If you ban a conspiracy theorist, doesn't that give him credibility among conspiracy theorists? Suddenly he's right. Suddenly there is a conspiracy between facebook, youtube, etc, to ban him. Suddenly he's a prophet rather than a satirical nut. What he said would happen came true.
There seems to be a dumbing down of America, where we expect corporations to be the ones to decide things are right or wrong, rather than letting individuals make up their own minds and spot satire or bad will or exaggeration on their own. Anyone watching Alex Jones could laugh at some of his more ridiculous claims. Just because some people believed every word he said..
How is anyone better off now that he's banned? People who didn't watch him still don't watch him. People who did watch him still watch him ( maybe moreso because they downloaded his app ), and people who were on the fence maybe think he was right.
