Who owns your social media accounts? If you're on X, Elon Musk argues that it's the platform. In an objection filed on Monday, lawyers argued that its terms of service (TOS) prevent former Infowars owner Alex Jones' accounts from being sold off without X's approval. Jones' assets are being liquidated to pay the families of Sandy Hook victims after they won a defamation case against him. Satirical site The Onion purchased Infowars with social media accounts forming part of the deal. X's team wrote in Monday's objection: “The Trustee now seeks to contravene X Corp.’s TOS by improperly selling or otherwise transferring the X Accounts (which neither Jones nor his bankruptcy estate own) to a third party." Here's more from @TheHill.
