    free speech is only protected from prosecution by the government, not criticism. 

    when will people figure this out?

    They won't, because it doesn't suit their narrative.


    What's their take on Ghislaine Maxwell? Is she another victim of "globalist" George Soros?

    He is upset they broadcasted a banned videos. He is advocating that since the videos have been banned by a private companies that it should not be shown. He doesn't provide any criticism or counter argument other than the content is wrong and has been banned.

    That and it's Alex Jones.

    I'm curious to see how someone would go about defending Alex "Sandy Hook shooting was a false flag" Jones.

    you sure are making assumptions based on that one tweet. he's upset rogan is giving jones a platform. of course he's aware that rogan is legally allowed to do so, but he thinks it's irresponsible. 

    otherwise his tweet would be advocating calling the cops. which he didn't.

    Yes, from a person that describes themselves solely as a "free speech activist". Criticizing JRE for platforming AJ without acknowledging his own role in boosting that platform. It is hilariously hypocritical and not self-aware.

    no, it is not hypocritical at all. free speech has ZERO to do with it.

    100% this. A private citizen can use his/her speech to request a private company take an action and that company can consider it or ignore them entirely.

    You should be focused on the fact that Spotify doesn't seem to be bending on this. It's more important to encourage large companies and institutions to push back than get worked up over a rando Twitter blue check exercising his own rights.

    If you don't want a private company to censor, lobby that company. If they hear more voices in support, that affects their decision (see: Trader Joe's). You're not going to resolve anything by bickering with a howling mob. But some guys just want to be aggrieved and fight a culture war.

    The government didn't stop him from speaking....that is what the 1st Amendment is about.

    That people have a response to what was said has nothing to do with the 1A.  Ridiculous.

    "Free speech activist uses free speech to criticize corporation for amplifying misinformation" isn't the gotcha that Shorty seems to think it is.

    You forgot “free speech” between “amplifying” and “misinformation.”

    Exactly. Private citizen is criticizing big company with no repercussions from the state. Another private citizen could agree with the company and that's ok! What a system!

    rogan posted on instagram about this. he said (paraphrasing) that he knew people would judge this podcast without even watching it, and "i was right". he said he fact checked everything jones said, and he was mostly right on everything. he posted an interview that bill gates did where he admits that the corona vaccine that moderna is testing that 80% of the people in the study got sick. and bill gates looked uncharacteristically uncomfortable talking about it the entire time. 

    he said "look, we all know alex is nuts, but he's also right about a lot of things". 

    maybe i'll watch the podcast to see what his idea of fact checking is. I know that someone who posted a video of their proof that rogan is a nut/full of shit, but the video they posted was rogan looking at an article by the associated press.

    This is the AP article they were supposedly discussing:

    https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-health-middle-east-africa-united-nations-619efb65b9eeec5650f011b960a152e9

    On one hand, I have some criticism of Rogan and one is that he gives Alex Jones too much leeway. On the other hand, the people who are perpetually mad about him distort their critiques in the hope of maximizing impact. I probably wasn't going to listen to this episode to begin with and don't have the time to make myself a scholar on it. So I shrug my shoulders and just keep listening to the ones where the guests are interesting. MJK, Quinn, Burr, etc.

    This obsession with "free speech" and whatever amendment.

    Here it is just a given. Doesn't need to be a "thing".

    again with this "touched a nerve" shit. that's what people mean by trolling. you didn't touch any nerve. you once again showed your seemingly unending ignorance. and if touching people's nerves is some motivation for posting, then maybe you should take some time to reflect on why.
