These are publicly traded companies who provide acomodations for a service. If they are going to ban Jones for violating their EULA then they need to show how it was violated or face a significant lawsuit.Not really for several reasons. There are local anti discrimination laws in the area where the baker was. The baker violated them and the case went through the courts ending in a very narrow ruling that indicated extreme bias by one of those involved in prosecution.
In the case of these social media companies, what law are they violating?
Is there any law stating they most host every view?
Are they allowed to drop people who violate their openly stated Terms of Service?
A better example is this. Can a baker be forced to create a Nazi themed pro- holocaust cake? No.
The funny thing about it is that Alex Jones has more subscribers to his private podcast now than before the ban, a sort of 'Banned in Boston' effect.
And I am not a jones fan; anyone that thinks that the US government attacked us in a false flag attack on 9-11 is way off the deep end for my tastes.
