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.

And neither, by the way, does the fact that the IESG will *consider*
a PR action whenever one is brought to us. It's only after such
consideration that the IESG would express an opinion.
