Alex Jones has been booted off social media – our favourite 19 responses
Videos and podcasts by Alex Jones and InfoWars were removed from several online platforms on Monday. Facebook, YouTube, Apple’s iTunes and Spotify all described the removal as being in response to repeated violations of their terms of service relating to content.
Some people got all hot under the collar about freedom of speech, forgetting that InfoWars is still free to use the internet, has its own website and can peddle its intelligence pills as much as it wants on there.
These 19 reactions are as unsympathetic as you’d expect.

Banning Alex Jones from Facebook, YouTube, Apple, Spotify and Twitter is one thing, but according to the Radio Times he’s still presenting The One Show tonight.

Don't worry, Alex Jones fans. There are lots of clips on You Tube of the Third Reich and babies filling their diapers, so it'll almost be like he never left.

Alex Jones is being erased by the vampire space cadets he preached about. Goodbye Alex, may you find peace in the shadow realm

First they came for Alex Jones and I did nothing, because I’d been waiting ages for them to come for Alex Jones. #InfoWars
