The back-burning tactic is intended to deny approaching flames fuel so that the fire eventually can be contained. It grew by more than 300 acres over the weekend, according to the latest aerial infrared mapping.“In places where we can’t safely insert firefighters, we are backing off – areas where heavy trees have come down,” said Rick Barton, spokesman for the interagency team of 419 firefighters tasked with suppressing the fire.“You will see increased acreage in the...

Elon Musk threatens to sue researchers who documented the rise in hateful tweets

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 12:15:48 GMT

BY DAVID KLEPPER | Associated PressWASHINGTON  — X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has threatened to sue a group of independent researchers whose research documented an increase in hate speech on the site since it was purchased last year by Elon Musk.An attorney representing the social media site wrote to the Center for Countering Digital Hate on July 20 threatening legal action over the nonprofit’s research into hate speech and content moderation. The letter alleged that CCDH’s research publications seem intended “to harm Twitter’s business by driving advertisers away from the platform with incendiary claims.”Musk is a self-professed free speech absolutist who has welcomed back white supremacists and election deniers to the platform, which he renamed X earlier this month. But the billionaire has at times proven sensitive about critical speech directed at him or his companies.The center is a nonprofit with offices in the U.S. and United Kingdom. It regularly pu...

He was booked into Santa Rita Jail in Dublin on July 27 and remains there on a no-bail hold, court records show.The police investigation was based largely on phone reco...
