That doesnt changes the fact that a corporation and its public stances can be regulated.
If the shareholders want their opinion heard then make a private non-profit and do whatever they want with their own money.
That is literally exactly what happened in Citizens United. A group of individuals created a non-profit organization and created a silly film about H. Clinton. The government tried to fine the group and have the film taken off the air by claiming it violated the BCRA.
I thought Hillary: The Movie wasn't the greatest film, but the BCRA would've prohibited it from being aired within 30 days of an election because it was political speech. That's crazy and it was the correct call by the SCOTUS to rule those provisions of the BCRA unconstitutional.
