You can define anything you don't like as "hate speech". I don't care for these massive tech companies (that have colluded with government) picking and choosing who is allowed on the public space of the internet, which they have effectively become. I think they should be regulated and made to allow all political speech, and to have complete transparency in the banning process.

It's not just Jones that this is happening to, and you're gravely mistaken if you think this won't result in honest, anti-system leftists eventually getting banned too. Meanwhile, ISIS sympathizers and pedophiles use Twitter, Youtube etc. with no problem. I think they should be allowed too, so long as there is no direct threat of violence, but it just goes to show what's really happening here.

^ I just heard this morning that Google employers are protesting the company's decision to make censorship search engines more readily available in China. I would say that Google has fallen for the money making opportuniites that China represents rather than China itself. In other words, censorship through greed.

A little more complex than that. THis guy has some good points.


Interesting video, certainly.  I find some of his points dubious like of China controlling FB/Google.  But the part about China controlling the universities seems plausible based on reports of the proliferation of Confucius Institute in America.  

The larger point, though, is what I too was trying to make.  Trump is just an example and more than Trump the US president himself, the tech giants have now opened a war front against what he stands for.  Of course, people are going to argue that being that Trump stands for bigotry and racism, what's wrong with that?  What's wrong is the arbitrary and unilateral freedom to ban content that does not conform to the establishment narrative.  This is not new to US, though, and is a more sophisticated version of McCarthyism.  Except this is a McCarthyism being unleashed by the Left and is more insidious since it doesn't involve criminalising the anti establishment actors in most cases, only in denying them a voice which is more powerful.

Yeah, it does bother me that a buffoon like him could actually get banned. Comedians are already banned, unofficially of course, from safe spaces.  For different reasons ostensibly, but the reasons seem to be kind of related.  Holding a worldview that the establishment disapproves of.

AJ and Infowars are a gargantuan fraud, and so is David Icke. End of.

As for PJW, he really just needs to calm down. Sometimes he comes out with stuff I agree with and other times he comes across as a lower middle class thug; a shouty racist and homophobe. The sought of person who reads Jordan Peterson books, but equally the sought of person that Peterson would think is a prick.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Funny stuff indeed.

Seriously, InfoWars started out as a really good resource site in the 90s.

Something happened to AJ. I think he's been using too much of his own products!

Personally i can't stand to watch him. Ugh. However, banned? Unless it's illegal, no matter how crazy. Nope.

He's of a legal age and deserves all the sexualization he gets.

Oh but I hadn't actually heard the news about his ban yet... Yeah, the exclusiveness that these platforms are starting to maintain is really harmful to the state of the internet and the net of hate speech getting spread wider and wider is a dangerous development. Stop being pussies and let them speak put their crazy theories, as long as they're not literally discussing a time and place to organize a violent protest or terrorist attack, and even then, stop them as attackers, not as broadcasters. Let that free speech prevail.

Hi,

The only scary thought I have, is that we, as listeners, are too jaded, to know when something is toxic, and we think that we have to kill it, in order to continue our life.

I'm not in favor of those folks doing what they do, but for the past many years, this has been a serious part of politics, and it scares me even more when a president is a leader in trying to shut people down, and sending them home without a job.

IF, there is a problem where that guy is, it would be the money that keeps him up there on the air ... and it is the same thing with the middle eastern situation when there is so much money from the Arab worlds supporting terrorism ... because they dislike America, etc, etc, etc ... 

Radio, has been pretty poor for a long time. For the FCC to shut it down, there must have been something much stronger than a few words and political thoughts and ideas. The FCC, above all, has to understand and support the Constitution, and I doubt they would take a step unless there were other circumstances that caused the problems.

The other issue, that I think is a problem, is the way that it was being broadcast ... like a pirate radio station ... and even though, in our OWN HISTORY, progressive music just about got its start in those places, going back to the KINKS, BEATLES, ROLLING STONES (for example), there is a side to it, that makes sense ... the folks can not get on the air to play and say what they want to.

That said, there are a lot of ways to say what you want, that are not hurtful, and malicious, and alienates people. The scary part is that someone like him gets money from somewhere to keep on doing this, and this is the part that could be better dealt with. 

The FCC has a history of going after folks broadcasting "illegally", and even a few years back they went after MICRO RADIO, and other typical and similar situations. 

While I am not sure I would want to strengthen the FCC's stand, I do think that folks that broadcast have a responsibility of being fair and honest and not malicious or vindictive. To me, that alone is more important, so this gentleman being shut down, is not a surprise ... although, if you look at the history of a lot of radio, tv, and the media, it was the folks way out in left field and in Mars, that made things happen and change ... and for someone like this, I would be very careful ... the last thing we want is a martyr that everyone looks at as a purveyor of a new order.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Exactly. This issue goes beyond Alex Jones. It's about censorship in general. YouTube for example has been ramping up the removal of videos and deleting accounts for subjects that criticize the official status quo. Another way they do this is simply by defunding (not paying for views) as well as manipulating the counter. Whistleblowers have stated that Google, YouTube, Facebook etc are nothing more than CIA spying sites. As they see people becoming more aware of how the world really works, they are growing more restless and quashing the great awakening. However, the genie is out of the bottle and their fruits are rather too little too late. Alternative open source sites are popping up like wildflowers in spring. It's a beautiful day indeed.

Has he lost the Infowar? It's not clear. If people are serious about supportng Jones, they will acually sign up to Infowars and pay a subscription, instead of watching his bullsh*t for free on YT etc... This could play out very well for AJ financially.

For many years he's being saying "The globalists want to shut me down!!!" Well, now they have, so I guess in that regard, the conspiracy nut was actually right all along, and de-platforming of him, has merely underlined and partly validated his claims, which clearly doesn't look good. It's afforded him a certain degree of matyrdom.

I'll not miss Jones, but I'm opposed to him being platformed on principle. "First they came for the right wing nut jobs, but I didn't do anything because I wasn't a right wing nutjob. Then they came for etc etc etc..." You get me..?
