No first amendment issues are implicated here. The first amendment only
protects US persons (citizens & residents) against actions by the US

This is private action against a private party. It may implicate the
moral principles of freedom of expression but these are not ordinarily
actionable either in the US or elsewhere. YMMV of course.
Please note that this comment expresses no opinion on the merits of the
ban.

And neither, by the way, does the fact that the IESG will *consider*
a PR action whenever one is brought to us. It's only after such
consideration that the IESG would express an opinion.
