[DonViejo]

NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter says it is suspending the account of the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for one week after he violated the company’s rules against inciting violence.

The New York Times reports that Jones tweeted a link to a video calling for supporters to get their “battle rifles” ready against media and others.

Jones won’t be able to tweet or retweet from his personal account for seven days, though he will be able to browse Twitter.

The Twitter account for his “Infowars” show was not affected.

1. I am not complaining, but why are all these companies suddenly deciding to follow their own

rules with regard to this batshit? The rules have always been in place and they never have before?

And how about twitter suspending the idiot in the white house for inciting violence against the press?

2. Meh.. just goes to show ya...

if nobody makes a stink about injustices, they will continue unabated. A slap on the wrist, no real committment by the company, they want to look good in the eyes of their addicts.
