Taking away free speech?

Mainstream media has been entertainment and they’re mad at other voices who are saying the truth. Orwellian times indeed. George Orwell or hollyweird couldn’t write this fascist script

we are all doomed

Conspiracy Theorists like whatshisname use denial of their beliefs as evidence they are true. Any 'censorship' is a part of the conspiracy. Just because something could be true doesn't mean it is either. Gullibility can be the same as scepticism towards all mainstream ideas.

What happened to freedom of speech?

anohter fakeout drop in spy just buy the dip, WE HAVE THE FED SUPPORTING IT

we are in hte buy zone for calls for spy right here where fed is supporting it

nice freedom of speech and freedom of press, it only shows that there is truth about what Brian and David talked for the past few weeks

All you've done is gained AppleMusic a new customer & davidicke a new follower 🤣

Remember when the national Enquirer was pulled off the shelves at every supermarket in the country? Yeah, me neither. It's past time for big tech to be regulated because they obviously are not capable of doing it themselves.

Apple - Do not follow Spotify and Google on removing this podcast? If you google his name, the first thing you see is “conspiracy theorist”...He is an author and people want to hear his thought! Whether right or wrong - Do you want to start burning books again too?

Censorship

This will begin a movement where these types of podcasts will host their own content from their own domain. Example Alex Jones InforWars. YouTube is also banning cryptocurrency channels/videos.

The more they censor , the guiltier they look

Gross - the lefty fascism continues.... I don't support fascists, I'm gonna cancel my SpotifyUK right now & join AppleMusic

Sounds facist

Why take it down and not trying to prove them wrong? When you take it down you basically admitting to them being right! Freedom of speech is being censored right in front of our eyes!

Spotify

Luckily I watched it already

I love how every non-mainstream view is now being classified as conspiracy theory. Gone are the tinfoil hat wearing, little green men flat earthers. Now everyone with a complex, nuanced, what-if alternative that remotely differs from generally held views is a conspiracy theorist.

So much for freedom of speech.

Because only the official explanations and establishment narrative are allowed to be told.

Looks about right by the title of podcast.

How is this ok? Why can’t people be free to listen to words and decide if they are correct or not? The church once censored Galileo...

YES!!!!!!!!!!! VACCINE EXPECTED IN TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
