Facebook Follows YouTube's Lead, Blocks Alex Jones' Pages

Just days after YouTube barred Alex Jones from live-streaming for 90 days, and President Trump stepped into the Twitter 'shadowbanning' of conservatives fiasco, CNBC reports that Facebook - amid their worst week ever - has banned InfoWars' Alex Jones from posting for 30 days.



Several Facebook pages tied to Alex Jones, including the official pages for Infowars and Alex Jones himself, are close to being removed from the platform for violating its community standards multiple times, a Facebook spokesperson told CNBC.

Jones' personal account was temporarily banned from Facebook Thursday for 30 days after it was found responsible for uploading four videos that went against community standards. The clips were posted on different pages operated by Infowars and Alex Jones. Jones had previously been warned he could be blocked by Facebook for other infractions, according to a Facebook spokesperson.

One of the removed videos shows a man shoving a child on the ground to "prevent liberalism," while another discusses drag queens in a crude fashion and suggests they are child sexual predators. Another suggests Muslim people have "conquered" Europe, and will kill everyone and sexually assault women.

These are reportedly the same four videos were also removed earlier in the week by YouTube, which also barred Jones from live streaming for 90 days.

There is a reason that Free Speech is the First Amendment. It is the MOST Important Right a People can have. It enables us to discuss problems and find solutions. It is the Foundation of Revolution, as revolution comes in three stages: Communication, Public Disobedience, and finally Violence. When that critical stage of Communication is refused, it results in the Second Stage, Public Disobedience, the same way as making anything illegal only creates a Black Market for it. When Freedom is Outlawed, only Outlaws will have Freedom.

The Counter Argument to this is that both Facebook and YouTube are considered Private Property, and those companies have as much of a Right to decree that they will not host content by Alex Jones. This is just as true as the importance of Free Speech itself.

Let the Debate begin.

What this shows me is that Alex Jones speaks too much truth and they need to shut him up.

This only makes his base stronger.

[Aratus]

It certainly reinforces ALEX JONES's "bad boy" image!

youtube and facebook are private corporations and can ban/block/delete whoever they want.

I agree, but they are not immune and should also be criticized and revealed for their anti liberty bias.

[juleswin]

If I owned facebook or google, I will do something similar to a ban. Alex Jones is the biggest peddler of junk news, many naive and ill informed liberty minded people are led astray on daily bases because of their disinfo outlet.

People like Alex Jones makes it harder to recruit people to the side of liberty and silencing him(if it doesn't turn him into a martyr) will give liberty a big shot in the arm in the most ironic possible.

Yes! True liberty can only be found by silencing others, comrade!

You have to approach every problem on a case by case basis. Some fires u fight with water others u fight with fire. Sadly in the case of AJ, u need to censor the hell out of him to kill his idiocy pretending to be liberty news.

I will add that ideally, the best response to Alex Jones is to kidnap him, torture him(I will volunteer for the job) and get to confess to who his masters are. Phone messages, emails, pay cheques stubs, bank info will all be presented as evidence of his crime against the American people. That way the people he has mentally captured with his broadcast can be released from his spell.

The commoner can't distinguish between fact and fiction, the world needs good censors like you...

I also get.. it's about time.. he kept saying that FB was just a CIA cesspool anyway.. what the hell was he on there for anyway?

Yeah...so?

They can do that...in light of what's happening to FedBook's stock and investors, maybe they shouldn't do that.

Was going to flag this post, but it goes against my grain to do that.

You might want to reword that, however, because in my mind, it crosses the threat threshold.

[Anti Globalist]

Well sucks for him.

Very true, like the saying goes "one can never underestimate the stupidity of the common man".

Not until she too leads interrogation, summary trials and execution of thousands of "class enemies".

Youtube is owned by google which is a front for US intelligence and Mugbook was directly created by US intelligence.

I have looked at that post a couple of times now and I just cant see how else to reword it. The point I am making it to treat every encounter you experience according to that particular case. Reevaluate all the factors, the dangers they present and the consequences of your action. This applies to just about everything not just Alex Jones and the disinfo news agency.

So you want the rule of law to give way to the subjective rule of a tyrant?

You are unfit to ever be in charge of anything let alone a country.

Jules is the #1 example of how broken the rep system is, his full green bar instead of a full red one is also a testament to the power of the leftist troll network around here.

Censoring isn't the right answer, although infowars is indeed junk. Also " the conspiracy theorist is merely playing a character when he speaks via his InfoWars channels."

This should play well to his audience

[devil21]

Seems censorship, both of real sources and controlled opposition sources, is increasing lately.
