The Economic Collapse<\/strong>

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

August 6th was one of darkest days in the history of the Internet.\u00a0 When I learned that Facebook, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Pinterest and others had colluded to take down content from Alex Jones all on the same day, I knew exactly what was happening.\u00a0 They timed their attack so that it would hit the press at the beginning of the weekly news cycle on Monday so that their purge would have maximum societal impact.\u00a0 And the fact that there was such overt collusion was obviously meant to send a message.\u00a0 We were supposed to understand that if they can do this to Alex Jones, they can do it to any of us, and so we better shut up and fall in line.\u00a0 I can\u2019t even begin to tell you how sick I feel right now.\u00a0 The big tech giants have made it abundantly clear how they feel about all of us, and there is no future for alternative points of view on any of their platforms.<\/em><\/p>\n

The current purge of conservative voices has been going on for months<\/a>, but this is the biggest bombshell by far.\u00a0 The following excerpt from a Los Angeles Times article<\/a> is a typical example of how the mainstream media covered this story\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Major technology companies including Apple, Facebook and YouTube deleted years of content from conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his Infowars platforms over allegations of hate speech, a sudden clampdown that is fueling the growing debate over how big technology companies choose to censor.<\/p>\n

The move was unusual for its sweep and speed, suggesting a new assertiveness by technology companies that in the past have worked to avoid alienating conservatives, who often assert that left-leaning Silicon Valley is biased against them. The removals appeared to be prompted by more users flagging Infowars content for policy violations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition to the \u201cbig three\u201d, Spotify and Pinterest pulled down content from Infowars as well, and there is no way that this could have been done simultaneously unless it was planned well in advance.\u00a0 Lawyers have to be consulted, CEOs have to give their approval, etc.\u00a0 This was a cold-blooded move that was carefully calculated down to the finest details.<\/em><\/p>\n
