by their standards after. This means they are generally subject to the strictest standards of free speech (as precedent was set in the Shopping Mall preaching cases).
