The Left would not tolerate the Right banning and censoring anyone on Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MSN, and other media outlets.
You have't heard of them because they're not famous. We don't celebrate our douche bags like righties do.

I didn't realize that Alex Jones was kicked of Twitter because of one of the protected classes: race, gender, religion, et al?

Not sure what I can say. Vote libertarian? Twitter can't ban people because they're gay (or Nazis) if they follow the rules.

Neither did I, but yet completely irrelevent to what I posted.

It should be able to. If you own it, you have final say.
Can you refuse to let someone into your home for any reason ? Of course, and a business should be no different.

A warrant gets people in your house you don't want. There have been a few inlaws over the years too, I'm sure.

You can vote libertarian and hope for the best. Convince enough of us that businesses won't abuse that right, like they did routinely in the past, and who knows.

You need convincing that freedom and non-violence is better than violence?

Well gee, if libertarianism was only that simple. You come across as thoughtful enough to know it's not.

It's like communism, really good on paper, but then people get involved what with their agendas and all, and eff it up.
