1. An InfoWars host with a VERIFIED TWITTER ACCOUNT advocated lynching Obama on his show yesterday

"He belongs in jail. He belongs in Guantanamo Bay. I mean look - I'm not saying this should happen - but Barack Obama, find the tallest tree and a rope"

2. The host, Alex Jones' sidekick Owen Shroyer (@allidoisowen) , used his verified Twitter account to promote the show where he advocated the lynching of Barack Obama

3. I contacted Twitter 8 hrs ago and asked them about Shroyer. No response

Twitter says it won't tolerate threats or racism but actions speak louder

I'm using my newsletter, Popular Information, to do the work the social media giants won't do

4. It's not just Twitter. The video of the InfoWars host calling for Obama to be lynched was on YouTube earlier today. That's how I found it.

I contacted YouTube and they responded to me by taking the video down and suspending the account popular.info/p/infowars-hos…
5. UPDATE: InfoWars host Owen Shroyer has responded to this thread (which is still in progress) by advocating for the lynching of Obama

So now he's calling for Obama to be lynched directly on Twitter

6. Even though YouTube took down the video I flagged, it's unclear what they are doing, if anything, to prevent the uploading on InfoWars content to the site.

Even after I contacted YouTube, multiple versions of the same show were still available

7. InfoWars is making a mockery of its ban on Youtube and Twitter. On Twitter there is a large network of accounts that publish InfoWars clips and links, including livestreams of Jones' show popular.info/p/infowars-hos…
