    Ok ok ok here is the poll version of the question I asked yesterday. Two questions: Alex Jones has been banned from all popular Social Media platforms. In your opinion: 1. Does Alex Jones still have free speech? 2. Should Alex Jones have been banned from Social Media Platforms?

        I voted no/no. On proposition one, I think he still has some free speech, but less than he should have.

        To me there is a difference between Censorship and Denying Free Speech. He has free speech because he can say what he wants without going to jail. So it seems like you are asking more is he being censored and is that censorship by social media ok

        Side note: you’ve spent entirely too much time on Alex Jones. I’ll defend people I disagree with that are acting in good faith, but he’s not one

        My vote for yes/no was largely because banning Alex Jones just doesn't help the situation; it gives him delusions of grandeur, that he's a dyed in the wool threat. Didn't work with Milo either; his own out of control obscenity was what ended his run as an agitator.

        I wanted a "Yes/Who Cares" option - private companies get to make their own rules - but settled for Yes/Yes

        No/no but he should be sued if he made false harmful claims that's the balance not censorship

        I think he still has free speech because social media platforms are no longer public squares. They have all made their biases known. Which is totally fine. I just wish they would admit that they make executive decisions based on their own bias.

        This ones admittedly complicated for me, which is why it's an important topic. Unpleasant yet necessary. I'm torn on this one. (assuming the banning is only by private side platforms - still poses some murky waters for the reality of modern speech..)
