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

[Borillar]

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...

Well, at least you still have AM radio locked down. They throw out far right propaganda like a firehose 24/7, 365 a year.

Tell ya wut, I have no plans to vote for a Democrat ever again with this fuckery going on.


They can kiss the midterms goodbye.


I'm certain I'm not alone in seeing what's going on here.

You probably never have anyway.

What, you been looking over my secret ballots? Apparently not, ******.

Definitely not, dipshit.

 

[Dragonlady]

You’re missing the point, the hypocrisy of the left is on full display here

I got the point...I reject it.

This is free enterprise...period.

You just don't like whom they banned.

YouTube has banned LOTS of far lefties from it's site...TONS of them.

They banned him because Alex Jones disagrees with them, They will never tolerate anyone that disagrees with them. There’s nothing more cowardly than a progressive

You clearly do not watch YouTube much.

LOTS of people on YouTube post videos that knock/insult YouTube.


And, again, YouTube (which is owned by Google) can ban ANYONE THEY WANT. IT'S THEIR CORPORATION.

That is free enterprise.

You don't like it - don't use Google/YouTube.

That is your right as a consumer.

Folks, I'm not sure what to say here. There must be something going on in the democratic party, a revolution perhaps? So many are coming out in support of businesses exercising their rights to conduct operations as they see fit, as a private business.

Now we can move forward with a free market, that allows citizens to choose what they want, and private businesses to conduct business as they want, and the citizens can dictate which businesses thrive or fall, with their wallet.

Hardly. I've never implied any such thing and I use zero of those toys myself, having considered them an abject waste of time from the beginning. But since you draw the comparison, television as propaganda tool should certainly receive the same criticism, shouldn't it?

But ultimately that's up to the viewer, the Nosebooker, the Twit, to winnow his/her info from the chaff. I don't hold an opinion on whether Alex John Brinkley Jones should be on YouTube or not. It's not my site. That's up to YouTube, simple as that. Or Fecesbook or television, whatever the medium.

I've been pointing out all day that this butthurt whining is not about Jones' content at all, but rather about controlling how many people might see it. Their diapers are chafed because without YouTube (apparently) nobody will know the wondrous insight of a grown man who sells grunting noises and primal screams so he can set up his John Brinkley routine (which doesn't say a lot for the strength of Brinkl... uh, Jones' argument, does it). So ultimately it's not about Alex Jones' voice; it's about their control freak designs on somebody else's platform; dictating how they (YouTube et al) may be allowed to use their own site.

It's the flip side of the coin of the Sean Spicer kerfuffle last week, where Spicer threatened to sue the Associated Press for passing on --- not originating but passing on -- an existing story of an incident where Spicey got accused. In that case Spicey wanted to control how much of the public would NOT get to read the story; in this case Jones' sycophants want to control how much of the public DOES. And in each case the info is already readily available for anyone who seeks it.

If some clown joined this site and started posting paeans to necrophilia, the site could and probably would ban him, and it would be within its rights to do so. Just because they provide a platform for discussion doesn't mean they have to tolerate literally anything on it; it's their site. Same thing with YouTube.




WAY too long; didn't read, sorry. Even I don't get that longwinded....

But as far as 'they're coming for (whoever)" --- how come the same wags are on the exact opposite side with the NFL kneelers? Irony, that....

Translation: Pogo has TDS so bad, bad enough to become a fascist ******.

Funny how all your posts invariably lead to faggotry. Like roads leading to Rome.

uh, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Boring though. But I guess that's life when you have no salient thoughts and your only goal is to come out on top in the monthly post count.

Yeah, I guess you got tired of sucking dick years ago.

My point is that you are slyly supporting censorship. This is one of the worst days on the internet.

That RIPA/HIPA shit has nothing on this.

I've been asking this all day and have yet to get an affirmative answer ---

--- Is Alex Jones' website unreachable? Is his broadcast/podcast inaudible?

No?

Then how is it "censorship"? Do you believe YouTube, or Google, or USMB, *OWES* you a platform?
(Does the world OWE you a living?)

Do they not all employ a Terms of Service gate?

