LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - YouTube has removed four videos by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, his website Infowars said on Wednesday, after the radio host used his YouTube channel to denounce Muslim immigrants to Europe and the creators of a transgender cartoon.
“YouTube has removed four Infowars videos that were critical of liberalism,†Jones said in a statement on social media, in which he also urged people to look at the videos on his website and decide for themselves.
A spokesperson for Google’s YouTube, who asked not to be named citing security concerns, declined to comment directly about the Jones videos, but said in a statement, “We have longstanding policies against child endangerment and hate speech.â€

The videos, which included a clip of a man pushing a child to the ground, were posted on Jones’ Infowars website.

Under YouTube policy, the Alex Jones Channel, which has more than 2.4 million subscribers, could be permanently terminated if he received another two community strikes within three months.
