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.
- The settlement followed a lawsuit filed by Smartmatic against OAN in 2021, alleging that the right-wing conspiracy network 'victimized' the company and spread lies about its role in the 2020 elections to boost viewership and revenue.
- OAN previously settled a defamation suit in September with former Dominion executive Eric Coomer, revealing collaboration with individuals to propagate falsehoods about the elections.
- While the Smartmatic case has concluded, OAN still faces another defamation lawsuit from Dominion regarding the dissemination of falsehoods about the 2020 elections.

Quick Glance: Amanda Knox Faces New Slander Trial in Italy
- The upcoming trial in Italy could remove the last legal stain against Amanda Knox, following her acquittal from the murder charge of her British roommate by Italy's highest court eight years ago.
- Knox has built a life in the US, working as an advocate, writer, podcaster, and producer, while advocating for criminal justice reform.
- Despite the 2015 definitive ruling by Italy's Cassation Court clearing Knox of guilt, doubts about her role linger, especially within Italy.
- In her upcoming trial, Knox is expected to testify, although her lawyer mentioned she will not be present in court on the opening day.

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.
