Who watches the watchmen?

You do, none of this was done in secret. If you fundamentally disagree with then decision the nobody is forcing you to visit infowars.com through itunes.

Your whole "easy" solution is not a solution. You just avoid the condition and expect it's solved.

It was solved, Alex Jones broke the rules and reaped the consequences. If you posted the same sort of content you would have been banned a lot sooner, and rightly so, being popular shouldn’t give you the right to be evil.

I mean, by all rights, Trump should have been banned from twitter as well, but I guess you can become popular enough that rules don’t apply.

But that is frankly wrong.
