Emboldened by Their Successful Deplatforming of Infowars — Democrats Start Push to Stamp Out...
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8/7/18 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/07/2018 1:21:00 PM PDT by markomalley

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.

But Democrats and their media already have their sights on a much bigger target.
FOX NEWS–

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.

Why are you worried about something stupid like "damaging the English language" with some neologism, when the Left is trying to destroy the free flow of information so that they can garner for themselves a permanent lock on power?

> Hysterical and idiotic reaction.

Could be. For what it’s work, a bunch of guntubers have been treated similarly, and have had similar reactions.

I agree the IW can and does host their own video.

The issue, like with firearms, is getting in front of the general public.

Marxist Liberals want to control every aspect of our lives like any other dictators in history. It is imperative that we get everyone out to vote this November. Vote as if you’re voting for Donald J. Trump all over again.

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.

I'm really not trying to defend Jones, per se.

But it goes farther. Fox News is an example. When is it going to be stylish to "disappear" the Daily Caller? Or the Washington Examiner? Or the Washington Times?

Media Matters is advocating for FB to ban all "anti-climate-change" content (see Facebook has a climate-denial problem (7/31/18))

I never heard of it till your post. So I just set up an account, but BitChute seems very choppy and the videos stall out and flicker... is that common?

Of course. I don’t mean to piss off the boss, but “we’re all infowarriors now.”

Just one reason getting knocked off YT is a problem.

But if they persist, a workable alternative has to rise up.

Even if it’s passing thumb drives.

“I have no desire to jump into bed with 9/11 truthers (ie, fake news, conspiracy mongers, liars, propagandists”

I think you’re painting Alex with much too broad of a brush. He may have some things you don’t like, but he also has a lot of good stuff, *way* before anybody else see it coming, which turns out to be true.

A guy like that is bound to miss now and then. Bigley, sometimes. But he’s also the guy who will see the unexpected first. He’s a valuable resource, if you’re careful.

Well, luckily enough, Info Wars still has their website that people can visit. The Internet and Information do not live and die with Twitter, Facebook, or any other website.

Because, words have meaning.

First they destroy the language. That is always Step One on the way to whatever they’re trying to accomplish.

For now. I wonder how much pressure the domain name registrar for that site is receiving from the left...

I believe that is correct. The pay couldn't keep the net "neutrality" so the leftists are making the moves to have both sides begging the gubmint to fix it/ regulate net content.

No thanks

The 9/11 conspiracy nonsense is a miss now and again? And Sandy Hook? And the Boston Marathon bombing? And the Las Vegas mass shooting? And chemtrails, etc, etc, etc? No, the guy is a ranting conspiracy freak. Where is he on the Hollywood moon landing conspiracy?

He has an unalienable right to free speech, but no one can be forced to carry or publish his conspiracy b/s. Freedom of association is also a free speech issue, and I chose many years ago not to be associated with these kind of nutcases and snake oil salesmen (though I’m somewhat nutty myself).

But I do sympathize with his current blackout problems. Been there, done that, don’t like it a bit.

We have a page on fb (because some of our users wanted it), but I rarely post there. Same with twitter. We operate our own servers. I’d hate to have to depend on the fb, twitter, youtube, etc, platforms. Don’t even like the idea of cloud, because they’re owned by google, amazon, microsoft, apple, et al, who all happen to be big tech liberal/progressive companies who have yet to learn that socialism is an evil hater of freedom and free market capitalism.

Ironic, because all these big corporate guys earned their billions through capitalism. If and when the socialist totalitarians ever take total control, their companies will be taken over to spout the official totalitarian government propaganda line 24/7. These corporate giants will join the rest of us in the gulags.

Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Goebbels, Mussolini, et al, would have loved to have had a tool like the internet. In their hands, it would be like Big Brother is watching and controlling 24/7.

Exactly!

That’s why my belief it, it will eventually become a tool of the Antichrist. I purposely avoid the major social media but there eventually won’t be any place to hide. I’m sure TPTB have been collecting data for years.

But then, I’m a tinfoiler...:)
