In May 2019, Facebook and Instagram permanently banned Watson for violation of hate speech policies. Watson's began working at Alex Jones' website InfoWars in 2002 where he helped promote fake news and advocated for 9/11, chemtrail, and New World Order conspiracy theories. He later shifted his focus to criticisms of feminism, Islam, and left-wing politics.
