Some context : Jones has recently been on thin ice rink with YouTube , and this week he was reportedlyone hit awayfrom a total forbidding after using the channel to disperse “ crisis thespian ” theories about the survivors of a school massacre in Parkland , Florida . Infowars ’ DC bureau foreman and residentBarack - Obama - is - gay expert , Jerome Corsi , found his own account purgedjust a few days ago — though YouTube later restored the channel and did not reply to repeated request for comment as to why from Gizmodo , and it ’s walked back bans ofat least some right - backstage contentlately .
Lots of people have essentially been wait for the hammer to overleap on Jones ’ presumably profitable main YouTube channel , which he conveniently habituate to advertize his line ofpricey and dubious wellness accessory , but it just has n’t chance yet despite amassive hegira in advertiser . Infowars also reportedly has 11 YouTube channels in aggregate . On Saturday , Jones tweet the purge was finally add up and send witness to a new channel , “ Infowars Censored . ”
“ The Alex Jones duct with one thousand million of views is frozen , ” he wrote . “ We have been told it will be edit tomorrow and all 33 thousands videos will be erased . ”
According to YouTube , this just is n’t what is occur , that ’s not how the appendage works ( there ’s a three work stoppage policy and appeal cognitive process ) , and they did n’t say him that . Instead , there are no plans to summarily delete Jones ’ account on Sunday at nowadays , but the company did recently inform him about the advertisers fly his channel .
YouTube’srules pagealso notes banned users “ are prohibited from get at , possessing , or make ” further accounts , so if someone as high - visibility as Jones was truly go to be kicked off the web site , just creating a new distribution channel is not going to work . ( Just look at Twitterwhite supremacistTim “ Baked Alaska ” Gionet , who tried to evade a ban on the social meshing by return with thenot - so - clever handle @notbakedalaskaand was promptly banned again . ) One might also note that Jones is in the middle of Operation Paul Revere 2018 , a pledge drive claiming Infowars needs donation to fight back against censorship .
It ’s possible that Jones received a third strike of some variety as he claimed , and there seems to be a mickle of impulse of late towards shutting down one of his most prominent platforms — but Jones ’ relationship to the truth is well depict as estranged . There ’s no reason to think his narrative on whatever is pass off now or whatever happens next .
Update , 6:12pm ET : Jones ’ channel is still alert and well on YouTube , with two videos uploaded today alone . The first is titled , “ IS THIS THE LAST TV OF ALEX JONES ON YOUTUBE ? ” , while the 2nd call CNN ’s reportage of adman fleeing his channel fake news program . Hmm .
Update , 7:30pm ET : Still there !
