Culture Alex Jones and InfoWars banned permanently from Twitter - The gay chemicals got to him

Twitter has permanently banned the accounts of right-wing conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones and InfoWars, the company said Thursday.

The accounts violated the company's abusive behavior policies, Twitter said in a series of tweets. The ban comes weeks after Jones was banned or suspended by other major tech companies like Apple, Facebook and YouTube. Twitter had initially declined to take disciplinary action against Jones, saying the accounts had not violated community guidelines, but later suspended him for a period of seven days.

"We took this action based on new reports of Tweets and videos posted yesterday that violate our abusive behavior policy, in addition to the accounts' past violations," the company said. "We wanted to be open about this action given the broad interest in this case."

Accounts for Jones and Infowars were also banned from Twitter-owned Periscope. Jones will not be able to recreate his presence on the sites under another account.

Jones appeared at congressional hearings Wednesday where Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey addressed online election meddling, as well as accusations of political bias and conservative censorship on the platform. At the hearings, Jones ranted at a CNN reporter and streamed the exchange on Periscope.

You know guys, censoring this guy is only gonna make him and his followers think he's right about everything. But hey, what do I know, I'm an evil transphobic alt-right neo-nazi.

Because twitter doesn't discriminate based on political bias, as stated by Jack himself, I'm sure that the literally thousands of far-left lunatics that openly support and organise harassment and violence on the platform will be banned next, followed by the anti-white racists.

It’s probably because he was harassing Marco Rubio in person yesterday. The guy looked like a mess

Not surprised at all by this, Jack himself said that twitter is left-leaning. It's funny that the far left on twitter still isn't happy because they were "too late".

We all knew this would be coming eventually at some point.

 

[1Tonka_Truck]

I knew it was too much to ask for twitter to wait until after all those deactivated accounts were purged.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Alex Jones is an idiot that says dumb things, but what is even more dumb is us surrendering the public square to unaccountable corporations who view it as their civic duty to suppress wrongthink.

I really wish I could have fired some questions at beta cuck Dorsey at those hearings. Fucking Senators are so fucking frustrating with their ineffective questions.

On the other hand, he was clearly breaking their rules, and you can't just let him off because he's famous.

Racism is also against Twitter's TOS and Sarah Joeng is verified.

I guess the best I could say here is that two wrongs doesn't make a right. There are a lot of people with far left viewpoints that need to eat very serious bans on social media, and if they keep it up, they should get permabans, but that doesn't change the fact that Alex Jones can't complain.

I'm sure this will only help twitter and could have no negative consequences.

If people actually want to fix this shit, the Koch brothers need to donate some money to @Null and let him basically make Gab.

 

[RJ MacReady]

By getting banned shortly after his interest in brave, stunning transgender pornography was revealed, Alex has cunningly exposed Twitter and Jack Dorsey as bigoted transphobes. We owe him for foiling another gay-frog globalist plot.

I always hear this same tired shit. "It's a private company they can do whatever they want!" "TERMS OF SERVICE!" like people have ever read or cared to abide by that shit once in their lives. How can you argue it's not a 1st amendment violation while at the same time both Facebook and Twitter appear before the Senate and have to explain why they haven't removed pages and accounts for Wikileaks because it's a "non-state hostile intelligence service"

Do you not realize how far the govt. hands are up the asses of these people?

 

[The Nameless One]

So what did he actually do that was banworthy? He heckled little Marco Rubio? I think Twitter was just itching for an excuse to ban him, although they picked the absolute stupidest time to do so.
