Where are the advocates for a free and open internet now?

Alexander Emric Jones aka Alex Jones the Infowarrior has been banned from nearly all important media platforms in a coordinated strike on the same day.

Facebook, Apple, YouTube and Spotify ban Infowars' Alex Jones

All but one of the major content platforms have banned the American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, as the companies raced to act in the wake of Apple’s decision to remove five podcasts by Jones and his Infowars website.

Remember when the scam called net neutrality (government FCC control over the internet) was preached by Google, YouTube, Apple to guarantee a free internet for all?

I predict that supporters of net neutrality are going to defend this.

Finally. It's just disgusting how this guy made a fortune out the paranoia and social weakness of his viewers.

I hate, hate, hate Alex Jones and his conspiracy crap and lies. That being said, this was a huge mistake by these companies. He should have the right to express his stupid opinions on their platforms. I fear they have only made him more dangerous now. 

Took a single reply to have someone defending it kkkkk.

In Brazil the left wing also was defending a similar system. Facebook obviously had it interest in it as well.

Couple weeks ago FB banned hundred pages and profiles of right wing posters under a "hunt on fakenews", not a single left winged person or page was take down. But the left wing swears there was no bias on FB action.

I feel like this will get ugly with retaliations of sorts

There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding about net neutrality here, because as fitting as this comparison might seem at first glance, it actually makes very little sense here.

Net neutrality is just a scam anyway. It was just a way for government, that everybody supposedly doesn't trust nor want them to have full control, to have complete control. The truth is that big companies support it because the ISPs were charging them more money since they used so much bandwidth. It really was just a way for billion dollar companies to save a few bucks. The internet was fine for ~2 decades without net neutrality, it'll be fine without it now. Which has been ever since we got rid of it.

As a lot of people have already pointed out, this has nothing to do with net neutrality, and isn't censorship in any way either. Yes, he has the right to express his opinions, but freedom of speech doesn't entitle him to have a platform to spread his message.
