    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.

    Facebook, Apple, YouTube and Spotify have taken down material published by Jones, reflecting more aggressive enforcement of hate speech policies after online backlash.

    But Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey defended his company’s decision last week not to ban Jones, saying he did not break any rules.

    Would love to know who else they suspended, I am sure the list would only include right-wingers and conservatives while people like Farrakhan, other anti Semites and conspiracy theorists get a free pass
