- giancarlostoro 2y agoIf that's the case, I sure hope nobody finds my post history from my teen years, or the history of anyone who was a rebellious teen on the internet in the 2000s.
- Eisenstein 2y agoThat's why we have courts and juries, to make these evaluations. Why should your number should be used over theirs?
- impossiblefork 2y agoBecause it's obviously crazy. 1 billion dollars is the 588 people's entire life income. It's just excessive.
- mikeyouse 2y agoAlex jones sold something like $165M in supplements in the 3 years preceding this case… this is somehow the opposite of people complaining that judgements against FB are too small based on the Revenue.
- pythonaut_16 2y agoSo you're saying the legal system should hinge on the judgement of what random people believe is "crazy" rather than judges, juries, laws, etc. One opinion should outweigh everyone and everything else?
- Eisenstein 2y agoThe people who saw all the information and heard from the parties involved made that decision. You are saying they are wrong based on a feeling.
- hajile 2y agoIt was a default judgement. No trial took place and there was no ability for the jury to see evidence from both sides. The monetary amount was absolutely based on feelings.
- Eisenstein 2y agoThey heard testimony, including Jones'. The fact that they weren't able to see evidence from the other side is because they refused to give any.
