I mean air Canada had to uphold the deal their AI chat bot did on their behalf, so there is precedent for AI content to be considered official content from a corp.

In any other circumstances I'd expect this would be a clear cut #libel suit. Does #AI absolve #Google of all responsibility?

"A new #documentary, “Sapiro V. Ford: The #Jew Who Sued #HenryFord,” tells the story of #Jewish lawyer #AaronSapiro, who in the 1920s sued one of #America’s most famous #antisemites, industrialist Henry Ford, in U.S. District Court in downtown #Detroit.

The #libel #lawsuit led the #automaker to publicly apologize for his #antisemitic views and shut down his #newspaper, The #DearbornIndependent, which frequently published antisemitic material and attacked Sapiro, accusing him of being part of an international Jewish #conspiracy.

The #filmmakers describe the legal case as a milestone for American Jews and “the moment when #hatespeech went on #trial.” The case was framed as a battle of David and Goliath."

saying publicly that the people who were at school with are all liars is potentially expensive.
IANAL but he has enough money to be worth suing.

Here I am promoting [checks notes] the church times 😆

"THE making of a #documentary #film exploring the #history of the #Jewish #bloodlibel in #medieval #Norwich, and the cathedral’s involvement in perpetuating it, has led the Chapter to agree to remove 1990s information leaflets from the Chapel of the Holy Innocents.

The documents relate to the #murder in #1144 of 12-year-old William of Norwich, which was blamed on the Jewish community. The myth gained ground when a #Benedictine #monk, Thomas of Monmouth, accused the Jewish people of murdering #Christian boys so that they could use their blood in #ritual ceremonies. The #libel spread to #Europe, leading to the persecution and massacre of the Jewish people.

Modern versions of the myth have recently resurfaced in #Gaza."

If you have happened upon some outdated legal textbooks indicating that #DonaldJTrump might be able to use Scotland as a loophole and begin an action for #libel against #BBCNews in #Scotland, which would *really* annoy some Scots; note that the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973 was amended in 2021 by the Scottish Parliament to bring it into agreement with English and Welsh libel law. It's a 1 year limit in Scotland, now, too.

Here's the Limitation Act 1980 (as amended) if you want to cross-check #UKLaw.

Before 1996, the time limit on bringing actions for #libel would have been three years.

It has been suggested to me that #DonaldJTrump actually should sue #BBCNews.

Xe has no action under #USLaw. #Panorama was not broadcast there, and U.S.A. libel has an "actual malice" standard for public figures.

Under #UKLaw the 1 year time limit on actions for #libel has expired; xe has no evidence of harm; and any awards even if xe were to prevail would be tiny.

So, per #FordPrefect and #SiriusCybernetics in SLATFATF, "with a bit of luck the bill will bankrupt the bugger".

Trump threatens to sue BBC for $1 billion over Panorama speech edit
Samir Shah, the corporation’s chair, apologises for the ‘error of judgment’ — but goes on the defensive after Tim Davie’s resignation

President Trump has threatened to sue the BBC for $1 billion over a “doctored” speech as senior figures within the ­corporation remained defiant over the crisis.
The corporation’s chairman, Samir Shah, apologised on Monday for the ­“error of judgment” in a Panorama documentary which aired last year and has led to the resignation of Tim Davie, the director-general, and Deborah Turness, chief executive of news.
Shah said that there had been more than 500 complaints about the ­programme, which gave the impression that Trump made a “direct call for ­violent action” because two separate sections of his speech before the ­Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, were spliced together.

Brigitte Macron's never-ending fake news nightmare.

For four years, the absurd rumour that the French first lady is a man has continually spread.

The Macrons have taken legal action, both in France and in the US.
