YouPorn Drops Alex Jones Too: 'Hate Has No Place on YouPorn'

The Alex Jones social media blackout has now touched the world of pornography.

On Monday, YouPorn announced that it would no longer host any Jones-related content, and said it had deleted six videos which violated its terms of service.

“Following news that YouTube, Facebook, and Spotify have banned Alex Jones from their platforms, team YouPorn is joining in solidarity and announces we are banning his content as well,” said the company’s vice president Charlie Hughes in a statement.

“As one of the largest user generated content platforms in the world, we have already removed his videos that have violated our terms of service. As an inclusive platform, hate has no place on YouPorn.”

Contrary to Hughes’ statement, a spokesperson later confirmed that Jones had never actually uploaded any official InfoWars content to the website and that the company had deleted six “spoof videos” of Jones while adding that any Jones content moving forward would be forbidden. And if the noted conspiracist ever had any plans to become active on YouPorn, that also would not be allowed.

As BuzzFeed’s Charlie Warzel, who first reported news of the statement Monday evening, pointed out that Alex Jones themed pornography is a minor phenomenon online

Jones did not respond to inquiries from TheWrap about the ban.

The move by YouPorn follows Apple, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify and Pinterest, all of which moved to effectively ban the InfoWars chief on Monday. All of the companies cited terms of service violations as the reason for their decision.

“We have taken [Jones] down for glorifying violence, which violates our graphic violence policy, and using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants, which violates our hate speech policies,” said Facebook in a statement widely echoing its industry colleagues.

As of Tuesday morning, Jones and InfoWars only remained on Twitter, with a spokesperson telling TheWrap that they were not currently in violation of Twitter or Periscope’s terms of service.

Trump's Relationship to Alex Jones: A Breakdown (Photos)

The recent backlash against Megyn Kelly and NBC for interviewing Alex Jones has renewed the spotlight on the host of conservative show "Info Wars." Kelly said in a statement Tuesday that she wanted to interview Jones because of his ties with President Donald Trump. Here's a breakdown of their relationship.
Various
Trump and Jones began a relationship on Trump's campaign trail, and have peddled some of the same conspiracy theories, according to Mother Jones. Perhaps Trump's most popular conspiracy theory is that President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States (he was), a theory also perpetuated by Jones.
NBC
In December 2015, Trump was a guest on Jones' show. Jones introduced Trump as "a maverick" who "tells it like it is." Jones opened the show by praising Trump for taking attacks from media outlets like the Washington Post and the New York Post. Jones theorizes that the attacks on 9/11 were a hoax; it was surprising that a Republican candidate would go on a show whose host postures that the previous Republican president was part of such an elaborate hoax.

At a January 2016 campaign event, Trump called Jones "a nice guy."

In February 2016, senior policy advisor to Trump Stephen Miller appeared on "Info Wars," and repeatedly spoke to Jones' audience asking for support. "If you want to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership, if you want to close the border, if you want to protect American jobs and wages, then you have to support Donald J. Trump," Miller said.

"Hillary for prison" became the rallying cry at the 2016 Republican National Convention. The phrase was initially found on merchandise on the "Info Wars" website. Jones was a "special guest" at the convention.

Trump continued to parrot Jones' ideas. Last August, Jones said, "It is surreal to talk about issues here on air, and then word-for-word hear Trump say it two days later."
InfoWars
Also last August, Jones said on his show that he personally talked to Trump and encouraged him to push the idea that the election would be rigged. Trump did end up pushing this idea. "I'm afraid the election's going to be rigged. I have to be honest," Trump said at an Ohio campaign stop.

In November 2016, Trump's advisor Roger Stone told the Washington Post that Jones would be a "valuable asset" to Trump.
InfoWars YouTube
After the election, Jones said in an "Info Wars" video that Trump called him to thank him. "I wanted to talk to you to thank your audience," Jones said the then-president-elect told him.
YouTube
Even Hillary Clinton weighed in on Trump's reliance on Jones for ideas throughout the campaign, and released an attack ad featuring Jones. "This is what Trump listens to," says the ad as Jones talks about chemicals put in the water to make people gay.
YouTube
Jones' website is full of references to "presstitutes," and discredits news organizations like NPR and CNN. Trump is known for discrediting several news organizations. For example, in February he called the media "the enemy."
