I’m not defending anything, just telling you what reality is
No.
You (and others) are defending censorship.
Own it.

You’re wrong. Just like ATS can kick you out of here screaming FREE SPEECH if you violate their terms these companies can perfectly well deny anyone their platform if they deem they have broken their rules.
That in itself is free speech, to deny you their platform
Yeah, problem is when an alternative pops up they are demonetized and have to close doors.
When the financial entities are partisan and against free speech. What then?
Without financing there is no way to run a big platform, and if your followers are blocked from paying you, the link between consumer and supplier necessary for the free market is cut.
This is without mentioning domain registrars denying you service, impeding you from having your own platform.
In the free market, free speech triumphs. Solo, Marvel Comics, that have embrace radical leftist ideology they fail in the market.
Right now Alex was being quite successful, and it seems they fear the effects on the midterms. But banning him will only add fire to @walkaway

You do know the reason why Alex Jones's ex wife got custody of the kids don't you.
It's all over Austin.

So if Fox News or CNN, or MSNBC ban certain people, and they have done that, they are censoring people, right?
CNN banned Reza Aslan, for example, fired him, is that censorship?
You guys don’t know what you’re talking about
These companies are private concerns just like Fox, CNN etc... They can ban anyone they like and it’s NOT censorship
It's like saying I have to have anybody who wants to come to my blog and say anything they want, if not, its censorship
Your logic doesn't wash

I support Alex jones, censoring and kicking anyone off his show that he wants to. He pays the bills and it's his show.
But now he's gotten all snowflakey and crybaby.

He should have played by the rules of the game. If not, you do not get sympathy when you lose.
Okay, bend over and take it like a good slave. he who owns the gold makes the rules, and you are not in that club, so get ready for that club to hit you over the head to keep you in line.
You do not appear to understand the situation. No one is a slave. You/we have the choice to play in the rich man's garden. Do not play by his rules, you get kicked out of the garden, and you get no sympathy for getting the boot.
