No one's stopping us from talking about what he said. It's not a crime, thought or otherwise to discuss someone else's crimes and ideas. Pretty much everything else he said you could podcast to 1 million people a day and NEVER encounter what happened to him.
But it is a free speech issue. I’ve never been a fan of Alex. However, that doesn’t give anyone the right to censor him.
Who creates the rules on this topic? Who is policing those rules? That’s the problem with a situation like this. Once you say ‘NO, he shouldn’t be able to say that!’ — then you open the door for all your other freedoms to be trampled on. The precedent has been set. Now we get to deal with the consequences.
