There is that. And there is a corporate interest as well. The mainstream legacy media is dying, and online personalities are taking their viewers. Like him or not, Alex Jones had alot of followers and posed a threat to the media so they have allied with big tech (Google, Twitter, Facebook, Apple, etc) to have threatening competitors banned. The censor happy liberals are low IQ sheep being strung along by the corporations. They need the leftists to keep screaming hate speech, because if they don't this could easily become an FEC issue.
