Are corporations afforded Constitutional rights?
Yes. Under the law they are citizens of the US. That is not usual in other countries where corporations are not considered persons.

If true, then I wonder if they've fully considered the implications of their case.

By arguing that "sensitive" customer information is available to be distributed via the First Amendment, then what's to stop one of their employees from giving away corporate "secrets" using the same argument?

The outcome of this should prove interesting.

The cited provision clearly applies "within the meaning of this chapter...." It does not apply generally.

(The cited provision is part of the Jones Act, which limits shipping within the US to US flagged and crewed ships built and owned by US companies. Such restrictions, and their accompanying definitions of corporations as US Citizens are not generally a part of US commerce.)
