Are you non-sarcastically defending Alex Jones?

[kolderman]

His right to free speech? Sure I am.

[jjeaff]

I'm quite certain he's still speaking, and no one is stopping him. You just can't go to Twitter to hear it.

[hluska]

You have the right to say (almost) anything you want. I have the right to tell you that you can't use my microphone. Someone else has the right to build a microphone tailored for you.

[kevin_thibedeau]

He still has that. Just without someone else's soapbox to stand on. Being obnoxious is a right, but it can invite consequences.

[packetized]

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequence.

[zorpner]

The right to free speech is not the right to a platform.

Uh huh... that poem had more than one line, and if it started with your version the response would broadly be, “get back to me in a few lines and I’ll start fighting.” Even the fallacy you’re invoking is a slope and not a cliff. The republic isn’t going to implode because Alex Jones can’t use PayPal. Now if the government were throwing him in jail for what he said, I’d grudgingly support his right to be a bloviating psychopath, with rights under the 1st amendment.

Companies not wanting to do business with him? yawn
