    If you're troubled by the implications of purging Alex Jones, the conventional right-libertarian view on unfettered free enterprise doesn't provide any recourse. Either they're private companies and can do what they want, or they have public obligations à la utilities. Pick one

        Or you could be a private company with actual ethics and accountability to your shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, retailers, etc. There's more to culture than law.

        It's also a legal aspect here, as big tech companies are de facto monopolies with essential service to the society. So yes, I guess it's their legal duty to ensure due process at least, and maybe even to be bound by the 1st amendment

        We like to pretend they’re private companies but they profit from selling info the Uncle Sam and Uncle Sam enforces IP laws to help monopolize their industries. The only property rights government recognizes.

        There's a difference between the legal limits of what they can do and our opinions about the negative effects of what they do within those limits.

        Are you troubled by #FirstAmendment retaliation against a tenured journalism professor by a government-run public university? 🤔 Why is #AlexJones trending while there is a mockingbird media blackout of the #TracyvFAU #FreeSpeech case?https://twitter.com/justicefortracy/status/1026115276830597121?s=19 …

        The silence of so-called #FreeSpeech advocates like @ACLU, @TheFIREorg & @AAUP in face of pending #FirstAmendment case #TracyvFAU is deafening.

        Do we have a free market? Aren’t those “private” companies benefiting from government subsidies, protections, etc.?

        Facebook et al are private companies that can do what they want, but just cuz they're within their legal rights doesn't mean we can't criticize their actions and call them out. Recognizing property rights doesn't mean you respond to every exercise of those rights with a shrug

        The frequently overlooked third angle is deceptive trade practices and false advertising. You can't advertise yourself as a free, unbiased platform and then target only conservatives. If you want to do that, call yourself a leftist platform. Pick one.

        Either these attempts to silence him will be fruitless because people can seek alternative platforms or the platforms are monopolies. Many on the right, even libertarians oppose monopolies.
