You have more faith in human rationality than I do at this point. Making his content harder to get will reduce his legitimacy. Con men and frauds should not be treated with respect or debated. Also, Jones specifically used his platform to abuse people, so this is not just about being full of shit all the time.

- vixen99 8y agoYou sum it all up very nicely!
- jimejim 8y agoYou and others didn't read my last sentence and keep hiding behind childish free speech absolutism. Jones specifically used his platform to abuse people. He should have been banned a long time ago. This isn't just about his conspiracy theories.
- forgottenpass 8y ago>Making his content harder to get will reduce his legitimacy. The hegemony trying to shut up someone's political speech only decreases legitimacy across people that were never going to believe him in the first place. For everyone else, the conspiracy theory that The Powers That Be don't want anyone to hear his message just became conspiracy fact thanks to YouTube, Apple et al.
- jimejim 8y agoJones is going to whine about being a victim regardless, since that's part of his character. He should be treated the same way nazi websites are and make it harder for him to make a profit off his bullshit. As I said though, he used his platform to abuse people and should have been banned a long time ago, regardless of his lame conspiracy theories.
- erik_seaberg 8y ago"They don't want you to hear this" gives a lot of credibility to ideas that don't deserve it.
