Apparently, his channel violated the guidelines on YouTube. YouTube looks like they had enough of gay frogs.

8 RepliesEdited by FadingBlink1013: 8/7/2018 4:47:27 PMYouTube has a set of codes and he chose to ignore them. If you had a set of rules in your house and someone started breaking them would you want to kick them out.

Somehow, someway, the Jews are responsible for this.

The Young Turks are the liberal version of infowars. Since they are leftist their channel is protected. Hell their content still gets monetized. Alex Jones lost practically everything for his hate speech. Yet theres white woman that's trying to get Facebook to do something about the hate speech that was sent to her. The person called her every name in the book and wished her son would get sodomized. According to Facebook that they didn't violate any terms of service. The double standard is real. Oh and when the woman made her problem go viral Facebook then banned her for hate speech. Only certain people have free-speech. They are so free they can speak hate nothing will come to them.

12 RepliesYou don’t have to like what he said, but he has the right to say it. Looks like the beginning of the end of free speech.

As much as I disagree with what he said, I think that’s the wrong decision. As a fervent supporter of free speech, I am against censorship. And besides, his followers might be convinced that YouTube works for the government, which would cause the conspiracy theorists to gain MORE influence. Not less. Censorship is the wrong way to go about it. Roasting and debunking is the right way.

Good, he is vile and repulsive, and has made a name for himself by attacking the parents of murdered children. I say good riddance.

1 ReplyAlex Jones is nothing more the character actor that says stupid shit, and is not anyone I wan't to associate myself with on being on the right. He says stupid shit on the top of graves of Columbine students (Like Peris Morgan) and is a garbage human. I won't support that behavior just like when James Gunn tweeting really -blam!-ed up shit about kids. I'm not shedding tears.

Can't say that I'm sorry to see him go. He's a whack job.

7 Replieshttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/08/06/technology/infowars-alex-jones-apple-facebook-spotify.amp.html Most here aren't getting the whole story. Jones has been banned from multiple sites - YT, Facebook, Spotify, and Apple. To say it's their "right" as business to do so isn't wrong, but it crosses the line into the political realm when it's multiple sites at the same time.
-
Alex Jones is another actor like the rest of the politicians. It's about time, but don't be surprised if he's 'magically granted access to his channel again,' because politics is nothing more than theatrics.

12 RepliesEdited by Le Froggyass: 8/7/2018 4:28:59 PMAll the righties complaining about "muh freeze peaches!" This is, in essence, the bloody cake thing again. YouTube, the private company, has the right to remove content they don't like. I don't support that policy but they haven't broken any laws by doing this.
-
Good.
-
Until Alex Jones is prevented from uploading his videos to his own websites by internet providers, this isn't a censorship issue.

Edited by CrunchyYiff23: 8/7/2018 7:51:12 PMI’m not a fan of censoring certain thoughts/opinions (unless it explicitly incites violence) but LOLOL fuсk that fat retаrd.

Good riddance.

I like how people are screaming that this is violating freedom of speech, when there is a [i]code[/i] that YouTube has, and every one on the site has to agree with. It’s not meant to be for everything

9 RepliesWow, that's awfully annoying. Are we turning into a communist country? Seriously, what's with all of the censorship.

Edited by U12070628: 8/7/2018 1:01:08 PMA lot of you probably don’t know who “ELPRESADOR” is, but his channel got taken down a couple days ago. He’s one of the OG youtubers and I’ve been watching him for years. It’s a shame.

21 RepliesEdited by Dr Livingston 9: 8/7/2018 3:23:03 AMits censorship they are removing anyone that is somewhat controversial. if you think alex jones is crazy where that might be the case there are a lot more "normal" channels who have been banned. one lady that does body language videos for instance got banned from youtube.there was nothing controversial about her channel. the left and liberals run the media widespread whether cable tv or facebook or youtube or twitter. there will be a civil war. there is no freedom of speech online until a law is implemented or the liberals will take over with there authoritarian views. ted cruz had the best solution. you either claim your a private website and can ban people or you are a open forum. if you claim your a open forum you can not infringe on others freedom of speech. lawsuits should be implemented for millions of dollars for that infringement. however if you claim your a private website with first amendment views you are responsible for everything on your channel because you have the ability to ban for difference of views. freedom of speech needs to extend to online.

3 RepliesThere’s far worse on YouTube but in the end it’s their company and their choice. I think Alex Jones (I don’t agree with the man but still.) was the one targeted because he was in the public eye more then others.
-
Alex Jones could create a conspiracy about a grain of sand. Say what you want about the guy, I know he's batshit insane too, but there was a sprinkle of truth of some things he talked about.
