Here's a question for #news #journalist types: Are news #Media liable for reporting factual statements which they know, or should have known, were false?
An infamous USA example: Dominion v #Fox, Fox was summarily judged to have made false statements, with only malice being yet in question, and just as opening statements began Murdoch settled, admitting guilt, and paying $787.5 USD millions.
But platforming liars, knowing they lie, is also #defamation.
Also wondering: how difficult is it to recompile the #Mastodon software to support >=1000 chars max per post instead of 500? And what are the compelling reasons for a Masto instance to continue to limit post length to 500?
Finally, is there a list of Masto instances revealing their max supported char size per post AND the built in emojis on that instance?
I'm still trying to figure what the difference is between a "niche site" and a "site" that doesn't try to be everything to everyone.
CNN is all about news. Are they a niche site?
Google is all about search. Are they a niche site?
Wikipedia isn't about anything specific - so I'm guessing they're NOT a niche site.
ScienceDaily is all about science. Are they a niche site?
#enquiringminds want to know, right?
Anyone got their finger on this #SEO thing who can explain "niche sites" to me without sounding like you just fell off the turnip truck?
Thanks.
