Before the change, the laws would have specifically named Facebook and Google, making them negotiate with all news publishers. Facebook has since refused to deal with some significant news organisations including  SBS and The Conversation.In April smaller publishers, including Broadsheet, Australian Jewish News and Australian Chinese Daily, froze the publication of news on their platforms for 24 hours, urging readers to email Mr Frydenberg about the lack of accountability from Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, to negotiate with independent publishers.The Wall Street Journal article showed Facebook documents and testimony filed to authorities by whistleblowers that make it clear Facebook had planned to cause chaos, at a time when the government was attempting to get information out about COVID-19 vaccination plans.They also showed that Facebook employees were ignored when they raised concerns with management that services such as the Children’s Cancer Institute, Doctors Without Borders and fire and rescue services, were taken down without notice.“The code we are responding to is extremely broad,  » Read More

Tourists flock to Venice for its architecture and waterways. Pedro Szekely via Flickr under CC BY-SA 2.0 Tourists flock to Venice for its historic architecture and beautiful waterways. But starting next year, they’ll pay for the privilege, Venice officials recently announced. The bridge-rich city—one of the world’s top tourist destinations—is instituting the charge as part of a pilot program designed to better manage its annual summer surge of travelers. Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro announced the program—first approved by the Italian government in 2018—on Twitter. The fee is “ ... the right path to take for a more balanced management of tourism,” he wrote, per Google Translate. “We will be the first in the world this difficult experiment.” The first-of-its-kind attempt at crowd control will launch in June, and the official program will go live in January 2023, the Guardian’s Angela Giuffrida reports. The pilot program, voluntary for now, is aimed at helping the city better understand how to set entry fees.  » Read More

It's been more than a year since the page was first taken down. Now, it's back, but the Dunedin Fine Art Center can't use it. DUNEDIN, Fla. — Editor's note: The video above is from a previous story. The local David vs. Goliath saga continued this week with more questions than answers as Facebook continued to prevent a Tampa Bay area arts center from posting anything to its own account. 10 Tampa Bay previously told readers about how Facebook, in April 2021, had banned the Dunedin Fine Art Center for posting an artist's award-winning photograph that featured a nude female model's chest. Ken Hannon, the arts center's vice president and COO, has spent more than a year trying to get out of "Facebook Jail," as he puts it, over that one image. There was no advanced warning. Just a total ban. In fact, it was only about a minute after Hannon first posted the photo in question that he received a seemingly-automated notice saying the post had run afoul of Facebook's Community Standards.  » Read More

The gambling community earned a rare, collective victory on Monday when Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers announced that DeAndre Jordan was going to start Game 1 of their series against the Miami Heat. The Heat were favored by just three points in the first quarter of Game 1, but Jordan's presence insured a lopsided opening frame. Why? Because late-stage DeAndre Jordan has built up a remarkable track record of dragging his teams down.Among players to have played at least 225 minutes, Jordan has astonishingly had the worst net rating on each of his last three teams. In all three cases, the decline was rather drastic.The 2021-22 76ers had a plus-2.8 net rating for the season as a whole, but a minus-7.7 net rating during Jordan's minutes.The 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers had a minus-2.9 net rating for the season as a whole, but fell all the way to minus-12.3 with Jordan on the floor.The 2020-21 Brooklyn Nets outscored their opponents by 4.2 points per 100 possessions for the season,  » Read More

Stand up for the facts! Our only agenda is to publish the truth so you can be an informed participant in democracy. We need your help. More Info I would like to contribute Current White House doctor did not call for Biden’s resignation If Your Time is short • The current White House physician gave President Joe Biden a full medical evaluation in November and said he is fit to carry out his duties. • A former White House physician who has never been Biden’s physician — and is now a Republican member of Congress — has called for Biden’s resignation, saying he has declined cognitively.  Misinformers frequently share video clips of President Joe Biden with his actions or comments taken out of context — implying that he shakes hands with thin air, or portraying him as confused. Now, a social media post falsely suggests someone with official access to Biden’s medical information is calling for him to resign. "White House physician demands Biden’s immediate resignation following his ‘obvious’ cognitive decline," says an April 30 post on Facebook.   » Read More
