RE: InfoWars Blacklisted By Major Advertisers After CNN's Guerrilla Activism
They can't possibly claim that they're only going after content that violates their policies. Even liberal centrists like Sargon of Akkad have felt the hammer from this new round of pummelling - let's call it what it is at this point; an attempt to censor ideas that do not follow the stream of ideas belonging to the liberal left. This is ideological warfare through social media, but what's more alarming is that we have allowed for corporatism and their affiliate political beliefs drive this dangerous vehicle of censorship. Even so, this is going to cause a Streisand effect of epic proportions, so it'll only be good for Alex Jones for the future.
I think this will be really good for alt tech/alt media in the future, as well. It sucks to watch these guys get censored, but it opens opportunity to bring their followers to better platforms for free speech. I'm wondering how the social media landscape is going to look two years from now.
Yeah, I mean the change to alt media, as you say, is long overdue. I really hope those upcoming tech companies that do promote free speech are kept in line of their core foundation and do not drift for corporate interests through buyouts and takeovers. Money is always an incentive and I won't be surprised if Google exerts its influence over those rising companies. Not to mention the cooperative nature of the already existing giants that work toward mutual benefit. We've seen this happen with YouTube and Google and before Google bought it in 2006 for $1.6 billion, it was also aiming to keep in line with its core foundation, but nope! We're likely to see something happen in the future shall some alternatives arrive to bring some level of competition.
