Have just banned Alex Jones. I don't much care for Alex Jones as a personality. He's an egomaniac and talks a lot of crap in my honest opinion. Though he's sometimes correct on certain points and his platform has welcomed guests I do have time for when the mainstream media has all but blacklisted them for speaking their conscience.
This is a dangerous precedent and conservatives, libertarians, free speech advocates, and just plain independents are under attack.
We are on the verge of a purge.
I'm no longer going to use these companies for anything now.
I'd rather use duckduckgo and a safe purchased email service. I'll never buy another Android or Apple phone. Social media companies can continue not having me registered with them.
I've tuned out from so much over the last 10 years. Everything from terrestrial tv broadcasts to having the radio on in the car. Obviously I will have to go further and get satellite service and a decent shortwave base station.
I resent what's happening to society at the hands of emboldened progtards and it's time to do what I can to punish them in my small little ways.
I encourage all of you to do what you can to punish them. This crap shouldn't be happening in a free society.
Fck them! acc_devil
Although I am no fan of his (I'm the last guy that would buy into conspiracy theories), this does seem a little over the top, especially considering the fact that they all seemed to turf him at around the same time.

I agree completely. They're trying to decide what we can watch, listen to, and read. It's a declaration of war.

They've been doing that since the beginning of media, but it seems lately they've been taking it to the next level.
However, as long as you publicly hate whites, especially straight white males, they probably have a job opening for you!
About time you caught up.
I've been using DuckDuckGo for over a year and won't use anything Google. How can Apple or Spotify ban him?
OK. Just saw it on the news.
His podcasts were pulled down from Apple and Spotify.

I used it years ago but hated it. No choice now.
DuckDuckGo is fine ... but moot on a large scale as the problem here is that most people use the other ones listed and will continue to do so
As previously said, this guy is a loser but that is not the point ... the point is censorship of ALL not prog
I just DuckDucked "anti progressive websites" and results were mixed some . . many sites should not have shown up ... "Liberal Blogs | List of Progressive News and Opinion Websites / The Best Liberal Blogs Online " in #2 slot in fact
3rd slot = How to Win a Fight with a Conservative, By Daniel Kurtzman. Research the cause, know your enemy. Links to other sites.
DuckDuck ain't perfect...but it ain't Google.
I wish I could disconnect from Facebook. Too many family members to communicate with.
Ya. I was not knocking it. It helps actual users. Merely saying it won't effect the overall fake news and especially censorship
Not yet...but surely the message is getting across that these monopolies do not exist in anyone's interest but their own.
I'm Not a big fan of Alex Jones, but banning? As if there wasn't already enough out there, this is more leftist tyranny.

As I said in another thread, I have no time for Alex Jones' nonsense. But, we should all be troubled by the actions of those that take away his right to spew his nonsense.

yep that is the reason, also he is not highly popular with the right, so they figure he will be easy for their FIRST target to take down
that way people are desensitized when more popular targets are taken down
this is prognazism in motion, courtesy of the American left, we are witnessing the push to convert a democracy into a totalitarian state right in front of our eyes.

BTW lets not forget the backdrop for this --Alex Jone gets taken down for "hate speech"---just a couple days after the RACIST New York Times hires a tech blogger who tweeted that she wants whites exterminated.

Jones conspiracy theories are dumb and he will put out things that are not true deliberately (like the las vegas shooter having antifa paraphernalia). IMO I think he actually hurts the antiprog cause. But I don't think anybody should be banned from speaking. Not Louis Farrakhan, not black lives matter, not Alex Jones, nobody.
Things are accelerating rapidly. for the last few years we've all been following the prog attacks on free speech, the inferiorization of whites, the attempts to win elections by cramming illegals into America and Muslims into Europe, and the violence of the trump hating fascists. It seems like these things are all picking up speed. things will only get worse unless they are stopped.

In years past I payed attention to politics but I never thought the country was coming apart. But I definitely do now. I think it started during the Obama years, especially the second half. And then during, and especially after the election of trump, the left has gone full out Nazi/Stalin looney tunes. They are a serious danger to our freedom and they are only getting worse.
BTW Here's mark Steyn, canadian pundit, on the left becoming more and more extreme in America.

This is a turning point for our nation. Will you rally behind the principles of free speech, or will you concede to having your ability to access new ideas and information restricted and controlled by those who believe you cannot think for yourself?
If we allow this level of censorship to continue, how long before it becomes normalized?
How long before it's not Alex Jones and Infowars being shut down on major platforms, but any ideology that disagrees with the establishment status quo? We must rally behind the principles that founded this great nation, and not allow deep censorship to become normalized and accepted.

And that really is a lot.
Then again, never forget that these are private entities, and they can make their own rules as they go along. The media always has.
What is really problematic, in my view, is publicly funded entities like the CBC, which take on the same left-wing slant, but to the tune of one BILLION dollars per year of taxpayers money.
Private entity does what it wants, and always has, but we should really be asking why our taxes pay for that same slant...

