Finally, Alex Jones is getting what he deserves.

The Hill has the story

Conspiracy theory outlet Infowars is one strike away from being banned from YouTube.

The channel said it received an alert from YouTube on Tuesday morning, saying Infowars received a second strike on a video about the Parkland, Fla., high school shooting and will temporarily be unable to upload new content.

“This is the second strike applied to your account within three months. As a result, you’re unable to post new content to YouTube for two weeks,” the alert said. “If there are no further issues, the ability to upload will be automatically restored after this two week period.”

Infowars’s second strike comes as social media giants like YouTube and Twitter grapple with how to handle extremist or conspiracy theory content.

I would like to officially go on the record as saying, that I believe this is a good thing. As someone who has conservative leanings, I find myself very embarrassed by the fact that Alex Jones is even regarded as a legitimate media outlet. Because some of the stuff that Alex Jones promotes on his site, borderlines on manacle hysteria and outright stupidity.

Not to mention, some of the things that he has said on his site are a direct insult to victims of mass shootings. I personally believe if Alex Jones wants to promote those wackadoodle conspiracy theories, then he should do it on his own server, where he can upload videos to his heart’s content. Instead of on a site such as YouTube where all Americans can access it. Now I’m sure Alex Jones is going to scream repression of freedom of speech. Sorry Alex, but that’s a bunch of BS. YouTube is not a government ran site; YouTube is a private business or entity and reserves the rights to prohibit someone of your caliber from using their service. Not to mention the fact that they accept advertising dollars and I’m sure some advertisers do not want to share the same platform as you.

Now if one of Alex Jones is mindless followers happens to stumble over this article and starts to comment that I’m some sort of government controlled person or that I’m some sort of die-hard liberal; nothing could be further from the truth. I voted for Trump and I too would like to see America great again. However, I do not like Alex Jones. I never have. I’ve always thought him to be a crank and opportunist and a charlatan. So, before you waste your breath or your bandwidth on calling me stuff that I’m not. Save it, because you would be dead wrong.
