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

My point is, if you let someone decide for you that, then you're letting it up control to an authority besides yourself. People should be able to discern for themselves what they want to believe or not.

On the other hand, I'd like to see something akin to Elon Musk's Pravda suggestion, where people criticise journalists, news organizations and articles openly.

I'm against censoring anyone, even the likes of Alex Jones.

But he's not being censored.  You and everyone else is free to go to his website, listen to his show, buy his merch, etc.  This is an owner of a platform (eg, facebook) saying they will not let their private property be used in a certain way.  They have no obligation to host Alex Jones than they do to host pornographic videos or any other type of content.  They set the rules for using their property, and Alex Jones broke them, constantly.  He's not being booted for holding certain views, he's being booted for violating the rules over and over and over.
