Facebook, Apple, YouTube/Google, Spotify are ostensibly 4 diverse independent actors acting together. Coordinated corporate action like this is a serious problem that has nothing whatsoever to do w/ the various peculiarities of the target here. What are we seeing? What is this?https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1026534085634793473 …

We're seeing the Leftist elite realizing they're losing control of the American government, so they're executing an ideological coup through the companies that control the means of communication. Like Communists seizing TV stations in banana republics. But more 21st century.

Jones is such a terrible representation for alternative thought, I am loathe to defend him. I support diverse thought of all kinds. I also support companies having the right to control what happens in their domains. I find it strange that the right thinks jones is their voice.

So would a private hospital have the right to turn away an injured person from their ER just because they don't like her politics? And even if they had the legal right, would it be ethical?

Hospitals could and did. They passed laws to prevent it. Doctors take an oath against it. That's why this is such a shitty comp: Are you suggesting that the gov't pass laws to guarantee a platform of the speakers choosing? Should techies have an oath like the Hippocratic oath?
