YouTube 'reprimands InfoWars' for promoting Florida school shooting conspiracy theory
A far-right site known for its false and outlandish conspiracy theories has reportedly been reprimanded by YouTube after it posted a video which suggester survivors of the Florida school shooting were actors.
InfoWars' biggest YouTube account, The Alex Jones Channel, is reported to have received one strike from the video-sharing site for the video.
YouTube’s community guidelines stipulate the account will be shut down altogether if it gets three strikes in the space of three months, a source told CNN.
The channel, which is hosted by far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, posted a video about David Hogg, who survived the Valentines Day bloodshed which left 17 dead.
The clip took screenshots of an interview Mr Hogg did with KCBS in order to falsely claim he and other students were "crisis actors".
The video – titled “David Hogg can’t remember his lines in TV interview" – was removed by YouTube for breaching its policies on bullying and harassment.
