Apple confirmed on Monday that it had removed five out of six podcasts, which includes Jones' infamous The Alex Jones Show. Facebook has also removed four pages that belong to Jones. YouTube followed suit later, removing his channel from its platform. Apple and Facebook said Jones violated hate speech policies on their respective platforms. YouTube removed Jones' official channel because he continued to livestream on other channels even though he was banned for 90 days due to previous violations.
