They actually purged their pages. WTF is this world coming to if we allow massive social media engines to censor content they don't agree with.

And, I am not a huge fan of IW puts this is getting ridiculous and scary.

Twitter is next.


Freedom isnt really free, and social media is showing its true colors. A liberal propaganda machine.

Apple, YouTube & Facebook all banned him. All within 12 hours. Big tech companies are all working together on this. Ridiculous

I got into an argument today with a liberal who I respect. I told him how disappointed I was to see he wasn’t defending free speech. I told him that I would certainly defend a left-leaning equivalent to Alex Jones that was being silenced.

He said he has no issue with this because it’s “not the government doing the censoring”. That’s a cop out IMO. That may be legally justifiable but it’s certainly not morally justifiable for a “liberal” to celebrate this coordinated attack by left-leaning corporations - especially since they are serving in a “public forum” capacity. He didn’t really answer me on that point, which disappointed me.

Insert Voltaire quote here.

I think YouTube just want's videos of moms opening new toys and video game commentary.


LiveLeak or Vimeo will have to take over political issues.

The problem is, every time a video or social media platform gains traction Google or FB buys them. Then those platforms are then corrupted by Google and FB's anti-free speech rules.

How can an entity called "Inforwars" lose one? Pretty sad.

2 options here

government involvement or society/market reacts

I'm for letting the latter play out, some of y'all seem to want government involvement, which to me, is scarier

They are private businesses than can tell Alex Jones to go to hell as much as bakers and candlestick makers can tell homosexuals to go to hell.
