If you send Alex Jones a submission on how great Hillary Clinton is, do you think it’ll get posted on infowars? No Does that mean Alex Jones is limiting your free speech’s by denying you access to his platform?
You can argue that Facebook, Apple and twitter are bigger platforms, but the principal is really the same.
Free speech is the right to say what you want, the way you want it, without being procecuted by the government or murdered by a violent mob.
Free speech is not the right to be heard.
I see the problem of the idea of huge media platforms banning content, but only as an idea. Alex Jones is a hate mongering asshole, that while entertaining, is also dangerous. When infowars ran a piece on the Sandy Hook tradegy, labeling it as a false flag and the victims as actors, some of those parents who lost their children received death threats. Some of those parents are still in hiding today, thanks to infowars and their insane audience.
I don’t think the free world, or free speech, suffered anything from this asshole being banned from iTunes.
- nailer 8y agoI don't think Infowars has ever advertised itself an a non-political way for people to connect with each other.