Has no one ever been banned from, or had a post deleted or edited by, this site? Or sites like it? And when they were, was that not the site exercising its authority to do so seeing as how they own it?

What are you, some kinda socialist?

^2 different posters, same bullshit message. Both members of The Hive.

Unfortunately, both fairly intelligent.

That's OK, the Hiveness will trip them up.

Stop pretending that all Alex Jones is doing is providing an alternative point of view. He’s lying and promoting hatred. That’s why he’s been banned from reasonable platforms.

A hard working family in Washington had their pizza restaurant shot up because of his lies. That restaurant is now closed.

The Sandy Hook families have gone through death threats and relentless harassment because of his lies. They’re suing.

This isn’t just a first amendment issue, this is a public safety issue. Jones is the guy screaming “Fire” in a crowded theatre, except there is no fire. He’s lying. His lies are hurting people and destroying their lives.

Why would anyone give this guy a platform to harm innocent people?

Was anyone shot?

A recurring theme.......
The more Liberty is lost.....the more gleeful the Left becomes

We were warned.....
All that was required for evil men to prevail....was for good men to do nothing more than complain about it

 

[WEATHER53]

The idea that these are private business and can do what they want is wrong This is not a product being consumed nor a place to visit and eat dinner, it’s speech- a rare and valuable thing that is hard to achieve freely. The push back is don’t mess with it

Yes. Alex Jones is the champion of righteousness. How delusional are you people?

I've had my comments taken off this board many times by moderators. I may have grumbled about it a bit, but at the end of the day, the site owners and their mods have the right to control whatever goes on this site. Get the **** over it.

This is not about Alex Jones. Two wrongs never make a right.
So you were upset when YOU were censored, and therefore are glad when others are.

If you were smart, you'd fight for the right of EVERYONE. The Left doesn't understand that concept and is assisting in the censorship of everyone.
You'll pay just a high a price as those you resent ultimately.

You are advocating for the government to tell companies how to run their businesses? Yikes...

 

[WEATHER53]

Mark Warner wants the government to take over
His reasoning is that citizens are too dumb to fend for themselves.. His “proof” is that Trump won via dummies being duped by Russians and society as a whole must be protected from that

This will be the hot topic tomorrow
Big brother government talking over us for our own good

By luck and the grace of God, no.

Jones knows the stuff he’s promoting isn’t true, hence his whole “I’m not crazy but I act like I am on the Internet” defence at his custody trial.

Jones isn’t a reporter. He’s just another right wing con man making money off the marks. He’s hurting real people with this crap.

You are advocating for the government to tell companies how to run their businesses? Yikes...

No, I'm not. These companies promote themselves as services for social interaction.
They have gained significant and substantial power and control over social discourse without any disclaimer they would later discriminate.

The government didn't censor anyone here. You are not able to understand the issue.

While the point you make has merit on a very basic level, this is much more complicated.

It is indeed not the exclusive fault of you leftists. The Right is guilty of apathy in continuing to patronize the very
institutions (Google, Facebook. Twitter etc) who spit on them and deny them equality.

It is that simple. It's their site. Their product. Their rules. Don't like it? Stay off Google, Youtube, stop using Apple products, etc.

It's the simplest thing in the goddamned world.

Does Google (or YouTube, Fecesbook, whoever) OWE Alex Jones a platform?

Do they not own their venues? Are they not therefore the arbiter of what they carry? Do they not require a TOS agreement as a condition of use?

And doesn't Alex Jones already have his own website and his own broadcast/podcast? Are they not operational?

[ptbw forever]

So i guess Democrat media outlets like CNN and NBC, can spew all the Fake News and hate they want. They're still deemed 'Credible News.' Tells you who's behind these bannings. What a sad scam.

People watching Fox news claiming other news is "fake" seem too dumb for words -- beyond help.

Democrats aren’t intelligent enough to analyze the news from a third party perspective.

 

[Marion Morrison]

You're mistaken if you think this stops with Alex Jones. Leftists will ruin the social medias within a couple weeks.

On the bright side, it will increase USMB membership.
