LOS ANGELES: Google on Friday removed the Android version of the Infowars app from the Google Play online store, after comments made by Infowars founder Alex Jones about the Covid-19 pandemic were deemed false and harmful.
Google Play was that last major Internet platform that provided an outlet for Infowars, which trades in right-wing conspiracy theories and fear mongering. In September 2018, Apple banned the Infowars app from the App Store, citing its violation of the policy prohibiting "offensive, insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust or in exceptionally poor taste." Jones and Infowars also have been banned by Google's YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Apple Podcasts and Spotify for violating policies on hate speech and harassment.
