He's in a real jam now. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/07/business/infowars-app-alex-jones-apple-ban.html
Walled guardens allow for pressure to be used to censor. The internet was made to make this hard to do and over the last 20 years, government and industry has worked to centralize the internet and make it easier to control.
He has every right to run a website, use his millions to hire people to build it out, and dispense from that forum. Inversely, services whether corporate, group, or individuals shouldn't be required to support others in the name of the internet. Remember that people chose those walled gardens and can leave or create new ones, this is the freedom of the internet.
You’re correct but we’re slowly setting a precedent where we allow corporations to control our voice. Just because you don’t like what someone says isn’t a reason to censor it.
This guy is a classic example that "freedom of speech" must have its limitations. I can't believe that this troll victimized people who had already lost their children in school shootings. Republican party has reached the bottom.
Good f'ing riddance!
Bye asshole!!!
He made a ton of money already lol. Should have been fired from everything sooner
Finally, if we can do the same to everyone else I disagree with that’d be fantastic. Silence all dissonance!
Your liar is my disagreement, which is precisely why we need to move forward with silencing other idiots!
Just so we’re clear, we should be silencing people that don’t consistently state facts? Because then there’s people on my political side that would be banned too. I’m not sure we should do that.
Serious question: what did he ever say that was so bad as to make him banned from Apple, Twitter, etc? KKK groups, etc I can understand (but still disagree with). But this dude was just funny. What am I missing?
Meanwhile, Hamas has been encouraging exponentially more violence, yet they are unbanned!
Alex Jones is truly evil. It’s not even disputable except to his fanatical followers. Not shedding a tear for him.
I’m not an Alex Jones fan, but it seems weird that he is the one being targeted. There are plenty of other worse influencers flying under the radar
