He was a nobody only 2 years ago and now he's got the martyr validation he's been looking for the same week he gets "proof" of his deep state conspiracy.

Infowars has been a multi-million dollar company for a lot longer than 2 years

Recent events do bolster his position with the people who already visit Infowars in the short-term but I'm skeptical that its a positive for his brand in the long term since their social media presence undoubtedly drove traffic to their website(and more importantly, their store).

it's a very short term bump. people said the same thing about Milo and Richard Spencer as they were culled and quieted in various places, but in the end both of them are now decently more obscure than they initially were.

Posting the tweets/videos would likely get you modded, since both GameFAQs and Twitter have similar rules in that regard.

I think they may have them archived on kotaku in action reddit.

At one of two hearings on Wednesday, Mr. Dorsey denied that Twitter had a bias against conservatives, an accusation that Republican lawmakers raised repeatedly during the sessions.

Twitter is pretty biased against Republicans though

Thats a good thing

Apparently he got banned for harrassing the CEO?

Typical, spends years harrassing others but nothing happens until it's someone connected to Twitter.

Today, we permanently suspended @realalexjones and @infowars from Twitter and Periscope. We took this action based on new reports of Tweets and videos posted yesterday that violate our abusive behavior policy, in addition to the accounts previous violations, the company posted on its Safety account.

The crucial part here.

If you can't follow the terms of service guidelines, you can't guarantee that you'll have an account on their platform.


He was rude to Marco Rubio. If being rude to a public official is the standard then CNN and most of its employees would be banned.
