Alex Jones did say that if Hillary won the election, he would be 10 times as wealthy and sell 10 times the views that he was.

This proves him right. They tried to silence him and he’s recovering.

I don't like Jones, I like some of the people on his program and I do NOT agree with what they are trying to do to him and others...

We have the First Amendment, which is for everyone, not just certain idiots that think they know it all...

I listen to Coast to Coast, it consists of ‘Conspiratory theories’ so what...we know the ‘Aliens’ from ‘Outer Space’ are not going to come and kidnap us away, the only ‘Aliens’ in our World are the dirt bags crossing over our borders thinking we owe them a life...

We need to start fighting back for our Freedoms, we are losing them to people like Maxi Pad Waters; Sick Brain Idiot Peloski; Chucky ‘Cheese’ Shumer and the likes of them...

This of course is IMHO...

Odd this is all happening before the mid-term elections. Just a coincidence, I’m sure...

A couple of nights ago Twitter purged Gavin McInnes and all of the Proud Boys organizations that he founded. Yet Nazi clown Richard Spencer and unapologetic white supremacist Lana Lokteff still have active accounts.

Why do you suppose that is?

Simple.

McInnes and has organizations, wrongly smeared as racists, were starting to built too big of a following, influence too many people, particularly Millennials, and risked having a negative impact on Democrats' ability to retake congress.

Twitter would rather have Spencer and Lokteff be the faces and voices of the alt.right. They're not a risk. They're not in any position to hurt the Democrats.

McInnes, on the other hand was dangerous. He had to go.

Agreed. If smartphone interfaces are important to social media sites (and they are critical), you can build your twitter, Fakebook, or youtube alternative and you will be banned from the iOS and Google app stores (ask GAB.AI) to eliminate your appeal to smartphone users. To build your own platform, you need to create a smartphone and operating system, and a search engine. All in all, a pretty big hill to climb.

Yes we can as long as it’s NOT September 11th, 2001 conspiracy theory.

Here is what Jim Robinson said on August 9th, 2018. Post #1. I’ll link it too.

” IMHO: This is downright criminal what the left is doing to Alex Jones. I am therefore lifting the general restrictions we have on posting from infowars.com with the exception that we still do not want 9/11 type conspiracy nonsense posted to FR.

Our long-standing general policy about no profanity, no personal attacks, no violence, no racism, etc, still stands. Alex Jones/infowars restrictions were in place on FR due to his 9/11 type conspiracy theories which we still do not want on FR.”

Perhaps Truth In Advertising laws should be applied to these companies. They advertise that they are free speech public commons, promoting the free and unrestricted exchange of ideas. What they provide is atheist, globalist, bolshevik, Nazi, Maoist propaganda. Anything else is systematically suppressed.

The fraud perpetrated by these companies is monumental. Last time I checked the old “private companies can do whatever they want” argument doesn’t sanction fraud. BTW, we live in a culture where private companies cannot do what they want - ask Christian bakers and florists.

And when candidate Obama looted Facebook of personal data for his campaign. Zuck was right there helping Obama take whatever he wanted.

And Zuck wants to share information with banks.

Where do you think this will take us?

Here's Facebook's IPO Prospectus. The Facebook Prospects is what Zuckerberg used to dupe investors when he went public. The prospectus describe "a public forum where all viewpoints are equally tolerated." That's what he said....what he did was radically different.

The SEC looks askance when publicly-held companies misrepresent their value to investors and/or falsifies Annual Reports.
CONTACT enforcement@SEC.gov

=======================================

HAT TIP POLITICALJUNKIETOO From Facebook's IPO Prospectus dated May 3, 2012:

Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay connected with their friends and family, to discover what is going on in the world around them, and to share and express what matters to them to the people they care about.

Developers can use the Facebook Platform to build applications (apps) and websites that integrate with Facebook to reach our global network of users and to build products that are more personalized, social, and engaging.

Advertisers can engage with more than 900 million monthly active users (MAUs) on Facebook or subsets of our users based on information they have chosen to share with us such as their age, location, gender, or interests. We offer advertisers a unique combination of reach, relevance, social context, and engagement to enhance the value of their ads.

We believe that we are at the forefront of enabling faster, easier, and richer communication between people and that Facebook has become an integral part of many of our users’ daily lives. We have experienced rapid growth in the number of users and their engagement.

[snip]

How We Create Value for Users

Our top priority is to build useful and engaging products that enable you to:

Connect with Your Friends. With more than 900 million MAUs worldwide, our users are increasingly able to find and stay connected with their friends, family, and colleagues on Facebook.

