InfoWars Ban: CNN, Democrats Successfully Lobby Big Tech To Censor Their Critics...

[iceberg]

I wouldn’t want that crap spoiling my brand either. These are private companies deciding not to do business. Sounds like capitalism.

then they are no longer an open social platform.

given this has global implications, facebook really doesn't want to go there.

Interesting, this is exactly why InfoWars was created in the first place. There is an Information War on, for your mind. I try to tell folks, no Communist/Democrat will ever stand for the Constitution. In fact, they despise it. This is just one more example of that. Don't like what they're saying? Have them banned. Hopefully this won't be allowed to stand. Gotta keep on fighting the bastards.


Big tech’s coordinated purge of InfoWars — which was hit by bans from Apple, Facebook, Spotify and YouTube in rapid succession — did not occur in a vacuum. On this issue, Silicon Valley bowed to CNN journalists and Democrat politicians who ceaselessly lobbied for the site to be censored.

It’s a sign of how the concentration of power in America has shifted from big government to big tech that politicians are now lobbying tech companies rather than the other way round, but that’s exactly what happened over the course of the past few months, as Democrats applied relentless pressure on Facebook and other Silicon Valley giants to censor InfoWars.

Chief among them was Democratic Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL), who demanded that a Facebook representative “explain” their decision not to ban InfoWars at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on social media censorship last month. Calling Jones as “well-known conspiracy theorist” whose “brand is bullying,” Deutch also demanded Google’s representative explain how many strikes it would take for a channel on Google-owned YouTube to be deleted...

Alex Jones is un-American.
If you support him then you must also believe that Sandy Hook was a hoax?
He's getting his ass sued and rightly so by those families who lost their kids.
Now THAT is American.

There's a good analogy. There's some wackball here who buys (and sells) that whole Sandy Hook Hoax song and dance. I put him on Ignore for that reason, because an asshat who would spit in the face of grieving parents disgusts me.

That doesn't mean I'm "censoring" the asshat selling the hoax. He still posts whatever diarrhea he posts; I just don't have to wade through it.

Jones is like Trump - First and foremost a snake oil salesman.
He worked overtime to get the boot - with increasingly hateful and violent rhetoric.
Now he will cash in - just like he does with everything else.
Apparently his fans love to be picked up by the feet and have the change shaken out of their pockets.

Exactly. Remember the angst from the mainstream about Trump setting up his own news organization to push conspiracy theories of why he lost to Hillary.

There's a market

Jones plays his fans like a fiddle - He doesn't believe very much of the crap he spews and laughs at them all the way to the bank.

Doesn't warrant being censored. There's a lot of information out there, i don't agree with. But i know it's vital we have full access to that information too. That's what our country is supposed to be about.

There is NO censorship at issue. At least buy a fucking cyberquarter and use an online dictionary before you bitch about "not enough free info."

We need full access to even the information we don't like. It gives us a much better chance of achieving informed opinions and beliefs. These types of bannings are Un-American, and bad for all of us in the end.

So your computer is incapable of surfing to InfoBoors.com?

Not to worry. Fox News or Sinclair will come to Alex's rescue and give him an hour each evening to spew his bile on *sound level eleven.

They just need to figure out a way to put spit-guards on his microphones.

Sounds exactly like what CNN an NBC do on a daily basis. Should they be censored and banned too?

They don’t have porn either. They are private businesses, they can choose to not associate with his filth.

Antifa and miss #CancelWhitePeople still going strong on those networks.

I sense an Assange moment.

I dunno. It seems to me he uses the tragedy of Sandy Hook to push an agenda of no firearm regulation. 30-40 years ago, limiting semiauto rifle mags might have been a positive, but I think it's useless now. Still he intentionally harms parents of dead children. I'll pray for an accident with a propane grill.

I'm rooting for spontaneous combustion - He's a prime candidate to go PooF one of these days.

You really shouldn't be cheering this. These types of bannings are taking us down a very slippery-slope.

 

[Dschrute3]

In a nutshell, they agreed to censor and ban anything Democrats don't like. Incredibly Un-American. Hopefully this will come back to bite em all bigtime.

As I noted before, and there's no way to wiggle out of this --- your quest has nothing to do with the content; you're just butthurt over the idea that not as many other people will see it.

That's THEIR business. Not yours.

and you're so hellbent on being right you don't see where you're wrong do you pull the liberal scream at people and call them names to fill the gaps left out from the lack of honesty.

Hey, I took the poster's fake point to the cleaners. Don't like it? Make a counterargument. Diaper rash isn't an argument. Alex Jones already has that gig.

​

I'm sure you'd be babbling incoherently about "lawsuits" to force content carriers to do your bidding if it were Pee Wee Herman getting the boot ---------- right?

We shouldn’t be happy about arbitrary censorship

We shouldn't be happy about arbitrary ignoring what the word "censorship" means.

Fixed it for ya.

Nobody has to do business with them.

 

[hazlnut]

Info Wars is not a 'critic'.

They do not engage in any meaningful journalistic endeavor or thoughtful critical analysis of policy. They are traders of fringe fantasy, low budget peddling of bullshit for a customer base.

It's for people addicted to impotent rage, hate, and paranoia. Some people are just happier wallowing in their own sickness.

If it was legal, maybe you could.

Any porn, any porn on You tube, I decry censorship!

This censorship craze isn't good for any of us. I know Democrats are cheering it, but it's very Un-American. There is an Information War on, for your mind. We should be allowed to access all information. Even the information we don't like. We can then decide for ourselves. Censorship is a very dangerous slippery-slope.

It's not un-american to own a business and make rules and if one doesn't play by the rules or one doesn't like what a customer said or did you can kick their ass out. You guys cheered the baker that wouldn't make a cake for a gay, it was his right.

They don’t have porn either. They are private businesses, they can choose to not associate with his filth.

and by doing that route they change fundamentally who they are and that puts them in a different category.

why people are so unwilling to see this is beyond me but you can deny it all you want. facebook appears to be doing, the left cheers, and the right just waits for the shit to fall down all over the left.

And if four companies that own 90% of the industry decide to start banning users for political views, there will be uprising.

That's what is going on right now, rightfully.
