InfoWars' terms of service totally contradicts its core belief of freedom of speech.

The website, which conspiracy theorist and self-proclaimed performance artist Alex Jones claims is a legitimate news outlet, has been kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, iTunes, and even Pinterest this week for spreading hateful lies. In response, Jones and his supporters took to one of the last platforms InfoWars hasn't been banned from to lambast the changes: Twitter.

"Understand this: The censorship of Infowars just vindicates everything we've been saying," Jones tweeted on Monday. "Now, who will stand against Tyranny and who will stand for free speech? We're all Alex Jones now."

Uh, sure.

You'd expect Jones' site to be a bastion of what he considers free speech: people could say whatever they want on InfoWars without worrying about their hot takes getting taken down.

Except as Snopes' Alex Kasprak pointed out, InfoWars' terms of service is totally chill with banning "hateful" speech. Their terms of service outlines the limitations for publishing posts and commenting, including anything "libelous, defamatory, harmful, threatening, harassing, abusive, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, racially or ethnically objectionable, or otherwise illegal."

If posts do include any of those, the TOS says:

"If you violate the rules, your posts and/or user name will be deleted. Remember: you are a guest here. It is not censorship if you violate the rules and your post is deleted. All civilizations have rules and if you violate them you can expect to be ostracized from the tribe."

Twitter user Jared Novack poked fun at Jones' insistence that banning InfoWarswas government censorship.

Others joked about how ironic InfoWars' terms of service are compared to Jones' arguments.

Jones hasn't made a public statement about the fact that his own site censors posts. He did, however, put out a video ranting about internet censorship.
