It's certainly a difficult topic, but I can see a pretty strong argument that the likes of Alex Jones make Twitter a worse place. It's not in their interests to keep him on the platform, and I'm not really sure what would compel them to do so.

While I agree overall it makes me uncomfortable there are people that choose who makes it a 'worse' place. I dont have a good answer though.

Build your own Twitter. Nothing is stopping you.

But if you succeed and it becomes a bastion of racism, insanity, and violent speech, I'll vote to stop you.
