There's a war on for you mind. The establishment extracts billions in corporate and taxpayer monies to fight it, why would they balk at purging the media space by outright political censorship?

Facebook has permanently banned Infowars for using language that is derogatory towards Muslims, transgender people and immigrants in a shocking intensification of Big Tech’s censorship purge.

Facebook announced in a blog post that the four main Infowars pages were “unpublished for repeated violations of Community Standards and accumulating too many strikes.”

“More content from the same Pages has been reported to us — upon review, we have taken it down for glorifying violence, which violates our graphic violence policy, and using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants, which violates our hate speech policies,” states the post.

Facebook did not specifically state which posts or videos violated their policies or in what way.

The termination of the pages follows an intensive lobbying campaign by the likes of CNN and BuzzFeed to pressure Facebook into banning Infowars.

Yes there's a war on. The govt and all large institutions seriously want whites and conservatives DEAD, and they're slowly getting it done.

The perpetraitors have an uncanny disproportion of odd names and big noses.

Alex Jones is a goofball,

Not the point, I suppose. The question is whether Facebook, Google, Twitter are public utilities like the telephone company.

Facebook apparently has suffered a sharp drop in revenue. Remains to be seen whether it will be permanent or just a blip.

So, that's basically an admission that they're not like a public utility but do expect their mega-monied business statements and publicized opinions about alleged "Deplorables" to somehow make their company of Zero Tolerance commerce more specially exempt from socio-political "legalities" than smaller business owners (like cakemakers and florists forced by law to relinquish their values and their 1st Amendment rights or be charged as a discriminatory "civil rights violator", criminalized and heftily fined as such, possibly jailed, maybe their licensing revoked -- even bankrupted out of business and likely other properties/assets, too).


Comment @ YouTube:

The irony is, that the "multinational super rich elite" who decry "tribalism", nationalism,. patriotism, are a separate, hermetically closed tribe themselves, who associate and mix only with each other. They have their own code of behavior, ideology and value system. Their behavior (affinity to each other) is IDENTICAL in every general aspect of the much maligned nationalism/patriotism, grouping by cultural identity, only THEIR cultural parameters are different. But make no mistake about it: They have their own tight, defined cultural tribal system, with its myriad of rules, and codes of behavior and ethics, and the physical separation to the extreme(!), from those, who are not members, is included .

130+ posts.

"Conservatives" have tolerated way too much shit in the last 25 years - and I don't have regurgitate the laundry list for those that post here.

Now the Left is bringing out the long knives. Anyone's guess if they will hit a major organ.

Many are rethinking the meaning of words like "monopoly" and "public accomdation."

I'll be glad to see these boys put back in their box and will support almost anyone who will dance on their graves. Almost anyone.

Even JimRob, the banner of all banners, finally weighed in to support AJ's right to free speech.

Maybe Trump will tweet about this clear and present danger to the First Amendment.

The page you're looking for isn't here. Either someone gave you a bad link or there's something funky going on. Either way, we're truly sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey ~ would you please try again? I could use some good news in this arena. Thanks

Where is it to be found, randge? Is it offering a haven to rightists booted elsewhere?

Chew thru this one if you have time. I'm finishing some summer projects and only had a few minutes to digest this. Posted on another site.

When they censor Alex Jones that make them content providers which means they can be sued for their other content on their platforms if it says supports terrorism etcetera

I believe you have misstated what you tried to say, and confused content providers with publishers.

The Communications Decency Act (CDA) § 230 of 1996 protects content providers from liability or lawsuit depending on what court is making up its mind. In any case, it offers immunity to content providers.

By engaging in censorship, what are content providers may be converting themselves into publishers and fall outside the immunity protection offered by CDA § 230.

The below Law Review article is from 2002 and lots of litigation has taken place since, but as far as the immunity for content providers and the lack thereof for publishers, it appears clear and acurate.

Comment: Untangling the Publisher versus Information Content Provider Paradox of 47 U.S.C. 230: Toward a Rational Application of the Communications Decency Act in Defamation Suits against Internet Service Providers

Bryan J. Davis

At 76-78:

But with the passage of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA), Congress immunized Internet service providers (ISPs) from suits arising out of user access to third-party-created defamatory material. Why did Congress so generously immunize ISPs from defamation suits arising from user access to third-party content when newspapers, magazines, bookstores, libraries, and other sources of potentially defamatory content enjoy no such protection? Congress justifies the CDA's cloak of defamation suit immunity for ISPs on two main grounds. First, the federal government cannot create a web- watching army of sufficient size to scan the Internet for defamatory material because it would be ineffective due to the sheer volume of information available to the millions of users of the Internet. Second, the federal government does not want to regulate content on the Internet in hopes that ISPs will do so on their own without the government looking over their shoulders.

Although these justifications seem rational, the statute's defamation immunity for ISPs begs the question: Has Congress effectively eliminated a remedy for plaintiffs who want to hold ISPs liable for defamation that occurs in cyberspace? The plain language of the statute answers a simple "no." The statute only immunizes ISPs that act as "publishers" of third-party-created content. ISPs that act as "information content providers" are not afforded defamation immunity, because they are directly involved with creating the offending content, as opposed to ISPs that only allow access to third-party-created content.

A simple "no" to the question of whether 47 U.S.C. § 230 deprives plaintiffs of a remedy in cyberspace defamation claims against ISPs seems to have transformed into a "maybe," or arguably even a "yes" under the prevailing interpretation of the scope of the statute. The federal court cases that have addressed the defamation immunity afforded ISPs under 47 U.S.C. § 230 have not articulated an intelligible test for how to determine whether an ISP falls into either the "publisher" or the "information content provider" category when an ISP is implicated in co-creation of defamatory content. Instead, they adopt an approach grounded on the notion that the amount or quality of ISP editorial control over third-party content is dispositive of whether an ISP is a "publisher" or an "information content provider" under the statute. As a result, a paradox emerges. An ISP as a "publisher" of third-party-created content will not be liable for defamation, but an ISP that acts as an "information content provider" by co-creating content with third parties will be liable, even though an ISP is a "publisher" by definition, and therefore should not be liable under the statute. Stated differently, case law suggests that an ISP that simply allows access to third-party-created content will not be liable under 47 U.S.C. § 230 for defamation, and ISPs found co-creating defamatory content with third parties will also not be liable, even though those ISPs might indeed be "information content providers."
