Line 209:
* [[Conspiracy Theorist|Conspiracy theorist]] [[Alex Jones]] was permanently banished from most mainstream social media and internet services following complaints and defamation cases filed by relatives of mass shooting victims whom Jones and his followers launched harassment campaigns aimed to discredit them as so-called "crisis actors", as well as Jones inciting hatred and sowing discord against people of other ethnicities and beliefs. Facebook flagged Jones and his site under their "Dangerous individuals and organisations" blacklist, whilst Apple, YouTube, Spotify, Periscope, Roku, Vimeo and Twitter removed and permanently banned him and his content from being posted on their services. Online payment service PayPal wanted nothing to do with his business transactions either, and both the Apple App Store and Google Play removed the official InfoWars app from their stores, in the latter case only in March 2020 due to serious concerns about lies and misinformation being circulated about the [[COVID-19 Pandemic]]. [[TV Tropes]] doesn't want any articles about him either as he was deemed to be untropable by the site's [[Censorship Bureau]].
* In 2017 [[Steven Seagal]] was banned from entering Ukraine as "a national security threat" (in reality obviously as a tantrum over Seagal being granted Russian citizenship).

* There is a persistent [[Urban Legend]] that, because of a commercial she made for Burger King in 1981 when she was five, [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]] was sued by and then banned for life from [[McDonald's]]. She did make [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ss7_5PSnyA the commercial] and she ''was'' a part of a lawsuit filed by McDonald's against Burger King (she was even put on the stand to testify about the things she said in the commercial). But she was never banned -- although her parents apparently avoided McDonald's for a few years after the lawsuit.
