    I despise Alex Jones, but maybe banning people from social media on political grounds is a bad precedent.

        Are you claiming that it should be illegal for a for-profit corporation to choose who they do business with? Seems like it'd be a lot more reasonable to pursue the antitrust route: there is no robust competition in social media.

        You don't get to yell fire in a crowded movie theater! There is not absolute free speech! Threatening the life of Robert Mueller or Maxine Waters or anyone else is not free!

        I agree with not banning on political grounds but Alex Jones would have nothing to do with politics. He produces absolutely idiotic nutball stuff that has nothing to do with politics. Pushes the "chemtrails" nonsense, for example.

        Now he can complain that he’s being censored, and use that to support his claim that the truth is on his side.

        No one is being banned for their political views. He is being banned for inciting violence and spreading objectively false information. He can do it on his own website all he wants to, but other private businesses should not be compelled to promote his dangerous rhetoric.

        And apparently the lessons of the 90s with the GOP going after the president in an attempted legal coup rather than electorally were lost on Dems as well

        Facebook bans registered sex offenders (RSO’s), from Facebook, and blocked RSO’s on Instagram after they bought it. Despite the empirical data evidencing RSO’s have the second lowest rate of recidivism of all felons, and 96% of sex crimes are committed by first time offenders.
