- He'll be ripping his shirt off and BBQ-ing like mad right now. Surely it'll only make his fan base believe his pish even more though?PhanLo
- good ... queue the retards who think this has something to do with freedom of speech ... it doesn'tmonospaced
- Bitchute is the new channel I believerobotron3k
- Bitchute looks like some grim viewing. It sounds like another word for fartpipe.PhanLo
- private companies should be able to ban whomever they damn well please... that IS a part of freedom of speech btw (for the private co... not Alex) :)PonyBoy
- Who?sab
- So the left fights fascism then impliment fascism? OK.Hayoth
- by left fascism you mean triggering assholes to doubt people's dead children, then yea. fuck this wannabe bobby heenan.BonSeff
- Hayoth are you a crisis actor for Alex Jones?utopian
- Damnit. That’s not what fascism even is! Why are we still having this conversation. This is a company saying they don’t like a crazy asshole in their business.monospaced
- And just because the heads of most major social media networks happen to be liberal doesn’t mean it’s the government. Just means they’re better people.monospaced
- GoodBennn
- Lol liberals are better people mono, I mean who on earth would even want to normalize pedophilia? Or is that something you would defend??robotron3k
- https://ageofshitlor…robotron3k
- i respect their right to ban him as much as a baker to not bake a cake for gays. I wonder if ppl see the hypocrisy in how this stuff is defendeddeathboy
- or even willingly will admit there choice of hypocrisydeathboy
- on a side note i'd like to point out hes an entertainer in the same vain as john oliver. News as entertainment with a spindeathboy
- i think it says plenty about the platforms decisions in which way they lean. not all inclusive, but our views only. like a religious baker. line has been drawndeathboy
- i actually applaud them for their honesty and standing by what they believe vs trying to lie and say they're all inclusive and shit for sales.deathboy
- Unlike John Oliver, he doesn't always have facts and he promotes products he profits off of.omahadesigns
- haha well id say they both operate off facts. interuptations different. and where as aj promotes products network does the same in the form of advertisementsdeathboy
- slightly different mediums for advertisements. but thats what pays them both at the end of the day. personally i prefered oliver in communitydeathboy
- and jones in waking life. the news personas do lil for me. think they are the bottom of the barrel acting, albeit profitabledeathboy
- but to the main point the hypocrisy. will anyone willingly admit it? or will they try to skate around it?deathboy
- and for fun thought experiment think of the Interpretations of what is news. most is all based on same facts and spun differently for audiencedeathboy
- how is that also applied to todays big media and google analytics. the data and the people trying to determine what it means. there real intents and spinsdeathboy
- Maybe he'll just get more into making music .... https://i.redd.it/0k… Expect him in the Making Beats thread soon ....microkorg
- Maybe uncle Donnie will save him.PhanLo
- mono, you must be a troll? you can't be that fucking stupid. BANNING someone from SPEAKING just because you disagree with them is an attack on FREE SPEECH.Milan
- "Censoring certain views based on politics means that Facebook is a publisher not a platform and therefore they should have their liability waiver on illegal...Milan
- user posted content revoked."Milan
- is calling the victims of a shooting 'crisis actors/hoax' political?..really? or is it hate speech?exador1
- When people say free speech in the U.S., they're usually talking about the First Amendment which protects you from being censored by the government.yuekit
- Whereas a corporation censoring someone is seen as an example of THEIR freedom of speech. Having said that I do agree it's a problem when you have one site likeyuekit
- YouTube that is basically the only video site. Technically it's a private decision and no one would deny you the right to ban someone from your personalyuekit
- site if they are being a piece of shit. But effectively it is silencing someone when so much power is in the hands of a handful of companies. Everyone wants toyuekit
- be 100% on one side or the other but I don't think it's such a black and white issue.yuekit
- The interesting thing is that for all the criticism they get, we are living in an age of extreme free speech right now largely thanks to these platforms.yuekit
- Even 5-10 years ago you didn't have nearly as many channels to watch and extreme content as we have now...the genie has been let out of the bottle so to speak.yuekit
- Banning them from social media is not a free speech infringement, no matter how much you stomp your feet and whine like a baby about it.monospaced
- And last I checked, liberals aren't out to "normalize pedophilia." That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard.monospaced
- Look up free speech, Milan, and educate yourself. You sound like an idiot talking about it when you CLEARLY have no fucking idea what it encompasses.monospaced
- If an asshole walks into a restaurant, and starts making a scene, talking shit to guests and turning the place into a shithole, the owner has a RIGHT to evict.monospaced
- This is the same thing. The moment a government SUPPRESSES speech, that's when it's an issue. Right now Alex is FREE to speak his mind where he's accepted.monospaced
- Any private company that wants to allow him to speak is allowed to, and nobody will be punished LEGALLY for it. THAT IS FREE SPEECH. Not infringed. Grow up!monospaced
- That's the great thing about this country. Free to speak like an asshole, and free to kick out assholes you don't like. Government isn't even involved.monospaced
- 'liberals normalise pedophilia' - robo 2018.
