    Jones certainly isn't happy that his channel on Youtube got taken down. He probably thought he'd have it back by now.

    The reasons for his channel take down were the most ridicules. YT so far still hasnt taken down the pro Jihadist propagandist videos that exist on YT. Since YT allows that kind of stuff being allowed then its only fair they bring back his channel no?

    I am against censorship but, is youtube a public utility or a private website? If they are considered private I suppose they can kick anyone off that they see fit. If they are public then AJ should be able to have a channel there. The left really got a bad hatred for him and they did everything they could to silence AJ. They would silence us all if they could and force everyone to agree with the BS they want us to believe fortunately for now thye don't have that much power. We do need to be watchful....

    Alex's channel should never have been closed, his faults aside.
    Youtube functions as a public utility , no one should be banned from any public forum,
    for anything less than a criminal offence committed on 'that' channel.

    Google works hand in hand with China to withhold, buffer, and censor communication,
    control speech, and manipulate the thoughts of a Billion plus Chinese. China has also
    moved in on Hollywood and is set to revise our entire history, eliminate key players
    of our heritage and replace them with characters favorable to their agenda, an agenda
    that most plan or hope to 'wish' away.

    I am sorry for Alex Jones and others. AJ was on youtube for years and I watched him when he was on there. I still go watch him just to find out what he is saying about things. I buy several of his products as well. I would imagine AJ has lost a lot of viewers since being banned from youtube.
    what could Trump do about it? I think youtube would like to ban all channels that portray Trump in a good light or talk about the things we debate here. But they would lose too many viewers they lost some viewers by banning AJ but no doubt most of them came back. He pissed off a bunch of people over Sandy Hook and the gun grabbers did not like it. These people have a lot of power and they have not stopped fighting to ban guns, I wonder if we have the strength to keep fighting it. We better if we know what's good for us.

    I have seen that someone does up load some of AJ's stuff to youtube it gets taken down too. I know he does allow people to download and spread his recordings. I think there is a way AJ could repackage his message and let someone else deliver it but, will he?

    David Knight ( @Libertytarian ) is one of my favorite Infowars reporters, he had been cancelled on Youtube for repeating SacBee article written about Hillary. It was, of course, satire but that didn't matter, he was banned without notice last year.

    Youtube has been subsidized by government--hence they are not a private company, and called themselves before Congress the modern Public Square. It is the government's obligation to protect the first amendment here.

    Is your standard that any private company that receives any amount of subsidy from the government becomes a government owned entity?

    No that is not what I am saying. Government is there to protect our rights. Our money has been used to prop-up these companies and they have no right to take our voices from the public square.

    Here’s A Small-Government Solution To Section 230’s Big Tech Problem

    If we are going to provide Big Tech with a sweetheart deal, it must be a deal that also works for the American people. It's time to rewrite Section 230.

    I don't think government should be giving businesses sweetheart deals. That being said, Big Tech has become a monster monopoly and they have to be taken down to allow a free market of ideas to flourish. There should be no monopolies in a free society.

    So I wanted to know the specifics of your proposal. Google has well over 100,000 employees. If they are no longer a private company, are they employees of the general government? Do they get government benefits and pensions?

    In any case, where does the general government get the authority to deem a formerly private business a non-private business (let alone hand out subsidies and grants)?

    Internet service providers themselves are unconstitutionally regulated and subsidized. Adding another layer of unconstitutional activity will not solve the problem.

    That's probably the least Constitutionally problematic way forward. I can get behind that.

    Then the solution is to get rid of the subsidies. YouTube has no right to public funds, and therefore, they have no right to be considered a "public square."

    If YouTube is censoring certain channels or individuals, then it has every right to do so, even if they're channels and individuals that we may like. The problem isn't that since they're receiving money that they shouldn't be allowed to censor anyone in the public domain; rather, the problem is they're receiving public revenues as a private entity. The sneaky culprit in this whole debacle is corporate welfare, not censorship to speech.

    The carrot and stick applies here. If they take subsidies than they are not a private company and have share holders to answer to--in this regard it is government. If we had a truly free market and government was out of it, than a private company could censor whomever they want, but they wouldn't stay in business very long.

    Nevertheless, government has an obligation to protect it's citizen's rights, and enforce the Bill of Rights when other's violate them.

    Yes, and if a free market was allowed we would have a lot more competition.

    I hope you understand that millions of private businesses within the United States accept both subsidies and/or grants in some form or another. The logical conclusion of your argument would lead to a Communist-style takeover of much of the private sector.

    This is a strange argument to make. A left wing book publisher can censor speech and selectively publish works that is agrees with and still be financially successful. A true free market decentralizes and creates profitable niches of all kinds.

    At heart, I'm an anarcho-capitalist. So I entirely disagree that the role of the state is to do anything but be abolished. However, since we do live within a statist society, I want a state that is the least centralized as possible. In order to have that we must have a federal republic. Applying a document meant for the general government to 50 individual States destroys the concept of a federal republic and helps to creates a super-state that would make even Alexander Hamilton blush.
