Having a hard time wrapping my mind around the Alex Jones censorship "controversy."

Doing a vanilla websearch = Alex Jones

It really is not as if clicking that linked search demonstrates total censorship of the mind and mouth of Mr. Jones. He has a perspective. It is online:

While admitting to not investing much study upon site content, one item seized the day. It begins:

Big Tech: We Won’t Display Alex Jones Content, but We Will Work with Chinese Government -- Google claims to believe in freedom of speech, but they are now engaging in domestic censorship, and helping to design a censored search engine in China -- By David Unsworth | panampost.com - September 18, 2018

Google has a major hypocrisy problem. Apparently, as the new moral guardians of what we are allowed to see and hear, it is their duty to ban the content of Alex Jones and his Infowars site. YouTube, which is owned by Google and is a major platform for viewing all types of media content, has removed Jones and content from all of his affiliated channels.

However, recent reports suggest that Google has no qualms about working with the Chinese Communist government, which is by a lightyear, the greatest abuser of human rights in the world today. Specifically, Google is helping to design a search engine that will meet the ideologically restrictive demands of the totalitarian regime in Beijing.

Just as the Beijing regime, and its dictator-for-life “president” Xi Jinping, seek to infiltrate the academic world under the auspices of the Confucius Institute, now they seek to infiltrate the tech world by partnering with the world’s leading technology company so that they force-feed Communist lies down the throats of their 1.3 billion citizens.

We can only imagine what such a search engine might look like: Looking for information about Tibet, the Dalai Lama, and its Buddhist population?

Tibet has always been part of China, the Dalai Lama is a fraud and a counter-revolutionary, and Buddhists are not good Communists.

Screen capture images do not carry over live links, so trust me or verify, clicking that Google Store App thingy goes here.

Poor Alex being censored so abruptly. The heavy boot upon his throat. Storm troopers at his door. About to be imprisoned or disappeared.
