Good riddance, let him sell his supplements along with the pedophiles in the deep web.

Youtube is a private company, and should be able to do ban whomever they please, for whatever they please. However, this doesn't exactly help the narrative that social media isn't actively censoring one side of the political aisle.

Wow! You quickly submitted to what looks like the new tech plutocratic fascist.

Congratulations!

You consider Alex Jones to be a legitmate political commentator?

No, I do not. But there are many others that I do not consider legitimate political commentators that escape censorship by the same platforms.

I agree with this. But it's interesting how it's a freedom of speech issue when the president wants to block someone on a social media platform, but it isn't a freedom of speech issue whenever a social media platform chooses to ban someone because they disagree with their content. It seems like a pretty blatant double standard.

Who claimed that?

The president is a government body, hence the Twitter non-nos
