Hooray for censorship!
This guy is calling parents who lost their toddlers in a school shooting "actors". Is this really the hill you want to die on?
IDGAF. Nobody, not even ANTIFA, deserves to be deplatformed.
hahaha fucking liar
I don't even like Alex Jones. Doesn't mean I think he should be banned from every platform. Not going to bother arguing with you though.
Because you'll lose. Because you and I both know you'd be happy if The Young Turks got banned from YouTube. And that you'd come up with some bullshit alt right "logic" to try and rationalize it.

David Hogg is a crisis actor though.

As long as he did nothing illegal then I have more respect for any platform that doesn't ban him or Infowars. I may not care for Alex Jones but I do like when any site upholds the values of freedom of expression even though they aren't legally required to.

The seemingly coordinated banning seems like a bad idea, regardless, as it just gives the guy more reason to claim the establishment is oppressing him and his supporters.

I like to see people on the fringes pulled closer to the center, not forced further into the fringe. If it means having to deal with a partisan conspiratorial cook like Jones then so be it.

I'm not even following any other news since they banned him.

He openly bullshits though and calls his network a genuine news outlet, if he labelled himself as a comedy actor it would be fine.

gats · August 06, 2018, 06:44:12 PM

It's good they banned him tbh, he'll soon be irrelevant like that paedo Milo

You don't support freedom of speech in other words.

I may not agree with his practices but, regardless, I still value freedom of expression over protecting people from his ideas. People should be treated with the kind of basic respect that allows them to decide for themselves what ideas they choose to listen to and believe. I would never presume to say that, because I disagree with Alex Jones, other people should't be allowed to listen to what he says.

the jews did this

Solonoid · August 06, 2018, 07:16:29 PM

Genghis Khan · August 06, 2018, 07:18:45 PM

This is what a smart Jew sounds like.

Don’t see why this wasn’t done earlier unless Google’s just testing the waters to do this to other right-wing channels.

Pretty sure they opened Pandora's box with this. If they can shut down InfoWars, you're next.

You don't have to do anything. It's enough if they don't like you.
