LET’S hope that the Government means it this time. Yesterday, Home Secretary Suella Braverman said she will ban police from recording trivial “non-crime hate incidents”. The whole concept, she said, was “Orwellian”. She added: “Non-crime hate incidents must not distract the police from their core duties, they should not be used to inhibit free speech.” Fine words, indeed.

Stacey Solomon poses with rarely-seen mother-in-law as she heads for lunch with husband Joe
STACEY Solomon has posed with her rarely-seen mother-in-law while heading for lunch with husband Joe Swash. The 33-year-old star looked fresh faced and was smiled from ear to ear as she stood next to Joe’s mum and sister. She penned: “All the mummas. We went to see Joes mummy and sisters in London.” Stacey donned a grey coat, top and white trousers for the outing and Joe’s mum Kiffy Swash held her granddaughter Belle, who was wrapped up warm in a fluffy coat. The family enjoyed a ‘mum’s lunch’ which saw all the kids joining in and the adult sat at the other end of the table and chatted away. TV star Stacey told fans she’d also been to see her own mum Fiona Solomon, but hadn’t shared a photo due to her mum not liking her picture taken.

Trial of 2016 Twitter Troll to Test Limits of Online Speech
The images appeared on Twitter in late 2016 just as the presidential campaign was entering its final stretch. Some featured the message “vote for Hillary” and the phrases “avoid the line” and “vote from home.” Aimed at Democratic voters, and sometimes singling out Black people, the messages were actually intended to help Donald J. Trump, not Hillary Clinton. The goal, federal prosecutors said, was to suppress votes for Ms. Clinton by persuading her supporters to falsely believe they could cast presidential ballots by text message. The misinformation campaign was carried out by a group of conspirators, prosecutors said, including a man in his 20s who called himself Ricky Vaughn. On Monday he will go on trial in Federal District Court in Brooklyn under his real name, Douglass Mackey, after being charged with conspiring to spread misinformation designed to deprive others of their right to vote. “The defendant exploited a social media platform to infringe one of the most basic and … [Read more...] about Trial of 2016 Twitter Troll to Test Limits of Online Speech
Twitter Troll Tricked 4,900 Democrats in Vote-by-Phone Scheme, U.S. Says
A man who was known as a far-right Twitter troll was arrested on Wednesday and charged with spreading disinformation online that tricked Democratic voters in 2016 into trying to cast their ballots by phone instead of going to the polls. Federal prosecutors accused Douglass Mackey, 31, of coordinating with co-conspirators to spread memes on Twitter falsely claiming that Hillary Clinton’s supporters could vote by sending a text message to a specific phone number. The co-conspirators were not named in the complaint, but one of them was Anthime Gionet, a far-right media personality known as “Baked Alaska,” who was arrested after participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to a person briefed on the investigation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. As a result of the misinformation campaign, prosecutors said, at least 4,900 unique phone numbers texted the number in a futile effort to cast votes for Mrs. Clinton. … [Read more...] about Twitter Troll Tricked 4,900 Democrats in Vote-by-Phone Scheme, U.S. Says
