I just checked and this is still available.
Alex Jones Rants as an Indie Folk Song
I can't link it due to language, although. Pretty funny.

I know the name of who the guy is and have a sort of idea.


I'm glad, but I concur with jthomas. I'd have more respect for one of the platforms if they just said, "We don't like him and don't have to give a platform, period."

As it is, I will still get a daily dose of:
a) Trump is Hitler
b) Trump is Jesus

....by virtue of using the platform myself.

He comes across as crazy and his theories are out there. It's not funny when you take on parents of 5&6 year olds that were savagely murdered. This man has no soul. I'm glad he is shut down.

The incident has shown me that people still don’t know the first amendment only applies to the government.

There is some risk of getting things wrong if you allow computers to do the censoring.
Facebook under fire for blocking House GOP candidate's campaign ad
Not sure whether a Facebook computer or a person banned the ad.
Here's the ad.
Now, you could take her to task over not being very specific in her policy proposals, but hate? She even called her opponent a "nice guy." The only person who might be offended by this ad would be a Khmer Rouge perpetrator. Are we really worried about offending KRs? I would think people would want to rub any surviving KRs' noses in this attempted genocide forever.

That is troublesome. The pictures were gruesome, but she was showing where she came from. She wasn’t trying to blame the murders on anyone but the Cambodian government.

Facebook just located the computer that pulled her ad in a dark corner of their basement.

Alex Jones has a mouth that rivals his ego; since his rants are hysterical, incendiary and are opinions with very little (if any) factual basis, those private companies have every right to not allow him to use their platforms.
Now he’s begging his Orange Allah to do something because...First Amendment?
Did he forget that his hero and certain sycophants were, early on, looking at ways to do away with the First Amendment?

JUST NO! (Said with horror.)
“Warner, Klobuchar, McCain Introduce Legislation to Improve National Security and Protect Integrity of U.S. Elections by Bringing Transparency and Accountability to Online Political Ads,” Office of Senator Mark R. Warner, October 19, 2017,

The distinction between political/campaign ads, prohibited for foreign persons, and permitted issue ads has in practice opened the door to Russian use of social-media ads for disinformation purposes

Oh please!!!

The election couldn't be hacked and refusal to accept the final results was problematic for democracy......until it wasn't.

(I also think there's a truckload of utter naivete here; while in no way do I endorse just letting anything and everything go, these politicians are insanely arrogant and clueless if they actually believe their advertisements have this kind of an effect. Someone needs to tell these worthless shreds of human debris that: a) almost nobody even pays attention your pathetic ads; b) most of us would love a refuge from them every election season beyond having to "mute" or change the channel.

Impressive lady. I am fortunate to know a lot of men and women like her.

i agree with you about refuge from the ads (streaming only and no land line helps me avoid a large majority of them), but i would imagine that a lot more folks than we want to believe pay at least some attention to them and are somewhat influenced by them.
