Private companies get to decide what their tools and resources are being used for.

I thought you guys were against government meddling in such matters.
Wrong.


Facebook and YouTube have become the “public square”

You haven't been paying attention obviously. Google twitter shadow banning...facebook banning conservatives. Jones is NOT a conservative...I ain't sure WHAT he is but he has a right to voice his opinion but we ALL know leftists can't handle dissenting opinions and want them ALL silenced.

No surprise the rightists are fine with Fake News! when it comes from their favorite source of Fake News!

I understand a leftist's head is usually shoved up another body party or stuck in the sand but censorship of people on the right including VERY mainstream and well known conservatives IS going on. He doesn't NEED to provide proof for something that's common knowledge.

Aw, he's upset because one of his go-to's for information and conspiracies to spread, Alex Jones, is feeling consequences for being a voice of hate and dishonesty.

Poor Donny. He's not being real smart by getting into a fight with Silicon Valley, while, at the same time, begging them to bring more jobs to the country to make himself look good.
