Facebook Finally Removes Another 22 Alex Jones Accounts.

Facebook on Tuesday took down another 22 pages associated with Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist and Infowars founder.

The removals come after outlets including Mother Jones, along with the Daily Beast, The Next Web and Daily Dot, reported on how Jones and his content remained on the site, despite an August ban targeting his accounts. Mother Jones previously detailed how Facebook left accounts that routinely posted livestreams of Alex Jones’s daily Infowars show to thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of followers, allowing Jones to effectively remain on the platform, despite its high profile move to ban him in August.
