Alex Jones and Infowars gets 'disappeared' - are we headed in the right direction?

[The Industrial Atheist]

He's a goofy con man. Can't stand him. But this presents a slippery slope. What happens when it's someone who is telling the truth but is saying things that the powers that be don't like?

Instead, easily refute his goofy arguments and claims. More people will believe you than him. It's only the most deluded people that would believe this guy. He was snarling in anger abut Brian freaking Stelter. He's obviously unhinged or a dramatic actor/con man. Both, likely.

To be clear they have every legal right to do this. That is not in doubt.

No it does not.

America has had a history of judicial review on speech and have been pretty consistent in protecting free speech. People vs Larry Flint is one of the most famous cases. Larry poked fun of Jerry Falwell's mother, but the fake booze add was clearly labeled PARODY. 

What is not protected speech is slander, liable and incitement. Alex had no intent in making it clear it was all an act and deliberately preyed upon fear and because of that the Sandy Hook victims have been HARMED by his actions. Those are subject to civil suits. Just like in the 60s 70s and 80s the KKK was successfully sued for it's speech that lead to harm of fellow citizens.

Things like South Park or Dave Shapel not in any danger. If you fear those types of parodies being harmed you have more to worry about from conservatives than liberals. Iran is an example of a conservative religious and POLITICALLY CORRECT state.

You have far more to fear from 45 than you do liberals when it comes to silencing free speech.

I'm talking about for instance, a Kyle Kulinski or The Scathing Atheist. Online outlets that tell the truth but are truths that corporate entities may not like. And they may not always be nice about how they tell those truths.
