After threatening Special Counsel Robert Mueller and exotix eroticismaccusing a Parkland survivor of being a crisis actor,InfoWars host Alex Jones is finally, sorta kinda, facing repercussions.
Facebook recently suspended Jones for 30 days and took down four of his videos. YouTube removed four videos as well, issuing Jones a "strike." Receiving three strikes would kick Jones off YouTube, however, strikes also expire after three months.
Far quieter, however, has been digital streaming platform Spotify, who continues -- despite some outrage -- to host multiple InfoWarspodcasts from Jones on site.

Facebook and Spotify share some similar community standards. Spotify warns its users against posting content "intended to or does harass or bully others."
iTunes also continues to host Jones' podcasts. Mashable has reached out to both companies for comment and has not heard back at the time of this publishing. We'll update this post if they respond.
In the past, Jones, a right-wing conspiracy theorist, has used his platform for multiple malicious ends: to accuse Parkland survivor David Hogg of being a crisis actor, to promote the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which resulted in a shooting, and to defame the parents of the children who died in the Sandy Hook massacre, calling the entire event a hoax.
Parents of Sandy Hook survivors, many of whom say they continue to suffer extreme online abuse because of the show, recently sued its host.
It's unclear why these platforms continues to host Jones' content, though that may change if user outcry continues to grow.
Sleeping Giants, an "organization dedicated to stopping racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and anti-Semitic news sites by stopping their ad dollars," took notice of the podcasts earlier today. The Giants are a leader in the ad-boycott campaign against Breitbart.

Though Facebook and YouTube have both slapped Jones on the wrist, neither platform is showing any sign of removing him anytime soon, perhaps fearing right-wing reprisal.
Surprisingly, yogurt has been far more aggressive than any of the platforms in punishing Alex Jones. Last year, Jones was forced to withdraw claims that Chobani yogurt, known for hiring refugees, was responsible for a tuberculosis outbreak, among other insidious allegations, in order to resolve a lawsuit.
Yogurt, thank you for leading the way.
