(23,946 posts)Also hope Shitler has another boo boo and another flailing meaningless tweet.
The Walls are closing in, no more massive social media hate speech and propaganda based on lies and fear.
I can dream...

(23,946 posts)YouTube on Wednesday removed four videos from the channel of Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist who founded the far-right media outlet Infowars, and issued a warning that more violations could result in a ban from the video platform.
Jones channel was issued a strike, first reported by The Verge, as part of YouTubes three-strike policy for publishers who abuse the platforms terms of service. A source familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly confirmed the strike was issued. The four videos counted together as one strike, the source confirmed.

Let him go completely bonkers about the gay frogs. That'll do it.

(6,288 posts)He should be arrested for that, not suspended, with 1 checkmark.
He should have been banned completely & theown in jail.
Alkowing his filthy mouth free reign has caused more damage than can be repaired.
Ugh!

(18,130 posts)Watched a little bit of the video. He actually threatened to shoot Mueller. He should be arrested for threatening an Official of the US Government..
Alex needs to be shut down and put away.

YouTube has some cleaning up to do. It's not just Alex Jones. You can put a video on there on how to turn a pile of rocks into gold if you immerse them in water and vinegar with a ham sandwich and a turtle, and tens of thousands will watch it. Just sayin'.

(11,460 posts)by the YT standard of hate speech, he can have 2 offenses every three months and still be allowed to push his hate shit over their platform. I wish youtube's quality standard was a little higher.
Initech
(101,542 posts)And they don't police it as hard as they should. Youtube really needs better or more moderators for this kind of stuff.

(18,868 posts)However, I still had a business FB account up. I put in a request for deletion yesterday because FB will not take action against Alex Jone's slander of Mueller and is obviously continuing to promote right wing crap.

Mahalo, Wwcd!
Am reading his tweets more often anymore.
And Wendy Seigelman. She gets into the minute details of whatever she's focused on at the moment, & generally avoids the usual banter on her acct.
She is serious!

(6,288 posts)Jones posted the video yesterday (July 23) on his personal YouTube channel, which has over 2.4 million followers. Multiple people have complained to YouTube on Twitter. A YouTube spokeswoman didnt respond immediately to a request for comment.
In the video, Jones calls the independent counsel leading the federal probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign a monster, accuses him of covering up for a pedophile, and suggests he and Mueller will meet for a cowboy-style showdown, as The Hill explains:
Thats a demon I will take down, or Ill die trying. So thats it. Its going to happen, were going to walk out in the square, politically, at high noon, and hes going to find out whether he makes a move man, make the move first, and then its going to happen, Jones said, miming a pistol with his hand.
Its not a joke. Its not a game. Its the real world. Politically. Youre going to get it, or Im going to die trying, bitch. Get ready. Were going to bang heads. Were going to bang heads.
In February, Joness online channel InfoWars received its second warningfrom YouTube for posting a video calling Parkland student David Hogg a crisis actor. Channels that receive three warnings from YouTube in three months are removed.

He should be arrested for that statement alone.

Gracias, Wwcd
