Infowars briefly returned to YouTube before being removed from the platform Thursday, a spokesperson for the video platform confirmed to The Hill.
"The War Room," Infowars’ program for afternoon commuters, relaunched its YouTube channel on Wednesday, Vice News first reported.
That move came a day after Youtube CEO Susan Wojcicki invited "offensive" content back onto the site in a letter to creators.
“Without an open system, diverse and authentic voices have trouble breaking through,” she wrote in the letter. “I believe preserving an open platform is more important than ever.”
"A commitment to openness is not easy. It sometimes means leaving up content that is outside the mainstream, controversial or even offensive," she said.
In the first video uploaded to the channel, "War Room" host Owen Shroyer reportedly read a portion of Wojcicki's letter in a video titled “Breaking! YouTube CEO says ‘Alex Jones’ and ‘Infowars Ban Is Over,'” according
