Alex Jones asks US supreme court to block $1.4bn defamation judgment

Alex Jones, the controversial rightwing pundit, has taken his fight to the US Supreme Court, seeking to block a staggering $1.4 billion defamation judgment linked to his claims about the Sandy Hook school shooting. This case is significant as it highlights the ongoing legal battles surrounding misinformation and the accountability of public figures for their statements. Jones's appeal is part of a broader strategy to challenge both the judgment and the potential sale of his platform, InfoWars, raising questions about the limits of free speech and the consequences of spreading false narratives.
