        Yeah, I don't think free speech includes the right to lie. Particularly when it's the political version of yelling fire in a crowded theater.

        Replying to @AdamsUser @TheOnion

        Yep. That's true - but it is more than just a law, it is a principle that has existed longer than the law. It's kinda like how we have laws against murder. People have been against murder a lot longer than any particular jurisdiction has had it enshrined in law.

        I usually laugh at almost all your posts. Not this one! We can't censor people we disagree with or that we think are nuts. Only if they are clearly calling or inciting violence. Censorship always starts with something we agree with, but soon it gets out of control.

        you are free to shout your conspiracy theory bullshit on the street corner all you like. the first amendment doesn't guarantee you respect, legitimacy, or a media platform

        True, but this precedent will allow any private entity to silence anyone regardless of their beliefs.

        No. To agree with him on everything? Yeah. But have his back on this fell swoop of wiping his platforms from 4 major media sites in one day? It's scary.
