you're comparing tw internet market share to google/apple/facebook/twitter
in other words, you're a fucking moron

On the other hand, if these companies are TRULY worried about hate speech policy and liability thes surely isis videos, louis farrakan, and others would be a bigger threat than ALex Jones.
I mean I would hate to think this is about silencing the right before the midterms.

Lets break this down.
Yeah, no shit youtube accounts aren't an essential liberty.
I said nothing to the merits of the quote itself - it simply does not apply to this situation. You've agreed with me on that (see above)
That's cute. You're framing this as if I'm personally forcing these companies to ban Alex Jones, and not that Youtube, Apple, Spotify, etc. made the choice themselves due to repeated TOS violations. That's incredibly dishonest, to say the least.
I believe they have the right to host (or not host) anyone. You believe they should be forced to host everyone against their wishes.
Says the guy who wants to force companies to host content that violates their TOS, for free, no matter what.
I must have missed market share in the first amendment, do you mind pointing it out?
Yes, that was the point I was making - conservatives are all about businesses choosing who they want to do business with until a conservative gets banned. Congrats on being smart enough to figure that out, but not smart enough to realize that public accommodation law does not cover political opinion.

What terms of service did alex jones violate?
Do isis videos violate those TOS? How about louis farrakan?
Alex jones was banned from Linked in. What terms of service did he violate there?
yes
(with the note that they will probably get sued/investigated)
this is not about allowing or disallowing any particular company from hosting anyone
this is about leaving the decision to host anything up to the host itself

no one said they should be forced. he said he wished they agreed on the principle of free speech.
why is this so hard to grasp
yes, they have the right to censor anyone for any reason
and yes, i wish they wouldnt
No, I believe standards should be applied equally to everyone, and if they aren't, stop trying to pretend you're a free and open platform. And point out where I ever said a company must host someone who violates their TOS for free no matter what. I never have captain straw man.
It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen. A bunch of parents have their children murdered and now they have to deal with a massive shit lord like Alex Jones riling up literally the dumbest people on the planet for more page views while the parents have to go into hiding and can't even visit their childrens graves.
I think the defamation lawsuit is their only avenue for going after the guy.
triple is right in that market share is not in the First Amendment. Congress should treat all online companies the same. For the past 2 years, Congress has held hearings on the executives of the largest private media companies such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google, regarding data privacy and Russian meddling. I assume Rayn was there testifying for TW too, right?
I disagree, but I wasn't expecting moral clarity from the guy defending the guy who shits on school shooting victims.
Why do you think triple was stripped of admin?
yeah, that sounds like a bunch of overhyped bullshit fake news to me.
I'm defending speech and equal standards. You've admitted to wanting differing standards enforced based on self-declared morality standards. Which sounds more dangerous?
