Apple was the first major tech company to make a move against Alex Jones of InfoWars Sunday night by removing his podcast from iTunes.

But the InfoWars iPhone app, which hosts some of the same content and themes found on the podcast, still lives on in the company's App Store. In fact, the app had skyrocketed from below the top ten to become the fourth most popular app in the news category — beating out the CNN and Fox News apps — by Tuesday morning. The boost was likely caused by increased downloads given the news Monday that InfoWars was banned from several tech platforms.
