Dear conservatives: Stop treating Alex Jones like a martyr

Best of all, those who supposedly prize freedom believe the ability to post on a social media platform is related to the First Amendment protection of free speech. This may come as a disappointing shock, but the two are not connected. The First Amendment is designed to protect you and your speech from governmental intervention through the passage of laws that would infringe upon this precious liberty. It has absolutely nothing to do with a private company’s ability to make their own decisions about how to run their business. This extends to sites such as Facebook, YouTube, and the like.
