Alex Jones' Infowars removed from LinkedIn, still up on Instagram and Twitter

From CNET: Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is quickly disappearing from the internet, though some accesses to his site Infowars is still available on the web.

After we inquired this afternoon about the Infowars company page, LinkedIn responded that it has removed the page from its platform.

"We have removed the InfoWars company page for violating our terms of service. We value the professional community on LinkedIn and strive to create a platform where the exchange of ideas by professionals can happen without harmful misinformation, bullying, harassment or hate.

We encourage our members to report any inappropriate content or behavior. We investigate and if it is in violation take action, which could include removing the content or suspending the account."

Pinterest is the latest platform to take down Infowars' page on Monday after multiple people flagged the conspiracy theory account to the company.

"Consistent with our existing policies, we take action against accounts that repeatedly save content that could lead to harm," a Pinterest spokesperson said in an email statement. "People come to Pinterest to discover ideas for their lives, and we continue to enforce our principles to maintain a safe, useful and inspiring experience for our users."
