Free Speech should Remain Free

I was doing a fair bit of observation on twitter today and couldn’t help but notice that quite an amount of people appeared to be in support of the censoring imposed on Alex Jones, founder of Info Wars. Not that am entirely surprised owing to the political divide, but I believe it is necessary to put things in order when influences can be far reaching across board.

Who gets to decide what appropraite speech is or isn’t should not be left in the hands of media companies with private interest or leanings. If you feel he sells lies it is better to report him to the security agencies where he can be subject to investigations- at least that way ensures that actions are not merely taken based on sentiments.

If this one is allowed to hold, there is no telling what could come next as anything deemed inappropriate (even when untrue) can just be removed by the media giants without any explanation whatsoever. Nobody wants to live in a World where our voices cannot be heard, particularly when they pertain to voices of reason.

So for those who still support this I urge you to leave political sentiments aside and think long term. Don’t turn your country into a place where the freedom we all admire America for is simply lost in a system built and supported by you.
