Twitter just became the latest social platform to ban Alex Jones and Watch Different Rooms Between Two Women OnlineInfoWars.
The social media company has "permanently suspended" Jones and InfoWars from Twitter and Periscope, the company announced Thursday.

Periscope video showed the InfoWars host confronting CNN reporter Oliver Darcy after the hearing, which reportedly prompted the company's decision to ban the accounts.
"We took this action based on new reports of Tweets and videos posted yesterday that violate our abusive behavior policy, in addition to the accounts’ past violations," Twitter wrote in a statement. The company says that it will "continue to evaluate" other accounts "potentially associated" with Jones and InfoWars.

Video footage also showed Jones confronting Marco Rubio in the halls of Capitol Hill during the course of the hearing.
The loss of Twitter is a significant blow for Jones who has systematically had his accounts removed from some of the largest tech platforms. Last month, Facebook and YouTube pulled the accounts of Jones and InfoWars, and Apple and Spotify removed InfoWars' podcasts from their platforms.
But Twitter has, until now, resisted an outright ban on Jones and InfoWars, despite weeks of criticism over the issue. The company previously punished Jones with a temporary suspension, and the InfoWars founder has previously removed tweets that violated the company's policies. Twitter, which has historically been a staunch defender of free speech, has defended its previous decisions not to ban Jones.
The company previously claimed Jones had not broken its rules and Dorsey appeared to criticize the actions taken by his counterparts at other tech companies. "We’re going to hold Jones to the same standard we hold to every account, not taking one-off actions to make us feel good in the short term, and adding fuel to new conspiracy theories," he wrote at the beginning of August.
Though Twitter's final decision to ban Jones was met with cheers from some onlookers, others remained critical of the timing -- noting that the company only made the decision to do so one day after Dorsey personally witnessed Jones' behavior.
