technically it was the frogs transitioning!He was right about the frogs turning gay
It really is BS were is the free flow of ideasCensorship in all its forms is abhorrent.
this would be kind of cool, would be nice to see small sites make a comeback. not sure whether this would actually come to pass. feel like the average person might not care enough to make the switch, though?I think there's a silver lining that will eventually turn to GOLD. The banning of everything that only intensifies each year will flip the typical "surface web/dark web" dynamic into a true cathedral/bazaar situation. You'll have the gated community of the BlueCheck ZuccZone, where you need a driver's license & a facial-recognition verified selfie as your profile pic to post & the culture is just Linkedin + Facebook, then outside that is the wilderness web. There's going to come a time when so much is banned that anyone who is "online" beyond a normie will be forced out into the wilderness, creating a whole second internet beyond the boundaries of the little ring of those dozen or so social media sites.
Right now, our problem is that we still trust social media, you need to go on twitter w/ an anon account to talk to all the interesting people, Youtube's still the best place to upload vids, but in five years? I think we're going to see a million small imageboards & forums pop up once again as that's the only way to be anon & free.
Ay yo don't forget that he predicted 9/11! THAT is likely what allowed him to get bigger than a fun goofy local tv weirdo dude.technically it was the frogs transitioning!
one of the few things he was close to being correct about in his career
I agree with you, it's not ideal when I am watching jav all night.Censorship in all its forms is abhorrent.
No, it's not. You know how I can tell you people are posers who weren't online in the 1990s?You must only be here for the aesthetic. The old school internet vibe is about being able to say things, yes people can hate and disagree with each other, but you don't deplatform over some crackpot conspiracy theories. Deplatforming leads to everything getting worse.
Jones has been involved in at least two defamation lawsuits brought by the parents of various Sandy Hook victims. This isn't, "criminal stuff on social media," though. At least not in the US where Jones is. If the standard for terminating all services to a person becomes involvement in civil lawsuits then there are going to be a lot of people kicked offline.Completely deplatforming a dumbass online is harsh, but the guy didn't just spread harmless conspiracy theories. Wasn't he in a big lawsuit with a bunch of family members from a school shooting he said was faked or something? Haven't kept up with the trial much, but he did a lot of criminal stuff through social media. That's why his accounts are being ceased.
Having had the time to mull over what you said (not entirely by my choice, but eh), I do see where you're coming from.Jones has been involved in at least two defamation lawsuits brought by the parents of various Sandy Hook victims. This isn't, "criminal stuff on social media," though. At least not in the US where Jones is.

It makes sense that Jones should face consequences for his actions. It doesn't make sense that you would describe behavior that isn't criminal as, "criminal stuff." It also doesn't make sense that he should face extralegal consequences.Regarding Alex Jones, I don't mind him having consequences for his actions, but I do mind that the people dishing out the consequences are big tech companies that only care about these issues once they get in trouble for who they platform. Does that make sense?

"Saying anything you want" was heavily frowned upon until the floodgates opened in September 1993 and the unwashed hordes were allowed to go online and type the epic slur words their mommies wouldn't let them say in real life. People took great effort to enforce community standards, or 'deplatform', as you people call it, problem users.Newsgroup Netiquette - Internet Netiquette - 1994 | LivingInternet
