It reminds me of the day that Twitter, Facebook, and the Apple store all banned Alex Jones on the same day and then denied they were working together to do it.

It reminds me of the day that Twitter, Facebook, and the Apple store all banned Alex Jones on the same day and then denied they were working together to do it. Then they called anyone who had a problem with that a "conspiracy theorist".
I mean, that was literally the definition of a conspiracy. It isn't a theory. It was more of a "conspiracy fact".
- paulryanrogers 5y agoThe phrase has become loaded. Widely accepted theories seem to often just get called conspiracies, even if not proven enough to satisfy a court.
- markandrewj 5y agoThey didn't deny it. Alex Jones was banned from these platforms for spreading conspiracy rhetoric. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-infowars-idUSKCN1LO04G https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-infowars-idUSKCN1LO... https://www.vox.com/2018/8/6/17655658/alex-jones-facebook-youtube-conspiracy-theories https://www.vox.com/2018/8/6/17655658/alex-jones-facebook-yo...
