Here is a very recent (likely put out due to this as it's not a full opinion) ruling on the topic: https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/05/27/facebook-twitter-a...
"Freedom Watch's First Amendment claim fails because it does not adequately allege that the Platforms can violate the First Amendment. In general, the First Amendment 'prohibits only governmental abridgment of speech,'" the court wrote, citing a previous opinion issued by the D.C. Court of Appeals. The judges went on to say that "'a private entity who provides a forum for speech is not transformed by that fact alone into a state actor.'"