Alex Jones is/was almost certainly controlled opposition, he gives out a sprinkle of truth to the masses to satisfy their curiosity and then spouts a load of bs to send them up the garden path. Naturally he's extremely hostile towards those who expose the J's, did you watch his interview with David Duke? :laugh:
It is odd that he's been pulled considering that he is on the tamer side of the alt right. It seems like a case of the far left, which let's be honest, Google, Youtube etc is no doubt choc full with closet Commies, flexing their collective muscle and doing what the left does best, teaming up to oppose and freeze out anything they don't like.
I have no doubt he'll be back, probably with more listeners and a bigger fanbase than ever.

Then again, never forget that these are private entities, and they can make their own rules as they go along. The media always has.
What is really problematic, in my view, is publicly funded entities like the CBC, which take on the same left-wing slant, but to the tune of one BILLION dollars per year of taxpayers money.
Private entity does what it wants, and always has, but we should really be asking why our taxes pay for that same slant...
It's the same with the BBC in the UK, the tax payer funds their far left propaganda under the guise of the license fee.
It's one of the worst legalised scams in this country, and believe me, there are plenty....

Whether any speaker is right or not on occasion, the right to speak is what's at stake today
Alex Jones is just the first of many to come. There will be more.
The old school liberal view was "If we don't believe in freedom of speech for people we despise, then we don't believe in it at all" -Noam Chomsky
the new leftist prognazi view is--"if you disagree with us we will try to shut you up by any means necessary"
It has never been more clear--Prognazis are the enemy of free speech. Other than perhaps the right to vote, freedom of speech is the most important right separating democracy from totalitarian dictatorship, which is exactly where we are headed if these people get their way.

This is strange, as I thought Alex was ex CIA and was merely giving some truths while trying to disinfo the public.
But if not, this is NOT good at all! I believe last year is when I was noticing more and more taken off google that I once had no problem finding. All this was after Trump got elected, and they wanted to cut off the public's access to truths, since he won.
Alex Jones is/was almost certainly controlled opposition, he gives out a sprinkle of truth to the masses to satisfy their curiosity and then spouts a load of bs to send them up the garden path. Naturally he's extremely hostile towards those who expose the J's, did you watch his interview with David Duke? :laugh:

Exactly, I knew you would know about Alex like myself lol.
The only thing I can think, is they are trying to rile up both sides anyway they can. Its not happening fast enough for them. Censoring him is a ploy to anger the right into doing something.
I am pleasantly surprised to see just how many activists you guys have on the political right, some of which are elbowing their way into the mainstream. Some of course are clearly controlled opposition, but many don't appear to be. I've been following a few who even name and shame those who we aren't allowed to criticise! It's very encouraging stuff...... Unfortunately though here in England we aren't making anywhere near as much progress. The best we have are Kosher nationalists and obvious state plants. Shameful to be honest, especially when the US and certain European countries are experiencing a potential nationalist revival.
You've got a couple of firebrands. There's a female that kicks leftard nuts fairly hard.
Katie Hopkins? Nope, she's another Israel lover who obsesses over Islam and refuses to address anything else.
I have looked and still not found what the specific example of "heat speech" alex Jones was supposed to have said that got him banned.

There needs to be a large social media alternative that isn't afraid of unpopular opinions. But, if something like that existed, it wouldn't be long before the others united to bring it down.
Democracy was not designed for social media.

That's the one.
She has plums, though, I give her that.

Freud pointed me at Gab (www.gab.ai) which is a reaction to the left led attempt at censorship. Open speech is welcomed from all sides, on all subjects. It is growing rapidly, seemingly being populated by those who are abandoning the leftist platforms. It MIGHT be a new paradigm in open discussion via the internet. Whilst censorship is limited to keeping discussion within legal boundaries, and there is no advertising (to avoid corporate influence) there IS a cost for full membership.
Personally, I think it may well represent the future. We may have to pay for open, unrestricted discussion (its not a lot), but it removes vested interests from control. It must be doing something right, because Microsoft apparently attempted to deplatform it (it runs on Microsoft Azure). If they can't stop the software, they now try to remove the distribution service.
Its existence seems to suggest that the future will demand abandonment of corporate entanglement at every level.
Now they go after Proud Boys? That is quite extreme also.

Thanks I appreciate the info.
I don't do twitter, and I only use facebook as a way to comment on news websites. I do occasionally use youtube but not often. So such a service, while a very good idea, would not be of much use to me. *BUT* I might join just to give them my money to help them along.

This is what Gavin McInnes tweeted just before they were banned

the left wants to destroy any and all dissent from their views, this is just the beginning.
More about Gab...and the corporate war against freedom of speech.
