Good for Twitter. The key takeaway here is the stance that "Twitter should not be the arbiter of truth" -- if this particular account doesn't violate Twitter policy (based on what I see on his feed, it all looks pretty benign), Twitter is right to not jump on the bandwagon of "let's try to ban this guy from the internet".
It's ironic, impressive, and very sad, that so many in tech are frothing at the mouth as they implore @jack, leader of the centralized speech platform (on the Internet, that decentralized miracle) to apply censorship to a guy with off-kilter ideas.
I cannot stand Alex Jones, by the way. So I simply don't listen to his bullshit.
