Alex Jones Google Slap.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure google pulled all of Jone's videos from youtube a couple of years back. His response was to have his readers repost the videos on thousands of accounts, basically making it near impossible for youtube to pull. I guess they gave him his privileges back, only to suspend them once again.
The guy has more viewers/listeners/visitors than tons of other news sites, I don't think this will effect his popularity or reach very much at all.

^ Yeah I remember when they killed his first account. But this time they also removed both of his sites from Google News.
alex jones doesn't belong in the valid new sources, he is an insane paranoid crazy person who needs medication, but the removal of youtube that is indeed true censorship that shouldn't of happened, even crazy people deserve the right to have a place to share their moronic thoughts, follow me on http://youtube.com/user/Search_For_Proof_That_Earth_Is_Center_Of_The_Universe
YouTube is a private website, as is Google. They can yank anyone they like. You have no free speech rights with another individual's property. Alex Jones should learn to read the terms of service when he signs up for something.
The right to free speech is a right that government cannot legislatively compromise (constitutionally). It doesn't mean people can come on Wickedfire or YouTube and say anything they like.

true, but i don't think he's taking this to any court other than public opinion. and though it is fully in their right to do so, this _is_ obvious censorship.
don't see why google/youtube would do this when they know doing this to someone as big as Alex Jones just gives him credibility.
Either way, it'll probably hurt his bottom line a little because he monetizes the shit out of his websites. That's most likely the real reason he's pissed.
He monetizes the crap out of his followers. The Midas Resources gold and silver dealer advertised on his site is owned by his company. Every show he has them on talking about gold and silver being totally sold out worldwide and why they need to buy from them before its gone.
He for sure is going to lose money from all of this, unless it bring him more publicity.

These guys are getting too dangerous for the guys at the top, hence the censorship

Fuck Google. They better thread lightly, it's shit like this that brings down titans. picking and choosing is a slippery slope..
He was also calling it censorship when Google would remove the keyword of the day from google trends that he told all his followers to go and type into google.com
I have no issue with gaming the system but don't bitch and suggest it was a legitimate trend when they pull it.

In a similar vein, the EU is now looking into Google. Maybe Jones timing is perfect, interms of getting leverage to achieve his desired outcomes. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/01/technology/01google.html
