https://media.giphy.com/media/13l7w7N4Vr1dw4/giphy.gifYou've made Alex Jones (violator of site rules) getting held accountable for his actions so much more enjoyable
Alex Jones is responsible for Alex Jones getting banned from sites that are not owned and ran by him
Perhaps he should follow rules that he agrees to follow by signing up or pull himself up by his bootstraps and figure out a way to successfully distribute his content in a way where he is the one making the rules

Get them banned you won't hear me complain
They provide a service. They are under no obligation to allow those you like to stick around or to ban those you dislike
It's their reputation on the line when they enforce or don't enforce their rules.
Don't like it? Don't use it. You have no right to it. Your friends and political heroes have no right to it.
I don't like Alex Jones at all, I never agree with his conspiracies or videos. However, if what he was banned for is actually what I've heard what he got banned for. There is something wrong with that. Is it a private service? Yes. You're right, they can do what they want. But that doesn't mean that it's still the right thing to do. When individuals silence voices, there should be an alarm in that. I don't recall Alex Jones ever inciting others to commit violence or anything like that. Overall, I don't use Twitter anyways.
Similar topic.
I don't think YouTube will be the main source of videos within the next 5 years or so. With all of the content creators upset with how the monetization works, and the flagging of videos. A lot of content creators hate youtube now, with the constant censorship, people really can't express themselves freely and videos get flagged for bogus reasons all the time. YouTube uses formulas and restricts users profits and viewcounts if you don't align with the agenda they have created. It's limiting, and flawed.
