    Even creepier, these big tech companies all acted in unison, apparently together, to ban Alex Jones at the same time. Nothing to see here, move along...

    Just like when all of Tiger’s sponsors dropped him around the same time. #Conspiracy
    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.
    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.
    What is the story with this dude. I never heard of him until Trump got elected


    Isn't he just a tin foil guy? How is he so widely known
    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.
    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.
    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.
    On the record that banning him is dumb???

    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.


    Your dodge, deflect and minimize game is skrong though.

    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.

    If they move from a platform to a news organization libel cones into play for the shit on the platform

    “That being said, banning him is dumb”
