Apple Permanently Bans 'Infowars' App From the App Store

[KGB7]

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.

Its amazing, that the only thing people remember Jones for is the Shooting and the Pizzagate. For all the years he has been operating and crazy things he has been saying for decades, that's the only two examples any one could remember.

You have to do better sport.

So you want Democrats and their racist identity politics banned from the Internet?

The American left has gone fully and completely insane.

I used to wonder how authoritarian dictatorships could happen. Now I know.

You have to be kidding. I’m not a Democrat and I’m no liberal, and at times have big disagreements with both, but what you are describing is the current state of the Republican party and so called “conservatives” not the Democrats.

 

[JayMysterio]

Nope. You were implying that Jones should be 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.

Ookay... the obtuse thing is tired.

I was SAYING that ONE of the reasons Jones got banned was because he repeatedly did crap like promote Pizzagate, and troll the parents of school shooting.

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

Literally, that's what I said, I even put in bold & underlined it because I knew you would predictably pull this.

So if you think you point is proven by misstating & misrepresenting what I write, it does say volumes about your point.

You're welcome, but you raised it, and completely missed it. It no longer surprises me the heated defense of Jones.

Louis. Farrkhan. Has. A. Twitter. Account.

Antifa. Has. A. Twitter. Account.

Hamas. Has. A. Twitter. Account.









Shot chaser:











Westboro. Baptist. Chruch. Has. A. Twitter. Account.

And if you have a problem with that email a complaint to Tim Cook.

 

[GermanSuplex]

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.

People don't want to admit that he's right because many feel that he's not.

I’m not defending Jones, Jesus Christ. Do you still not get it?

I’m saying that if you’re going to ban his app for those reasons stated then it is hypocritical to not ban the other apps as they host the same or arguably worse content.

The rules are being applied unevenly.

Once again for the hard of thinking:

The. Rules. Are. Being. Applied. Unevenly.

 

[Braderunner]

Jones is a total loser.

You feel they are being applied unevenly. At the end of the day, there is no litmus test for judging these sorts of things, so each company is free to use their judgement.

You’re not right.

Because I said it it must be true right?

Actually no I don't. Why I am expected to provide more? Some unwritten rule I am unaware of. Because you said so?

You deciding new forum rules?

For all the talk of uneven treatment, I've yet to hear of the truly equivalent of crap by others.

Besides trolling the parents of school shooting is a level of crappery that should NEVER be forgiven or forgotten.

 

[Jsameds]

Yes there is. The litmus test is their own rules that they set. As it stands YT, FB, Twitter and the rest all break the exact same rules as AJ, yet they remain on the store.

 

[GermanSuplex]

You’re not right.

Because I said it it must be true right?

No. That's your opinion. I didn't say you weren't right, I said some don't feel you're right. Not sure what you're getting at.

“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.

Porn isn't the issue, while twitter might allow it has nothing to do with Apple not allowing it. By Jones freely choosing to use Apple's and Twitter's services, he is freely agreeing to their terms, not terms he thinks it should be. If they feel he broke those terms, those companies are free to decide how they want to deal with that issue. This is no different than any one else getting banned from those services, which does happen, you just don't hear about them that often as they aren't high profile. Being high profile doesn't free you from what ever TOS rules those companies have setup.

Reddit has rules on what subs can be allowed, break those rules and you face a ban. Reddit doesn't specifically control those individual subs and Reddit isn't specifically making offensive subs which is why Apple doesn't ban their app. Same goes for other company's apps. Again Jones had direct control over the content on his app that he was putting out, which is why it's different. Don't forget, even Jones has a standard TOS for his own site which prohibits certain content from being posted by other users. Break that TOS and get banned from his site.

 

[GermanSuplex]

Yes there is. The litmus test is their own rules that they set. As it stands YT, FB, Twitter and the rest all break the exact same rules as AJ, yet they remain on the store.

Their rules give parameters which they deem unacceptable. When someone says or does something that they feel breaks those rules, they take the action they deem appropriate. There is no cut and dry, black and white areas where something someone says and does crosses those boundaries. What you may deem unacceptable Apple may find ok, and vice versa. But, because its their company and not yours, they get the final say. You don't feel Jones has broken rules others haven't; some of these companies feel otherwise.

Those just happen to be the most controversial that had a direct affect on others. Most people don't consider gay frogs and lizard overlords along with other nutty topics memorable or controversial.

Sorry, but judging from examples you use, and the repeated unproven claims, it comes across as a defense.

Still it's still your opinion your running with. It falls on you to prove somehow accurately such a thing. It might help if your examples weren't so one sided, which kind of makes it look like a defense of Jones.

And no matter how much you cry about rules being applied, it DOES NOT MATTER.

The rules are made by a private company for their private platform. They decide what is or isn't fair or applied evenly or unevenly.

It's not really that hard, unless you intentionally make it hard, just to be obstinate.

No real need to think about, it's a simple hard fact.

Want rules you think are fair? Here's another fact, if you start your own platform...

 

[Jsameds]

Actually no I don't. Why I am expected to provide more?

lol this is coming from the guy pressuring me for direct links to sources a couple of pages back that I had already provided multiple times ITT

 

[mikethemartian]

You might be doing a little projecting there. "mexico is sending their rapists" and "build the wall" sounds exactly like racist identity politics to me.

The American left has gone insane? Is this really coming from someone who voted for a reality TV host who pays pornstars for sex, tweets insults all day, and thinks the climate change is a myth invented by China? Not only as the American right gone insane, but they've gone so insane they've lost the capacity for basic self-awareness of that insanity. Unbelievable.

And if you're curious about the formation of authoritarian dictatorships look no further than Donald "the free press is our enemy" Trump.

But that’s how propaganda works. The group A that wants to persecute another group B doesn’t just say “hey let’s persecute group B” they falsely claim that group B is persecuting them and they are just trying to protect themselves. There is a very good episode of the original Twilight Zone titled “He’s Alive” about this dynamic.

What examples are you struggling with?

Is the “kill all white people” hashtag not offensive enough? Is the actual conspiracy video not tinfoily enough? Is the pizzagate propagation not pizzary enough?

 

[JayMysterio]

You posted a curated list of tweets that had killallfillintheblanks. As if that isn't seen by others. You posted selective out of context inflammatory tweets from Jeong, that you heard were inflammatory. None of that bolstered your case. None of that matches the level of crap from Jones that led to his infamy. Sorry, but NOT sorry.

No. As said, it was just telling.

No, you don’t have to anything, ever. But the very least, grow a pair, be an individual, instead repeating same thing exact thing like a parrot.

You might want to redirect that complaint elsewhere, like a guy you're supporting. He even admits he's repeating himself, but I guess for you that's alright.

Christians have been doing that a lot lately. As for the Twilight episode, forgot about that one. Has a much younger Dennis Hopper.

 

[GermanSuplex]

When did we start making big decisions based on feelings?

Disagreeing with someone on a forum is not a big decision for me. I read the subject of the thread and we are all free to post our opinions. You made an assertive assumption that some of us don't want to admit another poster is right. At least in my case, that's not true.

 

[mudslag]

When did we start making big decisions based on feelings?

It's pretty common to make big decisions on feelings.
