It has nothing to do with the "political climate". It has everything to do with the fact most people don't want to listen nut-jobs all day. In fact, in a free market it would appear people seem to prefer platforms that banish the nut jobs.
- dreta 8y agoit has everything to do with the current political climate, and the fact that extremist views on one side are tolerated, while ones on the other are actively being fought against if you don't want to listen to "nut jobs", you don't have to, nobody's shoving Alex Jones in your face, but banning people you find objectionable sets up a dangerous precedent
- spookthesunset 8y agoI'm sorry you feel that way but maybe the invisible hand of the free market has decided that it just isn't profitable for large companies to provide platforms for people like Alex Jones. You should be happy to live in a world where a business is allowed to make decisions that act in their rational best interest instead of being forced by government to do something that doesn't make sense to their bottom line. Maybe Mr. Jones can build his own content distribution channels? If he can't, maybe his ideas just aren't that popular and his business should fail? And for what it's worth, Alex Jones supporters spread like a cancer through sites that allow it. The community surrounding him and those like him are often more toxic then the founders.
