Following Infowars founder Alex Jones’ removal from a slew of social media sites in recent weeks, including such major platforms as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, streaming service Crackle announced yesterday they were open to Jones slandering, attacking, threatening, or plotting to kill any group or individual he sees fit.
“At Sony, we’re dedicated to diverse opinions because we believe they create honest and lively debate,” president and CEO Kenichiro Yoshido said in a statement. “And we want Mr. Jones to know he is welcome anytime, today even – we’ve got the afternoon totally free – to discuss an ongoing partnership at the top-tier level so he can continue spreading his unique view of the world.”
Crackle representatives additionally stated that they are willing to take a completely hands-off approach to any content Jones’ Infowars team wishes to convey on the platform, allowing “gravesite coordinates, school addresses for congressmen’s children, animal sacrifices, experimental surgeries, and hardcore pornography” all to be displayed “with impunity.”
Though the announcement has garnered significant criticism, Crackle doesn’t appear to be backing down. Just this morning, Kathleen Waldren, programing head of Crackle, stripped naked, doused herself in snake blood, and adorned a tricorne hat before reporters in a display of solidarity with Jones’ cause.
“Freedom isn’t free!” Waldren shouted. “And Barack Obama is one of Chancellor Zydrex’s fleshprohpets!”
Reached for comment about the site’s offer, Alex Jones stated, “Crackle? I’m not going over there. Those guys are nuts!”
