Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said on Tuesday night that his company did not suspend conspiracy theorist Alex Jones from its platform because Jones “hasn’t violated our rules.”

Dorsey addressed the issue one day after Jones, the Infowars personality, was banned from YouTube, Spotify and Facebook.

“We didn’t suspend Alex Jones or Infowars yesterday,” Dorsey wrote on Twitter.

“We know that’s hard for many but the reason is simple: he hasn’t violated our rules. We’ll enforce if he does. And we’ll continue to promote a healthy conversational environment by ensuring tweets aren’t artificially amplified.”

Dorsey went on to explain that the company would “hold Jones to the same standard we hold to every account.”

The Twitter honcho admitted that Jones, who has claimed that the Sandy Hook shooting was staged, can “often sensationalize issues and spread unsubstantiated rumors.”

But Dorsey put the onus on journalists to “document, validate, and refute such information directly so people can form their own opinions.”
