I think roads, electricity, and water should be a public utility, but I don't think someone should be able to walk into a Starbucks and scream hateful nonsense.

Here's the difference: Alex Jones can go create his own video site easily, but he can't create his own worldwide ISP.




It's not the same. Starbucks is a strawman.

People have to take action and opt in to watching something on YouTube. They have a choice. If people don't want to hear someone they never have to.

Youtube doesn't provide the means for publishers to interrupt what you are currently watching (well there's ads but that's a bit different as ads have increase scrutiny).


On the internet, the roads, electricity and water are private utilities.


I don't think Alex Jones knows how to code.

And if he used an existing infrastructure like AWS, I would hope AWS would kick him off of it.
