"I’m sorry. This is going to be difficult to say with a straight face."

Jake Tapper can't help but laugh at Fox News' statement after reaching a $787 million settlement with Dominion.

[Semafor @semafor]

“Dominion’s litigation exposed some of the misconduct and damage caused by Fox’s disinformation campaign. Smartmatic will expose the rest," Smartmatic lawyer Erik Connolly told Semafor

For @opendemocracyru I picked some of the best newsletters out there on Russia's war, its fallout, and the wider region.

New: For months, Twitter has maintained a list of VIP users, including LeBron James, Glenn Greenwald, Ben Shapiro, AOC, and Marc Andreessen, that it monitors and gives increased visibility to on the platform. 1/ https://t.co/PnXhb6dvth

[Ciarán O'Connor @ciaranoconnor]

YouTube Super Chats are being used (again) to monetise comments promoting hatred and calling for violence and acts of harm. YT retain about 30% of every comment. Good work from @fro_ire.

@sterion75 One less ru mouthpiece around, cheers

[POLITICOEurope @POLITICOEurope]

Twitter's new owner Elon Musk appears to have been invited to testify in the European Parliament.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has sent a letter to the tech billionaire asking him to come to Brussels for a "frank exchange in public".

[Karbon @KarbonSays]

Holy Shit. Elon Musk just popped into a Twitter Spaces chat with a bunch of journalists. He was called out by journalist Drew Harrell, who he banned, for lying about posting links to his private information, then leaves almost immediately after being pressed. Here is the exchange

[Kat Tenbarge is on Bluesky @kattenbarge]

Just to be clear: a huge number of people will actively cheer for the most powerful individuals on the planet to censor those who inform the public about what the powerful do.

[Radu Iacob @is_radu_]

Absolutely disgusting.

If ever was a shroud of doubt about Musk's intention with this platform, this decision made things very clear: he's completely unhinged

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Twitter has suspended the accounts of roughly half a dozen journalists, the latest change by the social media service under Elon Musk. https://t.co/nVTiq5Fe6X

TikTok has the gall to call itself an 'entertainment platform'.
Yeah, sure. So very entertaining since the very first minutes you join the app, it seems

[Radu Iacob @is_radu_]

Well worth the 44 billions if you ask me and those thousands of employees that were fired or left before the proverbial fan is hit with... well, this

[Norway MFA @NorwayMFA]

Dear @TwitterSupport, as much as we enjoy our excellent bilateral relations and close alphabetical vicinity with Nigeria, we would much appreciate if you could label us as Norway😉

P.S. That also goes for Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore and Foreign Minister @AHuitfeldt 🇳🇴

I'm baffled by the stance Macron still insists on displaying when talking about the war in Ukraine.

Stéphane is right, where's the concern for the victim in all of this?

[Stéphane Siohan @stefsiohan]

Selon E. Macron, la nouvelle architecture de sécurité en Europe devra "fournir des garanties à la #Russie". Et si on se souciait d'abord de fournir des garanties de sécurité à l'Ukraine, qui est peut-être celle qui en a le plus besoin dans l'histoire ?
