Twitter Permanently Suspends Alex Jones & Infowars from Platform
----------------------------------------------------------------

Twitter said Thursday it has permanently suspended far-right conspiracy
theorist Alex Jones and his Infowars program from the platform. The
decision came after Twitter came under fire for not following other
sites run by Apple, Google, Facebook, You Tube and Spotify-all of which
banned Jones last month for "glorifying violence" and "using
dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims
and immigrants."
