Twitter Bans Alex Jones

A study has claimed that deplatforming controversial influencers can reduce the toxicity among their followers and subsequently the social media platform.

Last month, Twitter permanently banned Jones and Infowars from its platform, saying in a tweet that the accounts had violated its behaviour policies.

Twitter said Jones won't be able to create new accounts or take over any existing ones.

Twitter on Thursday announced it had banned far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones from its platform as well as the account of Infowars, the website he operates.

Twitter's Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde, however, disputed the Wall Street Journal Report report.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is mulling deeper changes that might limit the spread of fake news, misinformation, and hate speech.

Twitter said it was putting curbs on the account of far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones after he called on supporters to take up "battle rifles" to fight Internet censorship.

After facing protests on its platform, Twitter has temporarily banned the account of US conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said, "We know that's hard for many but the reason is simple: he hasn't violated our rules. We'll enforce if he does."
