Okay, @TeamYouTube. You’ve given Alex Jones two strikes for less than this. He’s playing you. How will you deal with this now? https://t.co/a41fcQKeeB

This is the very distillation of racism and it’s being broadcast to millions and paid for by American corporations. https://t.co/geFikCAYvA

This is so tragic. But what is even more tragic is that within hours, redditors will say this girl is the shooter, InfoWars will say she’s a crisis actor, Breitbart will say she’s got a political agenda and Fox will say she’s just a girl so we shouldn’t be listening to her. https://t.co/B7EWPtjQjS

The Alex Jones-is-crazy trope needs to stop. The man knows exactly what he’s doing: Ginning up his audience to attack shooting victims’ families and shooting survivors. It’s not entertainment. It’s not “performance art”. It’s dangerous. And @TeamYouTube is letting him do it. https://t.co/D4GDB3q9Ev

One day later, despite clear breaches of four Terms Of Service, @TeamYouTube has not given Alex Jones a third strike. @TeamYouTube is afraid of Alex Jones. They don’t want to enforce their own rules, which means it is an unsafe environment for their advertisers moving forward. https://t.co/e1SSVKqdID

@chrislhayes @karaswisher @tim_cook Why, after he was so moved by the Parkland students, @AppleTV continues to stream NRA TV, which continues to smear these students and slag the media? And why this does not violate their Terms Of Service? No other lobby gets a 24-hour infomercial to regularly smear citizens.

Note to platforms like @amazon @AppleTV @RokuPlayer and @GooglePlay: At some point you have to decide what is not just good for your business, but what is good for the country. Attacks on the press and students should not be amplified. That’s what you’re doing with NRA TV. https://t.co/aGGGkeNSHp

.@TeamYouTube won’t even issue Alex Jones a “third strike” despite continually breaking their very clear Terms Of Service with every video, so how are advertisers supposed to trust that they 1) won’t show up there and 2) end up monetizing them with their ad dollars? https://t.co/Wfcndgrnzt

That “third strike” is never coming from @TeamYouTube and Alex Jones knows it. Prepare for even more vile, violent conspiratorial videos from InfoWars. He knows he can get away with any violation of @YouTube’s Terms and not suffer any consequences. They will never do a thing. https://t.co/8eE8oJOKSJ
Tulipdog (@Tulipdog)
This is Alex Jones’ ex-wife. She successfully got @TeamYouTube to take down a defamatory video about her because it broke the @YouTube Terms Of Service. Why, when they’ve already issued two strikes to Jones, does this not constitute a third strike? Makes zero sense! https://t.co/EXLPAviw0i

It sucks that Ben Shapiro’s family was confronted by white supremacist Nick Fuentes today, but it’s preeeeety hypocritical that the people freaking out about it are the same ones who have engaged in the same racist bullshit that Fuentes has for years.
Jaded_octopus (@Jaded_octopus)
Still unreal that @TeamYouTube, despite issuing 2 strikes to Alex Jones for harassing mass shooting survivors in videos, is trying to run out the clock on issuing a 3rd strike in 3 months to avoid having to ban him. The new vids are just like the old ones! https://t.co/SYV2PF72aA

This has all of the makings of the next Pizzagate and @TeamYouTube is again allowing Alex Jones to aim his audience squarely at a target using their platform. Not only does his rhetoric break their Terms Of Service, it is incredibly dangerous OFF of the platform. Do something! https://t.co/sFwb3mTale

“The show, which regularly boasted upward of 40 corporate advertisements...recently hit a low of 21 ads on his Wednesday night show” Advertisers are hopefully starting to realize that supporting bigotry isn’t just bad for business, but bad for the country https://t.co/2vOzlvgBTy

Hey @TeamYouTube. This is what happens when you issue Alex Jones two strikes, but won’t enforce your own clear Terms of Service and issue a third. You are literally broadcasting dangerous conspiracy theories to millions. https://t.co/kOjjf4xAi5
Goyakhlajames (@Goyakhlajames)
This is pathetic, @TeamYouTube. Not only have you not issued a “third strike” to Alex Jones, who continues to rub your faces in the fact that you won’t by continuing to break your Terms, but now you’re issuing strikes to other people for posting HIS videos? Lordy. https://t.co/nZswfi8lNS

The fact that Alex Jones’ latest video showing @Emma4Change under a speech from Hitler does not constitute a “third strike” from @TeamYouTube is a travesty. Here are the @YouTube Community Guidelines straight from their site: https://t.co/e1SSVKqdID
anandcpatel (@anandcpatel)
UPDATE: @TeamYouTube has not issued a “third strike” to Alex Jones, who continued to break the @YouTube Terms today with this violent, threatening video. He now understands that he can get away with anything on their platform because they will let him, consequence-free.
AhWhatsInAName (@AhWhatsInAName)
Since giving Jones “two strikes” for videos that break their Terms Of Service, @TeamYouTube steadfastly refuses to issue a third strike on recent videos that clearly break them. People are getting harassed and harmed in the real world for their inaction.

If a 44-year-old man walked into a high school calling the students Nazi youth, he’d likely be removed and possibly arrested. @TeamYouTube is handing that man a megaphone. https://t.co/8XskH6U6wl

The jokes about Alex Jones being a nutcase need to stop. It gives him cover for what is an incredibly dangerous game he is playing. He not only aim his viewers at the families of shooting survivors, his completely fabricated conspiracies are now affecting our politics. https://t.co/o73MKQ0tZP
a_mcbartles (@a_mcbartles)
Unreal. @TeamYouTube has repeatedly allowed Alex Jones to continue to break their Terms almost every single week, only giving him “two strikes” and never the third and now he’s dragging them after a horrific shooting at their headquarters. What will it take? https://t.co/oUvDBZNTAX
lysserbabes (@lysserbabes)
Alex Jones is social media’s kryptonite. Between this and @TeamYouTube refusing to issue a third strike to him despite multiple violations of their Terms Of Service, they just can’t quit him. He will continue to push it farther because he’ll never suffer any consequences. https://t.co/utXA6XDxoz
ElissaBass (@ElissaBass)
@slpng_giants @TeamYouTube Alex Jones is a businessman who sells fear and anger. Look at how his audience responded to Infowars' article calling David Hogg "Hitler youth". Is this the audience that @TeamYouTube wants to attract? https://t.co/8Pa3sAYXsJ
jafaircl (@jafaircl)
So @TeamYouTube, not only are you not issuing a third strike to Alex Jones after his Hitler/@Emma4Change mashup yesterday, but you’re still monetizing his channel??? You’re making money off of this??? https://t.co/6pTmvR8Ad4
