Fox News: Wash Post columnist says Meta's new community notes fact-checking system 'nowhere near up to the task'
Washington Post columnist Geoffrey A. Fowler criticized Meta's community notes fact-checking system, claiming it is ineffective at combating misinformation on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. After four months of participation, Fowler found that only three of his 65 proposed notes were published, despite the prevalence of false information.
Fowler highlighted issues with the system, including technical problems and a conservative algorithm that makes it difficult to publish useful notes. Meta defended the program as still in its early stages and emphasized the need for a robust contributor community. They did not provide data on the system's effectiveness.
Fox News: Texas company creates drones to confront school shooters in seconds
A Texas company, Campus Guardian Angel, has developed a drone system aimed at enhancing school safety by responding to active shooter situations within seconds. The drones, stored in charging boxes on school premises, can be deployed remotely to incapacitate a shooter using powder pellets, potentially arriving on the scene faster than law enforcement.
The cost-effective system, priced at approximately $4 per student per month, has received support from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for pilot projects in several counties. The initiative aims to provide an additional layer of security for students during their K-12 education.

GB News: Landmark legal battle could force overhaul of 'woke' gender identity guidance in major shake-up
A legal challenge led by Freedom in the Arts (FITA) against the University of Leicester seeks to overturn gender identity guidance used by UK museums, claiming it promotes "activist ideology" and discriminates against those with gender-critical beliefs. FITA argues the guidance misrepresents the law and pressures institutions into potentially illegal policies.
FITA's report highlights a culture of fear among arts professionals who feel unable to express dissenting views on gender identity. The group insists on creating inclusive cultural spaces that respect all perspectives, urging the university to revise its guidance. The university is currently reviewing the legal correspondence.
