The empire strikes back: Apple, Spotify, Facebook and Google/Youtube all purge Infowars/Alex Jones. Yes, Infowars has frequent nonsense, but also a state power critique. Which publisher in the world with millions of subscribers is next to be wiped out for cultural transgression?https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet/status/1026495668263837696 …

Unfortunately, this is not the start of it. It started about 11 years ago, around 2007 https://freeourinternet.org/campaigns/report-the-bans/ … & small timeline in

Facebook started right when the CIA program life.... Ended as a matter of fact the day after

#LifeLog... It makes you wonder how#Zuckerberg funded#Facebook when he didn't have a business plan until 2008 and hiring#SherylSandberg. 4 years no revenue?#Investors They'll also delete accounts at the request of the Gov't. This article screenshot is from the end of 2017.pic.twitter.com/ZW53Nzjv3b

Do I agree with Alex Jones? Never. Do I think people I don't agree with should be denied a platform to speak? No.
-
If someone doesn't want to allow you to yell utter nonsense in their yard, they are under no obligation to host you to do so. At all. He still has a platform. The government hasn't infringed upon his 1A rights. Several places have simply chosen to no longer host him. Oh well.
-
Sure. YouTube are entitled to ban who they want. I'm entitled to disagree with their decision, just like a disagree with them banning activists from left, like Palestinian activists.
-
You disagree with banning a platform for someone who has caused harassment to Sandy Hook victims? So badly that one family was forced to move 7 times because of his fans? https://youtu.be/mkWAjaVlhHc This is the free speech hill you want to die on? The one that causes explicit harm?
-
I haven't heard it, nor do I want to hear it. It sounds pretty disgusting. But banning his whole channel seems a bit extreme. Just ban the content that directly vilifies or threatens people, not the person entirely.
-
Why is it extreme? He’s inticing harassment and violence? Why should acts causing explicit harm be permitted on any platform? How is this a reasonable measure of free speech? Would you allow ISIS to preach in YouTube or is it just conservative commentators?
-
Obama, Bush, Rumsfield and Clinton told lies on CNN that led to the deaths of millions and we celebrate them as statesmen and women, so we should let some relatively harmless local nut tell lies without censure.
-
So because cancer exists we should keep aids around too? If you don't like lies getting a platform to spread, then support this decision. "Well it happens a lot" evades the real question of "should we allow it to happen?" The answer to that, I (and YT, and FB...) think, is no.

Why the historic power struggle for perception? MSM’s used to frame reality, not report news. MSM frames/blacklists ppl like JA or AJ, to keep a lid on reality. Sweeping censorship = loss of control. The Empire must win bk fence sitters or tipping point & epidemic outbreak occurs
-
You give media way too much credit here. It’s not complicated.
-
MSM shapes perception & that’s power. When soc media platforms arrived they became a tool not just for dispensing news, but for gauging pub opinion. Censorship began soon after. Why are soc med platforms (who sell our personal nfo) Nz biz of censorship?https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-harvard-study-cnn-nbc-trump-coverage-93-percent-negative/article/2623641 …
