Yesterday, on his daily Infowars show, Jones claimed that tech industries are working to censor websites like his own but they arent willing to implement the censorship fully because theyre afraid [that] Congress and Trump might call them out. A recent Pew Research Center poll found that a majority of Americans believe that social media companies censor specific political viewpoints, despite a lack of concrete evidence illustrating any such systemic discrimination; rather, it seems the opposite is true.
Jones claimed that he has recently talked to the White House, the president and his supporters to tell them about his beliefs that conservatives are being secretly censored on social media. As a result of those conversations, Jones says, the White House requested that he write a report for their review.
Jones warned that tech companies are getting ready to shut conservatives down.
Ive said, Please, theyre censoring, theyre doing it. Do something. And theyre like, Well, what are they doing? Write us a report. So Im in the process of doing that, but its here. And so, theyre ready to launch on all cylinders, ladies and gentlemen. Theyre ready to try to shut this whole thing down right now, Jones said.
Speaking of the social media companies, he said, Theyve got the kill-switch in place. They believe were idiots. Theyre making their move.

Here's the thing Alex:
1. We don't believe you're idiots. We *KNOW* you're idiots.
2. You're not getting censored because you're a conservative posting on a social media site. You're getting censored because you're hateful dicks. Every social media site has a line in that terms of service contract that you didn't read that says "don't be hateful". You guys are hateful!
3. Alex is the last guy I would trust on that subject. I'd trust him about as much as I'd trust Johnny Knoxville with a personal injury attorney.

(621 posts)can claim whatever the hell he wants. Some people will believe it. Most know hes a liar and/or crazy, and some are suing him for everything hes worth. Im not really a betting woman, and I have time to wait, but my money is on door number 3. May he truly understand the word suffering at some point in his life. My only other wish is that his followers repent, but Im not gullible or stupid enough to believe that they will ever enter the realm of reality.

(621 posts)But these lawsuits are what I was referring to, and I truly hope that he not only loses everything that he has earned peddling these horrible lies, but I also hope that he admits, in court, on the record, and hopefully on video that he knew he was lying but did it as a money-making scam. And for the mental health, such as it is, of his followers, I pray that they do not have children. Coming face to face with the truth of what they have done to these parents would make a truly remorseful parent suicidal. I think those fans that realize how they were hoodwinked (if it is possible) should then also sue.

(3,438 posts)assault on them and their precious children...he is vile.
This guy, others like them spew hate propaganda and lies...it's no wonder they have permanant scowl on their faces...altough, would imagine that standing in hate all day, 24/7--must be hell.
Frankly, they are toxic, and I can only listen..perhaps, for a nano---when they somehow slither out from under their rocks and somehow their nasty vile comments make it onto mainstream media..they're not only nutbatcrazy, they're just plain evil... beyond any semblance of decency, civility.
