When you say "political views they don't like", it sounds like he wanted more or less taxes, more or less regulation, more or less public transit.

Let's be clear, he's a holocaust denier, and that's not just an unpopular "political view".

He has every right to say it to whoever will listen, but private companies should not be forced to amplify that shit.

> he's a holocaust denier

From what little I've seen, Owen Benjamin rejects that description of himself, so I'd be interested to hear why you think he is.

Worth noting that outlets that reported him as a "holocaust denier" also claimed that he would definitely lose this lawsuit, which was clearly false. Not only did Patreon lose, but the judge went so far as to point out that the cases they cited undermined their own case.

Private companies have an obligation to honor their Terms of Service, which Owen did not violate, and why he and his fans filed for arbitration in the first place.

Patreon would've also been fine if they'd just avoided forced arbitration. A class action suit would've flopped early on (as Patreon has every legal right to ban a Holocaust denier from their private platform) and been substantially cheaper as a result.

DoorDash's arbitration clause enabled the same attack, with no free speech concerns at play.
