No first amendment issues are implicated here. The first amendment only
protects US persons (citizens & residents) against actions by the US
government. Both sides of that equation are absent here.
This is private action against a private party. It may implicate the
moral principles of freedom of expression but these are not ordinarily
actionable either in the US or elsewhere. YMMV of course.
Please note that this comment expresses no opinion on the merits of the
ban.

Note that the whole issue of list ban is treading on first amendment grounds
in a way that could end up in court.
