💨 Abstract

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars brand and website were bought by the parody website The Onion in a bankruptcy auction. Jones filed for bankruptcy protection in 2022 due to court orders to pay $1.5 billion for defaming Sandy Hook shooting victims' families. The Onion's acquisition aims to end the misinformation machine operated by Jones. The families of eight Sandy Hook victims supported the Onion's bid.
