Wow!
About a month after virtually every other tech service in Silicon Valley did it, Twitter just joined the party and banned Alex Jones and Infowars from both its own platform, as well as its subsidiary, Periscope.

The company announced the move in a series of tweets on Thursday afternoon (below):

Though it’s unclear based on those tweets what exactly sent Jones and Infowars over the edge this time, reports suggest that it was Jones’ behavior towards Senator Marco Rubio that got him in hot water. (After confronting Rubio in D.C. yesterday, Jones took to Periscope to brag about how he trolls journalists and share abusive language about them.)
Previously, Jones had been banned by other social networks and outlets, including Facebook and YouTube, for his problematic speech and divisive, controversial content.
Now, it looks like Twitter has joined the fray.
