Dr. Fetzer fighting for your 1st Ammendment as Jim Garrison Did

information. And this comes after a major legal ruling against a man who called the mass shooting a hoax. It was Concentrary ordered James Fexer who co-wrote a book called Nobody Died at Sandy Hook. To pay $450,000 for the fame in Lenny Posner. Posner's six-year-old son Noah was killed in that 2012 shooting. And Posner has made his mission to change tech company policies to protect victims from online bullying. He's made progress but also enemies and as a result we agreed not to show what he looks like or his own protection. Having that threat for you was seeing a little bit of a verim of dozens and there are threats that are just posted that I may have not even seen. Many Posner says he's been forced to move at least a half dozen times since adaptive is Sonoma. One of 20 children and six adults killed in the 2012 shooting at community at Sandy Hook Elementary School. While still grieving, Hart's new face, a new shock and strangers claimed that the shooting had never really happened. When you find online the talk of conspiracy theories, the talk of crisis actors, the talk of a staged event to take away people's gun rights. Most people probably would have just walked away and you didn't. I never thought I had the option to walk away because that was my life now. The father of a murdered child and the name associated to an online conspiracy theory. Posner funneled his anger into action asking social media platforms to take down the posts at first with little luck. Most of the time there was an automatic or a public response. They had an email with a person that never even dealt to a person. But in the years since this unlikely activist has not only succeeded for himself, he's helping others through his organization, honor network, whose volunteers keep an eye on the internet protecting victims of tragedy, cyber stalking and harassment. People like Amy Parker, I felt sick. After his daughter Allison was shot to death on line of TV in 2015, conspiracy theorists reposted the video. Again, claiming it was a fake. Parker contacted YouTube to get the videos taken down. I thought I could do it just one time and be done with it. They said no, you have to do it for each video. Yeah, it's tantamount to say watch your daughter's murder and then tell us why over and over again and then tell a robot why this needs to come down. That's essentially what they told me to do. The Posner had a better idea. He helped Parker get the rights to the video, allowing him to force the removal in bulk on copyright grounds and it worked. It was just a matter who can help me because and I knew it was winning. More recently, many large tech companies have updated their policies on harassment. So what role do you think him personally played in getting Facebook and Google YouTube and WordPress to change their policies? I think that had I not ashamed of him publicly using the press that none of that would have happened in a way that it has happened. In confronting misinformation, Posner has also changed minds. I think it could be summed up with the term Sandy Hoax. They didn't get Harry's company published James Fetzer's book, Nobody Died in Saint-Dook, which prompted Posner to see him in the first place. But as Posner spoke at a deposition, he had a revelation. I listened to him and I decided I determined that what he was saying was authentic and that I wanted to do what I could do to not contribute to the negative things that he's experiencing. He settled the case and now Fetzer is on the hook for a 450,000 dollar verdict. He was concerned and Posner says his work is just getting started. So is this fight crusading, mission you're on? Does it pick up your life immensely? This has become my life's work. This is your life's work. Yeah, that's what it's turned into. This is just so good. When you get something taken down, it feels right. Well, Lady Posner is also selling internet personality outlets Jones for defamation for spreading false information about the Sandy Hoax shooting. Jones's attorneys are using free speech arguments to try to get the case dismissed. The deficit that Posner says this is not about other people's free speech. It's about people like him and other victims' better freedom from harassment. Yes, Harry, I'm honest. Absolutely. Yes, he's considering what he's gone through. It's very sad that this has to be a slice of work. Yes. That he would now be subjected to that. It's how he is making progress. It's fascinating that it took a copyright situation to pull a video down when something that was toxic and hateful was allowed to stand. The tech companies don't know how to deal with grieving parents, but they do know how to deal with lawyers and the fear of lawsuits. It's that it works. It shouldn't have to have that. All right. I heard the
