Alex Jones and corporate censorship

I do not post on FB or access it

If the shoe were on the other foot and conservatives were excluding liberals you would not be singing the same tune

Yes its a private company and that counts for something

But censorship is never a healthy thing in a free society

 

Rule violating is bullshit. Farrakhan still smears whites and Jews with impunity on Facebook. This is about Democrat power politics. They are the ones who pressured social media giants in congressional testimony, specifically invoking Alex Jones and demanding something be done about him.

 

That's not relevant to anything. Louis Farrakhan believes God is a mixed-race man circling the earth in a giant UFO that on judgment day is going to launch smaller UFOs to nuke white people.

 

Zzzzz you're ignoring the timing and selectivity of the ban.

 

No crazier than what a lot of religious fundamentalists believe or claim to believe.

 

It's no so I say. If this is about "breaking rules," why did it come on the heels of Congressional Democrats squealing about Jones in congressional hearings regarding social media? Why THEN? Why not ban everyone that does dumb ****? Farrakhan, etc? They operate with impunity. This is selective enforcement of rules, and that means it's bullshit.

 

What other religious fundamentalists think God is going to nuke a race of people from space on Judgment Day? You're completely ignoring the blatant racism and antisemitism in NOI theology.

 

Thanks for agreeing with me about FB.

Now you are making false claims again. Shame on you.

Yes, it's a private company. Thanks again for agreeing with me.

Censorship is governmental. If a company does it, they don't have a right to keep customers. Take this forum; if it temp bans someone for violating the TOS, that person has a choice of returning or not. Others have a choice of staying or not. When it's government, we don't have as many choices as when choosing between social media platforms. Jones is free to start his own website, his own forums, his own social media platforms. He's worth $5M. If he really believes his own bullshit, he can spend most of it buying those things.

 

Government censorship is the worst

But private monoplies can suppress the free exchange of ideas also

Liberals are very insecure if they freightened by alex jones

 

I'm don't follow FB, so please post some examples. My advice to you is twofold: File a complaint and don't post on FB.

 

Obviously it is relevant. As for Farrakhan, I'll be happy to piss on his grave when he dies because he's a murderer. Aside from that, I don't worry about him.

 

Ahhhh, a conspiracy theory! Everyone knows I love those!

So who is behind this one? The Joos? The Marxists? China? Antifa? Please spill your beliefs.

 

Agreed.

While I agree about private monopolies since, in essence, they are all powerful like government, neither Facebook, Apple nor Spotify are monopolies. To claim they are is a falsehood.

Agreed about liberals, but I'd say the same about conservatives crapping their pants over Marxists and antifa.

 

Just posted a thread about social media hypocrisy.

 

No conspiracy theory. I stated it precisely. Mocking isn't a response. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to note the target and the timing.

 

He has all the social media, all the mainstream online bookstore access.

 

Coincidence triggered by the fact Jones is being sued by the Sandy Hook parents

 

You see compassion as fear?

It is compassion for the victims and the families that dictates we "Liberals" find the Sandy Hook hoax disgusting beyond measure

I remember when it was first touted and the many many threads on this board

It would not be hard to find who bought into this hideous and disgraceful pile of nastiness

 

Alex Jones is always being sued, it's known as conservatism. Besides, he helped Trump get elected, so they have to shut him up.

My daughter ran into someone who said he never watches Alex Jones, but was banned from twitter for saying that banning him was censorship. I also read the Australian anti-war journalist Caitlin Johnstone was banned for saying the world would be a better place if McCain died - and she's right, so what's going on?

Could it be the one world order freak George Soros? I read that he's investing heavily into the social media?

It isn't a coincidence, it is the sort of thing corporations do all the time. One acts, others follow suit. Probably been considering it for a while.

Anyway, see whatever you choose to. His views are as easy to access now as they were last week.

 

Yet he's banned for hate, not negligence. Would you recommend banning for negligence too?

 

ANTIFA are street thugs using violence and threatening to do even worse

It would be foolish to ignore them

As for Facebook the subscriber base is enormous and worldwide

If only liberals are allowed to speak it puts the truth out of reach for most people

 

Very few individuals think Sandyhook was a hoax

So you are working ypurself up over nothing and from a foreign country at that

 

As I said it would be easy enough to pull up the old threads......

 

That would accomplish nothing

Besides Sandyhook is in America not Australia so its really none of your business
