I mean, didn't he call sandy hooks a false flag attack or something?
That's not abusive behavior though. It's just a conspiracy theory.

Lol, and the video was all about how the left censors people! Seriously, I never gave Alex Jones much credence before this, but this getting him banned makes him much more credible in my mind.
>this getting him banned makes him much more credible in my mind Not to just be mean, but taken without further elaboration, this looks like petty contrarianism. It reminds me of the disturbing, poisonous following that so-called "banned" TED talks get from conspiracy-minded people based on nothing but the fact that it was banned. I'd like it if you'd elaborate more on what made you say it.

My point is there is a clear bias as to which extremists get banned from Twitter. I'm not saying Alex Jones is representative of the right.
I haven't seen evidence of this personally, so to me it's not "clear", but I also think there's a sparsity of data (these bannings are mostly few, high-profile cases). However, I absolutely do not doubt that it COULD happen, given the chance. Do you have anybody in mind that you would consider his opposite, politically, but comparable in the damaging/far-reaching nature of his rhetoric?
And in general I see very virulent rants directed against pro-life people, with death threats and the like.

Yes, the bullying was uncalled for. And what this has done has motivated me to look further into who Alex Jones is, and reversed my opinion back to him being a scumbag. Seems he is only a few ratings away from going full Holocaust denial in his mission to doubt all official accounts of anything.
He's an absolute, frothing-at-the-mouth nut job. It makes me sad how many people listen to him.
What happened to the HN I once knew. Anti-censorship no matter who the individual. The fact that we have the majority of people here celebrating censorship truly scares me.
The ultimate teardown is getting Twitter to un-person them.
(not my take, but thought it was interesting none the less)
The video that got him banned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne_wFdA-1oU
How can you say the words he said to that journalist and still have that big following? We have a huge information, media and education problem all over the globe, because similar things are happening in EU. Twitter just did the right thing, shutting one of the channel he had to insult, humiliate and contaminate brains of people with fake news.

What evidence is there that it’s a Russian psyop? Also, who are the “unwitting agents”? And why did this comment receive a downvote? Just asking for clarification.
Also, who are the “unwitting agents”? You are one of them, as an example. What evidence is there that it’s a Russian psyop? Have you noticed that if someone disagrees with a Qanon claim the followers ask, “What evidence is there that my claim is false?” But if someone makes a claim contrary to Qanon orthodoxy, the followers ask, “What evidence is there that your claim is true ?” You can’t have it both ways. You can’t…