Discover and Learn. We believe that users come to Facebook to discover and learn more about what is going on in the world around them, particularly in the lives of their friends and family and with public figures and organizations that interest them.

Express Yourself. We enable our users to share and publish their opinions, ideas, photos, and activities to audiences ranging from their closest friends to our 900 million users, giving every user a voice within the Facebook community.

Control What You Share. Through Facebook’s privacy and sharing settings, our users can control what they share and with whom they share it.

Experience Facebook Across the Web. Through apps and websites built by developers using the Facebook Platform, our users can interact with their Facebook friends while playing games, listening to music, watching movies, reading news, and engaging in other activities.

Stay Connected with Your Friends on Mobile Devices. Through the combination of our mobile sites, smartphone apps, and feature phone products, users can bring Facebook with them on mobile devices wherever they go. Foundations of the Social Web

We believe that the web, including the mobile web, is evolving to become more social and personalized. This evolution is creating more rewarding experiences that are centered on people, their connections, and their interests. We believe that the following elements form the foundation of the social web:

Authentic Identity. We believe that using your real name, connecting to your real friends, and sharing your genuine interests online create more engaging and meaningful experiences. Representing yourself with your authentic identity online encourages you to behave with the same norms that foster trust and respect in your daily life offline.

Authentic identity is core to the Facebook experience, and we believe that it is central to the future of the web. Our terms of service require you to use your real name and we encourage you to be your true self online, enabling us and Platform developers to provide you with more personalized experiences.

Social Graph. The Social Graph represents the connections between people and their friends and interests. Every person or entity is represented by a point within the graph, and the affiliations between people and their friends and interests form billions of connections between the points. Our mapping of the Social Graph enables Facebook and Platform developers to build more engaging user experiences that are based on these connections.

Social Distribution. Over time, people are consuming and creating more kinds of information at a faster pace across a broader range of devices. The growing volume of information makes it challenging to find meaningful and trusted content and to effectively make your voice heard. Facebook organizes and prioritizes content and serves as a powerful social distribution tool delivering to users what we believe they will find most compelling based on their friends and interests.

Express what matters to them?

Richer communication between people?

Integral part of users' daily lives?

Discover and learn more about what is going on in the world around them, particularly in the lives of their friends and family and with public figures and organizations that interest them?

We enable our users to share and publish their opinions, ideas, photos, and activities to audiences ranging from their closest friends to our 900 million users, giving every user a voice within the Facebook community?

The growing volume of information makes it challenging to find meaningful and trusted content and to effectively make your voice heard.

“The bigger issue to me is they all banned him at the same time. There may be something illegal in that but they would never be charged so I guess it didn’t matter.”

Alex Jones show may showcase conspiracy theories, thus reducing him to the “nut” category by many (I’ve never listened to his show by the way); however, do you all not see the conspiracy by Apple, Google, Facebook, etc. of banning Alex Jones from their platforms all at the same time? Their collusion (including Twitter) of cutting off conservative voices on their collective platforms prior to the mid-term elections?

And they are getting away with it by claiming “mistakes” are made while continuing to do the same banning of conservative views over and over again. They slow-walk any changes to their algorithms while continuing in their wicked liberal ways, hoping to get past the mid-term elections before Congress might act to go after them for their fascist anti-trust activities.

By that time, these social platforms will have completed their pre-election assistance to their equally socialist and fascist liberal friends the Dems, without repercussion. The damage will be done. Congress, as usual, will sit on their derrieres and do nothing. Mission accomplished.

Is it also not a conspiracy on the part of the MSM, the Dems, the Clinton and Obama cabals, the DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc. colluding to overthrow President Trump in a not so silent coup? Is that not a REAL conspiracy? And so many knock Alex Jones while avoiding calling what is happening to Conservatives and our very own President Trump for what it truly is, A CONSPIRACY!!!!!

Make no mistake, you are just as important as anyone in the Anti-American establishment.
You are our most important contributor.

...but we still won't give you the byline/credit you deserve for your contribution.

Fixed it.
Screw you, Jones! I haven't forgotten.

And it's not as simple as "If you don't like Twitter's rules, go build your own Twitter!" They won't let you.

And if you do, they'll go after your hosting provider (like Microsoft Azure is threatening to do with Gab), or remove your site from DNS so that nobody can get to you unless they know your IP address (as happened with Stormfront).

You’re both right. I wrote an article about this just yesterday.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3678507/posts

A lot of responses didn’t catch much of what I was saying. Now that we the scope of the problem, what’s a solution?

And the answer cannot be “There is none”. We’re Americans, remember?
