On Tuesday, “Infowars” host Alex Jones was given a limited, seven-day suspension by Twitter over content Twitter says violated its terms of service.
Multiple reports said the suspension was over a video, posted to Twitter-owned Periscope earlier Tuesday, in which Jones told viewers to get “battle rifles” in order to oppose Antifa. Media Matters captured a portion of the video, which Jones has since removed.
Twitter did not issue a statement publicly about the action, but CNN, The Washington Post and New York Times reported that Twitter representatives confirmed the suspension occurred.
Jones’ account was not removed from Twitter and as of this writing is still fully accessible to anyone he hasn’t blocked.
