Frontline; This Sandy Hook Father Lives In Hiding Because of Conspiracy Theories Fueled By Alex Jones
"In 2018, Pozner took [Alex] Jones to court, as did other Sandy Hook parents.
“I simply had enough. And that was what needed to be done. I’m proud of bringing the lawsuit, [it] brought a lot more attention to who he really is, and what his show represents,” Pozner said.
Under oath, Jones would say that he suffered from a “form of psychosis” that made him think everything was staged. He would admit, “I’ve had a chance to believe that children died and it’s a tragedy…”
The lawsuit continues.
But for Pozner, Jones’ admission was enough. “As far as I’m concerned, I’ve already won,” he said. “Having Alex Jones admit under oath that Noah did die the way it was reported, in his school, that’s a victory for me. Having Alex Jones say that he was wrong, that it was a real tragedy — that is a victory.”"

A Notorious Sandy Hook Tormentor Is Arrested in Florida; The New York Times, January 27, 2020
Elizabeth Williamson, The New York Times;
Wolfgang
Halbig, who has falsely accused the families of shooting victims in
Newtown, Conn., of constructing an elaborate hoax, was charged with the
unlawful possession of personal identification.
"Mr.
Pozner has tried since 2014 to stop Mr. Halbig from targeting Sandy
Hook families and other victims of tragedy. In response, Mr. Halbig
posted online a 100-page TransUnion background report on Mr. Pozner,
which included his address and delicate personal information. Mr. Pozner
lives in hiding.
He added, “We have a long way to go, but this is a positive step in the right direction.”"

Sandy Hook father Lenny Pozner on death threats: ‘I never imagined I’d have to fight for my child’s legacy’; Guardian, May 2, 2017
Hadley Freeman, Guardian;
"Pozner realised quickly that there was no point in arguing with these hoaxers, so instead he attacks through copyright law. Every day, he Googles Noah’s name to see if anyone has put up a photo or video of his son without his permission and, if so, he files copyright claims. Thanks to Pozner’s dedication and experience as an IT consultant, he has scrubbed Noah’s search results of toxic-hoaxer content. He has sued other hoaxers for invasion of privacy, and successfully petitioned a Florida university to fire a professor, James Tracy, for hoaxing. (Tracy has sued for wrongful termination.) He also founded the HONR Network, which helps grieving families deal with online abuse, and it lobbies YouTube, Google and Facebook to stop hosting such abuse. "
