- s9w 7y agoPeople have been punished here for answering a very similar question to yours (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19945640 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19945640). Even mentioning Alex Jones is very risky. And depending on the answer to your question might actually get you sued, at least in europe. It's become impossible to say things you're legally allowed to anywhere but very fringe places on the web. [inb4 "private company etc etc": Sites can police speech as they want. Still it's a shame.]
