Paul Joseph Watson (born 24 May 1982)[1] is a British right-wing[10] YouTuber, radio host, and conspiracy theorist.[14] Until July 2016, Watson embraced the label "alt-right", but he now identifies as part of the New Right.[15] In May 2019, Facebook and Instagram permanently banned Watson for violation of hate speech policies.[16][17]

Watson's career emerged through his work for conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones. As editor-at-large of Jones' website InfoWars, he helped promote fake news[18] and advocated for 9/11, chemtrail, and New World Order conspiracy theories.[1] Subsequently, reaching a significant audience, both Watson and Jones altered their focus. They now mainly criticise feminism, Islam, and left-wing politics.[19] Watson also contributes to InfoWars's talk radio program The Alex Jones Show, which he occasionally hosts or co-hosts. Watson has been working at InfoWars since October 2002.[20]

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. He rose to prominence on his YouTube channel by criticizing and mocking the "woke mob", social justice warriors, feminism and anti-racist movements.[9] As of May 2023, his channel has over 1.9 million subscribers.[21]

Paul Joseph Watson, Alex Jones's British mini-me, has followed the same broad path that the rest of the organization has. He was never on the left, of course, but over time his commentary has focused less and less on the Illuminati and chemtrails, and more and more on pushing a stridently anti-Muslim, anti-feminist and anti-left message.
