Remember how in the last week or so the far right have wept their crocodile tears about how a business dare restrict Alex Jone's speech? Many even announced it is a violation of his First Amendment Rights!(lol).
Now this week, we find out that the Trump Organization, the Trump campaign and the Trump administration all require employees to sign non-disclosure agreements that among other things bind them to never saying anything bad about Trump- ever- EVER- now or in the future.
What is the actual difference between Facebook not hosting Alex Jones and Trump's NDA's?
FB not hosting Alex Jones doesn't stop Jones speech- it just reduces his audience.
Trump's NDA's are explicitly designed to prevent speech.
I have yet to see a single person who argued that Facebook is such an evil organization- express any objections to Trump's non-disclosure agreements.
Which makes it pretty clear- that this was not about 'free speech' ever. It was about defending Alex Jones and the fringe far right.
