Twitter Permanently Suspends Alex Jones & Infowars from Platform

HeadlineSep 07, 2018

Twitter said Thursday it has permanently suspended far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his Infowars program from the platform. The decision came after Twitter came under fire for not following other sites run by Apple, Google, Facebook, YouTube and Spotify—all of which banned Jones last month for “glorifying violence” and “using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants.”
