Does the 1st Amendment apply to AFF the same as public speech?

Im not a lawyer (thank God...just kidding) but the first ammemdment does not differentiate between "public" speech or any other type of speech. (I would think, though, that this forum is a form of "public" speech).
It does, however, address Congress concerning the press, speech, the establishment of a religion, freedom of assembly and not AFF. Neither does it apply to private corporations...because unlike being underneath the yoke of an authoritarian government the employee or customer can take their "speech" elsewhere.
