Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch deposed in Smartmatic election lawsuit
Rupert Murdoch arrives at the Sun Valley Resort of the annual Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, on July 10, 2018. Rupert Murdoch is being deposed Tuesday as part of the $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit filed against Fox Corp. by the voting technology company Smartmatic, a source familiar with the matter told CNBC. It is the second time this year that Murdoch, 92, has been deposed in a high-stakes defamation lawsuit accusing Fox News of airing damaging lies about the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Under questioning in January as part of a similar defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems, Murdoch admitted that some Fox News hosts and personalities "endorsed" the false narrative that the election was stolen from then-President Donald Trump. Fox paid $787.5 million to settle Dominion's lawsuit, nearly half the $1.6 billion figure initially demanded by the voting company.

Mark Zuckerberg is having his Bill Gates moment
Sitting in a glass-walled conference room nicknamed The Aquarium, Mark Zuckerberg runs a cost/benefit analysis on the topic that has brought him headlines this year: Mixed martial arts.

Like Zuckerberg, he produced fans, enemies and antitrust concerns on his brusque, relentless way to the top.And then, in his 40s, Gates flipped the script. Then there’s “Cambridge Analytica or ‘evil Mark’,” he says, referring to the company’s data harvesting scandal.Which brings us to the Mark of today.

Meta served forbidden video content to followers of teen influencers on Instagram
An experiment has reportedly revealed Meta's algorithm has served up child-sexualizing reels to followers of teen and pre-teen influencers on Instagram. A new report from The Wall Street Journal has claimed Meta's algorithm for Instagram Reels served up questionable content to accounts that were exclusively following pre-teen and teen influencers on the platform. 2VIEW GALLERY - 2 IMAGESThe WSJ conducted an experiment by taking a group of accounts and exclusively following pre-teen and teen influencers. These types of ads aren't allowed on Meta's platforms, yet they were being served to accounts designed to simulate a typical child's account. It seems that Meta's content algorithm has now had the spotlight placed on it, which Meta has responded to - saying it "would pay for brand-safety auditing services to determine how often a company's ads appear beside content it considers unacceptable."
