The underground artists of Hollywood strike again:

and gadfly alex jones has been banned by the tech companies.
He supports conspiracy theories, and encourages the paranoid and mentally ill in their delusions. But he isn't full of hate speech as far as I know.
The last time I listened to him was a couple years ago when he tried to crash Bilderberg or someone like that, but Kuya sometimes checks out the latest scandal on his site.
But a ban by all the tech companies seems over the top: There are apps and other ways to listen to him out there: his app is now number 3 on the apple store, and I believe some internet radio stations carry him too.
I believe he is also on short wave radio.
When we were in Africa, the local news was censored, so we used our short waves to listen to the BBC's Africa service to find out what was going on. It is also where I became a fan of Monte Python and the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy.
but young folks all have smart phones (not me: too small for my fat fingers).
as for twitter bans: Two conservative anti Francis Catholic sites have had their twitter feed suspended. Presumably their anti pedophile bishop rants was interpreted as homophobia hate speech.
as if an ordinary ethical gay would think preying on young men under their care, using money donated for charity to live it up, and /or using it for hush money was okay. Sheeesh.
St Athanasius, call your office. The world is against you again.
