Spotify has removed episodes of InfoWars host Alex Jones' podcast from its streaming service, according to multiple reports. The music streaming company deleted an unspecified number of The Alex Jones Show episodes for violating its hate content policy.
"We take reports of hate content seriously and review any podcast episode or song that is flagged by our community," Spotify said in a statement to Billboard. "Spotify can confirm it has removed specific episodes of The Alex Jones Show podcast for violating our hate content policy."
It's unclear what speech specifically got those episodes removed from Spotify, and it's unclear which episodes were deleted. Nevertheless, The Alex Jones Show still appears on Spotify with more than one year's worth of episodes still available for streaming.
