UPDATE
Alex Jones statement:
After one strike was removed earlier in the week, YouTube hit the Alex Jones Channel with a third strike for a video that had already been appealed and restored.UPDATE 2:
In the video, Jones clearly explains how the victims of the Parkland shooting were not “crisis actors”.
YouTube’s flagging system is clearly being abused in a flagrant effort to shut down Infowars following a public campaign by CNN.
Americans should be ashamed to behave like Soviet censors. There's no legal or government remedy for a collective failure of character. https://t.co/b0VW0c7RTT— Joel B. Pollak (@joelpollak) March 4, 2018
UPDATE 3
I reached out to YouTube about this - it’s not true. Been informed there’s no plan to erase the channel tomorrow, as Jones says. https://t.co/VFiAIesB8A— Charlie Warzel (@cwarzel) March 4, 2018

Some more, according to YouTube:

YT DID tell Jones that advertisers reached out and asked to be removed from channel. But YT didnt tell Jones what he claims. Furthermore, YT says this isn’t even how the account termination process happens (getting advance warning)
The censorship is concerning, but Alex Jones is nutbar factor 9. Can't believe people take him seriously.
ReplyDeleteSadly, nutbar factor 9 is the only real competition the glorious free market has been able to offer to the likes of CNN.
DeleteJones is not 100% wrong on what he reports. Yes, his flair isn't appealing to me BUT he does hit some important hot-button issues with a fair modicum of accuracy, and does it better than the MSM a good bit of time. Even so, that the MSM and Establishment hate his guts makes me want to support him even more. He may be a fool but he's our fool, and if you don't like him you have the government and MSM to blame. Jones also has a huge audience who will glean more important and accurate information from his show than ANY the MSM dishes up.
