Twitter made its decision one day after Jones accosted CNN reporter Oliver Darcy on Capitol Hill, and livestreamed the encounter through Periscope, which Twitter owns.
Twitter has finally 'permanently banned' Alex Jones and Infowars' accounts, weeks after Jones was banned or suspended by other major tech companies like Apple, Facebook and Google's YouTube.

Shame on Twitter for taking so long. But I'm glad they finally did the right thing.
Oh, wait.
This is going to get even more complicated and bad.

Even though life is emerging following our COVID-19 lockdown, it’s not exactly time to celebrate defeating the insidious virus just yet.

That would follow the pattern suffered […]
