A Conspiracy Ban

This didn't surprise me at all. Twitter and Apple have decided they have had enough of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his InfoWars show. Now, he is banned from those two sites. More than likely, it was because of his behavior and attitude at times when it comes to subjects.

I think this was a move that was coming sooner or later. Certainly, Jones has the right to say whatever he wants, but some of the stuff he says do not help his case. That Sandy Hook lawsuit is still going unless something changed. His fights against companies and Senators lately have probably been a huge factor in his banning. Whether this is an act, I don't know.

We live in a completely different era now from what it was in 2001 when Jones said conspiracies about September 11th. The Internet was a unique animal during that time period and still somewhat new. Now these days, companies can keep eye on what people like him do and take action when necessary.  The writing was on the wall. It was only a matter of when to ban.

Jones will find some way to stay relevant, though. He's not going to leave, no matter how much a lot of people want him to.

The War on Banning Info

For the last week or two, websites have put on a ban on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. He does a show called InfoWars and Facebook, YouTube, and a few other websites have banned him from putting his content on them. Recently Twitter suspended him for a week even though they were not immediate in doing what other sites were doing. I think this websites trying to stop him from spreading misinformation.

I think the reason, and it probably has been said in articles, is because of Sandy Hook. For those who don't know, that was the December 2012 shooting that took the lives of 20 people, including a number of kindergarten kids. Jones believed that was all staged and recently, has been sued by a number of families for the misinformation. So now, with battling custody of kids, he has to battle people he mocked and made lies of.

While this might piss off Trump, which it has, these websites are scared of Jones. What do I mean by that? This guy is more dangerous than Trump or any other person that runs a country. Like anything, he has share of fans, including the extreme nut job ones that believe every little thing that comes out of his mouth. Combined with the Sandy Hook lawsuits, the websites I believe are tired of the shtick and probably any complaints they've been getting and looked into the material. I don't think this is a political matter, but more so the deranged mentality of Jones.

By the time this blog is done, Jones will be a few days away from getting his Twitter back. He'll get back to doing his thing and whatever else he has intended to do. I hope websites will keep giving him the ban. It's about time they stand up to somebody.
