Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
The extra bits here are that they had data proving engagement went way, way up when they claimed it was a deep state conspiracy, so they leaned into it hard. This was done cynically, on purpose. They tortured these child murder victim familes for decades, for money.
The other part is that he lost by default, as he refused to turn over any legally required documents when sued. The only time you would ever opt to do that at trial is if the documents were far more damning than out and out losing. Judges dont like this, and neither do juries.
The third fun part? One of his lawyers legal aides accidentally sent a full capture of alex jones cellphone, with about 2 yrs of data on it, to the opposing council. Instead of making a legally binding request for opposing council to get rid of this accidental disclosure, he just asked him casually to discard it. Opposing council didn't reply back, but did wait the legally required time in Texas before it became "fair game," since alex jones lawyer didnt do his due diligence. A bit of dirty pool from the sandy hook laywer, but a monsterous fuck you to Alex jones that he deserved. His phone was turned over to both the feds for Jan 6th reasons and his ex wife.
I never heard about that last part. That’s the best thing I read today.
