What Constitutional amendment protects a publisher from being sued?
None. The Constitution doesn't protect either from being sued in the same way. It doesn't support either to be sued, the same way. Both are the same under the law.

They don’t like what trump did but big tech shouldn’t necessarily blanket ban accounts. Especially not inconsistently. There is room to improve. It gives some ideas. Doesn’t think blocking or ignoring the disgruntled is good. That’s from memory.
In summary - you’re not bothered if big tech shut off certain players or turn others on harder? basically ??If "big tech" could truly control the Internet so as to actually choke free speech, that would be an argument.
But in reality, we're looking at the a still far better than what media offered prior to the Internet and cable television. You had three national network television networks and a handful of national newspapers. The average person--for that matter, even the President--only had the access that the owners of those stations and newspapers permitted.
Joe Sixpack could write a letter to the editor, and the editor would publish that letter only if he agreed with it or had a way to make it look stupid...the editor always won.
If Joe Sixpack wanted his voice heard by the nation, he had to buy a printing press, buy ink, buy paper, buy a distribution system...or find a national publisher who found his writing agreeable and entertaining and get a regular column in that newspaper.
Today's Internet is still much better than that situation for Joe Sixpack. I can still buy a server and set up my own blog saying anything I want unless the government itself steps in to find me and silence me. And even that's not absolutely possible...as the Pirate Bay website, which has been hunted by governments around the world proves.

No I get it. I was just understanding your position.You mean like Walmart? Since when has American business been overly bothered by bigger businesses shut out or gobbling up smaller businesses?
It's easier for Ma and Pa to set up their own servers for their own social media platform than for them to set up a small business to compete with Walmart.
None. The Constitution doesn't protect either from being sued in the same way. It doesn't support either to be sued, the same way. Both are the same under the law.
