Youtube shuts down InfoWars channel (Alex Jones' den of wisdom).

Nah. Dude should have been exiled right after his Sandy Hook theory. Fuck that.
Financial consequences, no.
Just need to make sure they up security at their campuses. Same goes for Google/YT and Facebook.
There is some weird shit on YouTube. I often fall asleep to let's plays only to wake up and auto play has subjected sleeping me to hours of trump speeches.
Fuck Google.
And Reddit,
Horrible tech bros who don't give half a shit about how their actions affect others.
As someone who no longer use anything Apple and switch from Apple to basically all the competition,
No argument at all.
i may have given them shit for their shitty practices and what I found to be their subpar products, at least they are not totally moral bankrupted for ubber capitalist assholes.
Cheers to Apple, the best of the alphabet megacorps by a huge margin.
YouTube (and others) only did it when Apple did it because it would only make them look bad to allow him a platform while someone else finally didn't. Had Apple not done it, I bet these companies would be perfectly content with keeping InfoWars around. YouTube is one of the more prominent example of giving shitty people a platform so long as they bring in enough traffic for revenue. Facebook is another.
Actually those websites are awesome at closing unwanted content.
Kinda amusing seeing 1st Amendment fundamentalists going nuts over a company exercising their 1st Amendment rights
Came for this lol
Also YouTube/ google are cowards and trash for keeping his channel up for so long.
It's essentially a conspiracy theory channel, but it was really popular and did a lot of damage.
It's hilarious how true this is. Even if YouTube wanted to ban him, which I highly doubt, they essentially screwed themselves over by saying "oh, well he only has one strike against him though, we gotta follow the rules!"
He's been around since the mid 90s. Came into the light a lot more during Obama's presidency and really skyrocketed during the Benghazhi & Sandy Hook shit.
"I don't like Trump but the censorship of Infowars by the elites is going to make me vote for him."
The slippery slope argument really fails here. There's years and years of flagrant ToS violations by Infowars and mountains of evidence that they're spreading damaging lies that they know are lies.

Yup. These companies are mostly chickenshits who only care about money. They wouldn't have done this without Apple's decision pressuring them to follow suit. Fucking cowards.
The "Look what you made me do!" brand of apologism, as I like to call it.
Hey, here's Infowars' take on this (aka Book burning, election tampering, the REAL COLLUSION):
That reminds me: is there really any difference in a private or public company enforcing their TOS?
Oh. I am crying. Please more fallout from this and more companies take a fucking responsibility in the shit they allowed. Principles and EVIDENCE based things should be allowed to be mainstream not shit from Alex jones and his ilk. Fuck him, and fuck all others like him spewing garbage.
I think it was a joke based on all those gun channels YT clapped down on a few months ago showing up on Pornhub.
Google has to copy everything from Apple don't they.
Won't say good going g Google but "about damn time", they just, as always, copy Apple first, while that vile POS had 4 years to make money on their services.
