The Case For Not Banning Alex Jones
Free speech is not the only issue here. Misuse of corporate power and discrimination are both just as important issues.

Forbidden Information
Silicon Valley is conspiring to crush InfoWars. Hopefully all the conspirators become full-time residents of federal penitentiaries in the near future!

Alex Jones Receives Massive Subscriber Boost
Alex Jones may be a conspiracy theorist, but the biggest conspiracy of our lifetimes was the propaganda campaign that led up to the invasion of Iraq. Keep that in mind before you support the ban of someone like Alex Jones who has the balls to speak out against the establishment. Not saying I agree with anything Alex Jones says, just that he should not be deplatformed.

The rhetoric is fiery. Is this a case of modern-day book burning? Is the anti_American establishment silencing dissent? Is free thought being stifled? These channel closures just an attempt to squash the competition? Who's really behind this? Will Facebook and YouTube wind up restoring the InfoWars accounts? Or will they go after more cultural dissidents?

Twitter has temporarily suspended infowars’ Alex Jones
Twitter caves to the pressure, but so far they are only banning InfoWars temporarily.

Exclusive: Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Addresses Alex Jones ‘Timeout’ Decision
Will InfoWars regain control of their Twitter account after seven days or is this just a step toward banning them?

Gotta wonder if Alex Jones isn't really working for the other side... Alex Jones is probably working for Alex Jones. I do think he does a poor job of representing patriots and it is likely that he is keeping more effective people from rising to the top. So it could be that he is taking one for the other team, making anyone with similar ideals look like conspiracy nuts. But it's probably more likely that it's just greed and his ego getting in the way!

Facebook admits PragerU videos were 'mistakenly removed'
The censorship continues. These videos got restored, but only after the group filed a complaint.
