YouTube bans Alex Jones

  1. You need someone to read it for you and tell you what is in it?

    You are not ashamed asking people to do that? Shall well cut your meat for you later?

    Mind you media literacy classes might be a good idea for boomers. They do seem a bit lost.

    Here you go! I just didn't want to throw chum in the water and watch some disgusting libtard orgy that celebrates fascist policies.

    The allegedly leaked memo is posted at the previously posted link.

    From the article:

    In a policy paper obtained by Axios, Sen. Mark Warner's office laid out 20 different paths to address problems posed by Big Tech platforms — ranging from putting a price on individual users' data to funding media literacy programs.

    Why it matters: The paper — prepared by Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner’s staff and circulated in tech policy circles in recent weeks — is a window t0 the options available to U.S. policymakers concerned about disinformation and privacy. Enacting any of these plans is a long shot in the near-term, but a shift in party control of Congress come November could give them more momentum.

    The policy paper divides the different proposals along three lines:

    1. Combating disinformation,
    2. Protecting user privacy,
    3. Promoting competition in the tech space.

    I don't think so, based on the news feed. Plus, Youtube would have said so in order to give the appearance of a balanced view. But I suppose it is possible.

    I don't think they banned Jones because he's on the right. They probably banned him because of his conspiracy "theories" and call for violence. It doesn't have to be tit for tat (right vs left). It can be truth vs lies. It just so happens that there are many high profile alt-righters who call for violence and spew outright lies to support their point. When the social media networks ban Russian trolls (the real ones) they are attacking all of them - not just the right leaning ones, but it just happens that most are right leaning.

    What I find scary is that reasonable people equate Alex Jones as a right leaning person and not just a fringe lunatic who damages our actual discourse. If the case is that all right wing people view him as on "their side," then maybe (to take a suggestion from a right wing politician who was anti-Muslim) the right should do more to police their own.

    They banned him because they think he is extreme right. And he is.
