Everyone wants to see what the big deal is about him...... RED PILLED the uninfluenced, immediately!!!! = BACKFIRE!!!!!!!.


#1 News app for 3 days straight.
Yesterday, he had over 26 million unique viewers and listeners, worldwide.

Social media just Red Pilled, Gen Z and the other 1/2 of everyone else that had no clue who he is.

You realize that is not what is happening here, don't you?

I'm going to assume that this post is wishful thinking. Most people in this country have heard of Alex Jones and they either think he's a conspiracy nut, oddly entertaining, or they actually believe his crap, which he himself has stated is just entertainment... so, he does not believe it himself.

How anyone could think it's okay for someone to harass the grieving families of dead schoolchildren to the point at which his followers are harassing them and they are forced to continually move around to avoid being harassed is beyond me.

Takes a cold, uncaring person to support that sort of thing.

Now, if someone watches him because they find him funny, entertaining, etc and they realize he's not telling the truth, well... that's different and to each his/her own.

I'm flattered that you don't charge me rent, for taking up so much space in your head.
This thread is not about little `ol me.


Sounds like you mad! Jones popularity rises and you have to take your frustration out on someone.

Rightwingers: When a bigot wedding cake company refuses to bake a cake for gays, they love it. When a media company refuses to distribute right-wing lies and hatred, they get angry. Hypocrites.

If you righties want an audience, try earning one with something other than lies and hate-mongering, because the 1st Amendment does not guarantee you an audience.

LOL! Yes. City Data is not a content provider like Facebook, and Youtube. They are in fact an editing publisher.
That is why no personal attacks(defamation- libel- threats), no threats, no bickering. They can in fact be sued for the content on these here forums.

Naw, they all colluded to do it on the same day, when the content is different on each platform.
Anti-trust racketeering.

You think that if (for example) BentBow posts a bunch of lunacy on the P&OC forum, City-Data is liable because they are not protected by 230?

Man, you are seriously out of your depth here.

There is numerous options for hosting including colocation in datacenter which should fall under "critical infrastructure". Utilizing cloudflare's service you can effectively hide the host anyway.

And Anonymous hackers hacked in regardless to if Cloudflare was in the picture or not.
No public facing server is ever 100% safe however if it set up correctly along with other measures that is very difficult. Briefly you basically firewall everything except your own personal IP's for whatever you may need like SSH ports and Cloudflares IP's over ports 80 and 443. All traffic to the server is either from you or first routed through Cloudflare's network, everything else gets dropped. This is also critical to prevent DDOS attacks because if you cannot hide the IP of the origin server the Cloudflare service becomes useless.



Ports 80 and 443 serve http requests for web pages. For a hacker get past that point would require you have vulnerable script they could exploit. Cloudflare will block a lot of exploits and behind that is whatever you yourself have employed on the origin server.

Previously you said ANYONE should have freedom on the internet
I'm not sure why you would think that would include something deemed illegal by the law or a judge.

But here is the thing, even public utilities have terms of use and could very well end service at anytime for abuse
You can't be denied water service because you are racist and the water company disagrees with it.

Looking over the history on Wikipedia it appears they have made numerous TLD's changes since 2017 and are having great amount of difficulty holding onto them.

For the record the only site Cloudflare has dropped is the Daily Stormer. The CEO cites their insinuation that Cloudflare supported their activities. I would imagine the purpose was to make a example of them so other sites don't make the same mistake.
