Alex Jones is a meme, but I do sometimes agree with him. I obviously support Trump like him, but sometimes for different reasons. Here is a nice video to show that Jones gay frog meme is actually backed by scientific studies.

What is occurring is that the frogs sex-organs are changing from male to female and vice-versa, not sure you know much about biology... But many species of Animals exhibit such behavior naturally. - In-fact if you ever watched Jurassic Park, the reason why the Dinosaurs were able to reproduce is because the Frog DNA they chose was from a species that could change it's gender... And you can guess the implications of that.

So no. It's not turning the frogs gay, it's changing the frogs gender. Don't conflate sexuality and gender, they are two different constructs.

Facebook and Youtube are so big that if they start to pick and choose who can use their service, one could argue that it is unfair.

Start your own service that competes.
Free market and all that.

My question was poorly worded. I meant why are you so against policing hate speech? See if I hear someone spewing hate speech I dont go out and start acting on it. I'm sure some people do, but thats because they're already hateful to begin with. I believe all speech should be allowed and you fight hate speech with more speech. But people seem to be arguing for shutting down speech, including on FB, YT etc. Forget about the argument regarding it being their TOS, what we have here is people that want to limit/hamper AJ's and others ability to reach people. Period.

Facebook has always been a moderated platform anyway, they are just targeting more high-profile outlets this time around.

this is NOT censorship.

I mean, you could say it's censorship. It's just not censorship of free speech guaranteed by the government, since all those sites are privately owned. 

Agreed, its not government censorship. But its concerning when major left leaning outlets all come together to silence someone they oppose.

You islamophobe.

Yeah but shouldn't we be phobic against ideologies that promote sexism and homophobia?

Peh said:

If they are indeed hate speech go on and report them. 

Phrases promoting sexism, homophobia and eternal punishment for non-Muslims in the Quran and many other religious scriptures are plenty. Why are they allowed on those same platforms that just banned Alex Jones? The amount of hatred spread by Alex is minuscule to that spread by religions, especially Islam in this day and age.

This is just the beginning of a slippery slope, sure, Alex is an ass and everyone is happy now, but I am sure I will not be when my fave political commentators get banned next because they don't blend or believe every piece of news reported by the corporate media. 

Never, hate is only acceptable against Men, Straight people, Rich, White and Jesus Christ... the powerfull people, you know?

Your comment is funny because the majority of people who are disagreeing with you in this thread are probably white, straight, christian males.

Well at this point I think the average user of the most popular websites know they're incredibly bias and cater to popular left wing views.

People with opposing views will continue to use those websites though because they have a massive audience, essentially a monopoly. But fortunately services like Patreon allow people to support creators directly while YouTube demonetizes opposing views.

No they shouldn't nobody on the left is as crazy as Alex Jones.  The guy is insane snake oil salesman that does nothing more then tell lies, alternate facts and pushes crazy right wing conspiracy theories like pizza gate, frogs being turned gay by water, that Hillary is possessed by demons and other kind of crazy BS.

I beg to differ.
There are a ton of crazies on the far left that propagate their own alternative-facts and pseudo-science, just like the far-right, they are just as bad as each other.
Best place to be is in the center where you can weigh up the argument from either side and go with what is more logical or what has more empirical evidence.

There are many arguments put forth by the far right that I fundamentally agree and disagree with... And the same holds true for the far-left, I will however not discard either stance just because they are an opponent.

I highly suggest you look up the "Horseshoe theory".

The worst you have on the left is some anti vaxxers that's about it.  Also the far left never mixes their craziness with religion but on the far right it is common that the craziest members are also religious and they mix their religion with their craziness.  That is why Alex Jones is on whole other level of crazy not only is a regular nut he is also a religious nut.

People on the left get demonetizes just as much as people on the right on Youtube.  If you don't want to get demonetized you have to be very politically correct and PG rated otherwise its a very good chance your stuff will get demonetized eventually.

what my comment was meant to say is, it's not true that the majority of the people who are disagreeing with you, or leftist/liberal white men in general, support hate against them self.
