Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Network (US) and 21st Century Fox Inc.'s 20th Century Fox have removed ads from the "Infowars" channel on Google Inc.'s YouTube, The Hollywood Reporter reported March 3.
A Fox representative said they were "unaware of this ad placement and upon learning of it, immediately had it taken down," while a Paramount Network representative said the network has adjusted its campaign's brand safety filters to ensure its ads do not appear on such channels.
Infowars, run by radio host Alex Jones, is known for sharing conspiracy theories.
Google is a unit of Alphabet Inc.
