    They terminated his account for hate speech and violent content. That is facebooks official statement. Not for being extreme right.

    The problem isnt with Librals, specifically, im pretty sure any reasonable person here would call them assholes.

    The problem is that we now have 3 companies essentially "Controlling" free speech. Facebook, youtube, twitter, they get to decide whats offensive and whats not, wait till it happens on your end. Its a dangerous precedent, far more dangerous than anything Trump can ever say.

    Actually the press is more free than it has ever been. Those 3 platforms are only 3 out of many: the most free being the actual world wide web. Foxnews.com can put Alex Jones on their platform.

    It is scary how the power of some companies can be abused. But this example is not an example of that abuse in my opinion. ISIS propaganda should be controlled. Alex Jones should be controlled.

    No they're not....they happen to dominate the space is all. Alex Jones is welcome to go to LiveLeak or Ogrish where he belongs.

    Give me a break, 90% of people go to the same three resources. TWTR, FB and youtube are literally trying to curve peoples thoughts.

    Well, duh. You honestly think Facebook would come out and admit they banned them for being of a particular political class in this environment?

  7. Actual harm was caused to several Sandy Hook families, one forced to move as many as six times in actual fear of harm due to Jones' relentless drumbeat to his crazies. We can assume others. I'd literally kill him quite likely if I were one of those dads and had no other kids. Many would feel the same.

    Provable actual harm is unacceptable, in the end Jones is one guy running a business, celebrity does not give him special status.

    Of course righties went crying then too saying banning antifa was protecting the radical left by "hiding" their hate.

    These companies don't owe the public jack shit, they're welcome to do as they please. It's a free market, righties should compete by making similar platforms.
