    Not the same. Tiger had a squeaky clean image and got punished when he made mistakes. Alex Jones has always been a lunatic. It's not like he suddenly changed course and went off the rails.
    Plus he's got 0 natties
    Off season natty is the best natty.


    Every quook says so.

    Given the rights stance on net neutrality and corporate pac money I find objecting to this to be laughable.

    Troomps are victims.

    They are spied upon. Abused by the deep state. Denied free speech. Taken advantage of by third world labor. Earned every penny of their Medicaid, Medicare and social security so don’t you dare touch the welfare they EARNED!1! Mexicans steal their jobs. A $25B useless wall is a solid investment to prevent unskilled, uneducated labor from denying them employment. China manipulates its currency. The EU is a national security threat so the US imposes tariffs. Farmers get $12B in welfare to fight the ensuing and hopeless trade war. While receiving massive subsidies, and paying little to no tax they insist they support the welfare state.

    Troomps.
    Have you had that that spot on your brain bucket looked at?

    It may be a tumor that governs your recall. Because it seems that you just Shit poast the same thing over and over. I know that your HSA is burnt. But it would be worth it to have it checked out anyway.

    Doesn’t the fact that he was able to be a lunatic for such a long time disprove your theory? People have been bitching about him for years. They’re not censoring speech. They’re doing damage control to protect their platforms from a bad actor hat violates their TOS and/or affects their user base, as is their right. Don’t like it? Use a different service. He’s still on twitter. He still has his own website.

    It was a coordinated effort by multiple large tech companies to shut him down at the same time. That's not censorship? Sure.....

    He’s widely known thanks to the reach of the aforementioned services that have recently banned him, among others.

    Sandy Hook was his big break out, at least as far as I’ve known. Maybe he was around before that? At least 6 years+ before he got banned.

    Who gives a shit if the censorship came 6 years later. It's still censorship. How long before leftists start burning books in the streets?

    I do not like that they were cooperating with authorities in other countries. However, they must abide by the laws of the jurisdictions in which they operate. I think it would have been better for Google to continue to sit out the Chinese market.

    I don’t know when his show started but he’s been around for over a decade. Making documentaries about the Bilderberg group and shit like that.

    They've shown no qualms whatsoever about conspiring with communist and other authoritarian governments to advance their policies. It's all about the dollar. They would have worked with Hitler's Germany. They certainly wouldn't bat an eyelash about aiding and abetting a government that is hostile to freedom here.

    So Alex Jones was so much of a danger that most people hadn’t heard of him until He was banned. But that’s Ok because Tommy doesn’t like him. I’ve heard his name before but never have listened or watched him. Obviously you have and are triggered to the point that you think it’s OK that platforms that paint themselves as being inclusive and non biased have banned him.

    This, Tommy is why you and your ilk is much more dangerous to our freedoms than a crackpot like Alex Jones.

    Because we know you’d be killing Facebook and YouTube now if Al Jazeera's Young Turks was blackballed by them.

    Online companies have to tweak the rules and features to do business in some countries in order to meet their laws. Otherwise, you don’t do business there. It’s pretty simple. I don’t love that they control the flow of info to the degree that they do, since they’ve been proven to take personal security not very seriously at all. But if Alex Jones is the hill you want to die on, I won’t stop you.

    You mean like the freedom to grieve your dead kid in peace? Yeah, he’s took that from those parents by spreading his bullshit and sicking his idiot followers on those people. Or the freedom to run your business as you choose? I’m already on the record saying banning him is dumb. But if you expect me to cry over it like you, you’ll be disappointed. Stop acting like everything is a watershed moment for democracy you fucking drama queen.

    Haven’t seen that here in this thread. Just a lot of defense of censoring by the 2 of the most widely viewed media platforms in the world.

    Let the free market decide. These corporations can run their companies however the hell see fit, and consumers can hit them where it hurts if they don't like how they're run.

    This is all just begging for @HeretoBeatmyChest to create a "completely uncensored" platform. The first six months will be glorious before #Access fucks us all again.
