Surprisingly, the idiot known for spinning absurd conspiracy theories might have spun an absurd conspiracy theory about YouTube deleting his video account.
It all began when moron Alex Jones posted a video accusing the survivors from the Florida shooting of being “crisis actors” – a common and idiotic conspiracy theory.
CNN then started calling advertisers on their YouTube video, and asking them politely if they want to support such vicious tripe. Many didn’t.
Then Jones said this:
The Alex Jones channel with billions of views is frozen. We have been told it will be deleted tomorrow and all 33 thousands videos will be erased. We just set up this new page subscribe if you want to see what the SPLC wants censored.. https://t.co/0sGkMNUCPt

BUT YouTube says they didn’t tell him that:
But according to a spokesperson from YouTube responding to our request for comment, the site at present has no plans to delete Alex Jones channel or erase his videos on Sunday, March 4.
So it was just another BS scam from a BS scam artist.
YouTube’s procedure for terminating an account involves a number of steps before an account gets completely taken down, starting with three “strikes” for terms of service violations and following an appeals process by the account holder.
While Alex Jones’s account is still alive and kicking, it is not in completely good standing.
It had one strike against it a couple of weeks ago, when YouTube removed a video from the channel that accused a student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas, who had appeared in the media speaking about gun control, of being a ‘crisis actor’ in the wake of the shooting at the school — he isn’t. This counted as a first strike in YouTube’s termination procedure.
And to be fair to Jones, I only believe YouTube slightly more than I believe the conspiracy monger.
