Sooo, is it official? Are we now living in a Post-Free-Speech world now?

Because it certainly feels that way.
I remember when everyone went to bat in court to allow all kinds of deviant pornography to be distributed to the local 7-11 next to the MAD magazines your 9 year old was purchasing.
Suddenly Alex Jones' gay frogs have sent the entire country into a frenzy of banishing "incorrect" speech under the guise that all the typical ways this is distributed (Azure cloud, ISPs, video & social media platforms..) is suddenly some hotbed of PRIVATE PROPERTY while the VERY SAME PEOPLE ADVOCATING FOR GRAPHIC ANAL SEX IN MAGAZINES YOUR 8YO COULD PICK UP are cheering and high-fiving that Dr. Evil Alex Jones and the whole wretched conservative ideology is going to silenced.
But it didn't start here, angry 'free speech advocates' successfully bullied colleges and free speech rallies all over the country by smashing windows and burning police cars and hitting people over the head with bike locks so pretty much every 'slightly right of center' commentator gave up, packed their bags and quit trying to exercise their right to free speech in a public space.
Its sad and it will come full circle and bite these same 'so-called' progressives in the butt sooner rather than later.

this ends with them getting their socialist revolution and killing lots of people...or them being killed first.

It’s just crazy to see liberals advocating for larger govt control and against free speech.
Classic liberalism is dead.

if jones had voted for obama, you wouldn't give two shits he was banned for making money off other people's grief ... but since he voted for trump, you claim he's a conservative pundit being silenced by msm ...
anyone who uses alex jones as an example of unethical 'censorship' is a tool ...

Do you always have to be such a patronizing prick? You must be a blast at parties.
Posted on 8/9/18 at 2:33 pm to CAD703X
If you don't want your head bashed in the answer is "yes". And it will get worse.

He is an adult who still wears his college ring. Yes, he has to be a patronizing prick, and of course he is never invited to parties.

No
What happened was people chose to use platforms that were run by liberals.
Right now is a prime opportunity for someone with big bucks to make a run at twitter and facebook

Progressives. A true liberal wouldn't ban them.

Bingo. Allow our wonderful system to correct this. Someone who may even hate the Right may develop this new exciting tool(s) and get rich.

Typical short sighted liberal. Are we agreeing social media is not a public forum?

Correct.
Liberals love free speech.
Progressives want authoritarian control over speech.

Half of republicans want the POTUS to be able to shutter news organizations at will, so.......we're getting close frickface.

Not yet. Just neonpuritans bitterly clinging to the remnants of a dying ideology by being moral arbitrators. Book burnings soon to come
