Multiple Corporate Social Media Platforms Simultaneously Ban Alex Jones for Thought Crimes…

The corporate thought police moved in unity today to unperson Alex Jones and his Info Wars media site from popular social media platforms.

Imagine if BP, Exxon, Chevron and Sunoco all moved, on the same day, at the same time, to charge $5.00/gal for gasoline at their service stations. That would be illegal collusion to take advantage of a monopolistic position. That’s essentially what happened today when Facebook, YouTube, Apple and Spotify simultaneously banned the Alex Jones broadcast from their platforms; in an effort to purge him from the internet.

How long before the ISP’s start doing the same?................

[TakebackGOP]

Wasn’t there fakenews reported about Donald Trump Jr. that three organizations had to retract on the same day?

[Zathras]

Poor analogy by Sundance.
Imagine charging $5/gal to specific individuals because they disagreed with you.
That is what is going on and the real goal of Net Neutrality.

Dear Farcebook, screwYouTube, crApple and Scatify,

If you censor speach

it ain’t free speech.

You belong in china or north korea.

[PetroniusMaximus]

According to Q, Alex Jones is controlled opposition. Alex’s father was CIA.

It’s for your own good, you are not sophisticated enough to know what you are seeing. The left continue to show their true totalitarian colors.

The issue isn't that InfoWars was banned, but HOW he was banned by four unbelievably powerful companies working in concert within the span of 12 hours

• Apple = $1 Trillion Value

• Google = $ 850 Billion

• Facebook= $ 500 Billion

• Spotify = $ 32 Billion

  Bringing the total of $2.4 Trillion (only 7 COUNTRIES in the world w/GDP that have a similar value/influence)

  These 4 tech companies exercise what appears to effectively express an assumed "sovereign power"

• Will Chamberlain tweet (video)

The conservatives better get off their duffs and create a conservative alternative to FB, YouTube, and the others, or they will be completely shut off the Internet before long.................

This is FB's example of free speech:

'How to pick up Jewish chicks': Vile antisemitic picture shows human remains on a shovel - but Facebook refused to remove it.

Facebook has been accused of "enabling vicious Jewish hatred" after telling users an image depicting human remains on a shovel below the tag line "How to pick up Jewish chicks" did not breach its standards.

Just days after back flipping on its decision to censor an iconic Vietnam War photo of a naked girl escaping a napalm bombing, the social media giant is again under fire over its handling of posts reported as offensive.

In reply to complaints about the shovel image - which was widely shared, "liked" 21,000 times, and received more than 37,000 comments - Facebook said: "We reviewed the post you reported for displaying hate speech and found it doesn't violate our community standards."

Under its community standards policy, Facebook says it "removes hate speech" that attacks people based on their race, ethnicity, national origin and religious affiliation.

"We allow humor, satire or social commentary related to these topics, and we believe that when people use their authentic identity, they are more responsible when they share this kind of commentary," the policy says.

The image was posted to a page attributed to a Queensland man late last month and shared 2280 times. It has now been removed but tens of thousands of comments, many of which are anti-Semitic, were still visible in the thread as late as Thursday.

A Facebook spokesman said the image was removed for breaching community standards and that the company was still investigating.

But 24 hours after being asked, the spokesman could still not say when the photo was taken down. Facebook could also not explain why only the photo was initially removed and not the entire thread - which is standard when a post is pulled.

His was a dentist. Not CIA by any means.

And what if that doesn't happen? Do you have half a trillion dollars in your back pocket?

Nobody's going to take that massive market share with a couple of coders in a garage somewhere.

If we don't smash them with the government, they aren't going to get smashed. Freedom of Speech is going to get smashed.

Isn’t he banned here?

What am I missing?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Google and Facebook are government/private chimeras, much like Soviet “private” enterprises.

How doess the 1st Amendment not apply to private companies or their property?

[DiogenesLamp]
