To any Trump haters out there, I would be a bit slower in celebrating this.
The left media has worked so hard to lump in people they don't, such as Ben Shapiro, Donald Trump, Alex Jones, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and others that when many people hear that Facebook banned Alex Jones, they will see it as the left banning just on the right.
I've never listend to or watched Alex Jones. I basically only know his name by people on the left screaming how bad of a person he is. I've heard enough about him to know he makes his money off of riling people up off of conspiracy theories and is an entertainer more so than any sort of newcaster. But still, I hear his name used whenever the media wants to try to label a person as super alt right. HIs name will be brought up with the others I listed above. Some of the others I know more from having seen or listened to some of their things.
The same will be true of many Americans. A big Shapiro fan will have been used to the Media lumping Shapiro and Jones together as both alt right lunatics. So what do you think they will be thinking when they hear Jones has been banned from many public forums? "How long until Shapiro is?" Hell Shapiro can hardly speak at a college university anymore because huge violent protests precede all of his events and they get cancelled.
Stuff like this may turn a bad person into a martyr.
Edit: Heck we already have people saying others should be banned like the Young Turks in retaliation. Some claim Jones told people to hurt others? Is that true? Did he actually tell people to harass others like Maxine Waters a representative did? Or did people who listen to him do that on their own accord? There is a big difference.
