Alex Jones will be back on YouTube, courtesy of Logan Paul

Alex Jones is still banned on YouTube, but hell be making an appearance on the platform once again thanks to Logan Paul.

YouTuber Logan Paul posted a tweet to his almost 5 million Twitter followers on Wednesday teasing an upcoming episode of his video podcast, Impaulsive. The 4-second-long clip features conspiracy theorist Alex Jones in-studio cursing and yelling while Paul and his co-hosts laugh along.

Alex Jones, who is currently being sued by the parents of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting, has been banned from YouTube since last summer when the company shut down his InfoWars channel.

YouTube also deleted InfoWars-run channels that attempted to operate as a workaround for Jones to stream on the video platform.

However, while YouTube policy prohibits Jones from running an account, theres currently no such rule that stops a users banned from the platform from appearing in another YouTube users videos. While this makes sense for educational content where, for example, it would be newsworthy for an interview with Jones to appear, it has also given the conspiracy theorist a way to get back on the site and reach YouTube viewers.

While the video podcast will be uploaded to a smaller channel, Alex Jones will have an opportunity to appear in front of a YouTube audience that may not even be that familiar with him or what hes known for.

Many had worried the controversial YouTuber was going to promote the flat earth conspiracy, but the movie turned out to be a mockumentary poking fun at the whole thing.

Judging by the 4-second clip on Twitter, it seems very possible well be adding Alex Jones Impaulsive appearance to that list.
