Yeah, but that video was totally worth them banning him.

The video that was posted right above your original post

that doesn't make sense, it's a reaction video to his getting the boot. Wasn't B referring to a video that caused the banning?

i should clarify that i'm in the waiting room at the car dealership getting an oil change, so no way am i pressing play on an Alex Jones video.

It's not censorship. Companies can make whatever rules they want and boot whomever they want.

I understand that Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are so widely used that it feels like censorship, but it's not.

I think he's saying that the video of Alex Jones freaking out and yelling "GRAWRRRR" makes the entire ordeal worth it

Well it is censorship, it's just not government censorship. Certainly within their rights, but Should they censor, though?

I think they are establishing a precedent, and will use it more frequently in the future. It's concerning that this seemed coordinated as well.

All hail our techno overlords.

Did AJ shave his beard? Probably too much manliness.

Maybe more people will stop using social media in disgust and we'll all be better off.

They have to right to do what they are doing, just like the NFL has the right to do what they are doing with the anthem protests.

It seems like a bunch of people who so dearly love their private ownership rights and free markets would understand this.

I already said that!

Really?

He looked the same twenty years ago. He will probably look the same on twenty years.

Maybe he's the real interdimensional space reptilian.
