Yaron and Amy: “Alex Jones, Arbitrary-info Wars, and ‘Community Standards’,” TODAY at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT)

Facebook and YouTube have banned Alex Jones. Should they have? Is Twitter next? Are social media Rules/Community Standards creating a slippery slope toward a Culture of Censorship? These questions and more are what I plan to discuss with Yaron today. See Program Notes, below for stories, etc., I plan to discuss with Yaron.

The show will be broadcast live via streaming video on Yaron’s YouTube Channel as well as on his show’s Facebook page here.

News Sandwich: YouTube “Censorship”

I did another show in News Sandwich format today. This time, the topic was YouTube “Censorship.” It was inspired–made necessary–because of the scumbag shooter who decided to shoot three people at YouTube because she was “censored,” and reports that the police were told she was angry and heading to the YouTube campus. (Those reports were later disputed, as I mention in the show.)

Check it out here or, if you prefer the audio podcast, I’ll be uploading that to BlogTalk tomorrow. (UPDATE: Here’s the link for the BlogTalk audio podcast.)
