Completely agree, but there are also 3 types of people on this Earth who don't even think he should be censored like this:

1) Free speech purists, whether they agree or disagree

2) People who actually believe him

3) People who think Alex Jones' acting is a hilarious trainwreck of emotions (me!)

He's not being censored. This is even less related to censorship than being banned from Twitter, as it won't affect his ability to reach his audience in any way.

Did we say the same about Wikileaks when they weren't considered Russian sympathizers?

I would. Censorship is about disallowing speech. Paypal isn't in a position to do that.
