North Carolina was doing the banning, not the website. AKA, it was a government sanction...

North Carolina was also banning convicts' access to multiple websites, so it was more of an internet ban.

(It helps to read the entire case.)

That wasn't the point of my comment. Yes 1A only applies to government censorship, however the SC clearly view access to the internet and social media as necessary for full exercise of 1A rights. It's now on the legislature to actually write the laws that would grant free speech rights to internet users.
