Paul Joseph Watson (born 24 May 1982) is a British YouTuber, radio host, and conspiracy theorist. Until July 2016, he embraced the label "alt-right", but he now identifies as part of the New Right. In May 2019, Facebook and Instagram permanently banned Watson for violation of hate speech policies.
Watson began working at Alex Jones' website InfoWars in 2002 where he promoted fake news stories like Pizzagate 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. Watson also contributes to InfoWars's talk radio program The Alex Jones Show, which he occasionally hosts or co-hosts.
Since 2011, Watson has hosted his own YouTube channel, prisonplanetlive, on which he expresses his views on topics such as contemporary society, politics, and modern liberalism in an often mocking manner. His YouTube channel criticises and mocks the "woke mob", social justice warriors, feminism and anti-racist movements. As of May 2023, his channel has over 1.9 million subscribers.
