People are leaving Spotify over decision to host Alex Jones Infowars podcast
I would <i>join</i> Spotify over this decision.  Not that I care one whit for Alex Jones or Infowars, but I am in the camp that believes free speech is its own virtue, and adheres to the &quot;No matter how strongly I disagree with what you say, I will fight and die for your right to say it&quot; principle.<p>Seriously, when did people decide to start compromising on foundational principles like this?<p>And before you say it, <i>yes</i> I know that &quot;Free Speech&quot;, vis-a-vis the 1st Amendment, is about what the <i>government</i> can or can&#x27;t do w&#x2F;r&#x2F;t restricting speech.  I think it goes without saying that I&#x27;m referring to the more general, colloquial usage of the term.
