Alex Jones and Infowars gets 'disappeared' - are we headed in the right direction?

I see, thanks guys.

So I suppose this is rather similar to the "selling cake" example. I'm assuming that if Twitter was found to be banning people because they were gay, that this would be classed as illegal discrimination? Or does it work differently due to the nature of the service?

If the government were to get involved and force Twitter not to ban people except when they deem it appropriate, then they'd be entitled to do the same on our forum, and any private platform, I assume. If they wanted it to become part of basic rights and "freedom of speech", they'd need to make it a public service, as far as I can see. And they can't just claim stuff, that would be a scary situation. Maybe they can, I don't know.

Being a racist is not a protected class, so racists have no special protections or privileges. So while you can't deny service to someone for being gay, or black, or a woman, you can deny service to someone if they're being belligerent, or disruptive, or overtly racist. No baker needs to make a Swastika cake, unless they have a history/policy of making other pro-racist/fascist cakes, but then refused to serve Nazis for some reason.
