Because I see nothing to defend. The 1st Amendment wasn't violated, and I already boycott Apple for other reasons. So there is nothing for me to get bothered about.

I really don't care if Apple infringes on rights or not. I only care if a government does it.
Do you not care for free speech?
.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The first amendment is simply being bypassed. The result remains the same.

Boohoo. He has a website of his own. If people don't visit it then that is his own marketing problem.

Well this is a lie. The 1st Amendment can only be violated if the government is involved. You clearly need to go study up on civics.
I've made my point clear. Alex Jones isn't entitled to having his product hosted on Apple's services. Trying to spin this as a free speech issue is dumb and really shows you don't respect Apple's rights.

If politicians where not sponsored by corporations or governments did not use corporations to there own ends I might believe you. But this is simply not the case.
If the world was a simple as the propaganda provided in your civcs it would all be a lot easier. But the world is far more complex than that.

Well that's how capitalism works in reality. The top earners tend to coordinate to eliminate or absorb the competition and eventually end up as monopolies. But that is a story for a different thread.
