They note that that founded to help people targeted by online mobs as a result of "overt disregard shown by Facebook." They want the site's policies to be altered so that victims of tragedies become protected groups and for those affected to have direct access to Facebook staff who'll remove harassing posts. Pozner and De La Rosa cite the assurances Zuckerberg made regarding his efforts to battle disinformation on Facebook, but say those aren't enough. One of the abusers was sentenced to jail for threats she admitted to making as a result of accusations made by one of the groups. The pair note that while Facebook dismisses the claims as "fake news" created by "fringe conspiracy groups," they are living in hiding after enduring harassment and death threats online, on the phone and in person.
"These claims and calls to action spread across Facebook like wildfire and, despite our pleas, were protected by Facebook," said Pozner and De La Rosa. 14, 2012 massacre was a hoax, saying the victims were "crisis actors" and that they must "find out the truth" about victims' families. They write that "conspiracy groups and anti-government provocateurs" used Facebook to make claims that the Dec. Noah Pozner's older sister holds an image of her brother. Lenny Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, whose 6-year-old son Noah Pozner was killed in the Newtown, Connecticut, attack spoke directly to the social network's founder in an open letter published by The Guardian.

That’s how much Jones and Free Speech Systems are estimated to be worth, according to a forensic psychiatrist who testified in the Texas trial, with a low estimate of $130 million. The families of nine victims also took him to a federal bankruptcy court in Texas last month, asking a judge to order him to relinquish control of his company after having “transferred millions of dollars” to himself-a Texas judge could hear the families’ discovery motion Tuesday. Jones had tried to delay the procedures and put his business into bankruptcy in an attempt to halt the litigation process, although the case was dismissed after parents intervened, calling it a “stall tactic.” His company agreed to face trial last month. Jones’ legal troubles began in 2018, when the families of 10 Sandy Hook shooting victims filed four defamation lawsuits against him and Infowars parent company Free Speech Systems, six years after a gunman killed 20 first-grade students and six teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
