I'd be more sympathetic to your point if you hadn't said at first (paraphrased) "Alex Jones said this awful thing I disagree with". Therefore you presumably believe it's ok he got kicked off of whatever platform, because of _what_ he believes.

You really don't see the moral hazard in that?

I believe YouTube has the right to remove it whether or not I agree with it, because they don't owe it to anyone to pay their hosting bill.

Should a restaurant be able to refuse service to an openly gay couple then in your opinion? What if it offends the other patrons?

There is no law protecting conspiracy theorists.

I'm not sure there is a national law requiring businesses to serve gay customers either. I'm just curious how OP feels about that.

Besides, who decides who is and who isn't a conspiracy theorist. You? A twitter mob? The government? Some people in San Francisco?

The fact that there is apparently such strong disagreement (most of which probably is from people who believe that it is appropriate to use the strong market share of these platforms to mold political discourse) is a bit alarming. No way that ends well.

Fine, let the court of public opinion decide.

Alex Jones is banned from Youtube. People, largely, do not give a shit. Now try banning gay people from a resturant.

Good luck with that.

And in many jurisdictions it is illegal to discriminate over sexual orientation. There is no such law protecting conspiracy theorists.

Your argument is juvenile and fails to address the point

And your reply is devoid of substance.

I think we're done here.
