First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I don't believe Alex Jones is news or a journalist. He's a conspiracy theorist who puts out hate speech (he's not the only one--there are plenty on the left too). I do not believe it will in any way hurt a voter's ability to make an informed choice. I cannot imagine how it could possibly inform someone and change their vote one way or the other. And there are plenty of informed journalists out there--he's just not one of them.

Interesting take on it. Here's the reason I disagree: whether or not they should determine what is hate speech, they have the right to. Alex Jones does not own his right to the content he puts on social media. We expect them to determine what is a Russian bot, too, and eliminate fake accounts. Marketing experts have for years advised people to never depend on FB, etc., since you do not own the content you put on it. I know several people who make money on-line who have lost a lot of business when that business model failed them. The company who owns it has all the power--the one posting does not. And that's made very clear in their "rules." Those experts always say have your own website and put out all the content you want to. I have a good friend who is black and got banned several times for saying something about white people (which was true--but she got reported for hate speech). The question was whether or not the voters will be hurt by not seeing Alex Jones right before the mid-terms, and I can't see how his disappearance from social media forever could possibly leave one voter in the U.S. uninformed.

PO3 (Join to see) - LOL. I'm way too unimportant for Russia to create one of those--I wouldn't pass along anything they wanted me to. In case you don't believe in these, I get lots of fake social media requests, at least a couple a day. You can often tell when they are (I suspect) foreign because they will get a name wrong (like Barbara for a man), or use names and photos from a military general officer or other officer (some I actually know). After awhile you see the same pics with different names. When you look at their photos of friends, they are all eastern european sounding names, and they aren't real either. It's really crazy. I have a friend who is pretty good technically and he says bots will be the wave of the future for marketing--not Russian but just bots in general. I am not technical so he thinks it's fascinating and he would like to make money using them, but I wouldn't have a clue.

SFC Pete Kain - Question ?
1. Are they so desperate that they feel they are loosing a grip and just going full retard and throwing for full Socialism/Communism ?
Or
2. The plan is on schedule and they are just taking the next step?
The reason I frame it this way is because Alex Jones has cause far less damage than Antifa, yet Antifa is still not listed as any form of Terrorist or Hate group.
And Alex throws in drama for his viewers humor and he is banned.
If I'm missing how and why Antifa is kept out of legal issues then I'm more than willing to listen.

PO3 (Join to see) - I think Antifa is the militant arm of the Democrat party, and is protected. This could be the first shot in a full blown attack on conservatives, trying to shut them down before the mid-terms
