YouTube Bans Alex Jones, Following Facebook's and Apple's Lead

Pardon me, if I misunderstood you.

Jones is already mainstream. He is not going to get smaller if you give him bigger platforms.

Unrelated question.

Can somebody explain to me, how he went from "9/11 was inside job, police are jackbooted thugs, anti Bush, anti Obama" to being pro police, pro government?

I want to understand the logic behind this.

Unfortunately your question starts with an untenable premise ;)

How indeed? Best not talk about it here on hackernews though, it's wrongthink and will get you banned.

Remember there's no conspiracy to control the narrative. It's totally a coincidence that Alex Jones got banned from Youtube, itunes, and Facebook simultaneously.

I'm surprised that such an established HN user as you would say something that absurd about HN moderation.

I've been here long enough right? I've seen it happen, my share of [dead] comments.

Maybe so, but "wrongthink"? That's not even close to accurate.
