Rest in Pieces, may the gay frogs take over the earth.

Edit: Also delisted from search.

 

[Teiresias]

Google and Youtube are dumpster fires, so I'd give this at least a month until we see if they get brought back.

 

[Veelk]

I can only imagine how much better the internet would be if platform holders just cut off it's most toxic elements like this. .

 

[enzo_gt]

Apple being a leader in making prosocial decisions for social media is suitable for this weirdest timeline we're in.

 

[Deleted member 29237]

So iTunes, Spotify, YouTube all in one day? Nice

 

[Charpunk]

I give it..... three days.

 

[studyguy]

So fucking incredibly late, to think there have been scores of shooting victim families harassed to the point of moving multiple times because of this bag of shit. That one family can't even visit their child's grave anymore. Imagine that, hounded from seeing the grave of your innocent kid all because some idiot called his mob on you.

Fuck him, I hope those lawsuits bury him.

It would be so much better. Hopefully Twitter and Reddit follow.

Oddly satisfying to read that

What's triggering this all of sudden?

 

[SegFault]

They actually did it.

I didn't believe they would.

 

[LiK]

Thank you Apple.

 

[mreddie]

Took them what 4 years?

 

[KrigareN-]

Exhibit A: Apple's power.

 

[Olaf]

Fucking illuminati...

 

[PBalfredo]

About fucking time

 

[Dwebble]

Far too late- the damage has been more than done.

 

[Interested Observer]

Was YouTube his main channel for spewing his bile?

Took them all to sit in the Hall of Doom and discuss Alex Jones' channel for this to happen.

 

[ReAxion]

now that the cool kids have done it...

 

[LinktothePastGOAT]

Wonder how long before it's back

Apple doing it finally made the others grow some fucking balls.

There isn't one event of his, just the continual hateful rhetoric I this climate. I'm sure some managers were mulling this over at Apple for years.

 

[Real Hero]

good but bit late for this now. the rot has set in

 

[alr1ght]

The only good thing that's happened due to following apple.

 

[Transistor]

Well, thanks be to Apple. They did the world a service.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Google must have been relieved to see Apple do it first without repurcussion.

 

[alr1ght]

[Deleted member 1041]

Is this the proper info wars channnel?

 

[MrSaturn99]

FINALLY.

 

[Paradoxal Utopia]

Sad that even in this area, Apple needs to show everyone how it's done. You'd think these pathetic and cowardly companies could have taken action on this without being guilted by Apple's initiative, since Apple has such a limited presence anyway in anything relating to social media and the damage that Alex Jones has been doing on Youtube was massive and long standing. Like ok Google, we get that with phones you need to lean on Apple to dictate all your design choices (notch), but you can't even get rid of Alex Jones without them doing it first?

 

[thefit]

Whait until they all cave to pressure from bot campaigns. Bots, another problem they created and fail to fix because of money.

 

[Camwi]

Get fucked, Alex Jones.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Hopefully they will shut down the channels that openly call for genocide but aren't english speaking.

 

[Nowise10]

Is Twitter the last main place now?

 

[SecondNature]

Why is this all suddenly happening and WHAT HAS TAKEN SO LONG

Infowars has been a plague fro way longuer than that.


Damage is done, but this is the right move.

His latest stuff seems to be even more unhinged than usual.

Alex Jones threatens Mueller: 'You're going to get it, or I'm going to die trying'

Took Apple pulling the plug on him for the others to finally do something.

 

[Deleted member 1248]

Imagine what the world could look like if moral obligations preceded profit motives.

 

[nature boy]

YouTube confirms the shutdown

Good riddance

 

[killerrin]

Wait, what. Seriously? I don't believe it. What's the catch?

 

[Cantaim]

Some good news to start the day with. I'll take it

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Google pushed into doing the right thing by fcking Apple.

Wtf is this timeline?

Happy result, but extremely upsetting that it took this long to happen.
