Facebook Removes Alex Jones And InfoWars Pages
Apple, Spotify and YouTube also have taken action against the conspiracy theorist’s content.

Facebook booted four Alex Jones and InfoWars pages from its platform, the company said Monday.
The Alex Jones Channel Page, the Alex Jones Page, the InfoWars Page and the Infowars Nightly News Page were removed for violating Facebook’s policies on graphic violence and hate speech, the company said.
Last week, Facebook removed four videos from Jones-affiliated pages and placed Jones, an administrator of the pages, on a 30-day block. However, the other administrators continued posting content on the pages.
Facebook said it removed the pages after receiving an unspecified number of additional reports of community standards violations. The social media giant also clarified that the removals were not related to “fake news” complaints.

They need to crack down on Nazi hate speech hard. They knocked off Alex Jones, but they also have Gavin McInnes and Laura Southern - both of which need to be taken down ASAP.
