ALEX JONES: The Democratic Party, Soros-funded Media Matters -- funded by the Nazi collaborator George Soros -- came out in two articles calling for us to be completely kicked off Google and for Google to not to let us have any advertising on YouTube. We pointed out that AdRoll, connected to them, had us kicked off, and I believe from sources that that was part of a Google move, but now I'm told it's not. And thats why you hear, Oh, Google lets extremists go on and Islamicists and call for violence. And I told you they mean us. And now, sure enough, they say because we expose vaccines -- they say its a well-known hoax that vaccines ever hurt anybody. Now thats part of one of the things they say we should be banned for. Its hateful to tell you that vaccines have bad reactions.
The governments dont get IMF, World Bank money if they dont vaccinate the population, so they just come in, force it. And now all over Africa, you name it -- 100 years ago the Africans would run up to the doctors wanting to see the white witch doctors. Now they run because they know. But you can find this for yourself anywhere, but these type of folks they just call it hateful, disproven garbage.

BTW, here's the original article in question, which is well worth reading, IMO:
Googles promise to better ensure that ads appear only alongside content of legitimate creators in our YouTube Partner Program" indicates that Jones channel is a partner. An online post by the Houston Chronicle also explained that a YouTube partner can be identified by look[ing] for advertisements on the users pages."
Jones videos, which often violate YouTubes policies for its advertising partners, frequently appear with ads for brands such as Trivago, Playstation, and a corporation that is contracted by the state of Hawaii to promote tourism. These ads appear on a targeted, automated rotating system, so they may alternate or change.
On March 19, Jones claimed that his website Infowars got knocked off of Google ads through AdRoll, their subsidiary company they work with. AdRoll -- which is actually a Google competitor, though it does use some Google technology -- did in fact cut ties with Infowars, citing violations of its policies, which require that a websites content be accurate and verifiable and that it not have derogatory content about a political candidate. But it appears that Google, through YouTube, has not taken any similar action.
YouTubes Community Guidelines And Advertising Guidance Ban Threats And Harassment
YouTubes community guidelines include banning content creators -- and not just their advertising -- for threats, including harassment, intimidation, invading privacy, revealing other people's personal information, and inciting others to commit violent acts. Infowars is no stranger to harassment and threats. In addition, YouTubes content guidelines, which apply to pages hosting advertisements, say that videos with inappropriate language, including harassment, profanity and vulgar language are inappropriate for advertising. Jones, including on his YouTube page, regularly makes vulgar and harassing comments, and his role in spreading conspiracy theories has helped incite others to commit threatening and violent acts.
