Zelda Venter | Updated 3 hours ago WhatsApp messages are at the centre of a growing number of legal battles, and a casual chat can escalate into a defamation claim. This is the warning of legal expert Ann-Suhet Marx, Director and Head of Litigation at Gauteng-based law firm VDM Incorporated. According to her, screenshots, deleted messages, and voice notes are reshaping the country’s courtrooms. “WhatsApp has become South Africa’s most trusted communication tool — and one of its biggest legal blind spots. From neighbourhood disputes to workplace conflicts to high‑stakes business fallouts, WhatsApp messages are now at the centre of a growing number of legal battles.” Marx says she’s seen WhatsApp change from just a messaging platform to a digital “paper” trail, with real legal consequences in recent years, leaving the public “dangerously under‑informed”. “WhatsApp has become the modern witness, but unlike traditional documents, WhatsApp messages are fluid, editable, and easily manipulated. That creates both opportunity and risk — especially when reputations are on the line. Marx warns that under South African law, online defamation carries the same legal implications as statements made in print or broadcast media. For a claim to succeed, publication, defamation, wrongfulness, and intention or negligence

In 2011, I appeared on an RTÉ Radio documentary called #TwitteronTrial in which presenter Pat O’Mahony and a panel of Twitter afficionados tried to convince me of the worth of the four-year-old microblogging platform. On air, I sceptically set up a profile. In the succeeding months I learned its worth as a journalistic tool and proceeded to get addicted to its endless stream of breaking news, novelty and argument. Two weeks ago, I deactivated that profile. I hadn’t posted there in some time due to changes Elon Musk had made to the platform since 2022, but I would check in occasionally. I was, by this point, unsurprised by the racism, misogyny and homophobia on the platform but I was not expecting the huge number of non-consensual deep-faked porn images users were posting of any woman or child whose image could be found online. Twitter had, within years of its founding, re-engineered how global discourse worked. It was the place which helped foment the Arab Spring revolutions, where politicians and public figures made public announcements and where people went for a snapshot of current events. Within a year of Elon Musk’s purchase, it was a site riddled with bigotry where you

Aphex Twin is currently drawing more monthly YouTube listeners than Taylor Swift, according to official streaming numbers. READ MORE:   Aphex Twin at Printworks, London: still one of the greatest electronic shows on earth The Cornwall experimental producer is currently clocking a total of 448million monthly listeners on YouTube’s streaming service YouTube Music as of today (January 17), well out-performing pop superstar Swift, who is currently sitting on 399million monthly listeners. The numbers on YouTube Music are derived from a metric that includes activity across all parts of YouTube, encompassing audio streams on YouTube Music and music video streams on artists’ official pages on YouTube itself. Crucially, it also includes music consumed passively on YouTube Shorts and fan-generated content, and it is believed that this is how Aphex Twin has managed to rack up such huge numbers. Some, including DJ RamonPang, have observed that the widespread viral use of Aphex Twin’s 2001 track ‘QKThr’ on many videos in recent months (via  Resident Advisor ) is likely to have boosted the figures. In 2014, writer and artist David Rees released an Aphex Twin-Taylor Swift mashup album, titled ‘AphexSwift’. ““I actually think Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) and Taylor Swift have a lot in common besides their songwriting talents – or, at least, they

Ballymena United manager Oran Kearney concedes his side “nearly have too many players” and anticipates a number of January departures after Saturday’s 2-0 Premiership defeat to Dungannon Swifts. Here’s what Kearney had to say after the match: THOUGHTS ON THE MATCH? Ballymena United manager Oran Kearney. (Photo by Pacemaker) "Very frustrating, just very disappointing. "We're just, and I said it to the guys in there, it's a credit to Dungannon...I've been in that place before possibly in my time at Coleraine, where we're just opposites at the minute. "We come up against a side today that in the last three, four windows have had very few ins and very few outs. "A side like us have loads of players, loads of ins, loads of outs, loads of injuries, loads of stories, loads of people at different stages of trying to get fit or trying to whatever else, and a range of different bodies and everything, and we're just the polar opposite. "And that's just where we're at at this point in time, and I knew coming in we have a lot of work to do. "We've had signs, like the Coleraine game, we got a half against Cliftonville. I thought
