It's a Mistake to 'Deplatform' Alex Jones (Or Anybody Else)

The only time I ever pay attention to Alex Jones is when somebody does a particularly funny compilation of his various screaming freakouts. I have no idea if Jones actually believes any of the nonsense he carries on about, but I don't take him seriously and I don't take his fans seriously.* He's a ridiculous clown who sells cruddy "nutritional" supplements to gullible morons. I do not like him. If you like him, I'm glad you don't like me.

Also, I think it's a mistake to "deplatform" him. That's the latest euphemism for "silencing people who say things we don't like." And the word "we" means anybody with more power than you.

Here's what one of the faceless corporations had to say about it, according to CNN:

"When users violate ... policies repeatedly, like our policies against hate speech and harassment or our terms prohibiting circumvention of our enforcement measures, we terminate their accounts," said a spokesperson for YouTube.
Yesterday, within a matter of hours, Apple, Facebook, and YouTube all removed Jones' content from their platforms. I don't know how many years Jones has been doing the same stuff at those places, but suddenly all three of them decided that enough was enough. Just like that. Hell of a coincidence, huh?
