A judge has ruled media are liable for defamatory comments on their Facebook Pages. The decision hinges on suggestion *all* comments can be hidden & premoderated. THEY CAN NOT BE. I'll explain why not, how Fbk comments work… and tell you a secret about FB comments. A THREAD /1

One stat that puts the idea of AI search into context, based on a Bank of America-Merrill Lynch report: emerging AI platforms/sites, of which Perplexity and Claude are just the two largest, get the same amount of traffic in a day Google gets in 4 minutes 20 seconds

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing. The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

‘We’re going to come after people in the media’, a potential Trump pick for FBI director or attorney general has said. “We will stand up to these threats, but it will take brave, well-funded independent journalism,” writes editor-in-chief Katharine Viner theguardian.com/us-news/2024…

How the Guardian will stand up to four more years of Donald Trump

The president-elect has made his disdain for journalism clear. His second term is a risk to a free press in the United States and beyond. Help us to hold him to account

Reddit ranks #2 for "best air fryer" The top comment contains an affiliate link to Amazon (pointing to an out of stock product) from a Redditor who is - shocker - leaving comments with affiliate links all over Reddit. "Authentic human conversations" indeed.

Google's AI Overviews: 0 links to Retro Dodo, for a branded search. ChatGPT Search: 4 links to the company's own site, plus a link to its YouTube channel. Interesting turn of events today for small publishers. @iambrandonsalt

Google started testing #AIOverviews here in Sept, but I'd never seen one until last night. Turns out they're fully rolled out in Australia now (Google blog: blog.google/intl/en-au/compa… ) and pulling @GuardianAus content — but not our "news" content that I've seen (and shouldn't)
