Another legal complication may have surfaced in The Onions bid to buy the Infowars empire from bankrupt conspiracy media mogul Alex Jones. X filed a limited objection to the transfer of Infowars X accounts to the satirical media empire in a federal Bankruptcy Court on Monday.The objection claims that X Corporations terms of service states the Trustee cannot sell, assign or otherwise transfer such license absent X Corp.s consent, according to court records.X Corporation cites its own Terms of Service (TOS) agreement in its objection. The TOS states accounts cannot be transferred, gifted, sold or assigned to other parties without Xs express written consent.Because the X accounts are governed by the TOS, the TOS make clear that X accounts are X Corp.s exclusive property, according to Xs court filing.Jones assets including the Infowars website went into a liquidation auction earlier this month to raise money for the nearly $1.5 billion in damages he accrued in civil trials brought by the family members of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Jones was found liable for spreading rumors about the victims family members that the Sandy Hook shooting was staged as a false flag attack.The Onions parent company Global Tetrahedron stepped in to purchase the Infowars site after receiving permission from the families to accept a lower bid and forgo a portion of the sale to pay Jones other creditors. Onion CEO Ben Collins announced the deal on his Bluesky account as well as the newspapers plans to turn Infowars.com into a very funny, very stupid website.US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez halted the deal calling for an evidentiary hearing to review the auction process. The auctions trustee Christopher Murray said in court that Global Tetrahedrons bid was not the highest offered but the sale price included a legal clause citing its deal with the families. The Associated Press reported Monday that Lopez will hear arguments on the trustees sale of Infowars to The Onion on December 9 or 17 in order to ensure a fair and transparent process.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/social-media/x-says-the-onion-cant-have-alex-jones-infowars-accounts-000006993.html?src=rss
