The Social media companies do have the right to banned Alex Jones and others from both left and right for violating their terms of service.
Although I disagree whole-heartedly with everything you said, I think the point is best illustrated with this specific example. What TOS did Jones violate on Linkedin? Please be specific.
Note: He never uploaded any "content" to Linkedin, as it is merely a resume site.
Is it possible instead, that the "big boys" (FB, AAPL, GOOG) colluded with one another (how do you break all those different TOS's simultaneously, after having been on them for decades?), and then the followers followed?
The more this decision is looked at, the less it holds up to scrutiny. This was done to kick off the larger plan of de-platforming anyone that is both popular and doesn't 100% toe the SJW line (assuming they can get away with it, and who would come to the defense of some kook?), under the auspices of "hate speech" (knowing that can apply that to literally anything), because alt-leftists are tired of losing.
Authoritarian alt-leftists then say "Whatever, create your own platforms then."
People have, Gab is a popular twitter alternative. BitChute, an alternative for Youtube. BOTH have been attacked by the SJW mobs and threatened to be removed by their domain registrars and payment processors.
"Whatever, create your own domain registrars and payments processors."
....
"Whatever, create your own internet."
