Alex jones booted from social media

You don't have first amendment rights on a social media platform. They have a terms of service, if you violate them you could be banned.
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, ... don't really differ from NT in that sense. Plenty of folks have been banned from NT for crossing the line when it comes to racism for example, which is unequivocally within NT's right.

Obviously there's inconsistent consequences (if any) for ToS violations on those social media platforms, otherwise they'd have to ban the US president and many more people in general than they do now. Frankly, Alex Jones should be happy he has been given so much time already on those social media platforms. He was violating their terms of service practically from the start.

people really dont understand exactly what the first amendment means
 
fighting for LGBTQ rights ≠ accusing sandy hook victims of being actors and harrassing their families
 
this ******* piece of trash is a despicable sub-human parasite. i can’t even imagine what those parents have gone through because of this idiot ON TOP OF their damn kids getting MURDERED. there is not one ounce of remorse or even a tiny degree of contrition. the fact that this scumbag could have such a gigantic audience is a horrible testament to the state of our country.
 
Is perjury in a civil trial something that tends to get prosecuted?
I can only speak for the courts in Washington, but yes. Lying under oath is taken very seriously. However it is uncommon for prosecutors to pursue a perjury charge unless the lie is particularly egregious and/or there is undeniable proof of the lie and the intention to lie (as it is generally hard to prove intentionality). You'll see it alot in family court, even if it's never prosecuted.

The perjury charge is a whole other trial and treated as a criminal proceeding separate from the civil trial and can end in heavy fines or jail time.
