    I have no issues with the banning of Alex Jones -- the same TOS policy should be applied to others irrespective of political viewpoint across all social media outlets. If the social media outlets don't reform themselves with universal application of policies then the government will surely help them do so.

    As I stated earlier the days of the wild west on major social media platforms is drawing to a close. Soon we will see government regulatory involvement worldwide. It is inevitable -- and the social media companies can only blame themselves.

  10. It shocks me how easily some of you give up your freedoms. Do you really think Alex Jones will be the only person banned from social media? In fact, it has already happened to hundreds of other mostly rightwing posters.

    We have a media that is almost 100% far left. One of the most prestigious newspapers, the NYT, recently hired an editorialist who has a years long trail of vicious and unapologetic anti-white posting. Even a few years ago, such a hire would have been unthinkable. Now the reaction is shut up Nazi.

    Social media is really the last tool of the right, unless we go back to printed fliers. And it's not just bans from social media. Payments processors like PayPal are shutting off accounts, web platforms are being made unavailable, even event venues are refusing access, some out of legitimate concern about leftwing violence.

    Today it is Alex Jones, tomorrow it will be anyone questioning the official line. Think that's crazy? Go to the UK, Canada or pretty much any euro country and start posting criticism of suicidal immigration policies and noting migrant crime. You will likely end up like Tommy Robinson, in prison for wrong thinking. We have a canadian, Nine Ender, who openly wishes for the jailing of posters here.

    We have three major obstacles. One, generations have been indoctrinated in school to believe that certain kinds of speech can and should be banned. Their understanding of the First Amendment and the principles behind it are seriously skewed. Two, both parties are ok with silencing non-mainstream voices. The republicans don't want to be bothered with any more Trumps. They want to be able to deliver for globalists and not lose their seats doing it. Three, on our side we have a large fifth column of "true conservatives", the George Wills who would rather see Hillary Clinton appoint three Supreme Court justices than fight back. They wallow in moral superiority and sneer at us that "these are private companies" as though that is a debate ender. When did it ever end a debate with the left?
