Alex Jones masterfully used the notoriety of being banned by #BigTech to leverage more money out of tech-illiterate suckers.

Step 1) 404 your own site for a day
Step 2) Put up a landing page saying you're 'Under attack!'
Step 3) Link to your store & donations
Step 4) Profit💵💵
Say what you will, Alex Jones is a master advertiser and self-promoter. It's fascinating to watch.
Wish I had taken a screenshot later in the day, Alex had added a "Donate" button and a video message to the landing page as well.

The Purge has begun.

Anyone defending this will have no one to defend them when their speech is silenced.
@Infowars permanently banned from Facebook, Apple iTunes/Podcasts, & Spotify over ‘hate speech’ - criticism of Islam & transgenderism

#qanon
Americans don’t understand that by #BigTech deleting @Infowars, the same can happen to ANY of us for political speech.

That there is any joy over this Chinese-style censorship instead of outrage over a REAL attack on the free press is seriously f’d up!

@DailyCaller @Breitbart, @townhallcom @ScottAdamsSays @KurtSchlichter @benshapiro @realDailyWire @jordanbpeterson @glennbeck ALL of you are next, though they probably are just happy that their biggest competition are off-line now. #freeinfowars #WWG1WWGA

I forewarn anyone reading this article:

There are some of the most graphic images of atrocities committed by Islam against children inside (there is a warning message before images)
They include Nigerians burnt alive, their bodies disembowled, beheaded... But it has to be shown.
Inside the article is a journey discovering the hypocrisy of #BigTech & Mainstream Media.
Example:
Fulani Herdsmen of Nigeria are a radical Islamic extremist group responsible for the murder of tens of thousands of Christians.
Google/Wiki show HAPPY pics- they are MURDERERS.

Big Tech & Antitrust, featuring @makandelrahim, @Sally_Hubbard, @tylercowen, @zingales, and moderated by @davidfaber. #BigTech
: I'm reminded of US v Microsoft. Tech platforms controlling arena in which the game is played and also playing the game. Result: Playing field for competition that is quite distorted = Platform privilege. #BigTech
Question is whether they do have marketpower on the advertising side? Yes. Two providers control more than 80 percent of the market.... #BigTech

Interesting call to action from @markthompson1 and colleagues for #legogovernment Who doesn't want better public services with more resources going directly to serving those in need powered by a digital commons (the what)? What we really need though is more on the how! - #thread
1) I'm a big fan of @markthompson1 and his beligerent poking of government to be and do better in the #internet age. His thinking on #platform government #paas #gaap is right on the money. However, some things to consider as part of the debate...hopefully helpful...
2) I'm not sure comparisons between government and the big #tech #innovators of the past 10 years do the #legogovernment argument justice. There are too many differences for the comparison to be helpful. Think lack of democratic accountablity for starters (more now than ever!)...
