Opinion | I'm a lawyer who sued Alex Jones on behalf of the Sandy Hook families, leading to his deplatforming. The social media ban of Trump is troubling.

about the tech giants' transparency, the standards they applied, and whether they even had standards at all. In Jones' case, I think the facts show he was a mayhem agent. On this, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and I agreed. But I failed to see why Jones wasn't just as much of a threat in 2015 when he was uploading videos showing maps to find my clients and telling his audience they needed to be looked into.

Jones knows he is but one participant on this battlefield, and like many of his imitators, including President Trump, he is all too aware that his best defense is to point to the very real information manipulation of his opponents. Jones and President Trump are not wrong when they say that mainstream sources frequently mislead their audiences. And it gives them license to do likewise as enemy combatants.

These proposals each have their own allure. They also invite profound dangers. Mark Verstraete and Derek Bambauer, examining this problem in "The First Amendment Law Review," wrote in their article "" that misinformation is "grounded in long-term political and sociological changes in America rather than in very recent technological or jurisprudential changes. Complex problems typically lack simple answers, and fake news is no exception.

But much of the solution must come by fixing a society that subjects its citizens to such significant material and psychological deprivations, a society that has recoiled from a series of failures in governance.

GenePark The LACK of a ban over these past four years should be more troubling than the 11th hour banning of Trump. We don't need any 1st Amen panels, simply laws that digital platforms cannot profit (i.e. cannot sell ads) next to disinformation, libel, and propaganda.

JordanUhl Idk about the freedom of speech thing but I think people forget, yes it’s cool for you to not see him anymore on your feed but now all this is going underground on 4chan and all the dodgy forums that no one is policing and that’s where all the crazy stuff starts going down.

EoinHiggins_ Only worry is how long it took.

JordanUhl Counter opinion | I'm just an average schmo and I'm taking great pleasure in his silence.

JordanUhl Gee, maybe the private sector isn’t the answer to all our prayers after all?

JordanUhl Yeah but it’s not though
