· The Alex Jones channel on Youtube received a strike from the company after violating the website's terms of service
· The violation was related to a video called "David Hogg Can't Remember His Lines in TV Interview" which accused activist & school shooting survivor David Hogg of being a "crisis actor" hired by ??? the government ??? (I think) to encourage anti-gun sentiment. The video was removed but not before it reached #1 on the trending page
· Channels that get 3 strikes in 3 months are shut down by Youtube
· Last year Youtube said it had updated its algorithm to prioritize news from trusted sources. They plan to increase their safety & moderation team to 10k by the end of this year

this changes nothing. youtube doesn't care about anything except that ad money.

mte

Yup, they just unbanned the ads from Logan Paul's channel too.

I completely agree with you. They also pull this with Logan Paul. At the end of the day it's just about the money.

Exactly.
YT loves this stuff.

Youtube? The outrage should be directed at InfoWars who are a right-wing propaganda machine. WTF do they think they're doing, attacking children who've just watched 17 of their classmates and teachers be slaughtered?

They shouldn't be allowed on Youtube at all. They promote hate speech and idiocy.

if infowars shouldn't be allowed on youtube at all, why shouldn't some of the outrage be directed toward youtube for still hosting the channel?

i can't believe things like infowars are allowed

when you're attacking people with lies & hate, and people believe them... that's so dangerous.

Infowars and FoxNews are responsible for a vast number of Trump voters who believe all the hateful propaganda and conspiracy theories they spew. They are a vile, disgusting excuse for spreading lies and distrust.

UGH why aren't there laws to prevent stuff like this?

why the FUCK is this shit allowed... "free speech" =/= hate speech

So he can get 2 strikes every 3 months and be fine. Fuck you YouTube.

This doesn’t surprise me. I was shutting down idiots on Facebook who were trying to share these conspiracies.

yeah my friend made a post about crisis actors and it disappeared from facebook and all her shitty friends went nuts over it

I'm in a private facebook group for Douglas alumni and I can't tell you how many people who actually graduated from the school have shared the conspiracy theory articles. It's insane to me because this is your community and the teachers who taught you have also taught these children, yet you think they're actors? It blows my mind.

some people cant deal with reality

mass shooting conspiracy theorists are the absolute scum of the earth

Truly concerning. I would cut someone out of my life so fast if they did that shit.

I really hope Alex Jones dies a slow and painful death.

i wish i knew where this piece of shit lived here in austin. i would do a billy madison and leave a huge pile of burning shit on his porch.

ETA OP can this be a politics post? i feel like so much shit has gone down today with the mueller investigation, dems flipping seats and jar jar kush.

also, apparently a few marines opened an envelope at a base and are now in the hospital? fucking scary.

They've now said the "substance" didn't test positive for being harmful but I'm pretty fucking sure bloody noses, burning sensations on the hands and in the throat aren't exactly normal physiological reactions to benign substances.

bloody noses are usually a sign of something. you touch something and it gives you a bloody nose, like ????????????? i'd be freaking the fuck out.

There was a lot of breaking news today for sure.

Also how is it ok that lots of republicans have gone on Alex Jones show and its not a big deal in the media. Like lets pretend lots of democrats went on this show. They would talk about it nonstop.

he likely lives in a massive mansion paid for by the bunk pills and merchandise he sells on his shit show.

I hope he and Roger Stone die painful deaths

if anything, david hogg is kind of right-leaning. he's out here quoting ronald reagan and shit. not sure why they chose to make a conspiracy out of him specifically.

Bc Republicnas are anti FBI now and his dad is an agent

which is funny because they claim to love law enforcement. i guess only when they're local cops and only when a POC gets shot by one

it has 2 now lmao

I plain dont understand this conspiracy. Are they saying the shooting never happened, like in Newtown? Or that it's totally unfathomable that teenagers would react like this when their school comes under fire?

I'm lost.

All of the above. These shootings/events always have the “conspiracy theory” people, almost immediately. They say the victims act too happy. They say the victims are crisis actors. They claim the same people can be seen at multiple shootings.

I used to think the conspiracy was just that it was “govt orchestrated” but it really has taken on this disgusting narrative.

Catch him in BEDDDDD with a strike on his youtube channel

lolll irl

didn't his thumb looking ass claim that his entire persona is an act during his divorce trial?

I don't think you can spout the hate and vitriol he does without eventually becoming a true believer.

lol he did, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up believing the shit he spews.

Gosh, a channel on youtube I follow, the host knew him before he blew up on InfoWars and said he was pretty reasonable back then (and this is a black guy), but now he's off his rocker.

i remember him just for that creepy bohemian grove shit -- i never watched him really talk until the past few years LMAO

something is wrong with him

he also literally said that he forgot details about his kids because he ate too much chilli so this dude ain't quite right in the head either way.

i think i remember him saying in some interview that he doesn't actually believe the shit he says, and that he was shocked that the right takes him seriously (bullshit). and then the right came out and said that the "leftists" controlling the interview "forced him" to say that stuff. how do these people even function

School shooter conspiracy theorists are the worst. Especially when they harass the families/victims.

Ugh, this fucking asshole.

I was so disgusted that that ABC ~Truth & Lies: Waco special actually gave him airtime, as if he's a reasonable commentator with sane views. And YouTube remains unscrupulous as all hell.

Why anyone gives him a platform is beyond me. Honestly we shouldn't even post about him here. Let's Ignore him unless we see him in person bc then it's our duty to push him down a set of stairs.

but gays uploading videos immediately get removed and the users are banned with no warning.
