CNN's Oliver Darcy is one of the main reporters putting pressure on these social media companies to ban Alex Jones and Info Wars.

Just recently, these companies announced that Alex Jones had violated various community standards and would be taken down.

And in an interview, Oliver Darcy said that it took weeks of pressure from the media to get them to finally take action.

But the pressure Oliver Darcy was putting on his media companies wasn't about violations of community standards.

It was about fake news, in one article saying that a Facebook wants to seriously combat fake news, they have to deal with Info Wars.

So if he is going to claim that his pressure and media pressure is what got these companies to take action,

it would imply that these companies were taking action against fake news.

On the surface, based on statements from these companies, it was about community guidelines.

So naturally, many people are going to assume that the real reason Alex Jones was taken down is because he produces controversial content that they deemed to be fake news.

So today, I want to take a look at exactly what Oliver Darcy was reporting, what kind of pressure he put on these companies to ban Info Wars.

And I want to tell you just how dangerous it is to claim that fake news should be banned,

because almost every company produces something that could be considered fake news.
