(CNN)InfoWars, a far-right media organization run by Alex Jones and known for peddling unfounded conspiracy theories, is on thin ice with YouTube after it posted a video that portrayed the survivors of the Parkland school shooting as actors.

The Alex Jones Channel, Infowar's biggest YouTube account, received one strike for that video, a source with knowledge of the account told CNN. YouTube's community guidelines say if an account receives three strikes in three months, the account is terminated.

That video focused on David Hogg, a strong voice among survivors of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The attention has given him a powerful platform -- but it has also made him the subject of demonstrably false conspiracy theories that claim he is so simply too skilled as public speakers not to be a paid actor.

On Wednesday, YouTube removed the video from InfoWars' page for violating its policies on harassment and bullying. The video was titled, "David Hogg Can't Remember His Lines In TV Interview."

1. So which is it? Is he so polished that he must be

a pro, or so unpolished that he forgets his lines, or more likely, is composing them as he speaks?

[Crowman2009]

2. Probably from all the defamation lawsuits that InfoWhores is getting.

The owners of "Comet Ping Pong" and Chobani is suing Alex Jonestown. Along with that bloated bastard trying to incite a civil war every week. I guess Google is assuming that his subscriber base is not worth the liability.

8. Calling Alex Jones a bloated bastard is insulting.

To bloated bastards.

Even bloated bastards have standards.

9. I had to look up the Chobani one

3. How do we apply the last two strikes?

[Crowman2009]

4. Probably if the round mound of pound defames someone again or wants to incite violence.

[WhiteTara]

5. Isn't that daily?

round mound of flounder.

[Crowman2009]

6. I say pound because he regularly pounds his desk like a mentally deranged lunatic.

[WhiteTara]

7. What a baby tantrum! I have never watched

him. And, of course, I never intend to.

10. Consider yourself lucky!

13. He's so spoofable

11. We should be able to take it down if we use a concerted effort to do so.

Since most everything they post is usually against YouTube policy, we should be able to coordinate a campaign to cite videos put out by the GOP-promoted fake news site. This is very important, and the ability to do so will determine that our citizens get news that is accurate and progressively-produced. That is key.

12. Too bad it isn't happening with Fux Ruse too.

They are the enemy to the country.

14. Should have been done a long time ago!

Alex needs to be banished to the dark web from which he came!
