I welcome you to actually just watch one of Alex Jones/InfoWars broadcasts instead of just watching meme clips on youtube. People act like Alex Jones is some kind of KKK leader, yelling the "N word" all day on his show. He's a little over the top, but he's merely an entertainer who also happens to share some news from reliable inside sources he's reporting on, and he's been correct more often than not. He's no different than the CNN broadcasters who run with whatever dirt they can scrounge up about Trump all day long, without researching or verifying, except he's actually sharing some eye opening stuff. I'm not a Trump supporter, but I see it every day. Trump does enough damage to his reputation on his own. The constant roasting of our president gets old after awhile. At some point, we need to ask ourselves if we want our president to be successful in the job they were elected to do instead of trying to undermine them whenever we can.
If we lived in a world where we didn't question what we were told sometimes, we wouldn't have the likes of someone such as Edward Snowden, a modern American hero. The difference now, is that instead of the NSA collecting all of our data, the big "independent" tech companies are doing their dirty work. That's why the censorship is worrisome to some.
Tim tries to push the "curated model" approach as the reasoning for the ban, but that really only covers what hits the front page of their news app, or their featured apps in the store. If you don't want to draw attention to it on your front page, then don't put it there... that's what curation is. I should still be able to search for whatever I want and "curate" my OWN content. What's the point of having this amazing technology in our pockets if we can't choose what we use it for? It's like when schools try banning Huckleberry Finn all over again.
