Radio and television host Alex Jones has filed an appeal to reverse the permanent suspension of his Twitter account on Monday, following the news that African-American tech philanthropist Elon Musk had successfully acquired the platform.
“Upon learning Twitter was under new management, Alex Jones immediately filed an appeal of his account’s suspension,” wrote Adan Salzar, an employee at Jones’ company Infowars.
“Account was suspended in 2018 as part of a widespread attempt to remove me from the internet,” Jones wrote in the appeal description. “Whereas ‘free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy’ – I am requesting that my account be reinstated.” Upon learning Twitter was under new management, Alex Jones immediately filed an appeal of his account’s suspension.

Twitter suspended Jones’ personal and business accounts in 2018, in what was viewed at the time as an unprecedented display of politically motivated censorship.
“Today, we permanently suspended @realalexjones and @infowars from Twitter and Periscope,” Twitter Safety stated. “We took this action based on new reports of Tweets and videos posted yesterday that violate our abusive behavior policy, in addition to the accounts’ past violations.”
“As we continue to increase transparency around our rules and enforcement actions, we wanted to be open about this action given the broad interest in this case,” Twitter Safety continued. “We do not typically comment on enforcement actions we take against individual accounts, for their privacy.”
Jones’ suspension was to be the first of many bans affecting non-liberal activists on the platform, culminating in the suspension of President Donald Trump in January 2021.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
