Despite being “permanently suspended” by Twitter on Thursday, Alex Jones was back live streaming on the company’s Periscope platform only minutes after the company’s announced ban due to “abusive behavior.”
“I was taken down not because we lie but because we tell the truth,” Jones said while streaming on “War Room,” an InfoWars show. The “War Room” Twitter account has about 26,000 followers.
Twitter is “trying to destroy our basic birthright” of free speech, Jones added. “This is why we were banned: they’re scared of us.”
Twitter on Thursday joined several tech giants, including YouTube and Facebook, in banning Jones.