oh robo!fadein11 - Alex Jones will find new ways of making bereaved parents lives even more hellish somehow, it's what he do... We interrupt this comment to bring youfadein11
- SurvivalPowder™ - when the EMF attack happens, rest assured your family will be safe, only $999 for 1 weeks worth of non GM, homeland hillbilly farmed goodnessfadein11
- for all the family however many fingers your kids have. DO NOT FORGET TO READ THE SMALL PRINT.fadein11
- Surely Jones has made a decent amount of cash by now, he should just retire and BBQ full time before he explodes.PhanLo
- Until Alex Jones is imprisoned or charged with a legal infraction for speaking, anyone saying there's a freedom of speech issue is full of bullshit.monospaced
- it's less about speech and more that it is simple discrimination of a private company in providing a service. unfortunately they will be sued for it as thedeathboy
- baker was. Maybe this time they will win and reverse a the precedence that a private company has to serve everyone equally. Brings rights back to busines ownrsdeathboy
- private companies can delete whatever the fuck they like and deleting someone who claimed Sandy Hook didn't happen and the parents were actors is +1 from me.fadein11
- Alex still has Instagram for posting memes.PhanLo
- The question is if you can discriminate based on political beliefs, which are broad and derived upon many things like religion/racial/econ... etc..deathboy
- you open the door to roll back all anti-discrimination laws. i also wonder the legal hiccups of state vs federal law for a business that crosses state lines.deathboy
- The whole discrimination argument may work if infowars was a not for profit org... Have you watched it recently deathboy? Its all about the $$$ dude not freedomfadein11
- of speechfadein11
- LMFAO!LMFAO
- Those sites kick people off all the time for violating their terms of service, you just don't hear about it since they aren't as famous as Alex Jones.yuekit
- There are also people with similar and more extreme views still on those platforms. Richard Spencer has a YouTube channel. So not much of an argument in termsyuekit
- of it being political discrimination. And no it's not going to result in all anti-discrimination laws being rolled back lol.yuekit
- it has potential yuekit. they're already being sued for shadow banning conservative views. if they were to win it would set a legal precedent. but would it bedeathboy
- fed vs state level. it has a lot of interesting legal angles. but gov probably seize it all anyways under russia prevention narrative.deathboy
- but still how can some people support infowars ban vs a religious business owner not wanting to bake a cake for a gay couple. or even refusing to serve politicdeathboy
- al candidates they dont support. religious business owner BK over deal while others get applauded. the hypocrisy on this stuff is ridiculousdeathboy
- There's a difference between banning someone for who they are vs. their behavior. i.e. banning someone foryuekit
- being black vs. kicking someone out for breaking the merchandise and taking a shit on the floor. The first one canyuekit
- be debated, but it would be silly to suggest that someone has an absolute right to stay in your store when they are breaking the rules.yuekit
- google+sted
- lol he is a lair, his apps are upp and running.sted
- honestly, if your[e still claiming freedom of speech issues, you're seriously confused. Alex is FREE to spout his nonsense on his own site, or on the sidewalk.monospaced
- or ANYWHERE where people are so morally fucked they will allow him ... maybe even FOX News. Point is, he's FREE to do that without punishment.monospaced
- Stupid thing is both Apple and Google decided his videos should be banned from their platforms, yet decided his top-downloaded app was worthy of keeping. SMHridlerontheroof

- I wouldn't worry about twitter nonsense, it's only been around for 12 years, frees speech a 100 or so. whatever guys - dinosaurs laster more than 12m years!!!!!shapesalad
