Whilst I do not care for Alex Jones there is something seriously wrong with Twitter when the likes of Ahmadinejad and Farrakhan are continually spewing hate and support terrorism but Jones is permanently banned and they have verified functioning accounts...

That's the thing, It's a lesson I've spent a long time learning, There is no platform that exists that isn't privately owned by someone, In the end, whether it's Bias or at their own discretion the internet as it's run right now, Isn't a democracy, there really aren't equal rights for everyone universally, You can harken the political atmosphere of the internet to honestly the middle ages, Whoever owns and operates the privately owned servers are unequalled lords of their domains.

It may not in some respects be a fair system But in other broader respects, If you are someone who owns a property like a server, Those people have more freedom than their real-life counterparts who own physical property.

I try to see it optimistically, The internet is still a more free place than the physical world, Fewer rules and more freedom, We should enjoy that while we still have that, Someday, We won't.

Milton Cooper completely rips Alex Jones as "Mr sensationalist, lying, rumored, mongering bullsh*t artist.. miserable, cowardly little butt"

My intro to him was when he ambushed host of The Young Turks for an "interview".

Yeah, No I totally get what you are saying, But the problem is deeper than social media, Something is empowering these media giants to get away with this. It's more than just a punch from media giants. Somehow the feedback from the public is enabling them to get away with this, in some ways, The blame falls on all of us, For allowing it to happen.

A weird Question occurs to me, How does one tally the sway of public opinion in a fair and accurate way when one is a media giant? How do we all know, In a frank way, That these media giants have the support we think they do? I mean, don't they create and moderate their content?

These giants may not be as tall or as supported publicly as they would like to appear. I'm just saying when their objective is to shape society and political thought. Surely they would fudge their numbers to appear more influential, :movember:

IDK, I just question these things. These motivations and the power to change things based on the internet and seeming support that can easily be created can be controlled by bots, To make it appear as if universally everyone supports them.

Try telling the public not to use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. Report back to us with the results.
I would, But people often don't realize how bad things have really gotten, I've seen people get into and end relationships because of FB and Twitter. I've seen facebook end more relationships than I can count. Social media has become a thing of great importance for so many people.

Have this example here, This boy, used his Dying Grandpas last moments to make a music video.


The world has gotten worse since then, I want no part of what most people are anymore, That's why I come here to places like AE, The people here are still real people.

I don't agree with Alex Jones's views, but if you start banning people like him from all major internet platforms it creates a slippery slope. It is likely in the future that increasingly moderate people will be subject to similar bans because their views differ from what the owners deem proper.

I would probably laugh if Donald Trump got banned from Twitter, though.

PayPal ban me years ago,
tried to tell others,
but all my friends ignored me,
told me that I was just doing something wrong or was being paranoid,
that pay pal would never do that to anyone ever.
guess it is time they are horrified
pay pal went after people that bought gun parts (right in the agreement you agree to when using them, or at least in the agreement I read 10 years ago, and I never bought anything gun related with them, I only bought industrial electronics through them )
and then they seem to have clearly expanded to trying to limit other civil rights from there.

I just hope that ebay gets how much they are loosing by not accepting other forms of payment.

Banned from Twitter and Paypal - Seems I heard a few other places have declared him 'persona non grata'

Don't believe in the 'New World Order' and an inner elite that tries to control the World?

Alex Jones does - And I guess he is proving his point!

'They' don't like him - Like the late {death by police shoot-out} William 'Bill' Cooper {"Behold a Pale Horse"}
who insistently tried to expose the NWO and really did sound rather hateful sometimes - They perceive these type of people as a serious threat - especially when they become popular and develop a large following.

Personally I rarely listen to Alex Jones. I think he sometimes takes himself too seriously - Of course that's
what makes him interesting to many people.

But during the last Presidential election - I kind of sympathised with the view that the NWO decided Hillary was the
New World Order candidate and had to be elected - They lost, Trump won and Alex Jones was
happy.

But now he is a target - The New World Order opposes the United States as a Republic which is what it is.
And wants America to become part of a World wide democracy that is easier to manipulate.
