The clock is now ticking on Infowars.

“This must be what Hell’s like,” the notorious right-wing conspiracy theorist said on an Infowars livestream as a Connecticut jury awarded plaintiffs a staggering nearly $1 billion in damages. The families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School victims actually know what Hell feels like. Jones put them there with his heinous conspiracy theories and lies about the 2012 shooting, which he repeated again and again over the years, ignoring pleas to stop.

Jones has, of course, vowed to appeal. And his company has filed for bankruptcy. So he may be able to delay the inevitable for a little time longer. But not forever. Will Jones have a platform in five years? Ten years? If he struggled with being deplatformed from major social media websites, Jones is going to be in for an entirely new world of hurt when he loses the instrument he built over the years that allowed him to weaponize information for his own ends.

Not a word about the banks that made billions and got billions in 2008, while ppl lost their homes and retirement!! Yet, here we are trying to fight misinformation, when the real culprits are writing are ticked on CNN and other clown media, lying and manuipulatonf, cancelling lol

Does that put all the other media, incl CNN, at risk of being more liable when they say inaccurate and negative things that hurt others?
