Alex Jones took another major blow this week.
Following bans from Twitter and Periscope, Apple has permanently banned Jones' InfoWars app from its App Store.

Apple confirmed the InfoWars app's removal to Buzzfeed News after users noticed it was missing on Friday evening and no longer showed up in the App Store's search results.
The App Store removal shouldn't surprise anyone. In early August, Apple removed five InfoWars podcasts, including War Room and The Alex Jones Show, from iTunes and the Podcasts app.
An Apple spokesperson told Mashable at the time the company 'does not tolerate hate speech, and we have clear guidelines that creators and developers must follow to ensure we provide a safe environment for all of our users.'
We've reached out to Apple for comment on why it finally banned the InfoWars app, but didn't receive a response by publishing time. We'll update this story if we do.
As Buzzfeed News notes from Apple's App Store Review Guidelines, the first clause explicitly states 'Apps should not include content that is offensive, insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust, or in exceptionally poor taste':
![Can Can](/uploads/1/2/6/4/126420274/456572548.jpg)
1.1.1 Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to humiliate, intimidate, or place a targeted individual or group in harm’s way. Professional political satirists and humorists are generally exempt from this requirement.
Ultimately, most people can probably agree with Apple's latest decision. Many were left scratching their heads after Jones' podcasts were removed, but the app wasn't.
Apple's statement on not removing the InfoWars app in early August:
'We strongly support all points of view being represented on the App Store, as long as the apps are respectful to users with differing opinions, and follow our clear guidelines, ensuring the App Store is a safe marketplace for all. We continue to monitor apps for violations of our guidelines and if we find content that violates our guidelines and is harmful to users we will remove those apps from the store as we have done previously.'
The ball's now in Google's court. As of publishing time, the InfoWars app is still available for download in the Google Play Store for Android devices.
Will Google follow suit and take away another platform for Jones to distribute its conspiracy theories and fake news? It has a responsibility to do so.
Tech platforms, in sequence, banned Infowars and Alex Jones back in August 2018. First, there was Apple, then Spotify, then Facebook, then YouTube, then Pinterest, then LinkedIn, then MailChimp and finally Twitter. But Jones and his media network have still found some places where his content can live: Snapchat, Instagram, Google Play and still on Facebook and YouTube. The persistence of Infowars comes even as Roku decided to refresh Infowars page back in January but pulled the programming after user backlash.
Despite YouTube banning Jones in August, Media Matters reported today that Infowars operates its own YouTube channel titled “Resistance News,” which has been promoting conspiracy theories around the mass shootings in New Zealand. That account had more than 64,000 subscribers.
YouTube removed the channel a few hours later, citing a violation of the platform’s community guidelines.
“All users agree to comply with our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines when they sign up to use YouTube. 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,” a YouTube spokesperson emailed.
Google, Snapchat, and Instagram did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
On March 18, the Infowars Snapchat account posted several videos uploaded from a camera roll. One snap links to Infowars’ site to watch coverage of a shooting in the Netherlands. Another snap linked to the Google Play store to download the official Infowars app. Another snap linked to an article titled “The Truth About The New Zealand Mosque Attack,” claiming that the media has covered the deaths of Muslims more than of Christians.
Infowars isn’t new to Snapchat, but it’s been rather quiet on the platform. The account doesn’t appear to be promoted in Snapchat Discover, where users can access public accounts, but users can search for it and choose to subscribe. Back in August, Infowars promoted a “Censorship gag” filter on Snapchat in time with its ban across platforms. At the time, TechCrunch reported Snap was monitoring to see what the account did and if it violated any community guidelines.

Despite Facebook’s decision to ban Infowars in August, the company is still there through its other programs. Infowars’ site includes embeds of its own videos from Facebook. A Facebook page called “Red Pilled TV” (previously titled “Prison Planet.TV”) has more than 31,000 likes and features broadcasts of “The Alex Jones Show.” One video is titled “NZ Shooter Is A Leftist Communist Sympathizer.” Another video is titled “Vaccine Truthers Face An Inquisition.”
A Facebook spokesperson said that Facebook page does not violate the company’s community standards. It had unpublished more than 20 pages in August following its decision to ban Infowars and its related pages.
“We have not removed Alex Jones’ profile. When we enforce our recidivism policy against Pages, the admins can still maintain their profiles on Facebook but are no longer able to create and use a Page akin to one we’ve removed. We use a broad set of signals to determine if a Page violates our recidivism policy and determined these 22 Pages violated our policy for reasons including having similar titles to the Pages we unpublished and having the same admins. We continue to review reports and will remove content that violates our Community Standards and our recidivism policy specifically,” a Facebook spokesperson emailed.
Infowars has continued to post on Instagram via the account “real_alexjones.” Despite being owned by Facebook, Instagram chose not to ban Jones last year. A Facebook spokesperson told the Daily Dot in December that “the account does not violate Instagram’s Community Guidelines.” A recent video asks, “Did Big Tech Collude To Censor Alex Jones?” Other posts feature anti-vaccine content, support of Tucker Carlson and a conspiracy theory that YouTube is throttling the views on a hateful video against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Infowars Store also has an active Instagram account.

Infowars is less easy to find on YouTube and Twitter, though the content is still shared through supporters or impersonators. The Daily Beast reported in January that fan channels like “Infowars Army” were uploading “videos by the hundreds” on YouTube. Yet, searching “Infowars” on YouTube surfaces videos from media companies like NBC News, CNET, Fox News, Channel 4 News and Vice.
