InfoWars is on YouTube's target list.
A week after getting a first strike, InfoWars earned a second one for posting a pair of videos related to the Parkland shooting.
This time, the second strike was removed a few hours later.
According to YouTube policy, a second strike results in a two week ban from posting while a third strike can have an account permanently terminated.
"This is the second strike applied to your account within three months," the notice reads. "As a result, you're unable to post new content to YouTube for two weeks. If there are no further issues, the ability to upload will be automatically restored after this two week period."
Infowars has referred to the YouTube strikes as a "CNN lobbying campaign," after CNN reported that they had “identified three similar YouTube videos from InfoWars” which they flagged to YouTube. A YouTube spokesperson responded at the time that those videos were under review.
Hogg has come under fire for flubbing his lines in a CNN interview causing many, including InfoWars, to speculate that he was coached about what to say.
Hogg denies this accusation and send out a number of Tweets aimed at Alex Jones.
The fact that the witnesses and victims of this have been called actors is a perfect example of the lack of maturity and basic human empathy in this country and in many adults like [@DonaldJTrumpJr][8]

Jones invited Hogg onto his show:
David, you are welcome to come on the show.
Are you aware that CNN is using you as part of a lobbying campaign to shut down Infowars?
You are now a public figure & activist. You are not immune to criticism.
We know your views on the 2nd amendment. Do you support the 1st?

Hogg turned the offer down.
