The President Donald Trump hostile mainstream media has finally gotten their wish as <strong>Alex Jones</strong> and <a href="https://infowars.com"><strong>Infowars</strong></a> were <a href="https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2018/aug/07/why-infowars-alex-jones-was-banned-apple-facebook-/">banned from YouTube, iTunes, Spotify and a host of other distribution platforms</a>. Under the guise of 'hate speech" one of the most prominent alternative media voices in the world has been removed from public view on major platforms - prompting a fierce debate about the power of social media companies in modern times.&nbsp;</p>

@supersane · 
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.

@devmo · 
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...
