The companies are claiming that InfoWars' content repeatedly violated their policies, and they are booting him because of this content. They are clearly stating that InfoWars breaks their rules on hate speech, bullying, etc. One may not agree with their rules, or call the rules gray or up for interpretation, but InfoWars broke their rules, and have been booted from the platform, period. They aren't "lying about their reasons for doing so."
