Free speech.

[Voltaire]

I'm assuming you mean Hilary Clinton.

But yes, you're absolutely right.

Opps...corrected, apart from spelling.

Perhaps there should be a place where speakers can speak, and on the other side of the large fence protesters can protest.

I wonder if the media realise they are a promotional tool.

I was going to say that guy doesn't understand freedom of speech. I see a claim though that it's a fake account? It looks like his genuine account but...

No mention of this on the tele or Herald other than the PM costing 80K in flying time.
Was a bit about not allowed to talk about the refugee camps.

The system works!

The only system at work here is the Left's attempt to prove the Right correct.

Banning Alex Jones (as much as I detest him) was the single dumbest thing they could have done.

That hate filled gas bag doesn't represent the right, and twitter doesn't represent the left.

Twitter simply decided the hatred and abuse he was spewing was against their terms of use and gave him the boot. Free speech still doesn't mean people can spew drivel from whatever forum they desire.

Just the same as your opinion represents nothing other than your opinion.

Wow, that you feel that needed a dedicated post to point that out shows you're really struggling with this whole 'thinking for yourself' thing...

What's next? will you regail us with tales of how one plus one equals two? How the sky is blue? What pearls of wisdom shall dribble forth next

The Right: "There exists an echo chamber within left-leaning companies who are banning anyone who is Right wing!"
The Left: "They can't say that! We must ban them!"

As for the terms of service - I see Sarah Jeong still has her Twitter account....

That argument only holds up if the Terms of Use are applied equally, which they clearly aren't.

Grow up you fool. Left and right are not represented as your try to portray. Nor can you understand how the terms of use are applied.

So why is there a Congressional hearing on it?

Or is that just a conspiracy too?

Twitter has openly vowed to "Ban the Nazis" - yet allows Antifa members (a domestic Terrorist group) to remain on the platform.

If Alex Jones has breached the Terms of Use, then so has Sarah Jeong - this is not an opinion, but an objective fact.

Alex gets banned, Sarah does not.

Why?

Because Sarah has the "correct" Politics and Alex does not.
