that is a violation of our freedom of speech, social media must be considered too important for the constittuion not to apply. nobody can "own" twitter.
@007kingifrit: No. Your freedom of speech extends to the arena where the government can't tell you what to say or not to say as long you aren't trying to incite violence or making threats trying to get someone seriously hurt or killed.
Twitter is a private owned network. Your amendment of free speech right isn't protected over there.
Either you obey Twitter or any other website code of ethics, leave or get banned.

No. You're either for free speech, or you aren't.
(GAG recommended this to me super late!)
Yes. He's the owner, he gets to decide who he bans or accepts on his website.

If you state the same as for Google-controlled and Facebook-controlled platforms, I will likely agree.
we cannot live in peace much longer without recognizing the digital space as the town square
It is totally inconsistent. But he bought it. He can do whatever he wants with it.
Maybe people ask over the top as Alex Jones deserves to ban after calling Sandy hook staged.
I don't know why Musk has Jones on a ban. Musk would allow Hitler on Twitter if he could.
no alex jones may be nuts but he didn't break any laws, i think digial space is vital now for a democracy and must follow the constitution
No, you're either for free speech or you're not. Enough of this fence sitting nonsense.
I don't agree with being banned.
I think it’s bullshit
No I don’t. I’m not sure at what point in time having an opinion became a crime
They were banned for a reason!
May be liability issues with Alex Jones
Nope. It’s stupid to keep Alex off Twitter.
I do not know this lad.
I support free speech
What did he do to deserve banning?
Yes. This guy is nuts.
He did get convicted so…
why doesn't he just get a new account?
Seems reasonable.
