And wait until Facebook and other activists lobby internet providers to throttle all InfoWars content. We will see who suddenly loves Net Neutrality then and I will laugh my rear off at them.

That isn't what the deal is.


Obama gave the keys to the internet away to the EU.
So, it no longer falls within the 1st amendment.

These social media companies think the FCC is stupid and don't realize they are in fact communication companies, not just content providers. Which falls under a very strict set of rules.

Its just going to help kill their platform, already past its peak, and quite possibly hammer the left even more. Alex Jones still has an audience, and they will not be there. As the right wing is driven off the platform , the lack of opposition will result in either a boring and stagnant place of agreement or, much more likely, the the left will engage in internecine warfare as the various forces, like Roman auxiliaries from the far flung provinces, begin to eye each other without a common enemy.

Not all conservatives listen to Alex Jones.

I suspect a good many of them will still be around, looking at photos of family trips, playing Candy Crush, and cooing over photos of their grandkids.

Gee I don't know because, I'm positive no one would ever even want to do such a thing.

Yes--facebook is stupid to ban Alex Jones--he has his own website with all of his videos and despite that FB was making a lot of money with him on their platform. Now--all his followers will abandon it and go to him

My guess is, they really don't want that association at all.

It's frightening to me, seriously, how many people believe what he is saying.

As fun as it is to mock him, deep down it's frightening that when you go out in public his believers are out there too.

Odds are they do not.
Odds are that you are guessing, if you know of any left wing hate speech on Facebook that violates the terms of use let’s hear it.

Ya, it was worth 119 million and counting fast, to 125 million as I type.
