    As a result of this successful pressure campaign, Facebook has assumed even greater powers: to bar access to the platform on the basis of objectionable political content. That's what people demanded: Please, Facebook, assert more dominance over public lifehttps://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/charliewarzel/facebook-removed-alex-jones-pages …

        All of which are examples of objectionable political content

        That's essentially the reason Facebook gives for the ban: "glorifying violence" and "using dehumanizing language." You can use whatever stronger words you want to denounce Jones, but that's what it boils down to: objectionable political content

        This is an issue that affects everybody, but the balance of negative and positive reactions will be predictably and mindlessly partisan.

        When did conspiracy theories, which are really just anti-government ideas, become hate speech?

        It hasn’t assumed new powers—it always had them. Perhaps it has newly exercised powers, but that is quite a different thing. We need to stop treating Facebook, Google et al as saviors or sovereigns—they’re private companies. We expect too much & too little of them simultaneously.

        Thus proving the whole premise of the title: Info Wars.

        It's not so clear cut. The fact that Jones has influence on the President gives him some measure of power. Call it political content if you like and I agree that should be protected, but hateful speech coupled with power is where we should draw the line.

        Maybe we should just get rid of Face Book altogether. Even though Infowars/ Alex Jones is crazy, the root of the problem is the mass surveillance powers of FB.

        Same powers they always had as a privately held corporation. Tracey does alarmism.
