The families of Sandy Hook victims are arguing in court that InfoWar’s Alex Jones should have his social media accounts taken away in the court-ordered bankruptcy.
After the conspiracy theorist falsely claimed the Sandy Hook massacre, which killed 20 children and 6 adult staff at the school, was actually a staged operation, leading to the families being harassed by his followers, the court ordered Jones to pay $1.5 billion in the defamation lawsuit.
Now, the families want the court to seize his social media accounts like they did his money-making InfoWars.
The Sandy Hook families asked the judge to make clear that the Jones’ “@RealAlexJones” account on X.com, formerly known as Twitter, will be among the assets turned over to a court-appointed trustee in charge of liquidating Jones’ assets. Jones’ X account, which has 2.3 million followers, is “no different than a customer list of any other liquidating business,” the Sandy Hook families argued.
