Who do you mean by "they'll"

He runs that site. Inforwars isn't going anywhere unless he decides to take it down himself for some reason.

Nah

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak for me.

I couldn't help but notice that the quote doesn't read

"First they came for the violence-inciting, divisive conspiracy theorists"

Clearly you lack the ability to understand what I'm saying so we're done here.

It's very hypocritical. Tons of threats and calls to violent action happen on twitter daily so in theory they could erase all of those people from the internet as well if they really wanted to. That's my point with what I said, it's pretty goddamn scary when you think about how much control these corporations have over us in our daily lives and even online.

Wrongthink can get you literally erased and cast out.

I mean, if they're just the crazy conspirists we say they are then why do we need to censor them

Why should I be able to read about someone wishing harmful things onto one group of people but nothing from that specific group of people in return?

There's a narrative here and it's being told through the domino effect of these bans

Me and my friend were on a road trip the other day and we wanted to listen to some Alex Jones shit to laugh our asses off. We couldnt find any anywhere now so we had to settle on song parodies and "top 10 batshit crazy things Alex Jones has said" type stuff.

That's the only negative thing about him not having a platform lol

Most people don't influence a significant amount of crazy people who will start to follow through on those threats. At some point there has to be accountability.

Literally doxxing the parents of a mass shooting, calling them crisis actors, saying that the kids never existed in spite of tons of evidence to the contrary

Alex Jones DESERVES so much worse than being blocked on mainstream social media. By all rights, he should be removed from society outright, and set adrift. And that's not even getting into his racism, lgbtphobia, or other conspiracy theories (the frogs) or the demonstrateable harm he's caused.

It's so weird that people see nothing wrong with this. There is nothing wrong with a person being banned from a platform because they break the rules, but this has clearly gone beyond that. You don't just get banned from six platforms in a month for vague rule violations that nobody can actually list. I hold no love for the guy, but this is setting a bad precedent for the future. Jones is clearly either insane or playing an insane character, but this kind of logic could easily be applied to people who are much more tame.

What makes you think I support that either? This country is in a really bad place right now where some many people believe you have to be in one camp or another. Eventually, that mindset allows true evil to erect real camps to place everyone they don't like into....

like four separate PRIVATE social media platforms banned him
FCC took him down for radical content

It's really not that hard to follow WHY its happening
it's also not an infringement upon freedom of speech (which is not "free," free, or unlimited)

Let me guess, next you'll claim the government should force Apple to host him and Twitter to unban him?
