“I was born in censorship. I was born being suppressed,” he said.
Worst. suppression. ever.
This is a cowardly act by Spotify.
Spotify can distribute and cash-in on content generated by this violent, lying, racist without anyone hearing what he really stands for.
Instead of rejecting hate-speech, Spotify is whitewashing for the perpetrators of it.
I’m sure there are a lot of people who wish your mother had suppressed your father’s sperm before you were ever conceived.
Yep, asshles have a god-given right to use whatever means they want to spread their assholery, and anyone who slows them down even a little is an evil suppressor.
Wonder if his mother is proud of him. Mine would slap me upside the head and give me an earful if I spouted that kind of hateful tripe.
“He now admits the shooting occurred but says his claims were free speech.”
Trump is taking notes. The “amazing” Alex Jones is claiming viscious, blatant lies that defame other people are free speech. Good to know. Run with it, Dotard. When you perjure yourself under oath to Mueller, just bop on back to the ranch and start a little twitter rant about free speech. Just do it.
The fact that Alex Jones is even a thing shakes my faith in American institutions to the core.
Ah, yet another jackass who doesn’t understand the concept of free speech as enshrined in the Constitution. Like freedom, free speech isn’t free.
And of course it was not ‘his’ fault that people that watched his HATEFUL LYING podcasts then threatened and bullied the FAMILIES whose crime was lying about their DEAD CHILDREN. Their existence to deny that their children were “fake persons” was enough of an incentive for these hideous people to attack the families.
This is the downside of everybody being ‘internet’ tuned. Those QANON people being interviewed at Trump’s Tampa speech were scary. Now JFK JUNIOR is in charge of those battling the Deep State? He faked his f-ing DEATH? What about his beautiful wife? I mean this is NUTS.
100 bucks says he’ll say it was satire at some point.
“I was born in censorship. I was born being suppressed,” he said.
Then you were born a hateful liar and you have continued in that identity to this day. Now come the consequences for spewing hateful, untrue filth. It’s called rejection. It’s not persecution or suppression. It’s just rejection. We reject you and your message. Now get permanently lost.
May you someday soon find enlightenment and emerge from the fog of your hate-filled need to slime others for your own greedy benefit.
(Not holding my breath. For one thing I have asthma. For another, it ain’t likely at this point.)
Yes, it is “Free Speech”, but Free Speech does not protect you against civil lawsuits and it isn’t covered in Spotify’s TOS.
something to watch for/Jones’s block might be temporary.
However well-intentioned it may have been, Spotify’s controversial policy to reduce “hate content and hateful conduct” on the streaming platform was short-lived. The company announced Friday that while its policy against hate content remains in place, it will not “play judge and jury” when it comes to artist conduct.
I wanted to add that he DOXED the families on his shows so that people could ‘get in their faces about lying about their fake dead children.’
He is despicable. His fans are despicable. We as a country ‘have’ to put up with despicable people, I know that. But at this moment I can’t think of anybody ‘bottomer of the barrel’ than Alex Jones is.
I am getting madder and madder about this story, and yesterday, when he f-ing SUED them for his court costs, well, let’s just say I got super pissed. I said NINE damn rosaries yesterday to calm down from this. It generally works, and THEN I ran into THIS little ray of noxious gas this morning and it’s going to be BACK to my rosaries.
I ‘know’ that ‘triggering’ ME is the object of the whole exchange but I as a human being am SO PISSED.
BTW the rosaries generally work for me. But I know they would not work for others. WE have got to get to a calm place to take these a-holes OUT legally. (Oh, but the Pope just said death penalty is anti-Catholic, so I’ll have to start thinking of different solutions.)
He now admits the shooting occurred but says his claims were free speech.
The speech was free. The lawsuit and any damages you end up having to pay are tuition for your crash course on the First Amendment.
I think I heard that song before.
Oh yeah, that was called something like Facebook.
Bet Jones will be back singing a kidnapping child trafficking pepperoni pizza song and loons will be headbanging to it.
Likely in less than three months.
We’ve talked about this, but one of the things that blows me away is this notion of ‘frieh spiech’ meaning ‘anything goes’.
I’d like to say that the Jones move surprised me, but I think what surprised me more was R. Kelly’s private (and sordid) life being a lot more important than Infowars getting reined in, but hey
‘Americuh’
