>> why does WeChat have first amendment rights?

> Yes.

We might also observe that the only mention of "people" in the first amendment gives them the rights to assemble and to petition the government.

Freedoms of speech and the press are phrased as restrictions on Congress, not as rights given to anyone (and this is probably the main justification for extending first amendment rights to foreigners, which appears to be a popular but not universal viewpoint).
