First they shut down Jones.  Then it was Yanopolis.  Then its Shapiro, then Crowder, then Rogan...Who decides what's inappropriate to talk about?  Government?  If you like who's making the decisions now, in 6 years those decisions will be made by a "tyrant"

The internet is the townhall.  even the idiots deserve to participate.  I would never suggest removing Drifter. 
If people don't hear better arguments they just listen to the ones they already believe.  Censoring people you don't believe in turns bad quickly. 

Also, defining people by their biggest mistake doesn't offer much redemption.

But yeah, he's a little silly!  and no, I don't agree with most of what he says.

Disinformation negates all of these points you are attempting to make. 

Disinformation is falsehood willingly spread with the intent to deceive. It is much worse than, and not to be confused with misinformation. It is much more akin to propaganda. 

Why does willful deception ever deserve a platform anywhere? 
It's not about whether he's "silly" or someone "not believing in him" - he willfully spread lies with intent to deceive and he did it for personal gain and political interest. This isn't a case of silencing the voice of someone with a different view. It's punishing a lying idiot intent on doing harm to others to advance his own agenda.

who decides whats misinformation?
who decides how far off you have to be to be punished?

Maybe the people who told him this incorrect info had told him good info before.  maybe he really believed his source.
Can you 100% tell me he didn't really believe the info?  its not illegal to be stupid.

again, im not against the law suit.  im against the silencing.
