I don't care if you believe me or not. You are lying if you claiming that the 1st Amendment was violated. Well either that or you are just plain ignorant to how the Bill of Rights works.

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.
It is a free speech issue. Do you or do you not care for free speech? Or is a trillion-dollar corporation's right to censor a user more important?

Funny, I don't recall anyone openly calling for that and I'm a regular visitor. If there are it likely makes up a very small perentage.

No. It really isn't. Jones is still 100% able to express his opinion.

Yes. It really is. He has been systematically censored on a variety of platforms.

Except his own. Ergo, not silenced.
When bouncers kick the mouthy drunk out of the bar for continuously stepping over the line (breaking the rules), and he gets kicked out of everywhere in the area for the same, are the bars all equally guilty?
No, they're exercising their rights to keep their business as they wish -- within their established rules of etiquette. Mouthy bro isn't banned from drinking, he just has to find somewhere else to do it & be a dick. His own abode suffices, he can invite friends to join him.
Same idea with Jones, SM being the online bars and his website being his house. People know where he lives, they're free to join him there for a "drink" as they please.

Indeed. How long ago was it this site was pro-anti corp. Not long, and it was the vast majority! Mind you, this site has become a political quagmire since.
People change, opinions change, times change. To see so much support for huge corporations is the antithesis of what this site originally stood for.
Perhaps this all illustrates and magnifies the unwillingness of people to think as individuals.
