Fuck twitter, fuck Nike, fuck Facebook

And a few more votes for trump have just been delivered

That's what these progressive idiots don't understand. They more they try, the more we rise.

Oh. Well, in that case, fuck him and his cult anyway.

Your lack of education and un-American values is pathetic. You just became the very fascist you claim to hate by saying it's ok to silence those you disagree with. Your ideology is treasonous and hopefully one day you will be judged and punished for it.

 

[MikeMcMann]

Alex Jones may be a dufus, but that's not a good reason to ban him. Free Speech isn't Free Speech if you can just take it away.
And for those mocking Free Speech, let's see how funny you find it when YOU are the one who is silenced

Why do so many people have such a poor understanding what free speech is?

Alex is still free to say what he wants. No one has stopped that. He is not HOWEVER free to say whatever he wants on sherdog forum or other forums in contravention of their rules.

If sherdog forum decides they don't want conspiracy theory nonsense on this forum they are free to ban anyone who tries to whip it up. that IN NO WAY impacts the person banned free speech rights.

I cannot just walk into a movie theatre and start making a speech in front of the screen interrupting the movie. They can kick me out. But that is not impacting my right to free speech.

Free Speech does not mean you get to do it anywhere you want. It just means you can do it. And Jones can still say what he wants.

Go have a Snickers, kid

The Afghanistan and Iraqi Wars were though.

That has so much to do with 9/11 troofers!

You don't think private companies should be able to decide who gets to use their platform for free? Should the government also force the local newspapers to publish all the "Letters to the Editor" from the local nut jobs?

There is quite literally nothing stopping Alex Joned or any other Conservative billionaire from starting their own media outlet in the same way that Fox did with cable news.

What 'private company' receives 300 million of the taxpayer's dollars and has no competetion? It's like saying your phone company has the right to deny you service because you watch too much MSM propaganda. Kinda crazy when the shoe is on the other foot, huh?

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

feck Alex Jones, the only people that should spread hate speech and propaganda is Hollywood, and the msm.

What hate speech did Alex Jones spread? I have a standing 100 offer if anyone can find one case of Alex spreading hate speech anywhere on these platforms. Hate speech is a call to action for violence, and he never did that.

If you watch too much MSM, you will think he spreads hate speech and harassed Sandy Hook families. This whole thing is very complex and very political, it it is best to remember that MSM hoaxed three events that led to wars and caused the deaths of millions, so who is the real enemy-the guy that points out the criminals or the criminals?

Here's the problem, though. Twitter receives tax payer money by the millions. Why should conservative tax payers give money to a group that doesn't permit them to speak ?

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

You're getting popular news segments in Alex Jones youtube searches because there are many more viewers who care to watch a short segment reporting on some highlights of his spazzing out and the recent decision by popular websites to stop cooperating and promoting it than there is actually Alex Jones fans who want to listen to and thus support his infowars content. That's an inforwars being shitty content problem, not a CIA Youtube conspiracy algorithm. The videos are probably produced by MSM outlets because viewers are more likely to click thumbnails of hosts and sources they recognize and TV shows they can stream than other sources. Like how most people stream the most popular radio hit.

There are dozens of other successful online streaming sites besides Youtube. They aren't as big but still heavily trafficked. There's nothing stopping these sites or a site like infowars from becoming as huge as youtube except the amount of public interest in their content.

It doesn't matter why twitter banned him, they have the right to, but I'm guessing the bump in attention he's getting is linked to sandy hook denial and being associated with hosting that content is not a good business decision.

Not so, my friend. It used to be the most popular, relevant and most liked videos populated first. Now, it will be The Blaze, CNN, NBC, ABC, all the outlets that are owned by the same 5 mega corps that control all media. This happened around the same time Twitter & YouTube started shadow banning 600,000 alternative media voices and conservatives. Even CEO Jack Dorsey admitted they goofed big time.

It's more comfortable being down here tho:

lol. Joking?

If not you have just shown that you have no comprehension of communism along with no comprehension of free speech.

No the guys standing on street corners on benches yelling about Jesus or Government or any other cause have every right to speak about those causes in public. Free speech does NOT in any way give them the right to walk into your office and stand in the middle of the floor and do it or on to a restaurant floor. Or to interrupt movies or theatre and stand up front and do it for the hour or two the audience is in one place.

Only nuts and dumb folk think 'yes free speech means they get to do that'. They should be allowed to show up anywhere and anytime to deliver their message, whatever it is, because fee speech. Derp.

