[19:33] schestowitz[TR3] That sale was scuttled by a bankruptcy court. Now, The Onion has re-emerged with a new plan: licensing the website from Gregory Milligan, the court-appointed manager of the site. [19:33] schestowitz[TR3] On Monday, Mr. Milligan asked Maya Guerra Gamble, a judge in Texass Travis County District Court overseeing the disposition of Infowars, to approve that licensing agreement in a court filing. Under the terms, The Onions parent company, Global Tetrahedron, would pay $81,000 a month to license Infowars.com and its associated intellectual property such as its name for an initial six months, with an option to renew for anot [19:33] schestowitz[TR3] her six months. [19:33] schestowitz[TR3] The licensing deal has been agreed to by The Onion and the court-appointed administrator. But it is not effective until Judge Gamble approves it, and Mr. Jones could appeal any ruling. That means the fate of Infowars remains in limbo until the court rules, probably sometime in the next two weeks. Mr. Jones continues to operate Infowars.com and host its weekday program, The Alex Jones Show.

"Hey, look at how reasonable we've been in spite of the legal craziness. We've put money on the table and are moving forward with a plan that benefits everyone." Now anyone who blocks the plan will be seen as the problem." [19:37] schestowitz[TR3] " [19:37] schestowitz[TR3] This is not final and still has to be approved by a judge (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/business/infowars-alex-jo...)" [19:39] schestowitz[TR3] "Despite the article, infowars.com at least doesn't really seem to be run by The Onion yet? But I'm looking at that site for the first time so I have no idea." [19:40] schestowitz[TR3] " [19:40] schestowitz[TR3] Please can someone correct my opinion on this because I'm sure I'm missing something. [19:40] schestowitz[TR3] I find it crazy that in the US you can't take an opinion on something without risking being bankrupted because that thing you said is later proven untrue and that it hurt someone's feelings feeling which in the US have a monetary value of billions apparently. [19:40] schestowitz[TR3] I agree that the media should be evidence based and it's bad when the media is presenting things which are clearly false, but I also think that sometimes the evidence is misleading and speculation can be useful to get to the truth. [19:40] schestowitz[TR3] Surely cases like this show that it's simply far too dangerous to report on something in the US which might both upset people and could later proven to be false? [19:40] schestowitz[TR3] We have a similar issue in the UK where even when it's widely understood that someone is abusing kids, if they're famous our media basically can't say anything because they'll risk being sued. While our law is well intentioned, it seems that it really just suppresses the free exchange of information which has repeatedly led to harms against children. The speculation while often harmful is sometimes useful. [19:40] schestowitz[TR3] I just feel like there's a middle ground here. Maybe you can sue, but perhaps your feelings are only worth a few hundred thousand pounds? I get the US is much richer than the UK but being sued for billions for being wrong and hurting peoples feelings just seems insane. And I agree Jones was completely wrong to have said what he said. [19:40] schestowitz[TR3] Why am I wrong on this? I hate holding this opinion and would like it changed." [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] "Yes, your understanding is not aligned with the facts of the case. This was not close to an unfair abridgement of Mr. Jones's rights. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] Timeline: [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] 1. Alex Jones hosts guests on his show questioning if a mass school shooting was a falsified event. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] 2. The controversy drove a massive increase in traffic to his videos. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] 3. This encouraged Mr. Jones to host additional guests who made direct claims that parents of the slain children were actors hired by the US government. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] 4. Those parents received intense harassment and death threats. Many had to move away from their homes. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] 5. The parents sent many requests to the Infowars show asking Mr. Jones to stop claiming they were actors; Infowars did not stop. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] 6. The parents sued. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] 7. Infowars failed to comply with standard evidence discovery requests. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] 8. After many attempts by the court to achieve compliance, the plaintiffs moved for a default judgement. The court accepted. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] 9. At the award hearing, plaintiffs provided evidence that Mr. Jones moved assets out of Infowars to a company owned by his parents specifically to evade paying the judgment. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] 10. The jury at the award hearing awarded the plaintiffs about $1B in damages. Rationale was to discourage Mr. Jones from continuing to libel family members impacted by mass shootings. [19:41] schestowitz[TR3] The award hearing was exceptionally dramatic and theatrical. The defense was repeatedly caught in lies and accidentally sent evidence to the plaintiff's lawyer, revealing Mr. Jones's perjury. ● Apr 21 [21:04] admfubar https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/apr/21/bill-banning-people-born-after-2008-from-buying-tobacco-clears-uk-parliament [21:04] -TechPolBot/#techpol-www.theguardian.com | Bill banning people born after 2008 from buying tobacco clears UK parliament | Smoking | The Guardian [21:53] admfubar https://www.techdirt.com/2026/04/20/caught-in-the-crackdown-as-arrests-at-anti-ice-protests-piled-up-prosecutions-crumbled/ [21:53] -TechPolBot/#techpol-Caught In The Crackdown: As Arrests At Anti-ICE Protests Piled Up, Prosecutions Crumbled | Techdirt [21:54] admfubar https://www.techdirt.com/2026/04/20/palantir-goes-mask-off-for-fascism-it-wont-end-well/ [21:54] -TechPolBot/#techpol-Palantir Goes Mask-Off For Fascism.
