Alex Jones/Info Wars - Statement on YouTube shutdown

[Bueller]

Why is it that consumers are encouraged to change the channel but broadcasters shouldn't have the same choice? Alex Jones is an opportunistic huckster that preys on the stupid by feeding them bullshit.

Facebook has a 120 Billion market cap. Like any business, it's reputation directly affects its value. So why can't Zuckerburg say to his board, "I don't want to be in the moron business. Jones' low IQ content devalues our brand. Let the mouthbreathers find it somewhere else."

This statement, these sentiments, are what makes me lose hope for American ideals. This is saying people are generally too stupid to know what to watch and need to be coddled.
If you don't like someone don't watch or listen to them. This is the tip of the iceberg. Over moderation contributed to the death of this board.

When you stop freedom of speech, you stop freedom of ideas.