I’m sure you are one of those guys that’s just fine with Alex jones being banned because it doesn’t violate the first amendment but upset over Kaepernick not being allowed to kneel

 

[all caps]

Youtube and Twitter are some of the least censored platforms. You can literally upload and post anything, even extreme hate speech( which both sides would agree on) and get away with it.
Facebook and Google are a different story, so he did a lot to push them to that point.

Alex Jones used these platforms to spread disinformation but even that was accepted.
He also used these platforms to profit off tragedies. He convinced the paranoid gun fanatics that mass shootings are all fake to take their guns away. These people then harassed and threatened families of the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre, and other various shootings. So how's this not inciting hate and violence? Especially against innocent people who've already faced the worst.
Imagine how sick you'd have to be to target the grieving parents of Sandy Hook and profit off dead children.

I'm glad this disgusting pos was rightly banned and can now finally disappear for good without causing more pain to those people, and spreading more outrageous lies. Hopefully the parents sue him till he's broke.

Youre kidding me right? How has anything alex Jones done deemed worse than what the media did with David hogg and those kids? Profiting off of a school shooting and pushing for unamerican gun control. And you wanna complain about alex jones.

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

CNN did a great service for sane people everywhere by exposing Alex Jones.

CNN colluded with the Bush administration to lie to the American people about Iraq soldiers picking up new born babies from Incubators in Kuwait and throwing them on the floor. The result was it gained public support for the first Iraq war; millions were killed in that war and millions more died from the sanctions levied on them after the war.

Why do you trust anything that they say? You are in an abusive relationship and keep going back to them, even after they lie to you and cause millions of lives to be lost and trillions of dollars to be evaporated. Leave!

 

[DeJulez]

Hate speech is free speech. Millennials may figure this out one day, on their own, or have the Chinese explain it to them more tersely, and without feigned interest in nuance.

If Alex libeled people, and he did, we should sort that out in court. We're in a theater of picked cherries, right now.

If you are referencing his Twitter ban, then they have the right to ban anybody they want.
No ones stopping Alex from screaming out in the street, but every business has the right to deny service if they feel its needed and they are denying him service. Same way if you walked into a McDonalds and started spouting nonsense. They would kick you out.

The problem is, these people have not researched both sides, and all they can do is parrot lying MSM's talking points. They dont even know that the town hall was scripted and kids that had conservative values were not allowed in. It's just like how the CIA admittedly paid for acting lessons for the Nayirah testimony, but these fucking derp derp sheep don't have a clue what that is. 'Baaaaahhhhhh! Hate speech! Harassing Sandy Hook parents! Russian bot! Said lizard people run the planet! Ban him! Private companies!'. My blood pressure goes thru the roof talking to these dummies, and I voted for fucking Jill Stein! The left has been hi-jacked by retards. Operation fluoride in the water complete.

Sorry, FCC rules state that an ISP can throttle, block, or prioritize for any reason at all including ideology. Bet you wish you had Net Neutrality right about now.

Congratulations, you played yourself.

Damn, good point! That was such a brilliant idea- let's fuck ourselves in the asshole!

Actually it would be hilarious if ISPs throttled Jones site down to 56k LOL

It's why NN is so important. I loathe Alex Jones, but I believe in the principle that everyone should have access to the internet on a level plane as everyone else. Allowing ISPs to be content police is far more nefarious than Twitter doing it because you're effectively locking them out of the infrastructure. It's like a water provider just *deciding* that they don't like your hat and cutting off your water.

We tried telling people, but Ajit Pai and propaganda won the day. Hopefully some of the people who are irate about Alex Jones getting blocked will reconsider their opposition to Net Neutrality, because it can get far worse. Wait until hosting services see Infowars as being problematic. Twitter is just one platform, but if you get blocked upstream, you're beyond fucked.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Good riddance. That fat fuck needs to have another heart attack. Hate speech is not free speech.

"Hate" speach is free speach, as if it were not, anything the government wishes to censor simply gets branded hate speach and poof it's gone

However Twitter, being a private company and not a governmental one, has no legal obligation to protect any speech it doesn't want to.

And Alex Jones is not the type that deserves to be defended. Social media chose a good target to begin their slope towards blocking users they disagree with. Hope if they try it on a conservative voice who is actually respected there is enough outcry to push back

Wouldn't it be easy to just use a different domain(an overseas one that can't be bullied by the U.S. Government) to restart the website if they shut him out from the domain he is using?
