YouTube has deleted four videos posted by InfoWars founder Alex Jones, the controversial online personality famous for peddling conspiracy theories, and issued a "strike" against him.

The strike means Jones cannot livestream content for three months. Should he receive a second strike within that timeframe, YouTube will bar him from uploading new content for two weeks. YouTube deletes accounts after a third strike within that time period.

The videos uploaded to The Alex Jones Channel contained hate speech directed toward Muslims, among other groups; one featured the headline, "How to prevent liberalism" and showed an adult shoving a child to the ground. In a blog post, InfoWars said YouTube claimed all four videos had violated its "policy on violent or graphic content."

1. Only one strike?

2. His response will elicit two more strikes

And the cretin will be silenced until he finds another platform.

6. Jones is getting crazier by the day.

I miss the days when he was worried about Y2K and super computers in space. Conspiracy theorists are getting more radical and political now. I used to read conspiracy theory forums for fun back in the day when they were mostly about UFOs and Bigfoot and stuff like that. Now it is all hardcore right-wing nonsense. There were always right-wing kooks but now they totally swamp everything else. It is not fun anymore.
