They're basically saying this sets a precedent and that "misinformation" will be clamped down upon.
Careful what you say on here, FRiends.

They’re not taking Alex Jones down because he was wrong once, but because he was right about the powerful too often.
Who was actually defamed in the defamation case?
in that case, the entire FakeNewsMSM WORLDWIDE should be prosecuted, convicted and shut down.
The headline is very misleading. While the jury may have awarded $50,000,000, Texas has a cap on punitive damages not to exceed $750,000 per plaintiff. This figure is well below the $150 million each that the plaintiff’s lawyer was seeking.
The defamation judgement could serve as a precedent for other misinformation-related cases moving through the courts: showing what people can say and whether they can make money doing it online.

There is the underlying purpose. Criminalize any speech which is counter to any officially sanctioned government narrative. “Misinformation” is a thoughtcrime.
There goes free speech.
Jones would air both sides of the story, present all known facts, and let the listener decide.
The families claimed nut cases would send them, in their eyes, hurtful mail and messages.
When will the folks actually bothering the families be taken to court
Nichlos Sandmann sues media for defamation - everyone believes in defamtion cases! Those media talking heads are exposed for what they are!
Gibson’s Bakery sues Oberlin College for defamation - everyone celebrates. Those sniveling woke college employees are taught a lesson.
Alex Jones gets sued for defamation - Suddenly defamation cases are a threat to the U.S.!
Did he lie about the behavior or character of anyone?
If not, where’s standing?
Alex Jones was the proof-of-concept of banning conservatives from the interwebs.
He is now the proof-of-concept for a weaponized kangaroo-court “justice” system.
The weaponized court system is how they plan on making sure “you own nothing.”

What are the specifics? Which show shows what he said that is defamatory?
What threats to people is he responsible for? How?
