Facebook, Apple, YouTube and Spotify ban Infowars' Alex Jones

[dannno]

Are you alleging that Hillary Clinton and/or Bill killed the two boys found on the tracks?

With their own bare hands?? I have no idea. Doesn't matter. Involvement in murder is murder.

Trump did receive some tremendous political benefits to bombing an empty air base, as opposed to any of the other deadly plans he was presented with. Fortunately he was given a plan that was not intended to have any casualties. It would have been literally tens of thousands of times worse if Hillary was President.

That doesn't sound like what you said.

Alex Jones is one of the only people in the media who agrees with Ron Paul's non-interventionist foreign policy.

46D logic?

Well you wouldn't know it if your reason for posting here was disingenuous, but typically the reason people are against war is because of the thousands or more murders that occur. If the only thing that happened in war was that empty military airbases were bombed, it might not be preferable in most cases but I don't think you would see the same kind of moral outrage.

Does the bombing of 'empty' airbases for political profit and killing only children who were too stupid to live somewhere else count as non-interventionism?

Compared to what?

Compared to Hillary who would have waged an all out war over something like causing the death of hundreds of thousands and displacement of millions and would have already attempted to topple Assad?

In a technical sense, no, but in a more rational sense, yes.

Not compared to anything. It either is or is not.

Wrong. Everything is compared to something. This is life not a vacuum.

You didn't make a comparison between Alex Jones and Hillary. You stated an absolute.

We have yet to see the result of our diplomacy with Iran. It could end up like Syria if their regime gets protected by Russia, do you think the displaced millions will go to Europe? I wonder how they feel about all of this. In a pure technical sense Hillary is an unknown, there was practically enough information on Hillary leaked out and Republican opposition to impeach her. Tim Kaine would of also been complicit as well, so what would happen I don''t know, 3rd Obama term? President Paul Ryan?

Let's say, for example, Trump pulled a Ron Paul after the attacks. The media then attacked him viciously for it. They get a few Republicans to sign on to articles of impeachment, and along with Democrats were able to impeach him and put in place Mike Pence. Mike Pence proceeds to invade Syria, kill hundreds of thousands of people, displace millions, oust Assad.

Then yes, putting on a show, attacking an empty airbase in order to preserve your political power and then use that political power to push more non-interventionist policies and peace between nations - when the alternative is massive amounts of death and destruction - that is non-interventionist. It's not optimal, it's not pure.. but we don't live in an optimal nor pure world. In fact it is quite brutal. And we are a million times better off because the election went the way it did. There is no word twisting you can do to change that.

Yes, and I was correct. Alex Jones is one of the only people in the media who agrees with Ron Paul's non-interventionist foreign policy. If it were up to AJ, he would pull all the troops home from all over the world just like Ron Paul.

If you want to ruin that because of some opinion on an individual strategic show that Trump put on so that he would be able to reach more of his goals, when he is up against people who are trying to destroy the country, then you are an idiot.

Do you think your "inquisitiveness" is just a way to compensate for lack of normal life while being locked up in a mental institution?

Searches for the term “Infowars” skyrocketed on Google this week after numerous tech companies began purging Infowars content.
Analysis of Google Trends shows queries related to Infowars began rising significantly between the 5th and 6th of August.

Searches for the Infowars website rose 1,300 percent in the past 7 days while, interestingly enough, the term “Streisand effect” increased 2,150 percent during the same time period.

College applicants are being rejected for merely following the Alex Jones account on Twitter, a digital privacy expert has warned.
Bradley Shear, who runs the Shear on Social Media Law blog, claims one of his clients was rejected from a prestigious college after an admissions interviewer scoured the student’s social media account and found he followed Alex Jones on Twitter.

