You're secretly a liberal who would prefer to see social media platforms regulated as quasi-public utilities.There are still certain Terms of Service that Jones would have an enormous amount of difficulty with, as he is often prone to making threats.
Lol just for the record, I stop short in agreeing that these companies are public utilities. However, each time a small company is created that allows a variety of content, a large corporation like google buys it up. The mass media knows that Independent Journalism is a threat to its monopoly on public opinion. Either they buy it, or get it shut down.
How is a private company forcing Jones off their privately owned social networking platforms for saying offensive **** any different than me kicking him out of my house for saying offensive ****?
How can you compare kicking someone out of your house for “saying offensive ****” to several multi billion dollar corporations with a monopoly on social media deplatforming an individual and his business for violations to a TOS that has been proven to be unequally enforced. Again with the strawman arguments—there is no similarity between the scenario you present here, and Infowars being kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, Itunes, LinkedIn, and his email service MailChimp. I think I may have missed a couple, and I’m sure Instagram and Twitter will eventually cave in to this SJW hysteria.
I'm not sure if I would have made the exact same decision, but this is not a first amendment or 1984 type argument.
Ten years worth of Infowar’s content disappeared down the memoryhole. What’s next? Apple doesn’t like his content so they deactivate his Iphone? When people who work for the Trump administration cannot conduct business as private citizens without harassment, there is a problem. When public officials—members of congress and senate-encourage the public to humiliate, refuse service and even incite mob mentality on members of President Trump’s administration and even Trump voters, there is a problem. When liberal dominated mass media conglomerates can deplatform for offensive content without a clear example of the actual violation in their TOS, there is a problem. The last “offense” cited against Alex Jones was his comments about transsexuals dressing up children like drag queens. He called it an abomination. And it is. The trans-community… or whatever its called threw a temper tantrum. CNN and other liberal networks have been trying to get Jones banned for months now.
Again, I ask: who is next?
Prove that those incidents were really similar to Jones' complete history of violations. Everyone is making the claim that "these others are just as bad but they aren't banned", yet cannot provide evidence that those entities, that the services that banned Jones see those incidents, videos, posts as "just as bad" but failed to do anything at all about them.
Conservatives have been shadow banned on a number of sites, including Twitter. In fact, the House Majority Leader is demanding that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey testify about the unfair censorship against conservatives. Several conservative members of congress were being shadow banned, and are speaking out about it. Not surprising, this isn’t being widely discussed. Twitter, of course, claimed it was a glitch. Sure it was…Facebook is also being questioned for similar issues. There have been multiple celebrities and verified accounts who have called for outright violence against President Trump and his supporters. Peter Fonda tweets he wants to 'rip Barron Trump from his mother' and put him in a 'cage with pedophiles' and he was not banned. News outlets have an obvious liberal bias. MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace asks “How do you resist the temptation to run up and wring Sarah Sanders’ neck?” Rep. Maxine Waters publicly calls on mobs to “turn on” Trump officials, to “harass” them, ensure they “they won’t be able to go to a restaurant, they won’t be able to stop at a gas station, they’re not going to be able to shop at a department store.” All these liberals will continue to have a platform on which to speak while people stupidly compare Alex Jones to a mass murderer.
Re: the bolded ...NO. They do NOT have the right to a platform. Nobody does.
Sheeple. Stand in line. Don’t speak unless spoken to… don’t be controversial, don’t be Offensive, and don’t saying anything that might be construed as racist or insert-o-phobia. If you’re for border security: RACIST! If you are against mass migration: ISLAMOPHOBIC! Right..got it. No one has a right to express themselves, especially now, if their opinion is not socially acceptable, and the overwhelming majority of social media is liberal bias. Conservatives should just shut up, sit down and let the globalists control public opinion. I totally get what you are saying. Good to know.
