Not all views deserve respect. Depending on what specific views they are talking about a lot of the ones circulating should not be tolerated.

I agree.

From the article:

>This month, the social network barred the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, a move that critics seized on as further evidence that the company harbors an anti-conservative bias.

Banning someone like Alex Jones is not an anti-conservative bias. It is an anti-asshole bias. No one is going to ban you for discussing tax policy.

I agree. My issue is a lot of views are subjective and based on unknowable gut feelings.

For example, is economic inequality primarily natural or due to injustices? these things don’t have knowable answers - with current technology.
