1A does not apply. Twitter is not the federal government.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Twitter settled & it wasn’t because of 1A. Judge didn’t accept 1A claim; J allowed case to proceed based on breach of contract (because of promises made by a Twitter exec in email).
“Internet-service executives have always been instructed by lawyers not to talk with people about their individual accounts and not to make any promises about what might happen, Goldman said, “for reasons that should now be obvious.””
