THE SILENCING OF ALEX JONES

My take on this is that corporations have a right to ban individuals on their respective platforms for many reasons. While this isn't necessarily a freedom of speech issue, it is definitely a censorship issue. Freedom of speech would imply that the government is making it illegal for people to express themselves in a variety of different ways. However, here we have an issue where the government is supposedly not involved. For the record, I don't agree with a lot of what Alex Jones says, but I do believe he should not be censored because a certain group of executives have decided that he is a threat to their platform.

But is there a point of monopolization, when they become so large that people don't really have a "real" alternative?

Shouldn't there be some sort of regulation or legislation of these platforms, once they reach a point of "no return", if u know what I mean?

It's a tough one...
