@DroughtHustla It's frightening isn't it? When I imply that Apple, Facebook and Youtube committed conspiracy in banning Alex, people call me an idiot. Yet it is fairly clear that they did, there by proving part of Akex's claims. What can you do when people look at plain truth and ignore it?

Do you all know what a "conspiracy" is? Example: It is legal to charge whatever you want for goods and services. However, if two or more companies get together and agree on pricing, then they have committed a major felony: conspiracy to fix prices. Same with banning Alex Jones.

@Mr_Anderson____ Looks to me like his conspiracy theories were correct. It sure looks like these three giants conspired against him.

@Mr_Anderson____ Good point

@DroughtHustla Me too. There are conspiracies everywhere these days.

@jeremyg55 Private actors may set prices, but they cannot collectively discuss prices. What is the fucking difference?

@scvfx @jeremyg55 On the fact that all three companies chose the same day, and virtually the same hour to ban him. Statistically, this is virtually impossible unless there were conversations among them.

@ChrisValence True

@pouchedfox Conspiracy!! Please God get a fucking clue!!! Companies may not collectively agree on any course of action whatsoever. Think of the fucking mess this world would be in if they were allowed to do so!! Please!!! Wake up!!!

@jawsomejones Collusion to limit free speech is also against the law, irrespective of the validity of limiting such speech as measured by each company acting alone.

@J_TheHoff @DroughtHustla So ... conspiracy is not a crime then? Please God, get real.

@J_TheHoff @DroughtHustla Yes, I'm afraid it is. If you are a corporate entity the rules of play are very different than for individuals.

@J_TheHoff @DroughtHustla Here is the problem: collective actions by large organizations are viewed as monopolistic actions. It does not matter what the action is, if it can be viewed as monopolistic, then serious repercussions are coming.
