Maybe it’s time starts making cakes for homosexual couples instead.
Not going to continue to serve as a platform for his outrageous lies and false conspiracy theories, in other words.

I mean, isn’t that how liberals are? They hate Alex Jones but they love antifa.
Why do you believe that Liberals love antifa? I'm liberal and I don't know any other of our ilk (and believe me I know a lot) that even likes, much less loves, antifa.
Why do you people do this? Doesn't being wrong on a consistent basis wear a little thin or, at a minimum, give you pause that maybe your reason for believing could be wrong?

Wow. I can not either. I would have guessed 58-60. He looks like hell for a 44 year old.
I thought surely it was a joke that Jones was only 44. Holy Crap! Flagpole is right. Jones looks 60 years old.
More than good with that solution. Without the "help" of tech companies the u.s. government would be much less capable in surveiling their own citizens, bombing innocent civilians with drones, and dragneting undocumented individuals. Getting Amazon on the list of tech companies that couldn't get govt. contracts would help even more.

How about NO government contracts for any company discriminating based on political affiliation? Sounds fair. That's how Liberals do most of their social engineering via Federal funding.
Oh, and BTW, it's actually illegal to discriminate based on political affiliation in CA where many of these companies are based, so this may be a violation of CA law already.
If Alex Jones doesn't like it here, he can move to Russia

Yep, he's definitely only 44. It's ridiculous ?

Of course, but are there FCC regulations prohibiting them from removing someone/something for violating their policies.
If not, there will be sooner or later. Ultimately it will boil down to the fact that they serve as a communication medium and must respect the privacy rights of those who use it.
Analogously, it's like someone calling in to a talk radio show, saying something their phone company didn't like and having their phone disconnected. Once a form of telecom becomes ubiquitous, the FCC will protect the public's right to access over the company's right to regulate content.
An example of pending changes are Facebook's attempts to verify account holders for political ads. This is a result of political pressure and is completely out of the scope of current regulations, which apply only to wireless broadcast and print media, as Mueller damn well knows. But if Facebook wants to act like FEC rules apply to their ads, candidates will start demanding the equal access they are guaranteed under those rules. For example, if your radio station runs a candidate's ad, you're required to contact their opponents and offer them the opportunity to run ads too. If you have a candidate on your talk show, you must offer equal time to their opponents. If Facebook lets a candidate have a page, they'll have to let all their opponents have pages too, if they insist on applying the rules.
Jones could usher that issue into public debate by filing to run for office.
It's almost impossible to go too far, but this guy did.
It requires no talent on that side of the aisle. You don't have to make any type of coherent argument. Just take everything to the impossible extreme and all the Q-ullible types will lap it up and demand more.
The book "Blinded by the Right" was first evidence of that. David Brock described beautifully how frenzied the right wing had become, and especially when women in places of power were at issue. That's why I always sensed Hillary would probably lose if the margin was tight. Brock detailed that right wing magazines in the '90s found out quickly that all they had to do to boost sales well beyond normal level was to mock a prominent woman on the cover.
Democrats have unwittingly gone along with that by maintaining Pelosi as house lead for so long.

Ok. So lets grant that Alex Jones went too far and is now banned from all the major publicly owned social media platforms. Are there any other people who have gone too far and should be banned as well? Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Savage, Trump, NRA? Now that we’re colluding to ban individuals and their companies from online media we should know what the rules are so we know who will be allowed to speak and who will be blacklisted for the good of The Party, oops, good of the country. Who else gets banned? Where does it stop?

I am no fan of banning free speech, but as I said earlier, these companies have every right to ban him. He can create his own broadcast company and broadcast that way if he likes. Jones is in a different situation than the others you mentioned as he isn't an employee of a broadcast company but relied on other avenues that he didn't control or work for.
If the government ever told any of those people, INCLUDING Jones that they couldn't broadcast or publish, then I would have a big problem with that.

So you think there was nothing wrong with the Hollywood blacklisting of suspected Communists because it was done by private companies? You are not bothered by this at all?
Who else should be blacklisted? Cmon guys. You’re usually quick to point out who the bad guys on the right are. Don’t get shy on me now. Put on your jack boots and tell us who to blacklist.
Should I be blacklisted?

So recently Mark Zuckerberg was asked why he did not take down content on Facebook that suggested holocaust denial. He said it could stay up as the author thought the content was right. Now who is to say the fella does not believe his content. I think people are seeing this as a disjointed, cherry picking from these dangerously powerful companies. They are playing God wit our information and this will be bad ultimately from all of us.
It's not a question of silencing.
Never did care for Jone' paranoiac journalism style
during the Art Bell days.
Essentially, the powers that be need to get rid of them.
that includes Noory and Clyde Lewis. Junk journalism,
or fake news is poisoning our society.
Don't worry December 14, 2018 is when the more
stringent regulations take place.

Conservatives do realize they control all branches of the federal govt correct? Change the laws/enforce the laws/ create the laws if you feel unjustly oppressed. I’ve never seen a group of people with so much power claim To be so oppressed. Oh that’s right, there are mailroom staff entrenched in the federal govt that are controlling everything. Say it, say that thing, deep state, ooh I get shivers.
I question why conservatives are so upset about a private company acting on within the law to further their business interests.

Yes, you should. The Broncos have terms of service that you continually violate. I have no idea why they haven't blacklisted you already.
I don't think you should be blacklisted from a job based on political affiliation. Jones wasn't kicked off of Facebook for any political affiliation but for breaking site rules.
