    I don't know why people are saying "Ah sher people just get a laugh out of it - nobody takes it seriously". That can be the case certainly, and would be fine if it were the case across the board, but he does have followers who take him seriously and are willing to do his bidding. This is not a minor issue.

    His followers have been harassing the parents of the children who were killed in Sandy Hook. It's way beyond "Haha, he's crazy". This is targeted harassment that nobody would allow on their platform.

    Alex Jones was exposed as a consumer of trans porn when he was filming his phone screen and closed a browser tab which showed previews of all his other open tabs.

    https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/08/27/infowars-host-alex-jones-caught-looking-at-transgender-porn-despite-anti-trans-rants/

    For those of you who don't know, Jones is a horrible bigot who says the most horrible and hateful things about trans people, including inciting violence against trans people.

    Wow that is perfect... almost too perfect... deep state setup?? :eek:

    I think some people here need to do some research on this topic. Jones was not taken down from twitter for sandy hook comments. Jones apologised and retracted statements he made on SH numerous times.

    He retracted the statements only AFTER lawsuits were brought against him. He was happy to maintain those views for years while his loonbag followers acted on them and harassed the parents of dead kids whom he called out as crisis actors.

    Also this isn't censorship. It's private companies making decisions regarding their own platforms. There are plenty of things you could write here on boards that would get you banned. In fact, people are banned from these forums every other day - that isn't censorship, it's common sense adherence to TOS and guidelines for the platform

    The problem, is that this kind of logic doesn't support the conspiracy theory narrative.



    FAKE NEWS! :pac:

    I do find it to be a delicious irony that suddenly Republicans have a problem with private companies doing what they want and are now pushing for Government interference.

    What's there to joke about? We are watching an innocent man, who just wanted to sell a few supplements to his limp dick followers, getting set up by intergalatic, interdimensional forces, led by that shark-eyed demon Killary

    Absolutely. These companies shouldn't have be giving such a large platform to a hate speaker and terrorist advocate who has used this show for the express purpose of doxxing the parents of dead children so his cultish followers can continue to stalk and threaten them into nomadic lifestyles where they can not settle anywhere and cannot visit their young child's graves.

    The fact that he has been banned by the 'silicon valley elite' will probably make him even more appealing to his crazy fan base.

    He has been banned for a while so I am going to need evidence of this random and often repeated claim.

    Last I heard views to his main website have dropped when they should have increased (as people can't go to Facebook and have to go to his site).

    After all these months, this is the best Twitter can come up to justify their removal of Jones from their platform:

    Really weak reasoning to 'deplatform' him.
