An additional 18 Infowars accounts have been suspended by Twitter for trying to get around the social media platform’s ban of its founder, Alex Jones.
The suspended accounts will join five others “under the Infowars umbrella” that were previously kicked off Twitter for the same violation, The Hill reported.
We will continue to evaluate reports we receive regarding other accounts potentially associated with @realalexjones or @infowars and will take action if content that violates our rules is reported or if other accounts are utilized in an attempt to circumvent their ban.

Jones, a far-right-leaning conspiracy theorist, and the main Infowars account were permanently banned from the site last month for repeated “Tweets and videos… that violate our abusive behavior policy,” Twitter announced.
Newly suspended accounts include @InfowarsPapers, @InforwarsShop, @InfowarsReports and @Inforwars_EU.
