The Ban Train for Alex Jones keep coming

Apple has removed all of Alex content and banned him form using their platform to host his podcast, this follow Facebook, Twitter, Youtube. who have all also banned him form their services.

The move makes Apple the latest tech company or social media platform to take action against Jones, a deeply controversial right-wing radio talk-show host who has suggested that the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax, among other sensational claims.

Apple said the guidelines Jones violated bar “defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to humiliate, intimidate, or place a targeted individual or group in harm’s way.”

Taking in account that twitter CEO and google are in good relationships with China, couldnt that be a censorship communist system style? :roll_eyes:
Isnt that meddling into US election by a foreign hostile power? :roll_eyes:

No and no.

Can you prove your kindergarten answers?

I see new laws ahead.

I hope so. If we can’t force private companies to host content they don’t want to be associated with, are any of us truly free?

….said the baker.

Bakers don’t host content. Are you thinking about something else?

Not to worry. AJ can always fire up his mimeograph and start mailing out weekly newsletters to the faithful. The USPS will gladly deliver whatever verbal excrement he cares to write.

How are those court cases swinging?

I don’t know why so many internet conservatives are crying for Jones. Do they really consider him a part of their community?

Probably not, right? In that case, how is this any different than all those GTA6, prankster, and adult
“kids” channels getting the boot from social media? Addios!

It isn’t about Jones…it’s about his right to free speech…even if what he’s saying offends me.

Jones’s right to free speech has not been infringed one bit.

Can’t he just make a Vimeo channel? Lots of choices out there for him to use.

The world has changed with the internet but our laws have not. That was obvious when hearing the law makers ask their uniformed questions of the platform owners.

Why should a platform be compelled to carry content that they do not want to carry?

How far does that extend? Just electronic formats? What about TV? Radio? Cable? Newspaper? Your Living Room?

Whose private platform does Alex Jones have a right to other than his own?

So when is Apple Music getting rid of music with explicit lyrics?

They don’t mind explicit music. They mind Jones. That’s all the reason they need to give him the boot.

If those songs attack the parents of dead children then they would be breaking the TOS of Apple.

When are you going to stop banning people on behalf of Mr Hannity for saying things that violate the TOS? Per the arguments in this thread, that is infringing on folks free speech.
