- Facebook has removed four videos on pages belonging to InfoWars and its founder, Alex Jones, for violating the company's community standards, according to CNN.
- The spokesperson said that the community standards "make it clear" that content that "encourages physical harm [bullying], or attacks someone based on their religious affiliation or gender identity [hate speech]" is prohibited on the social media site.
- Three of the videos were brought to Facebook's attention on Wednesday, according to the spokesperson, and the fourth video was reported a month ago but was not immediately taken down due to a mistake during initial review.
- Facebook's decision comes one day after YouTube removed four videos linked to Jones — in the videos, Jones denounced Muslim immigrants to Europe and the creators of a transgender cartoon.
