LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - YouTube has removed four videos by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, his website Infowars said on Wednesday, after the radio host used his YouTube channel to denounce Muslim immigrants to Europe and the creators of a transgender cartoon.

“YouTube has removed four Infowars videos that were critical of liberalism,” Jones said in a statement on social media, in which he also urged people to look at the videos on his website and decide for themselves.

A spokesperson for Google’s YouTube, who asked not to be named citing security concerns, declined to comment directly about the Jones videos, but said in a statement, “We have longstanding policies against child endangerment and hate speech.”

“We apply our policies consistently according to the content in the videos, regardless of the speaker or the channel.”

The videos, which included a clip of a man pushing a child to the ground, were posted on Jones’ Infowars website.

Infowars posted a statement on its website in which it said YouTube had slapped the Jones channel with a “community strike,” meaning he cannot broadcast live on YouTube for 90 days.

Under YouTube policy, the Alex Jones Channel, which has more than 2.4 million subscribers, could be permanently terminated if he received another two community strikes within three months.

In one of the videos that Jones said had been removed from YouTube, he spoke against an online series called “Drag Tots” with animated drag queen characters. Jones compared the creators of the series to Satanists, criticized them for appealing to children, and warned of divine judgment.

In two other videos he said were removed by YouTube, Jones suggested Muslims who immigrated to Europe were gaining control of countries on that continent.

Since founding Infowars in 1999, Jones has built a vast audience. In extreme theories, he has suggested that the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington were staged by the government.

The parents of two children who died in the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre in Connecticut sued Jones for defamation in April, accusing him and Infowars of engaging in a campaign of “false, cruel, and dangerous assertions.”

So in other words, YouBoob is censoring TRUTH; That the public should NOT be aware of deviants pedophiles AND a violent Jihadist caliphate hijacking The West.

Nice.

You liberal-Left fascists support and promote Evil, plain and simple.

Chyeah -- "extremist"?? Because we ALL know the Deep State hierarchy are conservative patriots...and wouldn't do anything to hurt America, would they?

We have discovered that if YouBoob and the Left oppose something, you can bet the OPPOSITE is the right and truthful thing.

Now you should know by now that isn't true, just because they vote for those idiots doesn't mean that they support all of what those idiots do (to hear them tell it of course).

Keep those adblockers enabled and updated - the good ones work fine on YouTube. Roku access means almost zero ads; skip the ones that slip through.

Help strangle the cashflow, like FaceFvck. Crush the Idiot Left.

Disinformation con-artists always salt their bullshyte with little nuggets of truth.

Fat slob Alice Jones, the alt-right caricature, has applied that bidness model well.
