When announcing new rules of moderation, aimed at giving “more space for conservative votes,” YouTube may have spoken too early. Learning this modification of the policy with respect to the prohibited channels for false content in the COVVI-19, the health or the authorized elections to return, the conspirator Infowars, directed by Alex Jones, took the opportunity to recreate an account. But he was rapidly banished.
Infowars then strongly criticized this decision about X, speaking of a “new attack” against freedom of expression and complaining of “censorship.” But it really is nothing. YouTube simply responded that this banishment, as well as that of other simultaneous chains, was due to the fact that the new rules announced were not yet in force.

The platform explains that “quickly” will communicate the conditions of access to this program, refusing to say whether Infowars and Alex Jones will be part of this.
The chain was banished from YouTube in 2018, after multiple violations of the rules, especially in terms of hate speech, endangering minors, but also having questioned scientific facts about the Cavid-19 pandemic.
Influencer very well, he was also sentenced in 2022 to a fine of one billion dollars after having denied the murder of the Sandy Hook school and insulted the parents of the victims. At that time, a young man armed with a semi -automatic rifle killed 20 children and six adults.
If I had finally admitted to having counted lies, Alex Jones had later declared insolvent. But Infowars continues to operate, a site designed exclusively around false information and extremist speeches.
