The
Hill, 6
August 2018:
YouTube on Monday said
it had banned Alex Jones’s Infowars channel, following similar
actions taken against the controversial right-wing conspiracy theorist by other
major U.S. technology companies.
After the channel
violated YouTube's policies against child endangerment and hate speech,
Jones was banned for trying to circumvent the site's enforcement measures,
according to a source familiar with the company’s decision. The source
said Jones received a 90-day moratorium on livestreaming for violating its policies and that
he then tried to promote his flagship radio show on other YouTube pages,
prompting a permanent ban.