While one of my legal clients (a 17 year old teen) was being interviewed by one of the most competitive colleges in the country he was asked why he was following Alex Jones on Twitter. My client, a teenager expected to talk about his stellar grades, top test scores, amazing extracurricular activities and volunteer work, but the interviewer focused on who he was connecting with online. My client had never “liked” or re-tweeted any of Mr. Jones’ content. His alleged “transgression” was that he followed Mr. Jones on Twitter. That was it.
​

Shear researched the student’s social media account and found he was a supporter of Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders, whom Alex Jones certainly does not support.
Shear says he managed to satisfactorily resolve the student’s issue after speaking with the admissions director, who “didn’t want any negative publicity about this matter.”
The admissions office investigation into his client’s social media connections is a troubling sign universities are attempting to reshape society by discriminating against students based on political ideologies, Shear explains.

Apple, which removed all Alex Jones material from it’s iTunes and Podcasts platforms earlier this week as part of a coordinated big tech purge, has addressed the fact that the Infowars app is still available in the App store.
The company has been under intense lobbying, spearheaded by CNN, to remove the Infowars app in addition to the banning of all other content.

Apple and Google are still selling the InfoWars app, which contains some of the same type of content that both tech giants have pulled from elsewhere on their platforms https://t.co/zvtAEXEub6 pic.twitter.com/ObHWDzok8l

​

The app has shot to number one in the news charts, above the likes of CNN and BBC, in the wake of the digital shutdown of free speech by Apple, as well as Facebook, YouTube, Spotify and a host of other companies.


Apple admitted that it has not killed the Infowars app, despite intense pressure to do so, because it has not violated any terms of agreement.
“We strongly support all points of view being represented on the App Store, as long as the apps are respectful to users with differing opinions, and follow our clear guidelines, ensuring the App Store is a safe marketplace for all,” the company said in a statement.
However, Apple did note that it is monitoring the Infowars app, and issued a subtle threat that it could kill it any time it please.
“We continue to monitor apps for violations of our guidelines and if we find content that violates our guidelines and is harmful to users we will remove those apps from the store as we have done previously.” the statement reads.
It is not difficult to imagine Apple removing the app, given that it claimed the Infowars podcast material violated the company’s ‘hate speech guidelines,’ although it was never made clear exactly what part of the content did so.

The neoconservative Weekly Standard said Wednesday that Big Tech should ban more people and there’s “no reason” conservatives should be defending Alex Jones.
“I’m not even trolling when I say that we need more banning,” Jonathan Last said Wednesday on Twitter, linking to his column, “The Case For Banning Alex Jones.”

“In every online community where mods enforce reasonable standards of discourse, the community is better for it,” Last said.

Bill Kristol himself also tweeted out the article, adding, “Goodbye, Alex, and good riddance.”

Goodbye, Alex, and good riddance. @JVLast⁩ pulls no punches. https://t.co/SksrZtTcya

​

Last went on to say Facebook needs to ban even more people he doesn’t like:

Have you seen all of the conservatives asking “What about Farrakhan?” There are a ton of bad users out on the tech industry’s leading platforms. But saying that these platforms shouldn’t ban Alex Jones because they haven’t banned all of the bad actors is like saying that the DA shouldn’t prosecute one criminal because the police haven’t caught every other criminal.
The answer here is obvious: Tech companies shouldn’t give Jones a pass; they should get rid of the Farrakhans of the world, too. The perfect should not be the enemy of the good.
​

The Weekly Standard, which has been dubbed the “neocon bible,” was founded by William Kristol and Fred Barnes, the former of which said last year that “lazy, spoiled” white working class voters should be replaced with immigrants:




Last week, Kristol said “my fellow white men” are a “great disappointment” to him because of their conservative voting habits and said he’s hoping “women, minorities and young people” can “step up to save the republic.”

I’ve been looking at some polling crosstabs and I’ve got to say to my fellow white men over 55: You’re a great disappointment to me. On the other hand it seems fitting and consistent with the American story that women, minorities and young people now step up to save the republic.

​

Last’s column encouraging the right to stand down and be rolled over by Big Tech so Democrats can seize control of the country furthers Kristol’s goals.
Last’s call for more bans aligns perfectly with Democrat Senator Chris Murphy who said on Monday that the “survival of our democracy” depends on more sites like Infowars being banned.
