    First they came for the Alex Jones, and I did not speak out

    "First they came for the Alex Jones, and I did not speak out — Because I was not Alex Jones.”

    The Leftist Silicon Valley Sickos are starting a censorship Campaign against liberty.

    First big name - Alex Jones, Infowars.

    LONDON (CNNMoney) - YouTube, Facebook and Apple have taken steps to remove content associated with InfoWars and its founder Alex Jones.

    Each social media platform said Monday that it had removed content from Jones or InfoWars because it had violated their policies. The companies' moves shut down key distribution channels that had given the controversial media figure easy access to millions of internet users.

    The most dramatic action came last, from YouTube, which is owned by Google. It removed many top channels associated with InfoWars, including The Alex Jones Channel, which had 2.4 million subscribers and videos that were viewed over 1.5 billion times.

    They have already won the battle in the pulpit. But then, all is needed is get off the tax exempt status. We are headed for a war.

    More to come, I'm sure...

    Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., is calling on other tech companies to ban more sites like InfoWars, and says the survival of American democracy depends on it.

    “Infowars is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies that uses sites like Facebook and YouTube to tear our nation apart. These companies must do more than take down one website. The survival of our democracy depends on it,” Murphy tweeted Monday.

    I was listening to a podcast addressing those who said that "Freedom of Speech" only applies to the Government jailing you for your speech. He mentioned that although he was not a constitutional scholar, he was an English major. He said that the "freedom of speech" is something that we already have, it is a given. The government did not give it to us, they only promised not to make laws against it. It was an interesting take.

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    Even though the first amendment does not technically apply, these companies are an enemy of free speech.

    Yes, all true. FB, Google, Apple are private platforms, not the public square.

    >>The government did not give it to us, they only promised not to make laws against it.

    Yes!

    the question becomes,

    What can we do?

    It's basically their bat and ball so they get to say who's going to play.
    Is it possible to put enough pressure to make them relent? I don't think so.

    Also, they picked an easy target.. Jones is fringe factor, I know a lot of people don't want to become his apologist.

    But, I think we can, continually, speak out about them squashing free speech, so don't say you're not, sort of thing.

    We hold our noses and defend him. We need to defend speech we don't agree. Do not join the hoards that want to fire someone because of words, or cheer when Alex Jones gets censured. We need to accept that we are NOT going to like everything someone has to say, but we support their right to say it... and mean it!

    When I hear of a video being removed from YouTube, I'll try to find it on www.bitchute.com

    Anyone (male) that soft spoken. I don't trust.

    Anyway, as far as Q goes, that operation is just telling people they are free, a re-education. My how far we have fallen that we have to have someone tell us, teach us that we are free.

    Please step up and walk in your freedom! Pretty please with a cherry on top!
