    What rights was he denied? He's allowed to say whatever he wants, and the people he speaks about are allowed to hold him accountable. I am still amazed at how many people don't know how free speech works.

    He was declared guilty by the judge.

    What exactly is "accountable" mean for a person or an organization that says things on a public platform that may or may not be true? Are there any other cases where that may have happened recently?

    And please explain to the rest of us how free speech actually works. I'm fuzzy on it. Use small words for me, since I'm such a simpleton.

    Pretty similar to giving a damn about mean tweets. One side seems to be a bit more fragile when it comes to words. Especially, if they don't fit an agenda.

    Because it has not happened to you or anybody who "likes" your comment. It's so easy to talk about what we would do.

    The part most miss about free speech is Alex Jones can say whatever he wants, he can, but a person if it's a lie has the same right to challenge what they said and hold them accountable if it's harmful to them.

    Yes, it's that simple, and what most don't understand. You can be held accountable for what you say about a person, family, or even corporation if it is a lie. First Amendment protects you from the government, not the private sector.

    The above in quotes is what a lot of people don't understand about free speech, I am sure you did Ridge

    The plaintiffs didn't prove he lied. A purple haired Hillary Clinton devotee decreed it unilaterally and unsupported by physical evidence. That's what you continue to disregard.

    You want to codify being butt-hurt?
    This is why that's a really bad idea-
