Facebook and ebonyYouTube hit far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones with minor bans over the last week. Now Spotify has joined the fray.
The streaming service said it removed some, but not all, of the The Alex Jones Show, citing violations of its hateful content policy.
SEE ALSO: Twitter may be making it harder to find the worst people on its site"We take reports of hate content seriously and review any podcast episode or song that is flagged by our community," a Spotify spokesperson said via email.
"Spotify can confirm it has removed specific episodes of ‘The Alex Jones Show’ podcast for violating our hate content policy."
It comes following pressure from groups such as Sleeping Giants, an organization that targets advertisers and companies that help promote "bigotry, sexism, and racism."
Spotify's removal of "specific episodes" didn't go far enough for some people. Jones has used his platform to accuse Parkland survivor David Hogg of being a crisis actor, as well as to promote the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.
