Doesn't matter. Corporate authoritarians do not value things like 'freedom of speech'. They live by their own constitution which is in constant flux according to the whims of their leadership. To a great extent we live in an authoritarian corporatocracy.
The Government doesn't have to stifle your freedoms, the corporatocracy does that for them. Government doesn't have to mandate masks, just try to walk into a store without one... see how much the corporate authoritarian power structure will crash down on you, harass you, shame you, ostracize you, ban you.
They can even use the state's controlling civil authority to have you physically removed, which has the effect of the government issuing mandates by proxy, in absentia, though the corporate power structure.
