Posting something as @realalexjones, especially when it was his account in the past, is akin to saying "Alex Jones said X," which is fine if he actually said it. If he didn't, it's libel.


Twitter handles, as well as display names, can be changed. (Not that posting from the account is the only use of the information it contains in the first place.)
