Twitter permanently bans US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones

Twitter said it has eternally banned US conspiracy theorist Alexander Jones and accounts linked with his website Infowars for “abusive behavior”.

“Today, we eternally suspended @realalexjones and @infowars from Twitter and Periscope,” Twitter said on Thursday on its protection account, Xinhua news agency reported.

The world top social media site said it took the 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 ban will cut Jones and Info wars from its 1.5 million followers on future interaction on Twitter’s platform, and Twitter vows to “take action” if the latter attempts to circumvent the prohibitive measure.

“We will keep on to evaluate reports we receive regarding further accounts potentially linked with @realalexjones or @infowars and will take action if content that violates our rules is reported or if other accounts are utilized in an attempt to circumvent their ban,” @TwitterSafety said in one of its tweets.

The social media firm said it will boost transparency in execution of its rules and actions, but it declines to “comment on enforcement actions we take against personage accounts, for their privacy.”

Twitter is one of the most recent major tech companies such as Google, Facebook and Apple that has eternally banned Jones and his associated accounts. It imposed a week-long ban on Jones as a warning for his bellicose actions last month.

In August, Google-owned YouTube, Apple and Facebook removed or restricted Jones’ actions on their platforms for hate speech.

Jones is a controversial American radio show host and conspiracy theorist, who runs the website Infowars.com that is devoted to conspiracy theories and false news.

He is notorious for reproachful the US government of planning the Oklahoma City bombing that killed at least 168 people and injured more than 680 others in 1995.

Jones also doubted the government’s role in the September 11, 2001 terror attacks in the US that left 2,996 people dead and over 6,000 wounded
