Apple Permanently Bans 'Infowars' App From the App Store

[Jsameds]

So all the tech companies that make billions are secretly one big vast commie conspiracy to move us to bread lines and murder people who don’t want to stand in bread lines.

I wish Alex Jones were still around to expose all of it. 🙁

Well they all banned him within a couple of weeks despite being on the platforms for years. H3 podcast livestream was taken down and a strike placed on their channel (now removed) for merely talking about Jones.

If anything this whole thing reenforces his conspiracies.

So if you don’t fall under a “protected class” then its okay for people to harass you verbally? That’s basically what you’re saying here.

Define harassing? Saying mean things is not harassment.

 

[Jsameds]

No. 😎

But not so nice try with the deflection, avoiding the issue, and avoiding providing sourcing for previously repeated over & over claims.

You find that tweet by Jeong that led to a shooting anywhere?

If you want to play who gets the last word, please let that be it.

Otherwise carry on without me, the same way Twitter will without Jones. 😉

Here’s a start

And now you’re making this about murder? What? Dude you’re insane.

Not really. The common denominator is Jones’s violation of their TOS. If there are others also in violation, you should report them.

He has been breaking them for years but now all of a sudden within a week he’s removed from all of them.

He was clearly targeted.

Trump won and they don’t want it to happen again, I guess.

So these big lefty tech companies only took action after the GOP took control of both chambers and the WH? Despite being vast, left wing, and in cahoots with each other?

I believe you that you believe that. But I don’t believe that.

 

[shareef777]

The right is the most hypocritical group of people I’ve ever seen in my entire life. They’re preaching for liberties, but have no qualms about squashing those of minorities. They argue that they’re pro-life, but have no issues cutting welfare for families with children. They’re also pro death penalty and guns as well!? They’re all about corporations and tax cuts to help them, but are now riled up against them for removing one guy from their platforms.

And the worst of it, is this has NOTHING to do with the 1st amendment. The bill of rights are about stopping the GOVERNMENT from trampling over us, not stopping private citizens or businesses. An idiot nazi in camouflage has absolutely ZERO rights to stand on my business property to voice their opinion!

“Those emails transformed into a conspiracy about child abuse on the anonymous message board 4chan, seeped out on to forums like Reddit and Facebook”

Hmm those apps are still on the store, and so is Twitter

https://twitter.com/hashtag/pizzagate?lang=en

Also YouTube.

So why aren’t those apps banned?

Possibly, I don’t know. All I know is that he was targeted and deplatformed.

Staying on topic, a reason why Jones got banned from all media, which I noticed you didn't acknowledge.

Also on Friday, Jones apologized for promoting the conspiracy. In a nearly six-minute video, he read a statement in which he apologized to James Alefantis, the owner of Comet Ping Pong, and tried to minimize his role in spreading the rumors.

“I made comments about Mr Alefantis that in hindsight I regret, and for which I apologize to him,” Jones said. “We relied on third-party accounts of alleged activities and conduct at the restaurant. We also relied on accounts of reporters who are no longer with us.”

The InfoWars story, Jones admitted, “was based upon what we now believe was an incorrect narrative”. He said that he did not believe Alefantis had any legal claim against InfoWars, which has taken its relevant broadcasts offline.

“We are issuing this statement because we think it is the right thing to do,” Jones said. “It is never easy to admit when your commentaries are based on inaccurate information, but we feel like we owe it to you, the listeners, viewers and supporters, to make that statement, and give an apology to you and to Mr Alefantis.”

Not surprising you choose to ignore this.

Jeong tied to anything like this? No?

You'll carry on.

Those companies that run the apps weren't the ones pushing the content, that was individual users. Jones is the face of Infowars and was pushing the nonsense himself.

My topic is that Apple are applying their rules unevenly.

All those other apps host worse content than Jones’s app yet aren’t banned.

I’m making this very simple point for at least the 10th time now yet you want to drag me away from it for some reason. Perhaps because you know I’m right.

I have just demonstrated that Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and 4chan all have hosted content which have led to violence and murder.

So why aren’t those apps banned?

 

[NomadicTy]

Alex Jones is a nutcase. He was on the far fringes even amongst the right. Like a clown to be given attention to when someone wants some entertainment. But anybody who defends censorship are historical ignoramuses who can't see past 5 minutes into the future. Please read up on history and see how censorship eventually lead to.

There is no such thing as "hate speech" that requires censorship. Nobody cares about your feelings.

 

[myrtlebee]

No. The problem isn’t the banning of Jones, it’s the uneven application of the rule enforcement.

In which case the answer to my question would be yes.

Either you have me on ignore or you're being obtuse as that was answered.

Because no one wants to admit that you are right. And if we all agreed with you, then entire internet would stop working if all those apps were banned. There is just too much money at stake that those companies stand to lose and their stocks would plummet.
So its easier and cheaper to kick one person of every platform, then kicking every platform of the internet.

 

[Jsameds]

Those companies that run the apps weren't the ones pushing the content, that was individual users. Jones is the face of Infowars and was pushing the nonsense himself.

“which prohibit content that is "offensive, insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust, or in exceptionally poor taste."

States nothing of the origin of the content, just that it was allowed access to it.

Also wasn’t there an App that they pulled because it allowed access to porn? Isn’t porn also available on Twitter?

Again, no parity. One rule for you, one rule for me.

Sorry man it’s hard to keep up with this pack of rabid wolves.

 

[mikethemartian]

A liberals way of censoring public opinion is calling it hate speech.

I call it listening to an idiot with the mental sophistication of a third grader.
[doublepost=1536450247][/doublepost]

Here is Alex Jones' most recent thuggish stunt: harassing and touching Senator Marco Rubio during the Senator's meeting with journalists.

Rubio responds like "Hey, don't touch me, man. Don't touch me." Senator Rubio also calls Alex Jones a "dumbass". It's all recorded in the video. LOL

Just his need to touch Rubio is creepy.

Actually you proved nothing. You just showed that there's speech on those platforms you find offensive.

Spoiler Alert: Other people find such things, but sorry they didn't raise to the repeated level of crap Jones did on a regular basis. Jones took pride in trolling the parents of the victims of a massacre.

Once again though, it's still interesting that the only hate speech & racism you see is directed at only one people.

The point is, and remains as I told you and others have as well. It doesn't matter if Twitter, Apple, Google, your teacher from the fifth grade, or that Mexican food place you go to & worry that you're facing racism on Twitter instead. It's their right to make rules for their platforms, and how they apply them. It's a private company operating a private platform that Jones himself agreed to their terms to be on.

Deal with it. Jones has to, and you as well.

If you don't want to, feel free to start that Onmeds social platform, Jones will love you for it provided he can shill snake oil on it. I only want a small cut for the suggestion. I probably wouldn't be caught dead on it, but I'm capitalist enough to want money from it. 😉

I just usually ignore them, but for some reason you’re incapable of that and would rather censor anyone you deem to be stupider than thou.

 

[fitshaced]

So should we shut down religion in that case? Where the abuse has long transcended verbal.

Ok by me

Nope. You were implying that Jones was banned because of his propagation of pizzagate because it led to a shooting.

I then demonstrated that all of the other sites also hosted content that propagated Pizzagate.

This reenfores my point that the rules are not being applied fairly, so thanks for raising it
