"Conservative media is ramping up its battle with Facebook after the platform banned Alex Jones’s Infowars website from its platform.
Conservative sites questioned whether Jones was being signaled out because of his politics, and whether Apple and other tech companies that have also dropped Jones were abusing their power.
The Drudge Report’s banner headline for most of Monday was “Apple regulates hate.” It also included a link high on its site to the conservative Gateway Pundit site that said: “Are Tech Giants Working Together to Censor Conservatives?”
Infowars editor-at-large Paul Joseph Watson criticized Facebook's decision as political censorship.”
“This is a co-ordinated move ahead of the mid-terms to help Democrats. This is political censorship. This is culture war,” Watson tweeted.
Prominent right-wing internet figure Laura Loomer also decried the bans.
“Infowars played a big role in helping @realDonaldTrump get elected. BIG TECH is currently trying to influence elections by banning Conservatives. I'm actually depressed,” she tweeted."
