Like, maybe not because of censorship per se, but maybe for abusing their power as an oligopoly or going against the desire of their users?

    The First Amendment is about government censorship. The Bill of Rights is more like a Bill of government restrictions.

      So no private company can be held accountable for censorship? That’s pretty messed up.

        This is one of those “technically true but functionally useless” arguments, and I hate arguing the other side here… Valve always has the option to stop using Visa and, I don’t know, have customers write out and physically mail checks or money orders.

        Obviously the number of customers who would do this is microscopic. It’s not a real thing anytime would ever do. But because the option exists, they aren’t technically making the content impossible to sell.
