    It sure does seem more and more like there could be a niche market for a conservative friendly social media platform.

    All in cahoots. The left whether in government or business are waging a war on constitutional rights when they don't agree with the opinion expressed. They only want their view expressed. Reminds me of Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot etc. but then they are the left.

    Facebook, Apple, et al can do whatever they want. All Jones has to do is publish a RSS feed of his shit.

    They are just joining the left in silencing free speech as much as possible. Who cares what Alex Jones says. Just what was so bad that they all decided to ban him AT THE SAME TIME. It ain't no coincidence.

    American politicians are fond of rallying Americans around Great Britain as an ally and a prime exponent of freedom and the free world. More and more, the “free” part is a lie.

    Laws against hate speech in England and Wales deny free speech. They attempt to delete free speech. Hate speech is criminal in England.
    If a person says or writes the words “I hate England” or “I hate the prime minister” or “I hate England’s participation in the Syrian War” or “I hate immigrants” or “I hate you” or “I hate Protestants” or perhaps even “I hate tigers”, they risk being arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to prison for as long as 7 years.

    Hate speech is a made up category, people should refuse to go along with even acknowledging this fraudulent category of speech, the more it becomes mainstream, the easier it will be for the government to pass hate speech laws. Freedom will dead here when that happens and it's going to happen unless folks start standing up for their rights and start pushing back. There will be less pain if its done now than if it has to be done later in a Civil War.

    The leftist media is complicit in pumping this agenda of censorship, institution of hate speech laws, etc, they should be threatened.

    I wonder how much extortion money companies like Google and Apple pay politicians to look the other way on anti-trust violations and monopoly activity.

    Silencing him only lends credence to his ridiculous conspiracy theories.

    First they came for InfoWars, and I said nothing...

    We actually agree.

    Let ALL the right wing dumbfucks say whatever they want. Let ALL the left wing dumbfucks say whatever they want. Use some goddamned common sense and intelligence to determine the truthiness of it.

    Banning is bullshit.

    This. If someone says some really stupid shit, public opinion, loss of page views etc. is punishment enough. Keep stupid ideas out in the open so there can be a dialogue and such ideas can be publicly trashed if they're shitty.

    Agree.

    Banning is the limp-wristed pussy move someone like Kim would make. Let fuckheads own their stupidity like obk does. We ? are just lucky that Derek oversees this shithole otherwise I would have just had to type sh!thole, which is fvcking stupid because everybody knows what I was saying anyway.

    Still, private property rights are a pretty big issue, too. And if some faggot was on here calling Derek a piece of shit all the time, I'd be fine with him banning that fucktard, and showing him the gates.

    It's almost like this issue isn't quite black and white. Just like most everything.
