    Qualify a stated absolute? So we're arguing semantics or did you really not understand what I was saying?

    It doesn't matter what your definition of "hate speech" is here... it matters what YouTube's and Facebooks, etc. definition is and it is their right to refuse service to anyone they choose.

    Hey, Spuds..you stated that there was no sex or violence, I simply disagreed.

    As to the other issue, you are legally correct. While I am not a fan of Jones's work, I do take offense to anyone being singled out based on political leanings.

    You and I do not agree on this, so be it. Peace and love, live long and prosper or what ever tidings you prefer.

    I am certain there is tons of right leaning content on YouTube, Facebook etc... - he was not singled out based on political leaning, he was based for repeatedly violating the TOS.

    Okay in an effort to be concise I didn't mention the qualifiers listed in the Terms of Service that I linked.

    This is where we disagree, while I do think he was banned for his political leanings I don't think he was singled out. I try to eat a whole food plant based diet so I watch a lot of vegan cooking shows for new recipes. A couple years ago I got sucked into watching all this drama unfold amongst the YouTube vegan/raw vegan/bike riding community where people were actually threatening bodily harm! It was hilarious!!! And, no lie, like 3 or 4 of these non-violent no-animal killing channels got shut down and never came back because they violated the Terms of Service.

    Agreed. Very cool and same to you! :smiley-thumbup:

    The article I read continually quoted "hate speech". Dunno, man. Seems odd that all four platforms would spontaneously act in the same manner, with the same pronouncement.

    see Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey....all the movie and television industries dumped them in a matter of hours simultaneously...it's marketing and management...both of them were registered democrats....shit happens...ever wonder why Sunday morning broadcasts on TV don't have Wicca rituals followed by televangelists? Because the Sunday morning viewers will stop viewing...

    Hmm, I dated a gal that thought Prince was all that and a bag of chips. Had see him once, I think the only thing I enjoyed was his female guitar player.

    Yeah..hard to feel ya on this comparison. I see a big difference between a guy that has done the same shtick for years and a guy that gets caught being a perv.

    Those of you that are saying Alex Jones is "harmless" and should be taken with "a grain of salt" are not paying attention. A man literally brought an assault rifle to a pizza parlor to free child sex slaves from the basement they were being held. There is no basement. There are no children. Alex Jones promoted Pizzagate. Someone could have been killed.

    I love that his material has been banned from these platforms. He's an insane and dangerous voice. Fuck him and fuck his followers. In this day and age such divisiveness people like him SHOULD be silenced.

    I honestly thought she played circles around him. I would say he was a good showman though. I know he came from a musical back ground, so could be the genius was in has writing and composing?

    So, then, everyone should be in lock step with your beliefs. Sounds reasonable.

    ...yup, and on top of that he reportedly could play 27 different instruments...I know that on his first album "Just For You", he played virtually every heard on the album. Stevie Wonder did the same thing on "Inner Visions"
    ...in addition to writing a lot of hit songs for other artists, Prince wrote and produced most all of his own stuff ...he pretty much did it all. A true musical genius... They also say he was a helluva basketball player.

    Sorry but Alex Jones isn't responsible for the actions of others. Adults don't need other adults filtering information for them because...adults aren't children. Your assertion is the same as the conservative extremists who were trying to ban Ozzy Osbourne in the 80's. It's obnoxious, hysterical bullshit.
