RE: Alex Jones and InfoWars Censored on Facebook and YouTube, AJ Banned, Pages Are Next
I think Alex Jones crossed the line this time. There is a difference between free speech and hate speech. This same issue happened in the case of Paladin Press in the mid 90's after a book they sold detailing how a hitman can get away with killing someone. The lawyers for Paladin argued it was free speech, but ultimately it went to a higher court where the judges ruled the book wasn't protected by free speech or the first amendment because it had intent.
Did Alex Jones have intent in that he was saying? Who knows. In his court custody case his lawyer argued he was an actor playing a character and that he doesn't believe in what he says. So who knows.
Yes, it's a fine line. But some people don't show intent to harm, yet have their voices silenced when speaking about issues. Maybe he went over the line. He's quite the character for sure. I owe him some respect for what he's gone, despite the BS he sometimes puts out.
I kow that from the Nuremberg trials!
Who the hell was it...?
