Infowars founder Alex Jones just got completely silenced on Thursday afternoon, after he was banned by both Twitter and Periscope. These were the last social-media platforms that still allowed Alex Jones to disseminate his message to the American people, after Infowars was “disappeared” by YouTube, Apple and Facebook, among others. According to Mark Dice, this happened because reasons. Check this out:
In August, Jones received a one-week suspension after CNN provided Twitter with a number of instances where his tweets appeared to violate the company’s user policies.
As you can see, regardless of what you think about him, Alex Jones is a wanted man. And this is not a joke unfortunately, but a quick glimpse in our Orwellian future, prepared for us by our Big Tech overlords. The masters of the universe hath spoketh: Alex Jones, one of the biggest names in the alternative media, must be “disappeared” from the “interwebz” for wrong-think. But yeah, he still has his website. Focus on ‘still’ and think along the lines of the Daily Stormer.

I don't use any of them
Some of us need those products. However, I don’t put anything of value on the sites.
Father of Five, but all five of your children use those sites, including YouTube, pretty much everyday. You may not use them, that’s hardly a relevant point.
Facebook and Google have billions of users. BILLIONS. You are hoping that everyone will just quit? Why? >90% of users use it for things other than politics, and are exposed to it indirectly by the Leftist leadership of those companies. It is a effective, mass deception vehicle. You’re okay with that?
The very high number of duplicate Alex Jones ban threads on FR is proof positive he is POPULAR.
This is the most number of duplicates ever.
Big Tech with China support are banning the most popular speakers. Long term it is a loser strategy.
Buh bye.
Well ... bye.
Yes. If everyone stopped using them, they would be out of business. There are many alternatives
Wow, you are special. And if everyone stopped drinking coke and eating McDonald’s, we’d be a lot healthier. Can we get this done by January?
His five kids use Facebook? What is this, 2012?
Kids are bailing on fb in droves.
By the way, why would people stop using Facebook and YouTube and Google? I know why you or I would, but why would billions of teenagers and moms with their friends and baby and Kardashian photos, why would they stop?
He’s right. Masses of people walking away is already hurting them. Fb is over for everyone except your aunt.
2.23 Billion monthly users. “droves” — I last saw the figure up to 40%. Even if that were true, that leaves like 1.4 billion MONTHLY users.
Since you seem to have difficulty understanding the magnitude of this problem, even with the decrease, that is almost 5x the entire population of the U.S., including newborn babies.

Well, no sh*t Yogi Berra!
Meanwhile, liberals use Twitter, Facebook, and Google to get their message across to hundreds of millions of people. Are conservatives simply supposed to accept being banished to uninhabited internet wastelands where we can preach to the ever-shrinking choir and yell at clouds?
Good thing you don't use them. What would we do without you?
Every conservative needs to be fighting for our voices on these platforms. That's where the war is being fought.
They would stop using it because they perceive its value as a useful tool is fast diminishing. When they were a neutral forum, they were valuable. As people begin to understand blocking and shadowbanning, they find it less useful. Pure expectancy Theory. If you cannot count on a result you will not use it. When you begin to believe that your Tweet or Facebook post just goes out into the ozone and nobody sees it, and that fact is hidden from you, you will not use it much longer. People have to believe that there is a correlation between their efforts and an outcome that they want. If the outcome I want is to communicate a political message, and I cannot determine whether that outcome happens, and worse, its deliberately frustrated and hidden from me, I’ll walk away as will millions of others.
Facebook is already a Dead Man Walking.
Why are you defending Facebook Google and Twitter so hard? That seems a little odd.
Thank you. These idiots on FR saying go to some other website — this is not for our entertainment. The main thing are the billions of users that are clueless — they will be influenced either to the right or the left, and these weisenheimers are fine with their silencing of conservatives. Sometimes FR is maddening.
You seem to have a hard time understanding that Facebook user numbers will be fine globally, but you don’t sell a lot of advertising directed to cannibals in the Congo. And you may want to check on the percentage of Fb advertising dollars generated by the North American Market. So it doesn’t matter if every hutu or coolie has a smartphone from the UN with a Facebook account. A severe plunge in the north American market hits them very hard. Don’t kid yourself sport.
Congo population: 78 million.
YouTUbe monthly users: 1.8 Billion. (1Billion equals 1000 Million).
By the way, Facebook is losing viewers, but YouTube is gaining. How do you explain that Weisenhammer?
The bottom line is you can tweet or put a Facebook post up, but every effort to organize and use Facebook and Twitter is frustrated deliberately, and that fact is hidden from you. So you aren’t fighting for your conservative rights on Facebook, you’re merely shouting at the clouds.
A new platform will soon emerge, probably around the 2020 election. Facebook will be approaching Myspace status in the North American Market by 2024. It’s laughable when I hear the Zuckerberg talk about running for office. He’s already an uncool old guy.
You seem to think you can talk and beg and argue Facebook into not stifling conservative speech. It’s really time to turn our attention towards what the next conservative method of communication will be.
And come to think of it, I know a man with the money, the fame, and the entrepreneurial ability the found the next social media that Embraces free speech. He’s giving a speech right now on Fox so I’ll argue with you later Sparky.
I’ve already done my protection bit. It was a really loud and nasty place. What have you done?
