Alex Jones flees to Vimeo, is immediately banned there as well

"We do not want to profit from content of this nature in any way."

Alex Jones is trying to find a new home for his crumbling Infowars empire, but his latest encampment lasted mere days before he was banned from yet another digital platform. Late last week, Jones posted several videos on Vimeo, but by Sunday he and his videos had been removed from the service.

Vimeo told Business Insider that it removed the videos because they “violated our Terms of Service prohibitions on discriminatory and hateful content.” The spokesperson added, “[W]e do not want to profit from content of this nature in any way.” Employees inside the company had reportedly voiced concern about the account’s existence last week. Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud plans to address the decision during a town hall meeting Monday morning.

Vimeo’s ban follows decisions by Facebook, Apple, Spotify, and YouTube to ban or at least suspend Jones from using their services to spread his conspiracy theories and hateful rhetoric.

One service that continues to allow Jones full access, however, is Twitter.

1. He is running out of dark places to hide.

[workinclasszero]

5. If twitter would grow a social conscience anyway

[LiberalLovinLug]

33. If Twitter actually enforced their own standards

Trump would be the top of the list to ban.
And they can't do that because almost half the country would boycott the service in deference to their Dear Leader.

[workinclasszero]

34. Ain't that the truth

Trump is probably the biggest racist troll on twitter!

[Initech]

16. May he be banished to the dark recesses of the internet.

Never to return!

[dalton99a]

2. Let Russia host his garbage

[workinclasszero]

4. I could definitely see that happening

[Initech]

18. It happened to the Daily Stormer.

If I remember they got dropped by their ISP after Charlottesville, then they went to the Dark Web, now they are being hosted by a Russian ISP. Gee, I wonder why?

[workinclasszero]

25. Russians hosting a nazi website

Millions of Russians gave their lives to stop Nazism, now their own government is helping it grow.

Just damn!

[Initech]

27. It is totally fucked up isn't it?

Putin is turning this world upside down, backwards, and inside out. He's the worst human being in the world.

[workinclasszero]

30. Total damn evil

And our "president", the GOP and Fox, hate radio as well, all working towards the same goal as Adolf Hitler had in WW2!

When the *uck is the world going to wake up to this threat?

[frogmarch]

3. Will he take to the streets

when he runs completely out of Internet places to spew his crap? He's not sneaky, so I doubt he'll become a night stalker-killer, but what will he do? Start mowing people down with an assault rifle in broad daylight?

He is nuts and needs to be monitored.

[workinclasszero]

8. Ghost write a book?

All the reich wing grifters go that route eventually it seems like.

[Stallion]

13. ...but his Fans Can't Read

sorry too easy

[workinclasszero]

14. Oh shit!

Good point!

[Danascot]

32. It will be in all caps

and cause an exclamation point shortage for years.

[Iggo]

23. He's the biggest attention whore I've seen this side of televangelists from the 80s/90s.

Hard to tell what he'll do if he thinks noone's listening to him scream.

[malaise]

6. His 15 minutes of fame have expired

Good

[meow2u3]

7. His only refuge would be the dark web

On the dark web, criminals and crazies are welcome, not banned. This way, normal people wouldn't have to watch or listen to his terroristic tantrums.

[workinclasszero]

9. And that's what gives them power

Unlimited access to the general public, I mean.

[Gothmog]

10. Yeah

[SummerSnow]

11. He might just run a podcast from his basement

[C Moon]

26. Or his parents' basement.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. Womp womp. nt

[donco]

15. I didnt

Know that "Vimeo" existed until now.

[47of74]

20. Yeah I use it for school work

The school I go to mainly used Vimeo for publishing videos.

[calimary]

28. My kid's band did. Lots of bands are into that.

[magicarpet]

17. HA !

Fascist,.. fuck off.

[roscoeroscoe]

19. Calling Twitter...

Any humanity there?

[workinclasszero]

24. Good question

[Renew Deal]

21. He should go back to VHS

[jmowreader]

22. He'll just buy his own server

The $30,000 a month it’ll cost him for bandwidth is another question, but he could serve this crap himself for a while at least.

[calimary]

31. He'd have to spend all his airtime begging for bucks.

Shake down his fan base like the prosperity “gospel” churches like to do. Shrill screeching about terrible horrible they’re-out-to-get-me hysteria like the NRA’s now screaming - about their impending “bankruptcy”. Yeah. Like I believe THAT.

The sad thing is - I’m pretty sure most of his fans don’t have the luxury of supporting their favorite Jabba the Hutt lookalikein the manner to which he’s become accustomed. He’s nothing but a big fat leech. An opportunistic infection if ever there was one.

29. Take your 9/11 truther bullshit and hit the road, Alex. Your fools will pay to hear your BS

You certainly have the right to speak weaver nonsense you like, and private companies have the right to say "NO"
