It's called censorship, I thought everyone was in favour of it when it was Alex Jones and a few other allegedly far right people, or people saying offensive stuff? First they came for the conspiracy theorists and I said nothing etc.... well now they're going after anti-war protestors. Besides, they're private companies and can censor you all they like so suck it up.
The whole point of free speech is to protect speech nobody likes such as so called 'hate speech', why would you need to protect politically correct opinions or speech that nobody has a problem with? we've already gone down the slippery slope of censorship and people defended it so now you cant oppose war either.
First of all no, you have no idea what you're talking about as usual. Twitter deciding that THEY don't want Alex Jones in THEIR platform is not sensorship, that's the people who run Twitter not liking right wing racist nutjobs and are under zero obligation to give them a voice on their platform. Someone having their OWN website taken down when they are choosing themselves to talk about military isn't remotely comparable. Twitter is exercising their rights, the other guy is having their rights taken away, these are completely different situations.
Second the whole point of free speech is not to protect speech nobody likes, it's to prevent consequences from that speech being placed upon them from the government. It's amazing that the loudest shouters about "free speech" have no idea what it is.
No, Alex Jones isn't having his free speech encroached upon by being prevented from screaming at the top of his lungs on Twitter, yes he is allowed to have his own website and say what he wants on it and no the government hasn't shut down his websites, that is what free speech is.
Twitter removing right wing whackjobs isn't a slippery slope of anything. Again, free speech is about someone being free to voice opinions without the government jailing them for it. These don't have to be unpopular opinions or hate speech. IF someone says the government should become more socialist and becomes a powerful voice a nation without free speech laws could implement anti government speech rules and jail someone for saying those things. That is what free speech protects. Specifically free speech has never been about, nor was it even intended to force a private corporation into letting anyone say whatever they want.
