Facebook Bans Louis Farrakhan, Milo Yiannopoulos, InfoWars and Others
I&#x27;m not a fan of either of these people, but how exactly are Milo Yiannopolous and Paul Joseph Watson &quot;dangerous&quot;?  Maybe it&#x27;s not good material for people to be watching, but to call them &quot;dangerous&quot; comes off like the religious right of yore claiming that video games depicting violence are dangerous and need to be censored.<p>I wouldn&#x27;t normally step in to defend these people, but this article by CNN is a prime example of why people don&#x27;t trust the media.  Note the use of the word &quot;fringe&quot; in reference to people like Paul Joseph Watson, despite the number of views and subscribers(1.6 million) he has on YouTube alone.  The word &quot;fringe&quot; used to mean something a lot more, well... fringe, but it&#x27;s obvious that CNN and other outlets believe that <i>they</i> are official while everyone not sanctioned by Big Advertising is fringe.<p>Facebook used to be popular because it was, at one point, <i>fun</i>.  If they&#x27;re going to remove all the voices they think are &quot;dangerous&quot;, what they&#x27;re left with won&#x27;t be fun or interesting.  Just lukewarm, milquetoast, or worse... <i>lopsided</i>.<p>Sadly, I suspect that Facebook&#x27;s stock will continue to climb despite how restrictive it is, how uninteresting it is, and how many people are leaving it.<p>EDIT: I do appreciate those who haven&#x27;t taken my comment as a denial of wrongdoing by subjects I mentioned. My question was honest and I still stand by my comment on CNN.
