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.”

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

Infowars posted a statement on its website in which it said YouTube had slapped the Jones channel with a “community strike,” meaning he cannot broadcast live on YouTube for 90 days.

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.

Alex Jones is a tube steak.  But this hamfistedness is one of the many reasons Facebook stock is in the tank and Suckerborg has lost 20 billion dollars (on paper) in 2 days.

Folks on the right boycotting these leftist twits.....

as well they should.

Much like the Hollyweirdo elites.... the social media leftists haven't quite figured out that every time they pull a stunt like this.... they tick off approximately half the country.   They're just not very bright.... not at all.... tsk tsk.

We have freedom of speech to a degree. People like Alex Jones though, may well hurt a lot of other people's right to free speech in pushing all of that rubbish he does. I think he is irresponsible and does these things for money, that's his right but I don't feel bad for him.

Now, when the Left wanted to boycott Glen Beck on Fox, tried to boycott his sponsors, that I definitely disagree with and when they do or try to do it to others, Hannity and Rush. A. Jones is a pariah to me.

Evocative lyrics!

Jones could also host the videos on his own site so no one can take them down.

They are a private business, they can host or remove any content they want. Maybe Jones can peddle his stuff on porn pages like some gun channels did.
