Your definition of "free speech" includes not taking action against truly malicious and slanderous and manipulative people like Alex Jones?
And there is no "who draws the line‽" argument here, Jones exists miles beyond what is ever ok.

That's exactly the argument, not everybody thinks Alex Jones went too far. In fact, I bet a lot of people who listen to Alex Jones would find something you supported to be miles beyond what is ever OK. That's part and parcel of living in a diverse, cosmopolitan society. Sometimes, other people's opinions are miles beyond OK, but that's still okay. ;)
Absolute nonsense.
No company is obligated to provide that platform for him. When judging a company for what content they decide they don't want to host, spinning "vimeo banned Alex Jones" as negative is ridiculous.
Edited: he can't actually say whatever he wants even on his own platform. There's actually a lawsuit against him right now. Too many internet folk don't actually know what "free speech" means and I should not validate such ignorance.
Popular media exists miles beyond what is ever ok. Do you want to ban those too?
