Alex Jones..

I can literally go on Youtube right now and access more right and left wing media than in the history of the World.

I fail to see how anyone can genuinely claim that we're approaching 1984 censorship levels when you can get your "news" from 1000's of sources instead of 4 channels and 10 news papers like in the 1980's

Unlike many here, I don't watch any political stuff on Youtube as it's mostly all echo chamber BS.

Unless you count Jonathan Pie, but that's humorous and attacks both sides (almost) equally
 
It's funny how CNN etc will call Trump a dictator for calling them fake news and the enemy of the people and create hysteria about him attacking the freedom of the press and yet when their fellow lefty social media chums who have massive online monopolies start actively censoring competitors/other media outlets they won't bat an eyelid. CNN and the lamestream are about as factual as Infowars at this point anyway.

Its a ******* private company, the president is a public office, are you dense?

If you think Youtube and Facebook are public domains, you better start paying for it chum.
 
Seems fascism and burning books is perfectly acceptable with some in this discussion, who they strongly believe they have the moral high ground and free speech be damned.

In USA all "private companies" which are also "social media" are designated by the government as public forums, and the First Amendment fully applies to them.

We are saying that they are such unique communication tools and powerful at influencing elections that maybe a bill of internet rights of sorts(as someone mentioned) is needed to monitor them.

As far as I can see there isn't a reason given for banning infowars, people claiming that AJ threatened to shoot Robert Mueller but all taken out of context(why hasn't he been arrested etc). This is blatant political favouritism and collusion. Funny how all 3 big platforms ban them at the same time.

Would love for him to be shut out of every outlet. I assume he’s already made enough money from nutters, but stopping him making more would be nice. So many scummy views, but the Sandy Hook stuff is obscene... he deserves zero sympathy.

.... This is a perfect example of what and why people are concerned....
 
Moses said:
Oh no, you won’t be able to fund a scumbag making money out of lying about dead kids in monetised content :(.

People make money doing far worse.

He’ll always be able to have a website will all his crap on... literally zero concerns about him being frozen out of the large social media sites, tbh. Go and donate to him there if lies about murdered kids float your boat.

So he's frozen out because of his views and opinions. So, when you are ostracized from making a living... How do we decide when to do the same to you?

I don't fund him actually but nice try at straw manning.

Interesting how people just instantly start ranting about lefty companies and conspiracies rather than the source of the problem himself.

No just if you going to be critical of far right (rightly so no pun intended) you need to do the same with the far left as well. Sadly its a lot easier to know when the right have gone over the line than the left.

If you feel there are far left youtube videos that violate community standards like Alex Jones then why not report them.

People have and they remain, as a left leaning organisation can be choosy on when to follow them or not.

Me personally Far right and left peeps no matter how ridiculous they are should remain, only when it breaks a law a video/post etc should be considered to be removed
 
Moses said:
If I started lying about dead kids/pumping out conspiracy theories that were clear, demonstrable lies/etc, I’m sure I’d be suspended from here fairly quickly!

He’s not being stopped from making a living doing it... certain companies have decided they don’t want to help enable that, though.

You're saying lying about dead kids, what exactly did he say? I haven't watched his videos, I don't subscribe to infowars or anything. I heard the podcast he did with Joe Rogan but he tends to start rambling and being incoherent so I don't watch it. Genuinely curious.

Maybe us "liberal lefties" should take the right-wing stance here. Hmn, let me try it. Here goes;

"Tough cheese? Lefty companies have banned a right-wing moron from their site? You know what. Tough. They can do what they want. It's their decision. Stop whining and get over it."

Ahhhh, that feels better. If the shoe was on the other foot that's exactly what the Trumpers would say. So let's just leave it at that eh?

Are these lefties doing this?

"Following that suspension, a Facebook spokesperson said: “More content from the same pages has been reported to us – upon review, we have taken it down for glorifying violence, which violates our graphic violence policy, and using dehumanising language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants, which violates our hate speech policies.”"

Or this on Youtube.

“All users agree to comply with our terms of service and community guidelines when they sign up to use YouTube. When users violate these policies repeatedly, like our policies against hate speech and harassment, or our terms prohibiting circumvention of our enforcement measures, we terminate their accounts.”

I suspect not.

The guy has been booted because he consistently violated their policies, which apply to everyone.

He said
Sandy Hook is a synthetic, completely fake, with actors, in my view, manufactured

Jumped straight to the last page knowing there has to be one or two who are sitting on the fence of defending him, and low and behold. The usual suspects as well.
