the Constitution is a RESTRAINT on government. And yet you call for govt to police social media platforms.

The role of government is ultimately to do the will of the people. The will of the people is to engage in free speech, but we can't do it without our elected officials helping us to wrest that power back from the corporations who have usurped it.

Corporations in the US don't do any such thing. You want the govt to police them anyway because you think corp's are being unfair to your cause. They have no duty to be "fair."

Corporations need to be constrained and regulated

Corporations are more regulated than the masses. Why shouldn't they be able to support candidates of their choosing?

I'm not certain of the history but wasn't this always the way it was and Citizens United just affirmed the practice?
