Apple took a stand, so everyone else started following suit.
Cue Joe Rogan offering Alex an exclusive interview and Joe agreeing with him on everything.
Not trying to defend him, but its logical that it took so long. The internet is a hotbed of pro-neutrality, free spreech and unlimited information. As a company, to limit someone's right to express themselves in their medium of choosing whatever their content, they have to be ready for any form of criticism and outrage. All 4 companies doing so in unison suggests a united front for this action, and I hope to god they do. Because those 3 points I mentioned will surely be covered by the right in these or more ways:
-Why silence someone like this?
-Why should net neutrality exist when the platform owners themselves are censoring content themselves?
-Why are these companies taking a politcal stance against us?
This is gonna be the big one, I truly think so. Its finally gonna move people off their asses and hopefully make these companies understand that support from the consumer base will only come when the moral compass is not completely fucked.
Apple is so big thay repercussions wouldn't do shit to them when it comes to banning people like him.
As someone who no longer use anything Apple and switch from Apple to basically all the competition,
Came for this lol
It's essentially a conspiracy theory channel, but it was really popular and did a lot of damage.Is it wrong if I have no clue who Alex Jones is? Same for "Infowars". :/

Is it wrong if I have no clue who Alex Jones is? Same for "Infowars". :/
"I don't like Trump but the censorship of Infowars by the elites is going to make me vote for him."
World Exclusive Alex Jones Responds To Being Banned From The Internet
THE REAL REASON APPLE, FACEBOOK, SPOTIFY & YOUTUBE BANNED INFOWARS
– Infowars is widely credited with having played a key role in electing Donald Trump. By banning Infowars, big tech is engaging in election meddling just three months before crucial mid-terms.
– With the Infowars ban, Apple, Facebook , Spotify & YouTube (Google) have all now ascribed themselves the power to remove people & outlets from their platforms based on their political opinions. This power will be abused time and time again to meddle in elections.
– The ban also sets the precedent that the mere charge alone of having committed "hate speech," with no specific examples even provided, is enough to memory hole an individual or group's digital presence.
– The ban is just part of a wider censorship purge that also use stealth censorship, shadow banning and algorithmic manipulation to hide and bury conservative content.
– Apple also chose to shut down Infowars after we repeatedly criticized them for working with and selling data to the Communist Chinese government. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
For conservative media outlets who don't speak out because they don't like Infowars, we have a message for you – you're next.
Facebook banned Infowars after lobbying by both CNN and Democratic Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL). This isn't "just a private company," this is brazen political censorship.
This is the outcome of the left refusing to debate their ideas and simply no platforming their adversaries instead.
This is the modern day electronic equivalent of book burning.
This is throwing dissidents in the Big Tech gulag because their voices were becoming too loud and having too much influence.
This is the purge. This is election meddling and COLLUSION.
It will only intensify unless lawmakers act now to introduce a Digital Bill of Rights and treat social media giants as telecommunications companies who are forbidden by law from discriminating against people and media outlets based on their political opinions.
Actually those websites are awesome at closing unwanted content.
