There's no case for banning someone like Alex Jones except specific content that has specific violent threats against specific people or encourages such or that exposes private info. For everything else, show him wrong or find those who can.

.@millie__weaver: Alex Jones could make Apple/FB/etc look very bad if he finally did something smart: oppose censorship across the board. Not just of him. Not just of cons. But opposing censorship of everyone.
He'd marginalize AAPL etc rather than helping them marginalizing him.
.@millie__weaver: Alex Jones opposed censorship incompetently (eg falsely pretending only cons were impacted rather than opposing censorship across the board).

.@walterkirn: cons only oppose censorship of those who agree with them. They support or are neutral on censorship of others. They shrink the tent. It's extremely counter-productive: Alex Jones won't be the last.
Will you urge cons to oppose censorship in smart, big tent ways?
Cons can't figure out (a frequent sentence starter around here) that Trump & #MAGA leaving for Gab would further marginalize them. They'd no longer be part of the national conversation on #Twitter (such as it is).
If Trump left #Twitter for Gab & took #MAGA with him, what would happen? Very likely not much. Only 20% of users are USA & most aren't cons. Very generously assuming 30% are MAGA, that's only 1.8 million users and many/most wouldn't leave Twitter. What cons can't figure out is...
The problems #Breitbart, #AlexJones, etc are having are due in large part to them thinking it was a wise idea to narrowcast opposition to #censorship. The small tent they built collapsed on them & they can't figure out how to get out from under it.
#MAGA #resist
One path to reduce #censorship has to go through discrediting r/w grifters who only use the issue for page views. Exhibit A: #Breitbart. They know #Twitter heavily censors all kinds of users but refuse to acknowledge that even though it's in their great interests to do so. #MAGA
The opposition to mass/illegal #immigration & to #censorship are both two front wars. With censorship, one front is against SJWs/MSM hacks. The other is cons who mostly support censorship, except of those they agree with. They marginalize the opposition.
