X Asserts 'Superior Ownership,' Blocks The Onion's Acquisition of Infowars Accounts in Bankruptcy
Nov 26, 2024, 10:32 PM
Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, has filed an objection in the bankruptcy proceedings of Alex Jones' Infowars to prevent the transfer of Infowars' X accounts to The Onion, which has purchased Infowars' assets in the bankruptcy auction. X asserts 'superior ownership' over all user accounts on its platform, arguing that users hold only a non-exclusive license to use them. The legal filing claims that X owns all accounts and can intervene in legal proceedings unrelated to it, thereby blocking the sale or transfer of the accounts. This case underscores the issue of user ownership of social media accounts and the platform's control over user content and account ownership.
