It's the other way round - these are the people that were the source of the information and Lowles didn't admit he was wrong https://x.com/lowles_nick/status/1819974924842275237

To be fair some in the Muslim community still insist it did happen https://x.com/lowles_nick/status/1819974924842275237 https://x.com/Taj_Ali1/status/1819824011557167415 And the police statement doesn't say it didn't happen, just that it hadn't been reported...

The other aspect of this is the financial side, social media algorithms prioritise outrage and outrageous posts/videos because they drive engagement with the platform. These are then monetised, so the author is financially rewarded - some people are making a good living out of this.

Is that including the supplied battery ?

I was saying the person that made up the rumour could be guilty of stirring up racial hatred. It is the Police's job to investigate things, not just accept peoples' accounts at face value (especially if those previous accounts don't add up) https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Bernie_Spofforth

There are actually two tweets with the false information , worded slightly differently, she has claimed 1) That she got this information from "someone on the area" - I guess this would be pretty easy for the police to check 2) She then went on to claim that her source was another account on X...

Those two cases seem very different - this was from Cleveland Police https://www.cleveland.police.uk/news/cleveland/news/2024/august/statement-regarding-online-reports-of-attacks-in-middlesbrough/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Orlo You'd have to prove that it was false, and...

I think the legal difficulty trying to prosecute someone would be the test "the message conveys information that the person knows to be false;" Most people that post conspiracy theories believe them. I suppose, if someone was getting a good income from youtube spreading vaccine...

But there's plenty of covid/vaccine conspiracy theorists posting since that act was passed and none of them have been arrested or charged

She was charged with a different offence S181 which doesn't require that test. But if a high profile account made up and published false information that led to public disorder, I think a jury would be entitled to believe that the accused knew it was false

Which case ? - Julie Sweeney pleaded guilty under Section 181 of the Online Safety Act 2023, Section 181 creates a criminal offence of sending threatening communications. A person is guilty of this offence if they: 1. send a message; 2. conveying a threat of death or serious harm (serious...

So the prosecutors will build their case by looking at the pattern of "postings" from that account, asking where the information that was published came from, and why it was considered credible by the account that published it. I suspect this particular provision would only be used for very...

A very good decision !

The Chester woman was charged under Section 181 Online Safety Act 2023, sending threatening communications. She pleased guilty. This is a new act has not really been used before , and is quite wide ranging, and definitely there is a risk of it being over-used : Sending Threatening...

I noticed the range on my folder with KT controller and Woosh bag battery is much further than I expected - the 5 KT pas levels (and the fact level 4 is 50% max power ) allow you to adjust the assist level quite precisely and you tend to use the minimum power you need for any situation.

Can she turn the pedals with no resistance on them ? ("Ghost Pedalling")

There are some 7 speed 20" Dahon clones with mechanical disc brakes, alloy frame and steel forks for 12.5 -> 13 kg - add a 1.6 kg AKM hub motor , KT controller and 1.8 kg 36V 10Ah bag battery ( and @saneagle 's 11-32t sprocket ) they will weigh 16.5 kg to 17 kg and it is a very capable bike...

The freedom of expression guaranteed by the European Convention in Human Rights ? (that Reform want to leave) I can't remember the episode of Mr Bean where he calls for hotels full of asylum seekers to be burned to the ground but my memory might be failing me
