PayPal confirmed Friday that it was dropping support for all Infowars websites,DMCA where conspiracy theorist Alex Jones makes serious cash selling shady health supplements.
"Our values are the foundation for the decision," a PayPal spokesperson told Mashable in a statement. "We undertook an extensive review of the Infowars sites, and found instances that promoted hate or discriminatory intolerance against certain communities and religions, which run counter to our core value of inclusion."

In 2017, New York Magazineestimated that Jones made $15 to $25 million on supplements over two years. Even if that's off, Jones himself bragged about making $18 million off his store in 2012 through 2013. Let's just say they're not worth the exorbitant prices.
While Twitter and Facebook banning Alex Jones reduces his reach, a ban from PayPal really hits him where it hurts: his wallet.
