The Attack on Alex Jones Is a Shameful Attack on Freedom of Speech

Joel B. Pollak writes at Breitbart:
Internet provocateur and InfoWars proprietor Alex Jones is being systematically excluded from social media platforms.
This is, plainly, an attack on free speech.
Over the weekend, Facebook removed several Alex Jones-related pages, and Apple deleted many of his podcasts. On Monday, YouTube followed suit by deleting his video channel. Pinterest closed its InfoWars page. Twitter may soon do the same.
The timing is no coincidence: all of these outlets are responding to a campaign by left-wing activists who are determined to shut down conservative voices -- including Breitbart.
It is a shameful effort -- which is why some of those responsible for the boycotts have tried to maintain their anonymity.
