As The Onion attempts to acquire Alex Jones’ bankrupt Infowars empire, a new legal obstacle has arisen. X has filed a limited objection in federal Bankruptcy Court regarding the transfer of Infowars’ X accounts to the satirical media giant. The objection is based on X Corporation’s terms of service, which clearly state that the accounts cannot be transferred without X Corp.’s consent.
Here are the key points surrounding this legal complication:
- X Corporation’s objection is rooted in its terms of service, which explicitly prohibit the transfer of accounts without consent.
- The objection emphasizes that according to the terms of service, the accounts are considered X Corp.’s exclusive property.
- Jones’ assets, including the Infowars website, were put up for liquidation auction to settle damages arising from civil trials related to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
- The Onion’s parent company intervened to purchase the Infowars site at a lower bid, with permission from the families affected by the tragedy.
- US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez has postponed the deal and scheduled an evidentiary hearing to ensure a fair process.
As the legal battle continues, it remains to be seen how this situation will unfold. Stay tuned for updates on the outcome of this contentious acquisition.
