I just noticed that Infowars was banned, from youtube and many other platforms. So obviously I am not an Alex Jones follower. But I used to look at it once in a while, because I try to get info from varied sources.
I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I do not think we should reject all conspiracy theories without even knowing anything about them. There usually is at least a tiny bit of truth even in crazy theories.
And I do believe there are forces trying to control all of us. This is not a conspiracy theory -- I don't think any one is consciously conspiring to take over the world. But there are powerful groups who will gladly take any additional power you want to hand them.
Youtube, Facebook, Google, etc., have great power over our information. And I'm sure there are political leaders who are happy to team up with them.
Alex Jones is a crazy maniac, but he did influence the Trump election, and he has been a serious political force, with great masses of followers.
Was Infowars shut down simply because it was a source of "fake news," and because it incited "hatred?" Or was it shut down because the big tech companies tend to bond with the Democrats? Overwhelmingly.
So where will all the Infowars followers go now to get their conspiracy theories? Will Alex Jones just give up? Will other anti-Democrat outlets be shut down also?
To the political elites, we are sheep to be herded. For our own benefit, of course! Before the internet it was much easier. Then heck broke lose and we got Infowars, etc. Have the political elites figured out how to bring back the good old days of censorship?
Infowars was kicked off many social media platforms because he accused the Sandy Hook victims of being a false flag. Infowars website is still up and nutters can still see their CT messiah there.
If anyone wanted to fight the Sandy Hook conspiracy theory, all they had to do is dig up evidence proving it's a BS theory. That should be easy. So why censor all of Infowars because of one CT?
I would not be at all surprised to find out there were big political forces involved. Alex Jones probably got Trump many millions of votes. And the Democrats don't want that to happen in 2020. So they called their big tech friends.
Yes, this is my own conspiracy theory. It's an easy way to stop Trump, which they are more than desperate to do.

Social media outlets are paid by ADVERTISERS. Just like anything else, some advetisers do not want to be associated with nutters like Infowars and requested they be banned.
Why would you automatically blame Democrats? Jones harasses ratpublicans too.
You know what? I think you're in cahoots with the elite to turn frogs gay!
That is exactly the point.That makes no sense. Advertisers can simply not advertise on outlets they don't like.

Even the gay frog CT had a grain of truth, by the way. Hormones in some river were causing frogs to be hermaphrodites.

Certain sites chose ad revenue over CTs.
:shrug:
They were 'censored' from just one conspiracy theory.
You don't seem aware of the subject.
Alex Jones would have been fun to punch out in a bar back in my rowdy days.
He's a pig.
One has freedom of speech.
No one has the right to use someone else's private platform for that speech.

Things are more complicated now. It's like if three giant companies owned all the roads in the world. And if one of those companies doesn't like you, you can't use any roads anywhere.

But if enough people were unhappy with this situation, then they could start a fourth company and start building their own roads and using them exclusively. Without people using their roads, the giant companies would start to shrink and the people's company would grow. The giant companies are still at the mercy of the people.
