Youtube follows Apple's lead and removes the Alex Jones and Infowars channels from its platform
Business Insider ^ | 08/06/18 | Greg Sandoval

On Monday, YouTube became the latest platform to boot content of the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones from its site, hours after Apple first took steps to remove most of Jones' podcasts from its services, citing the company's hate-speech guidelines.

Now, those who try to visit The Alex Jones Channel on YouTube will be greeted by a note saying the account "has been terminated for violating YouTube's Community Guidelines."

I think Pinterest has now blacklisted, too.

He already has : https://www.real.video/

But that still doesn’t make what YouTube did right in any way.

So Google, YouTube and Apple are in on this?

If that isn't anti-trust collusion, I don't know what is.

The funny thing is Jones uses memes made against him on his own show over and over... He plays them and makes them part of his show. Mocking him was basically neutralized, so now they have to censor him directly.

The left can’t meme, they have to censor.

Three of the largest companies on earth can conspire to target and shut down anyone they like. They make the rules and have become the gatekeepers of the national discourse.

Bleeeeeeeeet "Oh but it's private companies. Just start one of our own."

No, they're exploitative leftist robber baron zombies that need to be SMASHED.

If this is how it’s going to be then it’s time to put the boot of the .gov on their necks. They are monopolies anyway and need to be broken up.

His election night coverage with Roger Stone was excellent. I loved to watch it. Hopefully I will be able to find it somewhere. Sad to see this happening. It is like the ban of Song of the Song of the South.

They're acting on concert so it's a classic case of their all being part of a Trust. Therefore, anti-Trust laws apply and Trump should go after them hammer and tong the same way Teddy Roosevelt went after the oil and steel trusts that agreed to limit access to markets, set uniform prices/terms of service, and attack any competitors not a part of the Trust.

“Bleeeeeeeeet “Oh but it’s private companies. Just start one of our own.”

Yeah, they are. No matter how many jokers keep saying this on our side, it doesn’t make it a lie. Their servers, they are paying for the electric bill to power them, so they have all the ability to screw you over.

So either mock these companies for their shady actions and hit them in the pocket book, start a new service, and stop acting like jr Hugo Chavezs.

Some of you are starting to become more obnoxious with this sneering attitude when it was the childish devotion to a small number of tech brands by most of us that have these people this much influence.

So dont go look for the state to take over websites to make up for it.

I think anti-trust laws can be used against Apple, etc. They all did this at the same time. This was orchestrated. They conspired against Jones.
