InfoWars is reportedly one step closer to being banned from YouTube after posting a video promoting a conspiracy theory about the Florida high school shooting.
The channel, run by famed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, received one strike from YouTube for posting that video, according to The Hill citing a CNN report Friday.
If a channel receives three strikes from YouTube within three months, it gets banned from YouTube.
"Last summer we updated the application of our harassment policy to include hoax videos that target the victims of these tragedies,” a YouTube spokesperson told CNN. "Any video flagged to us that violates this policy is reviewed and then removed."
The video in question claimed that survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting in Parkland, Fla., were crisis actors. It singled out student David Hogg, who has spoken out publicly after the shooting.
