If it's free speech, and they are carrying significant levels of public traffic, then "No", they shouldn't be allowed to censor content.

Only if they carry other traffic for free. If they charge other people, they can charge everyone. What they cannot be allowed to do is get huge numbers of communication traffic, and then control what that traffic is.
