"August 6th was one of darkest days in the history of the Internet. When I learned that Facebook, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Pinterest and others had colluded to take down content from Alex Jones all on the same day, I knew exactly what was happening. They timed their attack so that it would hit the press at the beginning of the weekly news cycle on Monday so that their purge would have maximum societal impact. And the fact that there was such overt collusion was obviously meant to send a message. We were supposed to understand that if they can do this to Alex Jones, they can do it to any of us, and so we better shut up and fall in line...."

These media giants have declared Jones to be “hateful” and “bullying.” But don’t worry, you’ll still be able to receive online Islamic instruction on how to beat women who won’t have sex with you:

The social media giants have become essential to modern society. Online & brick-and-mortar businesses are built around Facebook and Twitter, Instagram, the rest of them. And by the same token, the media platforms are built around their users. The platforms’ advertising revenue is generated by user content. Some of the giant companies even receive government incentives. The argument that the media giants are private companies and can ban whomever they want is not valid. The companies are, in part at least, public property. So maybe it’s time to break up the big tech monopolies, in the public’s interest.
Hopefully this abuse of Alex Jones will lead to congress finally educating itself on how the internet works. Once they see how important it is to have an internet free of Gestapo thought police, then legislation will be passed. At the minimum, congress should give us an internet Bill of Rights, so that those who are discriminated against have some form of redress. Or congress could make the abusive social tech companies publish their algorithms. Make them open source, and then everybody could monitor their own web traffic and determine if they’re being discriminated against (site traffic choked down by algorithms, shadow banning and so forth). Of course, the big companies will say this would open them up to attacks by Russians, but how could anybody POSSIBLY interfere any MORE in an election than is being done right now with the Jones affair? One of the main reasons they’re trying to silence him is because he was so successful an advocate for Donald Trump in the 2016 election. He helped swing crucial electoral votes to Trump, thus ensuring his election. The Leftists realized too late how much influence Jones had, and they’re determined not to let him have a voice in another election (the mid-terms are just 90 days away). The media de-platforming of Jones is election meddling of the highest order.
But at least the situation is garnering a lot of attention. Currently at the top of the DrudgeReport, the internet’s # 1 news page:
- SOCIALS CLAMP DOWN ON INFO...
- INSTAGRAM bans Tommy Robinson... (He’s against Muslim gangs raping children, therefore a thought criminal)
- FACEBOOK Blocks Republican Candidate's Ad... (She dares to criticize the Khmer Rouge, a fave of Leftists)
- Asked to Change Rules for Journalists... (‘Good’ journos, like the ones who told us about Saddam’s WMDs, want 'fake news' exemptions. Alex Jones railed against the WMD lie, by the way)
- TWITTER Suspends Libertarian Accounts... (Libertarians support liberty, therefore they’re thought criminals)
- Senate Dems Circulating Plans for Govt Takeover of Internet...
- 'Survival of our democracy' depends on banning sites...
Alex Jones’ websites, the ones I know about. Support him or the big guys will take away YOUR internet freedom:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
