"Coordinated purge": Facebook, YouTube, Apple, Spotify permanently ban Alex Jones and Infowars
lifesitenews.com
In the latest clash between big tech companies and those who hold unpopular or controversial views, Facebook has permanently kicked “Infowars” off of its platform, saying the page was “unpublished for using hate speech.”
Facebook’s banning of Alex Jones’ signature platform came just after Apple removed almost of all of his podcasts because “Apple does not tolerate hate speech.”
“We believe in representing a wide range of views, so long as people are respectful to those with differing opinions,” an Apple spokesperson said.
Spotify also removed the Alex Jones Show from its podcasts.
YouTube deleted the Alex Jones Channel on Monday morning. It had nearly 2.5 million subscribers.
“What we are witnessing is an ideological purge intended to re-define the very concept of free speech,” InfoWars editor-at-large Paul Joseph Watson wrote. “If free speech does not include controversial/unpopular/offensive speech, it doesn’t exist. A society in which free speech doesn’t exist is doomed to collapse into authoritarianism.”...
Wikileaks came to Infowars’ defense, asking, “Which publisher in the world with millions of subscribers is next to be wiped out for cultural transgression?”...
Facebook said in a press release the deleted Infowars pages were taken down “for glorifying violence, which violates our graphic violence policy, and using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants, which violates our hate speech policies.”
Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist wondered on Twitter if Facebook will censor Planned Parenthood “to be consistent about opposing those who glorify violence and dehumanize others in order to justify that violence?”...
Many conservatives argue that Facebook and Google essentially have monopolies on the distribution and sharing of information, and are using these monopolies to unfairly target certain viewpoints for censorship...
“The ban is just part of a wider censorship purge that also use stealth censorship, shadow banning and algorithmic manipulation to hide and bury conservative content,” Watson wrote in another post.
