Don't know why, but I still regularly visit the left wing echo chamber that is Reddit. Their standard straw man argument for this Alex Jones thing is, "Conservatives don't understand freedom of speech."
Of course, as usual, the lefties are entirely missing the point that I cannot hammer enough.
This isn't about freedom of speech. It's about Facebook (et al) picking and choosing to only publish content it agrees with. If Facebook views itself as a publisher that needs to suppress content it disagrees with, it needs to be held responsible for any libel, bullying, organization of these stupid Antifa riots, etc. that it agrees with and publishes.
I am perfectly OK with them banning Alex Jones from their sites. However, that shows they have the means and capability to monitor and review content that it publishes. If they continue to tacitly endorse the hateful conduct of the left, they need to be held responsible. I'd much prefer to see that done in the judicial system as opposed to regulation.
