re: Infowars is gone from FB and Youtube - and now more are coming

I despise politics, and if forced would describe my political leanings as simple as “leave me alone”. I believe in personal freedom, free markets, and all that entails, as long as it doesn’t infringe on others. However, one thing that troubles me is the ability of private companies, purveyor’s of information...Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.. to so easily silence, blackball, or severely cripple information & ideas to be disseminated. It’s frightening the amount of power & control they have.

The thing that seems to be missing from this thread is exactly what it is that Infowars represents. This isn't someone like Ben Shapiro or even Sean Hannity being banned. This is a site which actively encourages violence, civil war, promotes conspiracies, and just recently threatened to kill Robert Mueller. Those things are just "politics"....it's plain INCITEMENT>

Why in the hell would these companies be considered "stifling speech" when the fact is that they want no part of the inevitable violence that occurs as a result of Infowar's disinformation. Hell, it's already nearly happened once when that dipshit Jones' follower stormed into the pizza place because he believed in the whole Pizzagate conspiracy (nearly 100% made up by Alex Jones). Parents of dead Sandy Hook kids, to this day, receive death threats from Jones' followers who think the whole thing was a false flag to outlaw guns and believe these parents are just actors.

And y'all try to make this fricking political?!? This ain't about politics, folks.
