DLive: It's Over- YouTube Bans Alex Jones
It's Over- YouTube Bans Alex Jones
--YouTube completely bans Alex Jones' Infowars channel after Spotify, Facebook, and iTunes started taking more aggressive action in removing his content
What do you think about this decision?
My video is at DLive
He can come over to DTube and spout is craziness there, I guess. Why do the big socials not trust their customers to figure out that Jones is a nutjob? Seems really paternalistic.
Not surprising. Both sides are wrong. Jones is a nutcase, but the socials shouldn't ban speech.
Totally agree, David. If it's legal lets let him have Freedom of Speech. Hopefully Steemit will be a home for Alex !
Got it!
Alex Jones is a shock Jock, a very successful one at that. He is his very own multi-million dollar mouthpiece and so fits into the post truth world very well. Banning him, like pot and gambling just make him more interesting, beguiling and attractive. uhhh / doh. Some of his output ranges from challenging to disgraceful to downright deranged. To suggest that Sandy Hook was a leftwing plot to help bring in gun control is so wrong in so many ways that it beggars belief (for example.) If he wants to spout let him, it often makes his opinions seem farcical, especially when he gets all red faced and shouty.
His meltdown when /b/ raided his live show was hilarious. He thought they were sent by the feds.
Given you weren't exactly the most favorable to Brianna Wu, it's only a matter of time before they come after you, too.
To be fair, I think your coverage of #gamergate was some of the most fair out there. You didn't give anyone a pass. You did what Chris Matthews doesn't: play hardball. Makes me glad you're on here, you're not going to have to worry about being silenced.
Hard to imagine how an interview from 4 years ago would cause a problem now
Gunn's tweets were older, never mind that he apologized for them years ago. It's the nature of our online society.

Good riddance
