Alex Jones..

Alex Jones was one of the most popular channels though, so I guess it's ok until you become too big?

There's no such thing as 'too big' on social media. PewDiePie has 64 million subscribers, and you don't see him losing his channel.

Social media companies lose serious amounts of revenue when they kill a big channel. It's not a decision taken lightly.
 
If you think a virtual monopoly shouldn't be legislated differently to a single manned bakery than lord have mercy upon you.

I do, but you're missing the point.

When the virtual monopoly is providing a non-essential entertainment service like social media and users cannot use it without first agreeing to the terms of service, they have no grounds for claiming that they should be permitted to break those terms with impunity.
 
The common thread among deleted YouTube channels is not 'right wing', but 'fake news.' YouTube has removed channels notorious for spreading conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, quackery, etc. from both ends of the political spectrum.

Aren't you the one who's always posting those fake images with the red writing? Pretty sure half of those are just complete BS and fake.

Not any more. Ad revenues are at an all time low. That's why YouTube has suddenly gone premium subscription. There's a point where ads stop being worth more than a subscription, that point has been reached and that's why the YT subscription has been unlocked.
 
Also PewDiePie is corrupting youths. There are videos on youtube KIDS designed to implant violent thoughts and actions into babies and children.
 
Most politicians do, bunch of philistines, hypocrites, hucksters, liars and cheats and they do it for longer, with a smile while they stab their electorate in the face several times a day.

So yes i believe a man can shovel crap into a microphone for 20 years and get away with it, he can do whatever he likes, that doesnt mean Youtube needs to provide it for him.

Well I suppose you would have to debate him personally on air let people decide who's more credible. That would be interesting to see.
 
You don't because YouTube don't censor dumb stuff just as this forum doesn't censor dumb stuff else posts like this would be deleted. BS posts aren't censored, and flat earthers aren't either, and neither was Alex for spouting dumb stuff.

Have you even tried to understand what has happened here before feeling like you can have an opinion on this? How you can compare flat earthers with Alex Jones shows a total lack of understanding and frankly it's embarrassing and only going to strengthen everyone's belief that those who support Alex Jones aren't that bright.

If you like his opinion who has stopped you from going to go hear it? Not a single person has. You however expect to be able to force someone else to make it easy for you to listen to him. Thankfully these companies don't agree that you can force them to host stuff just because you like it and they ignore their own terms of use.

Why don't you continue to listen to his rubbish the many ways you can continue to listen to it?

Alex Jones got too big, he influenced too many people on the wrong political spectrum and helped get Trump into the white house. Mid terms are coming up, how convenient.

Synchronised take down of many of his social media accounts. It was corroborated and not individually violating each social media site on their own grounds. Just admit you are fine that people with different opinions are being shut down.

Yes Alex Jones did get carried away with some things. But to censor him is very wrong. He does research lots of subjects and it was interesting to get his slant on things.

I trusted him over the Syria crisis than UK mainstream media for example.

You don't see flat earthers being platformed for spouting complete BS. And it would also be wrong to do so.
He hasn't been censored, he can still say whatever he likes(until he goes bankrupt after the Sandyhook parents sue him for every penny he has anyway) he Just can't do it on someone else's platform like Facebook or Youtube. Just like if you went into someone's office with a megaphone and started shouting that they are paedophile restaurant owners or crisis actors pretending their kids were massacred in order to enact sweeping gun control and you get asked to leave by security or the police if you refuse to do so.

but how else will I know if the frogs are being turned gay if Alex Jones doesn't tell me?

Apparently Jones' lawyers are very confident of winning all suits. Not exactly sure how they will argue it. A combination of the First Amendment and fine picking what he has said, for example he could have said, 'this looks dodgy, something doesn't look right, they look like child actors'. Different from saying, 'they are definitely child actors' etc. So possibly a long case after all dialogue is picked over.

As was posted in a previous video but me, because of the way YT is run, he doesn't actually have editorial responsibility for what he says and broadcasts as YT don't have this either. This is partly why YT have banned him because they are the ones who should really be getting sued here. Another case for him to argue. So overall he has many angles to fight with.

Best case scenario is a landmark ruling forcing YT to take full legal responsibility for all content on their site, essentially meaning it was would possibly have to close down as so much content would have to be removed. It's basically a wasteland anything goes lawless place of content atm and their judgement day is coming and they are not happy about it. Jones has possibly played a genius hand right from the beginning forcing the suits and ultimately forcing YT to change their policies and hence not dominate in favour of the democrats.

Why would parents sue anyway apart from financial gain. Really think about it what gain would they get by bankrupting Alex Jones other than money.

Good luck with that, he deserves everything he has coming to him. Jones posts on multiple sites including his own, so Youtube is not the one ultimately responsible and Jones absolutely does have editorial control over what he does and doesn't say on youtube's platform just like every other channel, and Youtube has every right to exclude anyone from their service and also to demonetize any videos they produce, and he is being sued among other things because of the massive pain and very real suffering he has added to for the parents of murdered kids, some have even had to move 4 or 5 times from their homes because of Jones's acolytes constantly harassing them making out they're the ones in the wrong for daring to send their kids to school one day and for them not to come home.

Jones is Scum and if money helps those parents in any way in moving on with their lives then I have no problem with it, at the very least it will stop Jones from pouring more salt on very raw wounds.

Because that's your only option to get someone to shut the **** up in America.

You like Trump, why did he sue so many people if he's a billionaire?

Well you could be right but show me a Trump lawsuit for a similar accusation i.e causing pain or distress. Afaik his lawsuits involve money or ownership disputes

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/donald-trump-loses-libel-lawsuit-232923

A New Jersey appeals court has affirmed a lower court's ruling to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by Donald Trump against a book author who claimed the real estate magnate/reality TV star isn't really a billionaire.

In a ruling issued on Wednesday, the appeals court affirms that Trump hasn't demonstrated that author Timothy O’Brien committed "actual malice" by citing three unnamed sources who estimated the net worth of The Apprentice star to be between $150 million and $250 million.

Trump filed the $5 billion lawsuit in 2009 over O'Brien's book, TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald. The lawsuit was rejected in 2009 by a New Jersey superior judge. Trump then appealed the judgment on the theory that relying on anonymous sources could rise to the actual malice standard needed for public figures to prevail in a libel suit.

But a New Jersey appeals court doesn't see the logic here. According to the decision:

"There were no significant internal inconsistencies in the information provided by the confidential sources, nor was there 'reliable' information that contradicted their reports, so as to provide evidence of actual malice. Nothing suggests that O'Brien was subjectively aware of the falsity of his source's figures or that he had actual doubts as to the information's accuracy."

A moral victory over a man who seeks to, at the very least, imply that the horrendous ordeal your child and you as parents have been forced to go through was in fact a massive scam, sullying the memory of your kid and implying that you as a grieving parent are in fact a liar complicit in duping the American public?

Forcing Jones to take responsibility for his actions and face up to the fact that he must bear some responsibility for the abuse and threats these people have received from the more rabid of his followers. Were he a real journalist he would have considered this before posting.

Ensuring a public denouncement of his views, allowing the debate around the shooting and its causes to continue without obfuscation therefore increasing the chances of a positive change being made to reduce the likelihood of this happening again.

Forcing some kind of discomfort, monetary, reputational or otherwise on a man who, seemingly only for his own personal gain, has dragged your reputation, and that of your dead child through the mud.

Forcing a formal and public retraction of his position.

General vindication.

Were I in their position I would consider legal action too, and it wouldn't be the money motivating me.
