What I believe should be legal and what I believe should be done (by decent people) are different questions.

Right wing and conspiracy oriented, but not racist, no.

Which is a nonsense principle. Private companies should be either allowed to discriminate on whatever grounds they like or forced to treat all equally.

I'm unsure of what the exact legal status is federally and per state (although I've heard claims that social media giants represent de facto public forums and thus are subject to some free expression requirements), I'm simply pointing out the inconsistency.

Regarding "history of power and violence", well, if we compare the amount of violence and harassment right-wing events and meetings get (from Antifa, and other such orgs), vs. how relatively undisturbed gay pride events are, along with the overwhelming opposition of the media, academia, corporate elite, etc., to rightist views, I think its clear that the bulk of the "power and violence" lie not with people like Jones

Its pretty insane that public businesses are forbidden from discrimination on most grounds (political views, religious views, etc) of who it employs, or who can enter their business, but its perfectly fine for FB, Google, Apple, Twitter, etc., to completely control the content of the conversation on their platforms.

It doesn't make sense that as a baker I can be forced to bake gay wedding cakes, or as a Restaurant owner I can't open a 'straight white people only' restaurant, but Social Media giants can basically purge any and all far right content.

FIFA has been corrupt for decades. Although supposedly its been cleaned up since Blatter was removed, it is doubtful the institutional corruption has been eliminated completely. The only question is how pervasive it is.

If I told you a short story and then informed you it was copyrighted by me and you were morally forbidden from repeating said story, but you still repeated it, are you now a sociopath?

What a ridiculous stretch of logic.

On the contrary the idea that people's lives/property should be threatened (e.g. Kim Dotcom, ThePirateBay, etc.) for interfering, vaguely, in multinational conglomerates attempts to prevent the copying of 1s and 0s is entirely sociopathic. Something that most corporations end up behaving as.
