Recently, Elon Musk announced that he was reinstating the X account of far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his “Infowars” show.

Jones and Infowars, you’ll remember, were banned from Twitter in 2018 after years of spreading lies and hate, including the disgusting idea that the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting was a hoax.

Jones’ return to X is just one example of an alarming trend. After pressure from Republicans (and the usual thirst for profit), X, Facebook, and others are rolling back or halting efforts to stop lies, hate, and conspiracy theories from spreading on their platforms.

The result? Bad information is having a renaissance one year out from the 2024 Presidential election.

Will you chip in $5 or more right now so we can stop Alex Jones and other right-wing bad actors from using social media to spread hate and lies? [[link removed]]

With X and other social platforms caving to right-wing wing pressure campaigns, Courier’s work to report the truth and call out bad actors is more important than ever.

We stand up to guys like Alex Jones and Elon Musk with an innovative, research-tested model.

We take the responsibility of delivering good, factual information seriously and will never compromise the truth or our values in our work.

Right now, our talented teams of journalists in nine battleground states are gearing up for what is shaping up to be a pivotal year for our media and our democracy.

We can stop bad information and strengthen our democracy, but to do it, we need your continued support, John.
