Cyclone   10 #2 Posted August 11, 2018 No, the private businesses that have banned him for breaching their terms of use have never held themselves up as some kind of platform of free speech.  They are however under pressure from governments to counter fake news, of which he appears to be a purveyor.

Magilla   510 #3 Posted August 11, 2018 Love or hate Alex Jones, has the slipperey slope of censorship and control just been unmasked?  No.  The National Enquirer (which has previously claimed Obama was an Alien) still has a facebook page...  Your comparison is just silly. I think you'll find that if they'd called him a rapist, peadophile or murderer they wouldn't have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
muddycoffee   10 #4 Posted August 11, 2018 Cyclone is correct. There has been no unnecessary censorship.  Alex Jones and his Organisation have taken an increasingly angry and bizarre twist over the last three years. This has led to them continually breaching the terms and conditions of Facebook and YouTube. As a consequence they have lost the right to continue using those channels to broadcast and distribute their material. I can't see anything unfair about that.

tinfoilhat   11 #5 Posted August 11, 2018 Some parents of the victims of sandy hook massacre and somebody else as well - here we are - Charlottesville: Why one man is suing Alex Jones for defamation - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45142881 - and I hope both of them take him to the cleaners to the point he's left on the streets begging for change.

MAC33 Â Â 10 #6 Posted August 11, 2018 There will come a time when to further their agenda it has to come out in plain site. Â I'd say we are already here. Â It's a slippery slope alright. I can see 911 Truthers being targeted next. Their claims of it being an inside job will somehow result in defamation cases or perhaps a criminal prosecution for hate speech.

I'll bet he can't.  Looks like he's going to get his chance, something tells me it's not going to go well for Alex: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45142881 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Harrystottle   10 #11 Posted August 12, 2018 Can't comment on Alex Jones because I've never seen any of his stuff. But yes, the battle to excercise control over the internet is well and truly on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
