I think for most people it's just a partisan thing, he's right wing so they'd be fine with shutting down his speech. Whether or not that's riots, or dropping book deals or some form of legal restrictions. I mean it's all part of a society that's against free speech rather then for it. So he said that the age of consent should be 13 (the same as it is in Spain) let him defend that idea and rebut it using your own words and logic.
Outside of the more violent reactions, I'm still confused about how you think this is shutting down his ability to speak. As I said a few times already, others just aren't giving him their platforms to speak from. He can still speak, but he is limited to his own resources now... just like the protesters. If anyone else respected him enough, he wouldn't be in this pickle. He had those resources until he scared off even the most right-wing sources available. His mistake. Let him go online to defend his position with the same tools the rest of us "commoners" have.
