Alex Jones and Infowars

Content Is Removed From Apple,

Facebook and YouTube

• Aug. 6, 2018

Top technology companies erased most of the posts and videos on their services from Alex Jones,
the internet’s notorious conspiracy theorist, thrusting themselves into a fraught debate over their role
in regulating what can be said online.

Apple, Google, Facebook and Spotify severely restricted the reach of Mr. Jones and Infowars,
his right-wing site that has been a leading peddler of false information online.
Mr. Jones and Infowars have used social media for years to spread dark and bizarre theories,
such as that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax and that Democrats run a global child-sex ring.

Apple made its move on Sunday and the others followed on Monday.

The actions, one of the tech companies’ most aggressive efforts against misinformation,
highlighted a difficult dilemma for their businesses.

They have long desired to combat misinformation online, but they have also been reluctant to be arbiters of truth.

But since a rise of misinformation online around elections, such as the 2016 presidential vote,
the tech companies have faced increasing calls from lawmakers and the news media to address their role
in that spread of false information and a related increase in partisan divisions. T

he tech companies have recently stepped up enforcement

— but that has led to accusations of political bias, largely from conservatives.


The moves over the last two days helped fuel that debate.

“Whether you like @RealAlexJones and Infowars or not,
he is undeniably the victim today of collusion by the big tech giants,” Nigel Farage,
a British conservative politician, said on Twitter.

Mr. Farage helped lead the successful campaign for the country to leave the European Union
and has been interviewed by Mr. Jones. “What price free speech?”

Apple on Sunday removed five of the six Infowars podcasts on its popular Podcasts app.
Commenting on the move, a spokeswoman said, “Apple does not tolerate hate speech.”

Facebook, Spotify and Google’s YouTube site, which removed some Infowars content last week, followed with stronger measures on Monday. Facebook removed four pages belonging to Mr. Jones, including one with nearly 1.7 million followers as of last month, for violating its policies by “glorifying violence” and “using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants.” Facebook said the violations did not relate to “false news.”
YouTube terminated Mr. Jones’s channel, which had more than 2.4 million subscribers and billions of views on its videos, for repeatedly violating its policies, including its prohibition on hate speech. Spotify cited its own prohibition on hate speech as the reason for removing a podcast by Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones and Infowars are leaders in using the internet to spread right-wing conspiracy theories, an effort that was aided after Donald J. Trump appeared on Mr. Jones’s show during the 2016 presidential campaign and praised Mr. Jones’s reputation as “amazing.” Mr. Jones has repeatedly claimed that the government staged the Oklahoma City bombing, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and numerous other mass shootings and tragedies.

Mr. Jones is facing defamation lawsuits filed by the parents of victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting
for claiming that the shooting was an elaborate hoax. Most of Mr. Jones’s conspiracies
push a theme that a global cabal of political and corporate leaders run the world’s institutions
to brainwash citizens and take away their rights. Mr. Jones partly finances his operation
by selling expensive nutritional supplements and vitamins between Infowars segments.

“To many, Jones is a bad joke,” said the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups.

“But the sad reality is that he has millions of followers who listen to his radio show,
watch his ‘documentaries’ and read his websites, and some of them,
like Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, resort to deadly violence.”
Mr. Jones and Infowars did not respond to requests for comment.

In a message posted on Twitter on Monday, Mr. Jones said:

“The censorship of Infowars just vindicates everything we’ve been saying.
Now, who will stand against Tyranny and who will stand for free speech?
We’re all Alex Jones now.”

He railed against the tech companies on his live show on Monday,
which was streamed on the Infowars website, saying their moves were part of a leftist agenda
in advance of the midterm elections. “I told you this was coming,” he said to viewers.

The big tech firms that control, via their websites and apps, how much of the world’s media content
is distributed have faced criticism in recent weeks for enabling Mr. Jones and Infowars.

Some tech companies, including Facebook and Google, had appeared reluctant to remove Mr. Jones’s pages
entirely and were instead taking action against specific videos or podcasts.

YouTube, for instance, recently deleted four of Mr. Jones’s videos.

A Google spokesman said on Monday that YouTube terminated Mr. Jones’s channel outright
because he continued to flout policies he had already been penalized for violating.

Mr. Jones had amassed millions of followers, but limiting his influence does not solve the problem of false news.

Hundreds of smaller publishers promote similar conspiracy theories, and millions of followers
help spread those theories by reposting them.

A new conspiracy theory called Qanon, for instance, has been gaining traction outside
of Mr. Jones’s sphere.

And Infowars followers can also still repost videos and articles from the site onto YouTube and Facebook.

But the moves are a significant hit to Mr. Jones’s ability to reach wide audiences, and particularly new followers

. YouTube was a particularly important distribution channel, in part because YouTube’s recommendation engine
frequently surfaced past Infowars videos to users who had shown interest in conservative topics.

Terminating his YouTube channel erases all of its past videos and restricts it from posting new ones.

Mr. Jones and Infowars still have other ways to reach listeners and readers.

