This is where you are wrong my friend. Alex Jones audience has suffered on the popular private platforms that banned him. Please don't be under the delusion that he has lost any of his core followers.
The fact that you cannot see them on your platforms does not mean that he is out or lost followers. He simply moved to platforms that you do not visit or are not that much visible on the open internet. The internet does exist outside of FAANG.
- anarazel 8y agoIt's a significant difference whether you can become an infowars listener by watching a video on youtube that has infowars content as the next suggested title, or whether you need to explicitly search it out.
- spiderfarmer 8y agoAmen. There are many studies that show people were radicalized simply by browsing Youtube on autopilot.
- quantummkv 8y agoIt does definitely speed up the process. But that's about it. You can still share the actual content. A follower of Jones can share content and information on messaging applications to others, for example. Unless tech companies start scanning and retroactively deleting content from user's devices, there is no stopping to this. Even then word of mouth is a very effective and time tested way. Silk Road was very active and successful despite any social media presence. tl;dr any tech solution to this problem is only gonna end up blowing in everyone's faces. Find some other ways.
