What should elected representatives do? You as a citizen have the right to not consume Alex Jones content. Apple has a right to ban it. The government does not have the right to be involved at all unless we are to simply ignore the first amendment.
I definitely don’t want my elected representatives involved in idea curation. That’s far more terrifying. Go be a journalist in Turkey to see what is truly terrifying when elected representatives get involved.
