YouTube, Apple and Facebook remove content from InfoWars and Alex Jones

Such a shame too. He only speaks the truth and tries to help...
 
I don't visit Infowars and don't care for Alex Jones, but it's always disturbing when sites are silenced due to their ideology. It may not be the government doing it, but it's still censorship.
 
I can't stand Jones, but I would caution folks about being too gleeful about censorship. It can come back and bite you later.

Private companies not carrying bull**** from Inforwars is not "silencing" him. He is free to keep his whacko webpage up all he wants. Do you complain about Hannity not giving far right liberals air time to explain their beliefs? Are you upset that Hannity is censoring liberals?

I know this was probably a mistake on your part, but I think I am the only far right liberal that I know of. Are there others??? :mrgreen:
 
These companies are cruising for a regulation bruising if they keep up their agenda. It would be a shame but maybe whats needed.

I hear anyone to the left of Hannity is now considered a far right liberal or at best a RINO.

So you are for forcing Hannity to carry liberal views on his show right? I mean, are you saying you support Hannity censoring liberals?

His sites were shut down due to violations of the terms of service.

I don't watch it, but I've seen it before and I think he has Liberal guests on doesn't he?

Btw, what is is with Liberals and their constant need for "forcing" things?
 
There is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from starting a video hosting site for lunatics like Alex Jones who repeatedly violate YouTube’s TOS and then try to circumvent it.
 
There is a certain irony with social media sites using their first amendment right to deny someone else their first amendment rights.

The ideological divide in America continues to grow in unhealthy ways.

There's nothing being forced, private companies are making decisions not to carry Alex Jones. You are the one complaining about it. I just used Hannity as a comparison of how you don't care if far right folks don't carry far left views on their shows. So why do you care what private companies carry then? You sure in the hell don't care about fairness as I have proven.

You do understand that the first amendment deals with the government not censoring and not private companies right? I think you need a civics lesson.

Weird, you just lied. I never said such a thing yet you tried to dishonestly project it onto me.

That is why Liberals fail....and will keep failing

Have a nice day!
