> We know the government has conspired against Americans to prohibit 'misinformation' on social media
That "conspiracy" was the US government asking media platforms not to share covid misinformation. The "shock" of it was literally just the gov sending out "Hey, could you please limit this?". Not a court order, not a "we'll take you down if you don't" just a "Hey, please take this down". Something that every gov admin has done (and many non-US govs do).
> when the censorship regime considers Jones public enemy #1
Jones is public enemy #1 according to jones. He's wildly irreverent in both left and rightwing media.
> I'm not up to date on all the facts, but Jones alleges foul play, that he was found in default because they asked him to produce non-existent items.
Hey, before you take Jones' word for why he was defaulted, perhaps actually get up to date on the facts. Perhaps, look into them not from what Jones says but read the facts for yourself.
I have to point out that you are rushing to defend someone without actually knowing why they are in the mess they are in.
> so it's unclear what actually transpired for Jones to be found in default.
No, it's not. There are actually public records and court docs for why he was defaulted. It's not a "left right" thing.
It's only unclear because apparently your only source for what transpired is Jones himself.
You can see for yourself the kind of garbage Free speech systems was trying to pull in the depositions [1]. Mind you, this is not the first or only deposition with a corporate representative. They were given a list of topics to prepare for and they did the deposition multiple times because the Court had to instruct them, multiple times "Prepare for these topics and questions, this is what due diligence looks like".
The answers in the video are literally "Who did you ask about this" nobody. "What did you do to prepare for this" nothing. "Did you know I was going to ask this" yes.
That sort of "I'm not playing your game" action from Jones and co is exactly why they got defaulted.
> I don't know the venue off-hand, but if it was in CT, then the judges and jury would be 100% partisan.
Jones was defaulted in both CT and TX. Two different cases, two different judges, two different juries. But he played exactly the same games and lost the same way.
> Judges and juries in Texas or Florida would likely result in a much different outcome.
Found guilty in Texas. Again, maybe familiarize yourself with what he did before defending him.
