💨 Abstract

The Onion, a satirical news website, has won the bankruptcy auction for Alex Jones' Infowars, a conspiracy theory platform. The Onion aims to replace Infowars' disinformation with its own "less hateful disinformation." Infowars was sold due to legal judgments against Jones for defaming Sandy Hook shooting victims' families, totaling $1.5 billion.
