Twitter permanently bans conspiracy theorist Alex Jones
Twitter is to permanently ban notorious conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his Infowars show due to abusive behaviour. The presenter, who has become infamous for his claims the Sandy Hook massacre did not happen, will not be able to create new accounts on the social media platform or take over existing ones.Twitter said Jones posted a video on Wednesday in contravention of the company's policy against "abusive behaviour". Today, we permanently suspended @realalexjones and @infowars from Twitter and Periscope. 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. https://t.co/gckzUAV8GL— Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) 6 Sep...
