Alex Jones, InfoWars banned from Twitter permanently

Twitter permanently banned far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones after posts and videos including a 10-minute rant against CNN journalist Oliver Darcy outside of a Senate hearing that violated the company’s abusive behavior policy.

Twitter, which had been the last major social media network to give Jones a platform, said it permanently suspended the accounts of both the provocateur and his website, InfoWars, and would “evaluate” other accounts linked to them if they were used to evade the ban.
