Six wild revelations from the Fox News defamation case

Having emails and texts revealed in court — and thus available to prying public eyes — is a nightmare for any company. Fox News is living through that horror now after Dominion Voting Systems on Thursday filed a motion for summary judgment against the network, laying out dozens of internal communications that were sent during the months following the 2020 presidential election.

The filing in Delaware court is part of the Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation case that accuses Rupert Murdoch’s network of knowingly promoting former President Trump’s false claims of election fraud, which included a disproved theory that the company

Social media law: What effect will new legislation have on social media platforms?

Often the rights of the individual are in direct opposition to the rights of the public. This issue was recently explored in the blog about Australian Prison surveillance. The further we delve into the question of what’s right, the more confusing this becomes, as what might be right legally may not be right from a freedom of speech perspective.

A strong Full Bench of the Federal Court of Australia has ruled that DABUS, an artificial intelligence, is not an inventor for the purposes of patent law.
