Would someone explain to me how it is that a baker, a photographer, a pizza parlor are all required to serve all customers because they are “open for business” under the public accommodation laws, but FB,Apple,etc., can refuse to serve Alex Jones. Are they not subject to the public accommodation laws?

This is a serious question, not a comment on the apparent hypocrisy of the situation. Tell me what I’m missing, or what I don’t understand.

The baker, photographer, etc can refuse to serve a customer based on any reason other than discrimination against a protected class (e.g. homosexual). If a couple of any type wants the F word printed on their cake, the baker can refuse. Or if the couple uses the F word in the store, the store can kick them out.

Some services removed some Alex Jones articles and videos based on their principles of standards of conduct or content. But banning Jones completely would support your argument. I don't think they should be able to ban him completely.

You are not missing anything - except that we not longer have a functioning Rule-of-Law.

The Leftists are free to say anything they want, as long as the ruling oligarchy approves of it. Opponents of the rulers are free to shut up and submit. Or they can be fired, denied bank accounts, denied transportation, denied internet access, denied service at a restaurant, or denied medical care.

Approved Leftists are exempt from "public accommodation laws".

That is the "Law" which is being promoted. That is what we will not accept.
