I really wonder would the tech companies be crazy enough to ban something like Breitbart. Breitbart's web site is well-likee by the Trump Administration and any attempt to ban Breitbart by anyone in the tech industry could result in Trump ordering the Feds to "drop the hammer" on the tech industry in a big way.

Wait a minute, are you really asking if leftist, Alynsky loving, Hollywood connected, narcissistic, democrats headquartered in California are “crazy enough” to do something that shuts down their political opponents?

It's easy to punish a way-out person like Alex Jones. But punish someone like Breitbart and the outcry WILL result in the Feds showing up at the corporate headquarters of much Bay Area tech companies asking a lot of tough questions.

ALEX JONES is EFFECTIVE !

Unless you have been living under a rock recently,
Alex Jones has mega audience viewers.

Alex is the winner, and Big Tech’s biggest enemy to crush & defame.

Big Tech cannot compete, only manage their decline.

Sherman anti-Trust act.

They're working in concert to raise the cost of access to the market for someone they don't agree with. Prohibiting companies from working in concert to fix prices or deny goods or services to targeted portions of the public is the stated goal of the Act.

Hopefully his banning leaves a mark of some sort.

WE don’t let some pervert male into a girls room or shower if he happens to self-identify as a female on any given day and we’re sexist, biased fascists.

THEY ban a political commentator from every platform they can get control with ... no problem.

So, when’s this Civil War scheduled for, again?

Did the company CEOs all have lunch a couple weeks back, and confederate to carry this out? All in lock step? I would say yes.

More than just the Sherman and Clayton Antitrust Acts—the fact that five different platforms banned Alex Jones within 48 hours of each other could make them potentially liable under Federal RICO laws.

True, and add in the fact that someone can probably find proof that they were in contact with the media formerly known as mainstream in advance of taking this action.

All the big media companies and all the big Internet companies in one giant RICO action would suit me just fine. It's long over due.

If Alex Jones was the deranged crank the fake news media claims he is, they would happily leave his videos up. They would think his show discredits his patriotic viewpoint.

This mass purge of Infowars and all its media tells me that AJ has touched a very serious nerve with someone. It tells me that what he says is true

jones is on the outs with the anon research community on line and the YouTube broadcasters. At this point singling out Alex jones is going after the low hang fruit with the idea of removing the next decisive personality within this group later when it is excepted.
