What do you mean by "pushing"? Recommending him in your home page, with no option to disable the said recommendations? Or just hosting him at all on their platform?

Do you have the same opinion about YouTube, which has every political spectrum and its polar opposite on the same platform?

I mean “sponsoring” or “enabling” to a level beyond just existing in their catalog does.

I think it’s great that YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc also ban Alex Jones yes. I see the risk of tech platforms acting as giant censors to be the smaller problem here.
