I thought this was a really good video on the situation and one that mostly mirrors my opinions.
also dont know about apple and facebook but google/youtube, received a ungodly amount of government subsidies. so give it back or be open to the WHOLE PUBLIC!

This isn’t a left/right issue at least from my perspective. And it goes way beyond Alex Jones. As Apple, Google and Microsoft become ever more powerful we need to consider how this power will effect our lives, free speech included. In ten years all three will have 3 to 5 trillion dollar market valuations at a minimum. That’s heretofore unimaginable power and reach. (If you don’t already own stock in all three as well as a good AI ETF for the long haul you’re missing out on a fortune due to power of compounding returns). The largest corporations will dominate every sphere of public life. It’s crazy not to be concerned.
Let’s not forget, he claimed that sandy hook was a hoax which led to those poor parents receiving death threats from Jones’ mindless zombies.
Calling babe and Dutch idiots isn’t defaming because it’s truth and we all (except them) know it’s true.
Do our laws need to be updated to protect these companies when the people they host slander and libel? I am pretty sure the people who want to sue Alex Jones have pretty big dollar signs in their eyes thinking that if Facebook, Google and Apple allow slander after being given notice by them that it's happening they could get a settlement in the many many millions of dollars.I have a soft spot of admiration for free speech liberals and principled civil libertarians, the types that are likely to be ACLU supporters and volunteers. They are a welcome voice in these hyper-partisan times when personality and party so often trump principal. The ACLU has been around for almost one hundred years (it was founded in 1920). And it remains far and away the leading advocate and defender of the First Amendment and more general free speech issues.
Following Alex Jones’ removal from Apple, Google, Facebook and Pinterest platforms, the ACLU reiterated it’s position that social media should not censor offensive speech. Vera Eidelman, a fellow with the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, has subsequently expanded on this position:
“The recent decision by Facebook and YouTube to take down Alex Jones’ content may have provided a quick solution to a challenging situation, but encouraging these companies to silence individuals in this way will backfire. Whether out of distaste for hateful speech or inaccurate content, they will get it wrong.”
We can be sure in the next decade Apple, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, will continue to get privacy and free speech issues wrong and that Third Way liberals and establishment conservatives will continue to make excuses for them and whine the timeless tagline that what’s good for big business is good for America.
As the ACLU’s centennial approaches it’s a good time to reconsider outdated and partisan reasons for not supporting the civil liberties organization. More than ever the ACLU will be a vital voice against both governmental and corporate violations of privacy and free speech.

Should these companies just pay these cases in their devotion to protecting speech?
Probably best to wait and see how case law develops before writing new protections that may not be necessary. Has Apple had to pay out on a single libel lawsuit? I have to say as an Apple stockholder I’m not too worried.Do our laws need to be updated to protect these companies when the people they host slander and libel?
