CONFIRMED: MARK ZUCKERBERG PERSONALLY MADE DECISION TO BAN INFOWARS
Infowars ^ | 10-Aug-2018 | Paul Joseph Watson

Posted on 08/10/2018 3:46:50 PM PDT by ptsal

In an article entitled Facebook Banned Infowars. Now What?, Kevin Roose reveals how, “Late on Sunday, after returning to his hotel room on a trip away from home, Mark Zuckerberg made a decision he had hoped to avoid.”

The report adds that the Facebook CEO “got personally engaged” and “discussed Infowars at length with other executives,” while speculating that Jones may have wanted to get banned to get media attention.

Zuckerberg initially considered whether Infowars was being brigaded by partisan mobs mass reporting of posts (this undoubtedly happened, but only after CNN had engaged in an intense lobbying campaign to have Jones banned).

Zuckerberg decided to remove the Infowars page entirely, rather than just giving the page a strike, when he saw on the news that Apple had removed the Infowars podcast.

So Big Media colluded to evict Infowars (TM) from the marketplace? Monopolies seem to collude a lot (eg price fixing) and then settling out of court to avoid being found guilty.

Went to check out a new video spot I heard about to avoid Youtube. They used DISQUS for their comments. DISQUS has me at a ban of some sort where I go into the netherworld trying without success to log on for the past week.

I’m just about given up on the Wild West World Wide Web. It’s all 1984 now.

Little Marky will need more than a wedgie seat cushion before this is over, IMHO.

“DISQUS has me at a ban of some sort where I go into the netherworld trying without success to log on for the past week.”

Disqus has me shadowbanned where all of my posts have been flagged as “Detected as spam”. SOBs.

Some sites will limit your usage or ban you outright of you follow the “wrong” users.

Zuck’s probably just ticked because Jones’ crap failed to turn him into a real man.
