Still speech. Silencing him just streisand effects him anyways so it's pretty pointless.

You turn controversial ideas into forbidden knowledge. Alex Jones is probably more powerful now to his followers due to the fact that he's contraband

I look forward to Alex Jones becoming the kind of forbidden knowledge that the flat earthers had to distribute using flyers & home-printed tabloids in the pre-internet days.
of course... 5 minute old account named trumpanomics..
My account isn't 5 minutes old, but I still agree with what parent post said. Making something taboo makes it coveted or people more interested in it than if it wasn't. Pull the straw man out and try another argument please.
If he's wrong, he's wrong regardless of his name or the age of his account.
Thank you. He is also wrong.
Could you supply a bit more reason and/or argument than just "he's wrong" and "the account is five minutes old, with a name that seems fishy to me". So far you have said exactly nothing that looks even remotely persuasive.
