Ingraham on Tech ‘Corporate Censorship’: ‘This Isn’t About Alex Jones — It’s About Freedom and Access to Information’Breitbart
8 Aug 2018Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle” during her show’s monologue, host Laura Ingraham questioned the motives of tech companies, including Facebook and Apple, banning Alex Jones and Infowars from its platforms.
Ingraham argued the focus shouldn’t be on what was banned but the idea that the public’s freedom to make these choices on their own was being infringed upon...
....A leaked proposal circulating amongst democrats outlines a detailed plan to take over the internet by regulating digital platforms and purging content they deem harmful or inaccurate. In other words, information they don’t like. They would require social media users to be tracked and labeled according to how reasonable their content is deemed to be. Democrat Senator Chris Murphy even hinted at this yesterday, tweeting, Infowars is a tip of a giant iceberg of hates and lies, that uses sites like Facebook and YouTube to tear our nation apart. These companies must do more than take down one website. The survival or our democracy depends on it.
How dramatic. Translation: the survival of the democratic party depends on it. There’s an old saying in TV and radio that content is king. Same goes for the internet. If they can shut down political speech on the grounds that it’s hateful, you have to ask where does this end? If you want to see hate, check out some of the comments on my Twitter feed after the show tonight. Then you’ll see hateful.
Why do leftists always seem to escape big techs censors? I don’t know Louis Farrakhan comes to mind. He’s a casual racist, of course, and an anti-Semite who called white people “potential humans,” praised Hitler and blamed Jews for 9/11.
Well, he’s still standing tall on his Facebook page — has a million followers. And what about those who traffic in violence? If Facebook really cares about standards or safety, I don’t think they would be granting ANTIFA chapters from coast to coast where their pages can plug their next thuggish beat down of conservatives with their black hoods and all. And by the way, if there’s so much concern over conspiracy theories like the one Alex Jones peddles, well, do moments like this give social media kings pause?
