And Google for that matter.
In one of the most shocking and egregious attack on free speech yet, these corporations have decided to collude and kick Alex Jones and Infowars off their platforms sparking a debate on censorship.
What a bunch of cunts. How can anyone in those boardrooms think this is a good idea?
Regardless of what you think about Jones, you should not support this.
This is bad.
Very bad.
This is troubling on so many levels, it's frightening.
If you truly believe in the sanctity of free speech, you are angry as I am.
Jones isn't a racist. He's over the top sure, but it's fricken entertainment. The idea he's a 'threat to democracy' is absurd beyond belief. One guy? Really? How is Mark Zuckerberg unsafely selling YOUR PRIVATE DATA to third parties not a 'threat to democracy'? People really need to stop and think and ask who exactly are the enemies here? Do people really believe he's a bigger 'threat' than, say, Hillary if she had the reigns of power? Just observe how she's acting now. She makes Alex Jones look certifiably normal.
Illiterate (where liberty is concerned) punks like Zuckerberg and Dorsey should not be determining what is hate speech. If you think these two assholes give a shit about people's rights you're naive. They pretending to care while they align their interests with government. Know what this merging of government and business is called? That's fucking right. FASCISM.
And their first order of business was to start plucking off those pesky people who threaten their plans. So off goes Jones under the stupid term 'hate speech.'
Years ago when this term was in its infancy, I argued in class this will not end well years down the road because the term, when you ponder it deep enough, is meaningless. It's a weaponized meaningless term. That's what makes it so dangerous.
A couple of things. A) you're crazy if you think it will end here. Conservative/libertarians will be purged first. Heck, the New York fucking Times just hired a crazy racist! and B) even crazier if you believe in a nebulous term like 'hate speech'. As this case perfectly shows, these people are interpreting 'hate speech' as they see fit. How is Alex Jones any different from the idiots at The Young Turks? What about the conspiracy being sold by the DNC/media (led by the nonsense spewed by Rachel Maddow) about the fabricated Russia story? and C) still even crazier if you trust these ignoramuses to make such decisions.
These three horrible platforms, run by partisan people need to die and go away.
Here's hoping the market flushes them out.
Fight for freedom of speech and there's only one way to do so in this case.
Support Infowars. You can either go to bitchute and do so (this is that these fuckheads have done. Taken guys like me who just listened to him from time to time in tiny amounts since the 1990s and led me to go over and kick in a couple of dollars as a 'fuck you' to them) or just don't accept on a philosophical level what these companies are doing.
Always remember. In the end, they metaphorically (or not given it has happened in history) either line you up against the wall or come after you regardless of if you supported them.
Whether you like it or not, there's a war on the 1A and 2A now. It was declared by the progressive left.
Your silence will only embolden them.
