Infowars is an inactive American far-right, conspiracy theorist, and fake news website, which was created by Alex Jones. Founded in 1999, it operated under Free Speech Systems LLC. Talk shows and other content for the site were created primarily in studios at an undisclosed location in an industrial area in the outskirts of Austin, Texas. Reports in 2017 stated that the Infowars website received approximately 10 million monthly visits, making its reach greater than some mainstream news websites such as The Economist and Newsweek at the time.
