By Tyler Durden: Apple permanently banned Alex Jones' Infowars app from its
App Store late Friday, depriving the conservative host one of his last
remaining conduits to reach a mainstream audience. The New York Times reports
that an Apple spokeswoman said the app was removed under company
policies that prohibit apps which contain content that is "offensive,
insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust or in exceptionally poor
taste," however she did not note what specific content resulted in the
app's removal.
Jones and his empire have also been banned from YouTube, Facebook, Google Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, MailChimp, Disqus, Linkedin, Flickr, Pinterest and several others in what silicon valley swears wasn't a coordinated "unpersoning" of Jones.
"Because I play devil's advocate, because I play both sides, they've taken me out of context, they are using me as a test case to try to bring an EU style web censorship," Jones said several weeks ago. "They've got mainline Democratic senators saying they ought to restrict Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Matt Drudge, the President himself. They are misrepresenting what I've said and done and are using that to set a precedent for internet wide de-platforming, censorship beyond what Russia does, what China does, ahead of the midterms (election). The whole thing is fake."
