Should Certain News Outlets Etc, Be Banned From Answerbank.

[anotheoldgit]

Because of some's fear of the rushing tide of Fascism, should 'Hitler's favourite newspaper' now be banned from Answerbank along with certain subject matter, if it comes to that?

Everyone has a line on what should, and should not, be censored. I think the Daily Mail falls, generally, on the side that shouldn't be.

No,definitely not.

links to Der Sturmer should be discouraged.

AB should not ban links to any newspaper, media outlet or protest group which is not banned in the real world.

It is up to the reader to decide whether to beleive the link used as a source to a question. I have read enough Daily Mail stories to know their reporting is often flawed. So if I see one, I will instantly be suspicious and look for the flaw.

Their are some alt right sites, usually American, that I tend to ignore because their writing is so distorted. Breitbart and Gatestone Institute I do not bother to even follow the links. I self censor.

Recently Alex Jones’ InfoWars was thrown off YouTube, Google, Facebook and iTunes. The argument these firms gave was that Jones broke their terms of use. But it is not censorship because anyone can go directly to Jones’ InfoWar website directly.
