YouTube no eliminará contenido que afirme falsamente sobre fraude en las elecciones de 2020 en EEUU

YouTube dejará de eliminar contenido que afirme falsamente que las elecciones de 2020 u otras elecciones presidenciales anteriores de EEUU se vieron empañadas por “fraudes, errores o fallas generalizados”, anunció la plataforma el viernes.El cambio es un revés para el servicio de video propiedad de Google, que dijo un mes después de las elecciones de 2020 que comenzaría a eliminar las nuevas publicaciones que afirmaban falsamente que hubo fraude electoral generalizado o que los errores cambiaron el resultado.YouTube dijo en una publicación de blog que la política actualizada era un intento de proteger la capacidad de “debatir abiertamente ideas políticas, incluso aquellas que son controvertidas o se basan en suposiciones refutadas”.“En el entorno actual, descubrimos que si bien la eliminación de este contenido frena parte de la información errónea, también podría tener el efecto no deseado de restringir el discurso político sin reducir significativamente el riesgo de vio...

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 06:45:36 GMT

By DAVID BAUDER (AP Media Writer)NEW YORK (AP) — Chuck Todd said on Sunday that he’ll be leaving “Meet the Press” after a tumultuous near-decade of moderating the NBC political panel show, to be replaced in the coming months by Kristen Welker.Todd, 51, told viewers that “I’ve watched too many friends and family let work consume them before it was too late” and that he’d promised his family he wouldn’t do that.Todd has often been an online punching bag for critics, including Donald Trump, during a polarized time, and there were rumors that his time at the show would be short when its executive producer was reassigned at the end of last summer, but NBC gave no indication this was anything other than Todd’s decision. It’s unclear when Todd’s last show will be, but he told viewers that this would be his final summer.“I leave feeling concerned about this moment in history but reassured by the standards we’...

Hungary has also delayed its approval, but the reasons why haven’t been made publicly clear.“President Erdogan and I agreed today that the permanent joint mechanism should meet again in the week starting on ...

Yankees rave about another ridiculous Aaron Judge catch: ‘What a blessing to have him on my team’

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 06:45:36 GMT

LOS ANGELES — With the Yankees up, 5-3, and a runner on first in the eighth inning, the Dodgers’ J.D. Martinez ripped a Michael King sinker to right field on Saturday.The ball looked destined for a hit against the wall at Dodger Stadium, but a racing Aaron Judge tracked it down — and then crashed into the barrier that doubled as the door to the Yankees’ bullpen. Judge stumbled through the gate as it flew open, but he kept control of the ball and prevented momentum from shifting in what became a 6-3 win for the Yankees.“I thought I had a chance off the bat,” Judge, who also homered, said after the game. “But you never know, especially with a guy like J.D. Martinez, who has such great power to the opposite field. I knew it was going to be close to the wall there, but luckily, we were able to come down with it.”Max Muncy, the runner on first, moved up an extra base because the Yankees captain left the field of play through no fault of his...
