Why? Companies are regulated all the time. Is deceptive advertising allowed in the US? Didn't think so.[1] Does that violate your First Amendment too?
This case is all about forbidding deceptive practices. Did Twitter's redefinition of blue checkmarks amount to deception? Maybe. There'll be a court case where Twitter get to make their case, if they lose them have to pay the fine. Lay off the pearl clutching.
