"Something Wicked This Way Comes: Censorship"

in #censorship6 years ago

th (1).jpgInfo Wars founder Alex Jones is now officially persona non grata. That's right gang, Apple, Facebook and YouTube (a subsidiary of Google) have given the controversial conspiracy theorist the boot.

Why, you ask? Apparently Jones is guilty of:

-unspecified "hate speech"
-glorifying violence
-using dehumanizing language (though no examples of offending posts were given)

The problem? According to The Gateway Pundit :" Liberal tech giants Facebook, Twitter, Google/YouTube and Wikipedia have all stepped-up their harassment of conservative publishers since the 2016 election. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/08/are-tech-giants-working-together-to-ban-conservatives-apple-and-facebook-ban-infowars-on-same-day/

In a study conducted in June of top conservative new outlets, The Gateway Pundit found that Facebook has eliminated 93% of traffic to top conservative websites. For instance, Breitbart is down 72%, The Daily Caller down almost 77% and The Young Conservative is down over 99%, to mention just a few.

"Facebook began stamping out conservative news in January 2017," according to stats published in The Gateway Pundit, and the overall decline is staggering: 93.7 million views down to 6.8 million views in 18 months.

"On Monday, Facebook caved to the leftist media mob demanding censorship of Info Wars and permanently banned their page. This sets a chilling precedent for free speech. To all other conservative news outlets--"you are next," warns The Gateway Pundit.

(Personal note: This particular blog has recently experienced this censorship firsthand, with a very sudden 55% decline in traffic. Don't let them get away with it. Please share this article and help us get the word out. Thank you).
