Should Alt Right voices be silenced?

Most likely.

A private citizen telling a Trump supporter that Trump is in fact an authoritarian despot, liar, and enemy of democracy is not to ‘silence’ the Trump supporter.
They think getting banned off some social media platform is being silenced. They still seem to be able get on the same page with any particular lie with lightning speed in spite of being so terribly oppressed.

Yes – the lie that conservatives who violate the rules of a given private online platform and are no longer allowed to participate are being ‘silenced’ is as wrong as it is dishonest.
 
To those who support silencing those they disagree with today remember you could be the one that gets silenced tomorrow.
No one supports anyone being ‘silenced.’

There is speech not entitled to First Amendment protections lawfully prohibited or preempted by government where to prohibit or preempt such speech does not constitute being ‘silenced.’

And private persons and private entities have neither the ability nor authority to ‘silence’ anyone – private persons or private entities who oppose and condemn hate speech, misinformation, and lies ‘silence’ no one; advocates of hate speech misinformation, and lies remain at complete liberty to express their viewpoints.

If the situation were reversed - Conservatives controlling Facebook and Twitter - you people would be calling for Facebook and Twitter to be broken up under the free trade laws of the US. Need proof? Look how Democrats and Liberals shot themselves to the point they wanted to use the 1947 Fairness Doctrine to shut down Fox News and antiquated AM TALK Radio when they dominated every other media.

What would you have the government do to make sure you can tell dangerous lies to gullible people and never be called out for it?
 
If you deem them as misinformation should their voices be silenced?
You would like to think the corporations who are providing the platform be it TV channel, Newspaper or Social Media would have standards on accuracy of the information being given....

Now the question should be, can platforms be allowed to undermine the public by spreading misinformation?

On what authority or validation are considered “dangerous lies”? How about when a senior member of the government tells the people they can’t have family gatherings yet participate in gatherings of fifty people plus? Or how about when the government tells the people they can’t go get a haircut yet go out an do it themselves? Finally, how about when the government tells people the can’t go to Church or have a Wedding or Funeral yet says nothing about masses gathering for a protest?
