Facebook Inc. and YouTube pulled Alex Jones from their services on Monday after concluding the conspiracy theorist's posts violated their policies. The moves follow similar action by Apple Inc. and Spotify Technology SA.
Facebook said it removed four pages belonging to Jones for repeatedly posting content in recent days that breaks community standards on hate speech, bullying and glorifying violence.
"All users agree to comply with our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines when they sign up to use YouTube," a spokesperson for Google's video site wrote in an email. "When users violate these policies repeatedly, like our policies against hate speech and harassment or our terms prohibiting circumvention of our enforcement measures, we terminate their accounts."
