Not being American, and living somewhere where freedom of speech is not guaranteed, I don’t understand the problem. Surely freedom of speech is different to freedom from consequence. If I want I can legally (in the US) go about spreading hateful lies, but I better be prepared for the consequences of my actions. I can say what I want, but it doesn’t mean what I say is acceptable or that others have to like it. If platform owners decide they don’t want me using their systems to promote my particular brand of racist demagoguery, well, fair enough. There must be some sort of social responsibility. The Internet gives anyone with a bit of determination the reach and influence previously only available to large organisations, but with great power etc... Yes it’s legal to say anything, but surely for those who do say things, especially to a large (and largely uncritical) audience there is an obligation to do so responsibly. By poisoning our shared information well with their vicious lies, Mr Jones and his ilk are being highly irresponsible and should be held to account.
