This is nonsense. Just because they are subject to some regulation by Congress, Google, Facebook and Twitter don't lose their First Amendment right to ban from their platforms racists, insurrectionists and persons who incite violence.

Google, Facebook and Twitter are private companies. Yale is a private university. All are regulated to some extent by the government. That does not mean Google, Facebook or Twitter need to allow the KKK on their platforms or that Yale must allow the KKK to have a rally on campus.

Yale also has the right to suspend from teaching professors who hit on students, giving them more time to write op-eds for the Wall Street Journal .....

What next? Restaurants and coffee shops are regulated by the health department, so they become state actors? So you can hold a Klan meeting at your local Starbucks without getting kicked out? Ridiculous.

I believe this book is extremely offensive in its conclusions about superiority of certain ethnic groups. The publisher still had a right to publish it. But another publisher with better judgment would have the right not to publish it. That's free speech.

Or perhaps under this theory Starbucks can only kick out the Klansmen if they don't wear their masks. Word is that for the duration of the pandemic they are unmasking to protest public health ordinances.
