No need for tying or interpreting the intent, the language is very clear and concise:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


The amendment prohibits government from creating laws that abridge the freedom of speech but it does not apply to private entities such as facebook or ToTV.
