On Monday Facebook caved to the leftist media mob demanding censorship of InfoWars and permanently banned their page.
Google-YouTube followed suit and also terminated the InfoWars Account.
The tech tyrants launched a coordinated attack on Alex Jones and Infowars.
Facebook scheduled a public event with reporters last month to promote the new Facebook Watch video feature.
The situation turned ugly when the invited news reporters screamed about Facebook allowing FOX News and Infowars on their platform.

Jones has already moved over to the YouTube alternative BitChute.
Just when you thought nothing about this story could get any worse, we’ve gone and created the word Deplatforming.
Sorry. Make that #4
Uh...the Left created that word years ago, and has been doing it, while FreeperCons sat around and tutt-tutted about how “we’re better than that” and let them do it.
Y’all do realize it would be pretty easy to build new platforms similar to the old - right?
It’s a question of user base, not technology.
And our Republican majority is doing what exactly as this Nazi schit goes down?
“Yall do realize it would be pretty easy to build new platforms similar to the old - right?

Not at all. If your system plays skippy videos that are worthless to watch because of performance, then there goes your user base.
Not a single video streaming platform performs at even a fraction of what Youtube does. Half a trillion dollars in tech will do that.
If you wanted a streaming video service that could keep up with that bear in mind that not even Netflix could deliver on 1/4 the bandwidth use that Youtube does.
Matching these system technologies IS the basis of the problem.
I don’t know if this is the main thread on this topic, but doesn’t this make it necessary to unban Alex on FR now?
It’s only a matter of time. We know how they operate.
“Just this part of your gun is banned. We won’t ban any other part”
What does our new defender of freedom CNN think about all of This?
No, I have no desire to jump into bed with 9/11 truthers (ie, fake news, conspiracy mongers, liars, propagandists).
Obviously JimRob's call, but I've found that anything worth citing from Infowars can be found on other "Internet Content Providers" (a/k/a other sites) (the only exception is Paul Joseph Watson videos...but those appear to be tolerated fairly well).
Given the Bush familys funding of the NAZIs during Hitlers rise to power, it is not hard to understand GOPe RINO tacit support for Communist Chinas alliance with the Tech Left to silence conservative voices.....
Satans Illuminati team is pulling out all stops to help the Dems in November.
No complaint here. Thank you for FR.
This discussion, on the single topic of IW becoming victim of leftist media collusion, has not been zapped, which I think is a good decision.
Hysterical and idiotic reaction. Seems to me Alex has a platform

I guess as a non-user of Facebook and Twitter and iTunes podcast I do not see the cause for alarm. If those giants wish to alienate 45% of their potential audience and revenue stream then so be it. I will go where I want and stay where Im loved.
This is only a taste of what would be happening if we got Net Neutrality so many Freepers wanted.
