The "Bill of Rights" has been interpreted by several Supreme Courts to prohibit any branch or agency of any US government, including state, county and city, and any entity receiving funds from any government, such as public school districts, from infringing on the rights of citizens. Basically, the Bill of Rights protects citizens from their government, not each other.

Private entities, such as this forum, may censor at will.
