Free Speech Icon Noam Chomsky Says Big Tech Was Wrong to Ban Infowars

• prisonplanet.com by Paul Joseph Watson

MIT Professor and free speech icon Noam Chomsky has responded to the no platforming of Alex Jones by asserting that Big Tech was wrong to ban Infowars.

This week, Apple, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify and numerous other Silicon Valley giants censored Infowars, with Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg personally taking the decision to do so in the case of Apple and Facebook.

Chomsky, who is internationally renowned as an authority on free speech issues, was asked by inventor and encryption expert Louis Buff Parry what his position was on Infowars being shut down by Big Tech.

Responding from his official MIT email address, Chomsky wrote, "What I've seen of what he does is outrageous, but unlike many civil libertarians here and especially in other countries, I don't think that the right way to deal with "hate speech" and crazed fabrications is to ban them; rather, to confront them, and to seek and confront the reasons why anyone pays a moment's attention to them."
