Seems like a word that needed to be invented to attribute responsibility to someone who isn't actually responsible. Would be a great tool for a totalitarian state to abuse.

There's quite a few passages in the bible (among many books) that, if recited, could be described as "stochastic terrorism". That is, they could "inspire violence". However, I'm sure double standards would be applied rigorously - to make sure it's not a problem for "the right people".

If that's his actual "crime", I don't like the way this is going. What goes around, comes around.

I dont think different standards should apply to someone just because they have a popular show.

Sue the individuals who actually committed the acts of harassment, not Alex Jones. The people actually responsible for the harassment are getting away with it unscathed here, while a performer is punished. This isnt justice.

American right-wing authoritarians have a weird relationship with the slippery slope fallacy. On the one hand, holding someone accountable for making claims which they admitted they knew were false, leading to demonstrable harm to the victims' families, then failing even to comply with court procedure or instructions, is such a slippery slope that clearly the entire first amendment (which isn't even relevant in this case) at risk. See also: gun laws. On the other hand, draconian anti-abortion laws supposedly aren't a slippery slope at all, even though they have already resulted in thousands of women being denied life-saving medications for completely unrelated medical conditions. It's almost like the they're picking and choosing when to use these arguments (see also: originalism) based on something other than logic or morality.

What's really abhorrent is that people are invoking "freedom" (in this case of speech) to defend someone who is a major player in the movement toward authoritarian control over literally every part of our lives. If I hadn't lost all respect for such people decades ago, I certainly would now.

If the split so nicely mirrored political boundaries we wouldn't be having this discussion. We're having this discussion because incompatible ideologies are fighting for control of one country.
