Don't think its honest to label conservatives we don't like as alt-right just to ban them. If they are pushing violence, ban them under the TOS for violence.
I'm completely cool with this, because
-All platforms have the right to exercise editorial discretion, and
-Those people are awful, and
-This will only drive the adoption of censorship resistance platforms, which I'm generally in favor of.<p>Free speech is important, but people too often forget about the freedom of association, and its inverse the freedom of non-association. And Medium should have the freedom to not associate with the alt-right any other conspiracy theorists if it chooses to.
Can't they just stop the spread of false information in general? I feel like by saying it's targeting the alt-right leaders, it's doing precisely what those groups want - to attack the Press because it's singling them out.
