He's a joke and he's been a joke for years.
But I guess we should take him off social media and let him and his kind go off onto their own island and only talk to themselves. Surely that will change their minds..
Oh, Jesus Christ.
This shit.

Remember guys, you get to have a platform on Twitter even if you're harrasing greaving parents and sending death threats...
... as long as those didn't happen on Twitter.
Should police reports be sent to Facebook to ensure bad guys get their social media profiles banned?
Banning people for actions that didn't take place on the platform..
You know.. like the post I was responding to talked about.
You do know that pedophiles aren't allowed on Facebook (for example), right?Should police reports be sent to Facebook to ensure bad guys get their social media profiles banned?
I hope Twitter becomes a haven for the ugliest parts of the internet and just destroys the company.
The legal system will deal with Alex Jones.. Nazis.. etc..
Why does Twitter need to ban them?
I don't understand all this want for censorship.
It most definitely is censorship.
I never said it was a freedom of speech issue.

Jack would've made sure Charles Manson had a blue check given the opportunity lbr
For the thousandth time, that shit isn't censorship. Why can't people get that?
Twitter can do whatever it wants, as they seem to be doing, but they are being pure shitheels. They are trying to avoid any/all responsibility as a platform.
No, it 100% isn't.
Just because I don't want you on my platform, or refuse to publish your book, blog, podcast, etc. doesn't mean it is censorship. At all.
I guess if I violate the ToS of ERA and post links to piracy, that is censorship.
No I had no idea. How is that enforced? They proactively ban people on the registry?
Do you think that should be expanded? Should Mike Tyson be allowed on Facebook? (Convicted rapist)
Enforcing all this seems to be a crazy line..
Yes.. it is. That is literally what censorship is.
I'm not going to debate this. Consult a dictionary.
I mean, it's their choice. If you don't like it, stop supporting Twitter.
However, I am curious about ERA's opinion on the whole "freedom of speech" argument. Everywhere else I post is split on the Alex Jones debate. The people against it keep talking about how it goes against freedom of speech. Personally, I understand Youtube and such are a business and they do not have to abide if they do not like it. Some people can't wrap this around their head.
It's not.Yes.. it is. That is literally what censorship is.

It just seems like people want Alex Jones banned from Twitter for things he's said on his show.. not on Twitter. I could be wrong... I'm not an Alex Jones follower..
I don't think putting the left and right in their own online echo chambers is going to help anything. In fact I think that's how we got where we are now. Cable news echo chambers.

I never said they didn't have a right to censor. Facebook and twitter can do whatever they want. I didn't say it was a freedom of speech issue. I just don't think it's the correct way to go about things.

2 and 1 go hand in hand even though i would not call em idiots that would be an insult to actual idiots.Anyone who thinks this is a free speech issue is either
- An idiot
- A disingenuous Alex Jones fan
- Both

Oh, there is no doubt they have been. It's comical they are trying to hide behind, hey it's your job to discredit it. I mean, just pause for a brief moment and think about the ramifications of that. I can post damn near any crazy crap on Twitter and it should be the job of others to refute it. Bold approach.

I'm sure if we said the stuff Alex Jones says about the Sandy Hook parents about Jack we'd all be banned in short order.Oh, there is no doubt they have been.

I mean.. I can't believe I have to do this..
Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient" as determined by a government or private institution.
What you seem to be missing is Alex Jones' speech isn't being suppressed. He is still able to make said speech, he just cannot do it on my platform.
I wrote a book, I demand that Random House publish it, if they don't is that censorship? Shit isn't hard man.
Lul. Seriously, I can't even.And that is called private censorship or corporate censorship..
Censorship would be not allowing him to say those horrible things in the first place, not banning him for saying those horrible things. Consequences ain't censorship.I mean.. I can't believe I have to do this..

So everyone has to listen to every viewpoint an opinion at all times on all platforms no matter the personal expense or situation, or else they are being censoredAnd that is called private censorship or corporate censorship..
Now go on and post the definition of institution.I mean.. I can't believe I have to do this..

Corporate censorship is censorship by corporations, the sanctioning of speech by spokespersons, employees, and business associates by threat of monetary loss, loss of employment, or loss of access to the marketplace.
