Silicon Valley Tech Giants Team Up to Destroy Infowars and Silence Alex Jones
- The Duran Published on Aug 6, 2018
Facebook has announced that it has removed four pages belonging to Infowars’ Alex Jones for “repeatedly posting content over the past several days” that breaks its community standards. The social media monopoly said it removed the pages “for glorifying violence, which violates our graphic violence policy, and using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants, which violates our hate speech policies.” Meanwhile, Infowars editor-at-large Paul Joseph Watson is tweeting that Infowars has been permanently banned by Facebook. “Facebook bans Infowars. Permanently. Infowars was widely credited with playing a key role in getting Trump elected. This is a co-ordinated move ahead of the mid-terms to help Democrats. This is political censorship. This is culture war.” Watson also commented on news that Apple has also decided to censor Infowars’ podcasts… “According to Apple, if you don’t respect people with different views, you will be banned. Does this mean it is necessary to respect people who advocate child marriage and honor killings simply to have a platform?” RT CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle and The Duran’s Alex Christoforou examine the war being waged by tech giants against Infowars, and how Silicon Valley’s collective censorship of views that oppose liberal left dogma are pushing America towards cultural marxism.

Some people seem to believe that the principles of the Bill of Rights don’t apply to private corporations, that the realm of cyberspace is beyond the law. These corporations want to set up a tyranny in cyberspace, they believe that owning Google or Facebook means owning cyberspace too.
Well, we always knew that these people are fascists, either left wing fascists or right wing fascists. They had a hard time implementing their totalitarian wet dream in real America, in real space, and now they’re trying to set up their Stalinist-fascist empire in cyberspace.
First of all, real space belongs to everybody, nobody actually owns it, well maybe GOD does, and the same principle also applies to cyberspace, it belongs to those using it, there’s no monopoly for anyone. But there are some delusional and wealthy people who want to own it, and they behave as if they did.
Let’s say I wanted to commit a murder, and I argued like this: “Of course murdering is illegal, but on public land only, but I will murder my victim on my private property, and therefore it isn’t illegal.” That’s of course total nonsense, and no judge would ever accept such an argument.
But that’s exactly how these corporations argue: “Of course you have free speech, but in public space only, and since we own cyberspace, we have privatised it, and therefore we may murder your opinion, we may kill off your digital identity, your avatar, and we will get away with it, because the law of the land doesn’t apply to our private property in cyberspace.”
It goes without saying that the principles of the Bill of Rights apply to cyberspace as well as real space, and murdering your free speech is a crime, whether it is being done to you in real reality or in cyber reality.
Philosophical principles are universal, and being universal they have to be applied and respected independent of the platform where social interaction is taking place.
And no, you may not murder anyone just because the murder happens on your private property. All laws apply to both private and public space, to real reality and also to cyber reality. And of course the Founding Fathers would have accepted this as being self evident, and of course the First Amendment has to be enforced in cyberspace as well.
“The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prevents Congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise of religion, or abridging the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble, or to petition for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights.”
