The man literally set his rabid audience on the parents of children killed in a school shooting by making out that they faked it. Those parents get harassed regularly and some of them have moved hundreds of miles away from where their children are buried to get away from this arsehole's army of idiots and they still hunt them down to basically goad them for their children dying.

He is a man that deals in lies for profit and he has made the parents of dead children a target for his own benefit. He dehumanised himself by being an absolute **** of a human being.

True Dezzy

But found this:
[Banned from multiple platforms, Infowars, on Aug. 6, turned up on Periscope (which is owned by Twitter but has its own community standards), running promotions for its mobile apps and other properties. As Digiday wrote last week, the digital ecosystem has lesser-known companies that enable sites like Infowars.

“With your help spreading it and downloading it, we are unstoppable,” read a voiceover from Jones on Periscope, referencing his apps in Apple’s and Google’s stores.

Jones also referenced Vimeo as a destination for its content. Vimeo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.]

I think he dehumanised himself after he claimed the Sandy Hook shootings were fake.

But that subject
is Deadly Serious.
the reason they all banned him.

Twitter are pretty resolute in their platform being available for literal Nazis so I can't see them changing for him any time soon.

Well they also allow groups like AntiFa and BLM, so at least their inadequacies are even handed.

If you equate nazis with Black Lives Matter, sure I guess you would say that

BLM uses violence against groups they disagree with and riot at the drop of a hat, so it's not hugely unfair to make the comparison.

One's a group set up to fight for the underrepresented and has had pockets of controversy and abusive members, the other is a group literally founded on persecuting minorities.

Would be like turning up at the trial of Slobodan Milosevic to say "yeah, well, Theresa May once slapped someone..."

It absolutely is. BLM, whether you agree with their methods and specifics, (sometimes) use violence to further their cause for black rights.

Nazis actively and consistently used violence and murder to further their cause of denying people basic human rights and ultimately murdering millions.

If you can't see the different, boi...

Alex Jones might be a loon, but he isn't a Nazi.

PRESS RELEASE: UKIP stands against a tsunami of social media silencing @RealAlexJones @PrisonPlanet https://www.ukip.org/national-ukip-news-item.php?id=37 …

UKIP are supporting him

[Crimson Dynamo]

Whatever you think of Alex Jones’ Info Wars, YouTube closing it down is part of a programme to shut down alternative media. Yesterday on the BBC it was said, ‘he hasn’t broken the law he has broken their (YouTube’s) laws’. Only the criminal law or the laws of libel should apply.

Except he has broken their rules of bullying and hate speech. The parents of the Sandy Hook victims can attest to that.

Trying to turn this story into a 'poor extremist being repressed by the media!' type thing ain't going to work when he endorses the harassment of parents of murdered children.

The rules of bullying??

Youtube has clear rules about bullying/targeting of others. The Sandy Hook business is a clear violation of that alone and we haven't even touched the hate speech angle.

Yes but youtube is not the law, and that is the point being made.

[arista]

Yes UKIP at the min
have no MP's

[Tom4784]

No, he just promotes hate and the harassment of parents of murdered children.