They have increasingly been directing viewers to visit the Infowars website,
which would limit their reliance on the tech companies, presumably foreseeing the bans.

Twitter has not restricted the accounts of Mr. Jones or Infowars.

A Twitter spokesman said the accounts were not in violation of Twitter’s rules.

Other tech companies’ approach has been uneven; they have left up Infowars content on some of their services
despite removing it from others.

Infowars introduced a new smartphone app last month that is finding users on Apple’s App store
and Google’s Play Store. From July 12 through Monday, the Infowars app was, on average,
the 23rd most popular news app on the Google Play store and the 33rd most popular news app on Apple’s App Store,
according to App Annie, an app analytics firm.

On Monday, the Infowars app ranked ahead of apps like BuzzFeed and The Wall Street Journal on Google,
and ahead of apps like MSNBC and Bloomberg on Apple.

Apple decided to allow the Infowars app on its store after reviewing it,
according to a person close to the company who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The Google Play Store has different policies than YouTube, a Google spokesman said.
Matt Rivitz, a freelance copywriter who helps run a Twitter account, Sleeping Giants,
that pressures companies to distance themselves from far-right groups,
said Monday that the tech companies’ nearly simultaneous moves against Mr. Jones
proved they were acting in response to public pressure, not new data showing he broke rules.

By Ishani Ghose · Published On : 02:27 PST, 3 Jun 2018


The actor has sparked off a lot of concern and shock after looking very different while touring Russia

Johnny Depp has sparked off a lot of concern and shock after looking very different
while touring Russia with his rock band.

Many fans were quick to comment on Depp's pale and gaunt appearance.

Many were concerned that the 'Pirates of the Carribean' star is ill.

Johnny showed his expensive tattoo work as he sported a T-shirt with the slogan
"Stay humble or be humbled."

He was seen posing with several of his fans as he finished off the look with many necklace
s and distressed denim jeans. Many fans took to Instagram to comment on his appearance.

One fan commented, "He looks pale here. Hope he's okay." While another added,
"He looks like this for a new movie. He is fine and not sick."

Johnny Depp is currently on a mammoth world tour with his band, Hollywood Vampires

. The shocking pictures were taken at the Four Seasons hotel in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Johnny Depp plays the guitar alongside Alice Cooper and Joe Perry.

Depp is all set to make a comeback to the movie screen later this year as he plays the role of Grindelwald
in Harry Potter spin-off, 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald'.

The author of the Harry Potter series, JK Rowling has had to defend her decision to cast Depp given his past few rocky years.

The statement read, "Based on our understanding of the circumstances,
the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable sticking with our original casting
but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies."

Depp was seen earlier in the week in Moscow with a pair of sunglasses and a hat posing
at the State Museum of Mayakovsky in Moscow.

The photograph also provoked a lot of concern with people calling him "sick" and "weak".

Depp left a message in a visitor book and the thrilled museum shared the note.

It read: "I have been completely humbled by your hospitality and such proximity to the genius of Mayakovsky.
All my respect, Johnny Depp."

Johnny Depp has had a rocky past few years and the actor was previously accused of domestic violence
by his ex-wife Amber Heard after their split in the year 2016.

According to court documents, Heard said
, "During the entirety of our relationship, Johnny has been verbally and physically abusive to me."

The couple's friend Tillet Wright confirmed Heard's account of abuse
and said that he had witnessed it and called the police.

Last fall a video obtained by TMZ was released which showed Depp being both physically and verbally abusive.
Depp can be heard saying, "Did something happen to you this morning? I don't think so!"
before smashing a wine bottle and saying, "You want to see crazy, I'll give you fucking crazy."

Two of Johnny Depp's former bodyguards filed a lawsuit against the 54-year-old acto
r for many alleged offenses, including unpaid wages, overtime, wrongful and unlawful business practices.

As reported by E!News, according to court documents the guards claimed, "exposed to unsafe working conditions
and essentially used as babysitters and chauffeurs for Depp, his children, and his entourage."

WHO IS Q ?

Bob Powell
9/AUG/2018 5:00PM EST
Three possible members of the Q group:
Paul Manafort
Jack Dorsey
Hope Hicks

"You'll be surprised when you find out who's been talking to you." Q

This is just a guess,
but Dorsey is the only Big Tech CEO not to ban Alex Jones,
who played a huge roll on getting DJT elected.

Very few people would have been able
to change the filename of Trump's victory pic to "DOITQ,"
and Dorsey is one of them.

Susan Lynne Schwenger says:
LARK 2 = 31922=17 = JFK jr.
LARK = 3192 = 15 = JFK, PRESIDENT
LARK1 = 31923 = 16 = CAROLINE
however, LARK 3=18= JFK jr, son
(if he was still alive, maybe he and caroline have had a son) ???

and, it makes me ponder things about
this Vincent Fusca, at a Trump Ralley
why was the life-long Secret Service Agent
who walked with JFK Jr. sitting next to him ???
