Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been suspended from Facebook for 30 days after violating the site’s community guidelines. According to multiple publications, Jones will be unable to use his personal account. But, reports TechCrunch’s Josh Constine, Facebook pages associated with Jones’ name (including “Alex Jones” and “The Alex Jones Channel”) will remain active, with administrators for the pages able to post new content.

In addition to the 30-day personal suspension, four videos were removed from the Facebook page of Jones’ site InfoWars and the page served with its first warning. Facebook said that InfoWars’ videos violated its community guidelines by encouraging physical harm against others and attacking individuals for their religious affiliation and gender identity.
