YouTube removes Alex Jones' page, following bans from Apple and Facebook

Source: CNBC



YouTube has removed Alex Jones' page, following bans earlier Monday from Apple and Facebook.

The Alex Jones Channel, which counts 2.4 million subscribers, still appeared in YouTube search results by midday Monday, but presented only a take-down notice when users clicked in.

"This account has been terminated for violating YouTube's Community Guidelines," the notice says.

First Spotify and Apple, then Facebook, and now the biggie with Youtube.

The empire of bullshit collapses.

and plus I've heard enough of his stupid freedom of speech crap to last me a lifetime.

Guy is nothing but a gutter mouth, a liar, and simply an unfit human being.

Makes me insanely happy, about time! I hope this will help in his show being completely destroyed and anyone else who has a hate filled, conspiracy spewing, pro tRump/Russia agenda show as well. They all need to go. In a perfect world Faux News would be banned/shut down next.

peddles hate speech? Worthy of protection by any entity?

What is hate speech? You'll recognize it when you hear and see it, right Alex?

That little Seth Rich troofer, Hillary-has-secret-Parkinson's, "Let Trump win" faux-gressive weasel has been getting a pass for too long and his slate of candidates need to answer for and denounce their tinfoil mentor.

He's the Alex Jones of the alt left.

Jimmy Dore has issues that is FO SHO!

...He is exactly like those in the Conservative Media & within the TRUMP CULT...They have ZERO USE for evidence based facts, science, the truth, REALITY when these priceless problem solving tools show their preconceived ideas or beliefs are untrue or even BAT SHIT CRAZY! …So, once humans abandoned their mornings to REALITY then we get our Jimmy Dore, Alex Jones & the 10s of millions in the TRUMP CULT blindly following their DEAR LEADER TRUMP!!

screaming about Jones’ first amendment rights, not getting that it only applies to the government, and not private entities. I have also seen them wanting legislation saying that private companies have to carry all content equally. Yeah, idiots. It was called Net Neutrality, and you people shit all over it. You called it the internet’s Obamacare.

The alt right is up in arms over this as a violation of the First Amendment. But freedom of speech also protects the right to not have to say something. Private companies are perfectly within their rights to not help pass along speech with which they do not agree.
