No where to go but down. |
Progressives and survivors of the most recent mass shootings are calling upon Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter to end the relationship with Alex Jones. Dorsey who appeared recently on NBC News to discuss his decision to keep the far right happy. I mean he went on Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival.
Hannity is just as bad as Jones and yet, Dorsey goes to him to discuss these matters.
This week, Jones was banned from Twitter and Periscope at least for a week after he openly called for an armed resistance against those who attacked him and InfoWars.
Then he decided to go to Tumblr to promote his agenda. Now there's call for Verizon/Oath, Inc, the companies that owns Tumblr to sever ties with him.
The biggest shock to Jones is the apparent closure of his longtime flagship station.
The Austin American-Statesman reported Wednesday that the pirate radio station, Liberty Radio, was hit with a $15,000 fine and at least temporarily pulled from the airwaves.
The newspaper reported that a lawsuit filed in federal court in Austin alleged that Liberty Radio had functioned without a license since at least 2013, and had been transmitting from a tower at an Austin apartment complex.
Liberty Radio stopped airing on the radio in December, but still streams online. The FCC is charging that the station was also illegally broadcasting on an FM wavelength.
The Associated Press reported that Walter Olenick and M. Rae Nadler-Olenick were named as the defendants in the lawsuit, and the apartment complex where the station was transmitting from is linked to the pair.
The Olenicks reportedly told the FCC that they would not pay the fine and would treat any agency representatives as trespassers.
Jones, a conspiracy theorist who founded the site Infowars, has recently been banned by several platforms, including Facebook, Apple and YouTube.
Infowars and Jones's content has also been pulled from Spotify and Vimeo, and Twitter placed restrictions on the accounts for Jones and his site.
