"We Need More Banning": Weekly Standard Calls For More Big Tech Censorship In Wake Of Alex Jones Purge
informationliberation.com
The neoconservative Weekly Standard said Wednesday that Big Tech should ban more people and there's "no reason" conservatives should be defending Alex Jones.
"I'm not even trolling when I say that we need more banning," Jonathan Last said Wednesday on Twitter, linking to his column, "The Case For Banning Alex Jones."
"In every online community where mods enforce reasonable standards of discourse, the community is better for it," Last said.
Bill Kristol himself also tweeted out the article, adding, "Goodbye, Alex, and good riddance."
Last said in his column that Alex Jones has "no First Amendment case" because he's being banned by "privately owned companies" and he's merely "being denied access based on his behavior and actions, not who or what he is."
"Alex Jones has his own website," Last said. "On it, he can publish anything he likes... There is one case that you can envision where the utility/equal-access argument might hold: If Google decided that they were going to ban Alex Jones from search results, then Jones defenders might have a point. Google is so dominant, and search is such a core function, that it could reasonably be viewed almost as the doorway to the internet. You could make a very good case that Google Search functions like a utility..."...
But that’s not what we’re talking about here and even looking at Google Search in this way highlights the degree to which the entities in question are nothing like utilities.
Google downranked every alternative media site over the last year (including non-establishment left-wing news sites) and made them no longer show up in most popular search results. They did the same on YouTube in even more dramatic fashion.
When you search most news topics now, Google only shows you search results from around 300 or so major media sites which their army of censors deemed worthy.
