Title: Facebook and Instagram ban Alex Jones and other far-right extremists
Post by: SF1900 on May 02, 2019, 12:03:43 PM
https://www.engadget.com/2019/05/02/facebook-and-instagram-ban-far-right-extremists/

Facebook is continuing with its stricter responses to hate and violence. Both Facebook and Instagram have banned several predominantly far-right personalities and groups, including Infowars, its creator Alex Jones, Louis Farrakhan, Laura Loomer, Paul Nehlen, Paul Joseph Watson and Milo Yiannopoulos. Infowars was particularly hard-hit on top of earlier crackdowns. The two social networks will remove any content shared from Infowars, with repeat offenders facing their own bans.

The move will also ban impersonations, not to mention Facebook events and groups promoting those subject to the bans. You can still talk about the banned individuals or share content involving them that doesn't violate other terms of service.

Facebook argued in a statement to The Atlantic that this was in line with its earlier approach. "We've always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology," a spokesperson said. It just took a while to deliver these bans due to the "extensive" process of evaluating potential offenders.

These bans aren't likely to halt the spread of the extremists' associated messages. They can still head elsewhere. It will prevent them from acting in an official capacity on major platforms, though, and it also establishes some consistency. Facebook has been accused of letting prominent hatemongers persist even as it clamps down on others, particularly on Instagram. While this new ban won't please some free speech advocates, it does clear up where Facebook stands on the subject.

Just goes to show you what they consider real hate speech.........anything said by someone not black that doesn't agree with them or promote free shit.

Conservatives need to start boycotting the companies that spend ad rev on these sites.  It's time to play hardball, and that is the only way change will happen until 2020 when Trump wins and the Republicans take back over the house so these companies can face penalties.  They are a part of the news media now, and therefore can not censor free speech.

I've only watched Alex's full show maybe 5-7 times, and various clips about 25-35.  The best clip out there about him is him on Rogan's show (which I haven't watched all of, but most..) where it turns out he lied and/or exaggerated about nothing other than Sandy Hook which was his boiling point where he lost his mind a bit.  Go down enough rabbit holes, and you're bound to get bitten....

I like Alex Jones, with the exception of the Reptile Hybrid talk.
He and David Icke are good source of information, especially when comes down to the Satanic Cults in Holywood and the 15 most wealthy families of the World and how bad they want to decimate a good part of the total population

Okay--I stopped and thought about it and I disagree.  However, I do enjoy coming here and annoying you people.
He's not affecting me one bit, but unlike most of his supporters, I give a damn about what he's doing to the country and how we look to the rest of the world.

You don’t think making threads about trump everyday makes it seem like he occupies all the space in your head?

I make no threads about trump or dems.I support trump but don’t bash dems allday cause I’m not crazy.Making threads everyday about the same thing makes one think one might be crazy.

Because as I've said numerous times in the past here--I have a 30 plus year New York City history of him and his ways.
I don't agree with most things he says or does.   He's a racist--a con man--a thief-- and a homophobe. That's why.

How do we look to the rest of the world? Well, I was in Poland at a military conference in Sept 2018 and the locals told me they love Trump and the US. I was in Berlin this January at a very high tech conference and the participants (all from Europe) told me they wish they had Trump instead of Merkel or Macron or whomever was their PM. I was in Brussels and then West Flanders in early March and heard the same positive vibes. Not one effin person complained.

If you travel a lot globally, and I do, you never hear the bullshit spouted against Trump that you do in US newspapers or on American gossip boards.

I hope Trump gets re-elected. I love how the economy of the USA is roaring (I see it in my own tech biz) and I like how he sticks it to the Chinese who have been screwing the US in international trade for the past 30 years.

Facebook argued in a statement to The Atlantic that this was in line with its earlier approach. "We've always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology," a spokesperson said. It just took a while to deliver these bans due to the "extensive" process of evaluating potential offenders.

Jones is a court jester. He's found a niche and has used it well to make money. I don't dislike him but can't take him seriously either. Icke produces better material.
I feel PJW is more clued up/red-pilled then he puts on. He's a gatekeeper at best though. Milo hasn't been relevant since the pro-pederasty comments were exposed. Loomer is totally insane/retarded but can be amusing too.

I admire Nehlen and Farrakhan more then the others. However, none should be banned. Censorship is killing these platforms and turning them into a bland echo chamber.

To the left those aren't extremist groups.  Libtards are the most hate filled intolerant people and they project that onto their enemies.
