LMAO, isn't that what you accuse "lefties" of saying?

Oh, the irony ...


No one's tongue has been cut out, literally or figuratively.

Why is this so hard for you to understand?


Wow. And what does this post say about you?



They had congressional hearings over these "private companies creating a monopoly. Is your memory lacking?


It sounds like you are more worried about the messenger, than the message and making a point of educating me. Attack mode of the TDS.

How did you manage to pack so many falsehoods into one sentence? Um ... congratulations?

We legislate and regulate for "what-ifs" all the time. Otherwise we'd not have many regulations at all.

No... Just all wrong. How can AJ be a competitor of YT and at the same time claim censorship?

I ask again... Are for or against business rights and small government? Are you for against the ruling for the bakery?

Bingo. This is why CNN is pushing for Apple to remove the Infowars App from Itunes. Infowars is now more popular than CNN.


It's backfired spectacularly in the elites faces.

Because they are afraid of what he might say.
They have no intellectual competition to refute what is said.
They treat you like children, because they think, that you cannot think for yourselves.
They are going to think for you. They think you are stupid and have no mind or logical reasoning.
They are going to do it for you.

Again...sherman act doesn't apply here. There was no collusion against YT platform competitors.

Standard Oil was one company. YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are not, and therefore cannot be considered a monopoly. There is no collusion, because all three have not acted against the same TOS violations at the same time.

I believe a good dictionary is in order here.

Yup.. Standard oil colluded with railroads to stifle other oil companies. AJ and INFOwars isn't a media platform.

And that is where they ****ed up.
It proved they are publishers, in collusion with each other, in competition with Jones publishing. It was a conflict of their interest, without a crime being committed in the communications industry, to remove all his content over. Not just the content that violated federal law and state law.

It's a platform for a raving lunatic.

50-60 years ago, he'd already have been institutionalized.
