I would join Spotify over this decision. Not that I care one whit for Alex Jones or Infowars, but I am in the camp that believes free speech is its own virtue, and adheres to the "No matter how strongly I disagree with what you say, I will fight and die for your right to say it" principle.

Seriously, when did people decide to start compromising on foundational principles like this?

And before you say it, yes I know that "Free Speech", vis-a-vis the 1st Amendment, is about what the government can or can't do w/r/t restricting speech. I think it goes without saying that I'm referring to the more general, colloquial usage of the term.
