Less than one week after numerous social media platforms, including Facebook and Apple, either banned or suspended right-wing radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Connecticut’s legal community is divided on whether that was the right decision. Some also expressed concern that banning Jones could lead to a slippery slope for free speech.

All of those the Connecticut Law Tribune reached out to agree Jones, who among other things said the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, has said abhorrent things. But they differ on what barring him from social media could mean.
