Apple Permanently Bans Alex Jones From Entire Platform
8
September, 2018
Apple
permanently banned Alex Jones' Infowars app
from its App Store late Friday, depriving the conservative host one
of his last remaining conduits to reach a mainstream audience.
The New York Times reports
that an Apple spokeswoman said the app was removed under company
policies that prohibit apps which contain content that is "offensive,
insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust or in exceptionally poor
taste," however she did not note what specific content resulted
in the app's removal.
Jones
and his empire have also been banned from YouTube, Facebook, Google
Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, MailChimp, Disqus, Linkedin, Flickr,
Pinterest and several others in what silicon valley swears wasn't a
coordinated "unpersoning" of Jones.
"Because
I play devil's advocate, because I play both sides, they've taken me
out of context, they
are using me as a test case to
try to bring an EU style web censorship," Jones said several
weeks ago. "They've got mainline Democratic senators saying they
ought to restrict Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Matt Drudge, the
President himself. They
are misrepresenting what I've said and done and are using that to set
a precedent for internet wide de-platforming, censorship beyond what
Russia does, what China does, ahead of the midterms (election).
The whole thing is fake."
Apple's app
removal comes just over a month after the company removed his
from the iTunes service on Aug. 5, while leaving his app in the
App Store.
Apple
users who have already downloaded the Infowars app will not be
affected. Google, meanwhile, has allowed the Infowars app to
remain available to Android users, which runs around 80% of the
world's smartphones.
On
Thursday, one day after Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appeared on Capitol
Hill to tell lawmakers how his company doesn't discriminate
against conservatives, the company permanently
banned Jones from
the platform for insults hurled at CNN's Oliver Darcy on Wednesday.
Twitter
told the Daily Beast that
the final straw was when Jones said of Darcy and CNN:
"Look at this right here. Goes around policing and calling for censorship, and then claims that Trump's wrong - there's no censorship of conservatives. You are incredibly shameful man. You're just - look at you. You are literally an anti-American, anti free speech coward. You're going to go down in the history books as the criminal news network.
This is one of the main people right here who thinks we have no memory. Who sits there and lobbies. Sits there and lobbies people to take other news off... when CNN is the fakest WMD gulf Arab state dictatorship-funded... unbelievable." -Alex Jones
"Those
are the eyes of a rat," Jones added.
Oddly,
Darcy tweeted an article about Jones's banning within 60 seconds of
Twitter's announcement. A collusion of
sorts? Someone has thin skin.
Not
only was Jones booted from Twitter - the company said they will
monitor any attempts to circumvent the ban.
[T]his time, Twitter went a step further , saying it will continue to monitor reports about other accounts potentially associated with Jones or Infowars and will "take action" if it finds any attempts to circumvent the ban.
Jones had about 900,000 followers on Twitter. Infowars had about 430,000.
In a voicemail left with The Associated Press, Jones expressed disbelief that the incident with Darcy could have led to his ban. "He says horrible lies about me and edits things I've said," Jones said. "He's the one that's been abusing me." -ABC
Remember
when the ACLU would have raised hell over something like this?
Paul
Joseph Watson Goes Nuclear On Twitter And MSM After Alex Jones Ban
8 September, 2018
UK journalist
Paul Joseph Watson and longtime Infowars editor-at-large has
absolutely unleashed on Silicon Valley social media giants and
the MSM alike, after Alex Jones and his Infowars empire
were finally kicked
off of Twitter following
a heated exchange with CNN's Oliver Darcy last week.
Watson
himself earned a "12 hour review" by Twitter following
Jones's removal.
Paul Joseph Watson is under a 12-hour review. He is an employee of InfoWars but does not own or manage the accounts.
This just feels like bullying.
And why is left-wing cyberbully Vic Berger still on here? $twtr
The
Infowars founder has now been blacklisted from over a dozen Silicon
Valley platforms for "hate speech" - conveniently ahead of
this November's midterm elections.
Midterms are coming up and we can't have wrongthink on here.
I'm going to bet that @PrisonPlanet is next followed shortly by @Cernovich
Watch:
Oddly,
CNN's Darcy published an article about Jones's Twitter ban within 60
seconds of Twitter's announcement. Nothing to see here...
Twitter and CNN's Oliver Darcy both announced the Alex Jones news at precisely 4:47pm. Interesting
One of @PrisonPlanet's best.
