    Yea, a private business with their own rules and guidelines decided to enforce them and removed Infowars from their platform -- I guess that is communist to a Trump supporter, so be it.

    Question #1: Is Sandy Hook a hoax, yes or no?
    I don't want to hear any other excuses or attempts to say "Alex was just posing the question" -- none of that, a simple yes or no will suffice.

    Question #2: Is PizzaGate real? Yes or no

    Again, I don't want to hear anything about "Alex was just kidding" -- is the story real, yes or no

    Question #3: Who is stopping Alex Jones from creating his own platform?

    If you still have access to go to Alex's site to hear his daily delusions, what's the problem?
    Alex can also still sell you his fake supplements, hell, he can launch his own TV station as long as the free market supports it -- that is what capitalism is ain't it?

    Can you show video of Alex Jones saying Sandy Hook never happened?

    Can you show video of him saying Pizza Gate was real?

    Curious... Or are you trusting the word of others?

    Trump Sychophant for asking a question? Wtf is wrong with you?

    Now do you have anything else outside of two media matters splintered together clips?

    Now if all that is still true what rules did those comments break on facebook?

    Why does it matter what kook Alex Jones says, but it doesn't matter when 'respected', 'objective' mainstream media trash run with the "hands up, don't shoot" lie, or purposefully edit Zimmeraman's 911 call to make it appear he volunteered Trayvon's race, or attempt to attach the Aurora, Co. theater shooter to the Tea Parties....


    Facebook hasn't banned Farrakhan, a virulent racist and bigot. Twitter hasn't banned Sarah Jeong, a virulent racist and sexist (but did ban Candace Owens for mimicking Jeongs posts, but replacing "white people" with "jewish people" to make a point).

    you can pretend and defend all you want, but this is going to explode in the left's face....just like everything else the duplicitous scumbags have attempted for the better part of a decade.

    If all this is true? Did you not ask me to show you video of him saying what I told you he said -- and you still wonder if it is true?

    As for what rules did he break on these privately owned businesses -- ask them...if you don't like their decision, boycott them

    I have absolutely no regard for anyone who claims that Sandy Hook did not happen or was staged. I live 18-22 minute drive from Newtown Ct and I will remember what I was doing the minute I heard about Sandy Hook until the day I die just as I recall JFK assasination and 9-11.

    Anyone who claims it was fake is not human, they are the bacteria that lives on and eats fecal matter. Even worse than Russians.

    If it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck, and it quacks -- heavy heavy on the quack -- like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

    Good riddance.

    Unquestionable, the the global super rich should control all media outlets for their corporations at the expensive of the USA and Americans - while claiming the protect of "the press."

    The reason they are now buying up every remaining media outlet they don't already own is to block the government ever imposing anti-monopoly laws against them, while granting them exemption for all other laws as well.

    He blew it. If he also had called for the murder of police officers he'd have been ok with Facebook.

    I use YouTube a lot, especially their instructional videos, such has how to gut a game animal, how to field strip a firearm, etc.

    Also even more so for music.

    I would never and could never boycott them for any reason other than a virus.

    Censorship is very important when one is trying to control speech and thought. YouTube practices censorship because it wishes to control speech and thought.

    So many americans support censorship that it might be said we deserve censorship. We think as we are told.

    YouTube is not the public commons, last I checked -- its a private business

    If you want to compete, launch your own platform and compete -- isn't that what the free market is about?

    You can buy many books on bomb making, and even how to manufacture sarin gas. No problem.

    imo Jones has little appeal, and what appeal he has is to only a very few. But even if he had broad appeal he shouldn't be censored -- just as all the nuts who are interviewed on Coast to Coast radio shouldn't be censored.

    Yes, it's a private business and they call the shots. But think about this, cell phone companies are also private businesses, should they be able to deny service to those they disagree with? How about bakeries?

    I don't recall if this applies to you, but I remember a lot of people on this board crying a First Amendment foul when many of us were critical of the NFL kneelers while the left was citing their 1A rights. At least you agree the kneelers have no such rights (if the business owners decide they don't exist while the players are on their time and representing them)

    Also, if youtube continues to shut down voices they don't agree with then they're leaving a business opportunity for someone who won't.

    Jones can now do what plenty of others do, get his own server up and running and post his videos there. I'll admit I've never seen one of his videos before, but that's the way it goes.

    If true, then why ban what is acknowledged as tongue in cheek entertainment? If it is the equivalent of satire, why ban it? If it shows Jones to be a crackpot, why worry about it? Will they be going after Pro Wrestling next? We can rest assured they -won't- be going after and banning hateful anti-Trump propagandists like MSM show hosts.

    Regardless of what anyone thinks about Jones and his programming, this is the -best- way to enlarge his audience and give him some "cool factor" he may not have had. Do you think people won't want to see "that guy that got banned from FB/youtube?" and won't just pull it up elsewhere?

    The big question is why this right now 3 months before an important midterm? I know why, and agree with others. It's going to backfire. The only people who care about Alex Jones are TDS sufferers who get enraged by it. No one else gives a damn... until he gets censored. Now he's a "cause" instead of a farce.

    BRAVO! Another rake walked right into by the left.

    Technically of course, you are right. Yes, YouTube is a private company.

    So what does it mean when private companies practice censorship? Is it like when AT&Treason and other telecoms did Dubya's dirty work for him in intercepting emails and other privileged communications?

    Private industry doing government's dirty work, including censorship, smacks of fascism.

    An excellent point I had not considered. That fact makes the censorship all the more political. They wish to censor rational analysis of events.

    The mainstream media also censors Wolfgang Halbig for pretty much the same reasons--too much truth.

    There are a lot of con artists on youtube and face book. And if you're into such things, you can learn on youtube how to hack programs such as Photoshop, Windows, Office, etc in order to not pay for them. Taking the high road means more than singling out one specific person for no other reason than you don't like his views.

    Out of curiosity, how many Farrakahn videos are on youtube?

    We still have people who claim our government was behind 911.

    Farrakhan shouldn't be censored either. afaik it's outsiders who sneak into his gatherings and publish his orations. But if somebody is curious about Farrakhan they should be able to see what he's got, see for themselves.

    Me personally, these are private companies and they should have a right to refuse IMHO. Just like the baker should have a right to refuse if the cake in questions goes against his religious ethics.
