OK...well, this changes things:

A U.S. Senator calling for social media to ban more sites he doesn't like or agree with. That is different than a private company stating a user violated their TOS.

You think seeing ads and signs and commercials like that all over the place is a good thing?? I don't find those to be particularly flattering, but if you like em them you can have em. And this coordinated move by so many tech giants takes these sorts of things out of the realm of hyperbole and into valid criticism.

In general, shutting people up tends to backfire quite spectacularly. It makes your side look crooked and massively dishonest, authoritarian and underhanded. And like I've said about a dozen times, it makes a conspiracy theorist look credible.

“Crooked and massively dishonest”; that’s probaly the finest projection I’ve yet to see on this site.

Also, no one cares about what some smelly, shirtless hippy has to say about this topic.

...

We are talking about youtube, I'll make it clearer so you can understand what I meant.


Alex Jones has as much right to spew his hate as much as CNN, FOX, and all the rest of MSM to spew their fake, war pushing news on youtube.

Your kidding!


They just got the entire Gen Z and 1/2 of Millennials to tune in to his show, now that INFOwars is so taboo.


Social Media, just Red Pilled a Generation of young minds that hate to be told NO.

The fact that you compare AJ to any actual news organization, left or right, real or fictional is tragic.
Sadly CNN really has gotten that bad. They've been very "guilty until proven innocent" covering investigations into Trump. It may be bad enough that many Leftists sites are open for libel and slander lawsuits if and when Trump is cleared of all charges.

Alex Jones is a nut. CNN and the Democratic propagandist stack of news media act more professionally ... except Jim Acosta screaming and ranting in the White House press room of course. I will give you that. But silencing Jones for having the wrong opinions looks really bad, just as Trump ordering the CNN be taken off the air would look really bad.

But as your compatriots keep saying, they still have their website at cnn.com right?!? Nobody is silencing them! Am I right?

Too scared of what he might say to actually watch the video I see. Typical.

The gay couple did not have a right to the resources of the bakery that chose no to extend services due. It is their right as business owners.

No one is entitled to the services and resources owned by a private entity.

You are wrong. CNN, fox, info wars, etc are considered guests on YouTube platform and YouTube reserves the right to remove guests as they please. They have a TOS just as this site does.

What you propose is very much a modern liberal stance in business.

No, I’m just not a brain-dead moron who’d be captivated by it.
