      Twitter said it would have taken action against Alex Jones/InfoWars had the content that got them in trouble w/Facebook & YouTube been posted on Twitter. But all of the content that initially led to YouTube/FB taking action is, in fact, posted to Twitterhttps://money.cnn.com/2018/08/09/media/twitter-infowars-alex-jones/index.html …

      A CNN review of InfoWars' and Jones' Twitter accounts found promotion of Sandy Hook / Parkland conspiracies, attacks on individuals based on their gender identity & religion, targeted harassment, videos glorifying violence, and more cc: @jackhttps://money.cnn.com/2018/08/09/media/twitter-infowars-alex-jones/index.html …

      I told Twitter Wednesday morning content that prompted other tech companies to take action against InfoWars/Jones was on Twitter. A spox declined to say if Twitter would review. Then @delbius suggested later that such content wasn't on Twitter? Perplexing. https://money.cnn.com/2018/08/09/media/twitter-infowars-alex-jones/index.html …pic.twitter.com/E1cPB0mkvc

          What’s perplexing is why the media, and @CNN in particular, are acting as the terms-of-service police in this particular case? Why so much energy expended on ensuring that Alex Jones is scrubbed from the Internet when there are anti-Semites like @LouisFarrakhan who get a pass?

          Let's get real. Alex Jones isn't going to get banned from Twitter because out of consistency they'd also have to ban Donald Trump for engaging the same speech. Banning Donald Trump would gravely harm Twitter's relevancy as a social media platform and cripple its revenue stream.

          Any one who promotes the absurd conspiracy theory that Hillary lost because Russia rather than because she was a horrible candidate should be banned.

          Are you a reporter or an activist? If you think you are the former, why are you running around like a child telling the teacher about the bad boy sitting behind you? What an awful way to make a living.

          Maybe because @jack said he needed journalists to do exactly that?

          So journalists are allowing private companies to make editorial decisions? The media should be independent, not lackeys for a company unable to enforce its own policies.
