    Murdoch trumps Trump.

    Prezzy T filed a $10 billion defamation suit against the Wall Street Journal after it published Trump’s birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein, but the judge just dismissed the case, saying Trump had “not plausibly alleged that the Defendants published the Article with actual malice.” (“Actual malice” here is a specific legal term that means publishing something you know is false.)

    Trump will have another chance to refile an amended complaint, so we’ll see if he tries again.

    It’s easy to fill a platform with content if you just steal it.

    The proliferation of automated podcast tools has reached a sadly inevitable outcome: WebinarTV is scraping open Zoom meeting links and turning call recordings into content for its platform without telling anyone.
