Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Google’s AI Overview about MacIsaac now includes the statement: “In late 2025 and 2026, he made headlines for taking legal action against Google.”
lmao fuck off google.
Got mixed up with his brother: Canadian Diddler
Oh brother! I'm giving you the upvote, but I don't like it
A reluctant upvote is still an upvote. Thusly I thank you 🙏🏻
I upvoted without hesitation. That’s good commenting.
is it only the uk that calls child abusers kiddy fiddlers hence the lingual confusion?
I thought the UK called them nonces?
That too. We have loads of spare words for everything.
As a Dutchie I would not know for sure
Don't wanna be a Canadian diddler

Mixed him up with his brother, the fiddler

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the maple leaf nation
Where musicians are slanderd by the claaaaankers
🎵🎶🎻EPIC SOLO🎻🎶🎵
And when all of man was judged by a bot
Innocence became a thing of the past
Everyone was mixed up and noone was clean
There was nothing left to do…
Than to diddle the machine
🎶🎸🤖🍆
Now they will accuse random people, to draw attention away from the pedo in chief.
Satiation. If you say it enough it loses meaning, then becomes normalized to people, that’s part of the goal effect when they accuse others of what they’re doing.
Hm... I wonder if I can get Google's AI to commit defamation against me as well? I could use a nice payday.
Step 1 - Learn to play the fiddle Step 2 - Start raising baby goats Step 3 - ??? Step 4 - Profit!
Wait wait wait... what's step 3?
Step 3 is cha cha. Because 1 2 cha cha cha
Diddler fiddler, what's the difference
Fiddler on the bench.
Only $1.5 million? That's peanuts, especially to Google and especially for such heinous defamation. It should be for at least 100 million.
Internet companies have become way too used to hiding behind Section 230 of the Communications Act which allows them to say that anything on their sites was created by a user, not by them, and therefore they're not liable. This made sense when the Internet was just chronological forums and there was no way for the operator to know that something defamatory or illegal had been posted.
They've managed to maintain that fiction, even when hand-picking content they want to show. Now they have algorithms that scan all the content people post, even videos, decide which content is going to generate the most views, clicks and engagement, and choose to prioritize that content, even if it is illegal.
But, now, with AI, they're actually the ones generating that content. There's no user to hide behind anymore. Let's hope that the courts say that section 230 doesn't protect them here and that they're liable for all false claims made with AI, just as they'd be liable if it were an employee or the boss who posted it.
