Quick Glance: OAN and Smartmatic Reach Settlement in Defamation Lawsuit
- Voting technology company Smartmatic and the far-right network One America News announced on Tuesday that they have agreed to a confidential settlement of a defamation lawsuit stemming from the outlet's lies about the 2020 presidential elections.

- OAN previously settled a defamation suit in September with former Dominion executive Eric Coomer, revealing collaboration with individuals to propagate falsehoods about the elections.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil
- A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.
- Under Musk's leadership, X has transformed into a sanctuary for the far right and dissemination of misinformation, resulting in an escalation of hate speech on the platform.
- Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.
- Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.
