Weak sauce if your best argument is that corporations can't throw you in jail or kill you so their censorship is ok. If jail and/or death are the only standards to judge of the morality of an action, than we are in deep trouble.Because, simply put, they are apples and oranges. The government has police, armies, and jails. All a private concern can do is have you not speak in one particular place or venue (virtual or real-space). The government can shut you up completely and permanently.

If Facebook prevents you for saying Putin is naughty, you can go whine about him on G+, or one of a hundred other social sites. If, for historical example, the Soviet government prevented you from saying something like it, you may not have ever been heard from again. This is a perspective that is often lost on modern Americans, who have had so little restriction on their speech for so long.
I also see you didn't adress what the supreme court said about freedom of religion and how it does not just apply to guberment oppressing people.
