Lol @ Dorset Echo, that famous multinational publication.

Also, I call shenanigans that Playbig can type out that whole passage without a single spelling or grammatical error. I suppose he is just the peon placing the fliers in his story though.

Ireland is gearing up to flex some muscles and ensure that video-sharing platforms — including Meta's Facebook and Instagram, ByteDance’s TikTok, Elon Musk's X and Google's YouTube — protect their users from hate speech and harmful videos online.

The country's new media and internet regulator, Coimisiún na Meán, on Monday published its long-awaited Online Safety Code, a set of binding rules that will soon apply to the many tech giants whose European headquarters are in Ireland.

The 10 designated platforms are Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Udemy, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, Tumblr and Reddit.

“The adoption of the Online Safety Code brings an end to the era of social media self-regulation,” Online Safety Commissioner Niamh Hodnett said in a statement.

It will also bring Ireland closer to full compliance with the European Union’s audiovisual law, which mandated such new policing and whose sluggish transposition by Dublin resulted in a €2.5 million fine from the EU’s top court in February.

What, this Ireland? The one where 800 dead babies were mysteriously found in a septic tank at the site of a former mother-and-baby home run by nuns and no one wants to ask exactly how all those dead babies got there? Because Irish journalists won't meaningfully address the question because the government wouldn't like it, so they all just go, 'Well, these things happen, 800 dead babies in a septic tank, quite normal, act of God probably'?

NEW YORK — A federal judge on Tuesday ordered Rudy Giuliani to turn over a lengthy list of property, including his Upper East Side apartment, to the two former Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation verdict last year against the former New York City mayor.

...because while you are free to speech away....your words may have consequences!

I feel confident stating that mass manipulation and propaganda campaigns across all forms of media was the main driving factor in this election. I don't think a single Republican could accurately detail their own sides agenda, let alone what the Dems want. It would be complete nonsense.

Elon Musk went on the biggest podcast in the world and they traded conspiracy theories and lies like facts for 2 hours straight. Two of the most powerful men in the whole world just yucking it up over literally made up bullshit and presenting it as fact.

Doesn't seem like a good situation and I don't see the solution.

If anything belongs in the free speech thread, it's Patrice O'Neal arguing with Sean Hannity and Marc Lamont Hill about Don Imus being fired from CBS.
