Australia could soon make life difficult for internet trolls — if at a significant cost. Reutersreports Prime Minister Scott Morrison has unveiled plans for legislation that, in some cases, could force social networks to reveal the identities of trolls and others making defamatory comments. A complaint mechanism would require online platforms to take these hostile posts down. If they don’t, the court system could order a given site to provide details of the offending poster.
Morrison likened the current internet to a “Wild West” where anonymous attackers could “harm people.” If that can’t happen in real life, there’s “no case” for it happening online, the Prime Minister said.
The proposed laws come weeks after Australia’s High Court ruled media companies could be held liable for comments on Facebook posts. CNNlimited access to its Facebook pages in the country over those liability concerns. The intended legislation would take this a step further by mandating certain actions if a post is deemed harmful.
The move raises privacy questions. Anonymity might help trolls, but it also protects political dissenters and other innocuous critics — will Australia make sure any identity disclosure laws aren’t used to discourage challenges to authority, as they are in China? And without examples of the legislation, it’s unclear just what would constitute an offense serious enough to warrant revealing an identity.

Like to shift gears? Here are some vehicles you can still get with a manual transmission
Posted in: Today's ChiliYears back, it was easy to find vehicles with manual transmissions. Most models had a budget-friendly manual-transmission option that many people chose for fuel economy. In modern times, automatic transmissions are more fuel-efficient, and people who know how to drive a manual and choose that type of transmission are declining. You might think that only sports cars aimed at enthusiasts … Continue reading

61 Passengers On 2 Flights From South Africa To Netherlands Tested Positive For COVID-19
Posted in: Today's ChiliBlack Friday online sales tend to climb ever higher each year as people grow comfortable with shopping from home, but not this time around. Adobe estimates combined Black Friday and Thanksgiving Day internet sales saw their first ever overall year-over-year decline in 2021, dipping from $9 billion in 2020 to $8.9 billion. That’s not a calamitous drop, but Adobe saw it as a sign of shifting trends.
The tech firm believed the dip reflected a shift toward earlier shopping as buyers took advantage of internet deals starting as early as October. Why cram your shopping into a single day when you can take advantage of discounts weeks in advance? While Adobe expected more spending on Cyber Monday (between $10.2 billion to $11.3 billion), its data suggested the buying frenzy just wasn’t as strong this year.
The products people were buying changed as the weekend progressed. Black Friday sales were dominated by Instant Pots, air fryers and toys, but Saturday sales were led by tech that included AirPods, entry-level iPads, the Meta Quest 2 and TVs from the likes of Samsung, TCL and Vizio. Game sales included Just Dance 2022 and last year’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Adobe also noticed that more people were comfortable making the final purchase from their phones. While some Black Friday shoppers were merely browsing on their phones before buying at a computer (62.2 percent of all visits were from handsets), mobile purchases represented 44.4 percent of all online Black Friday sales, a 10.6 percent jump versus 2020. Don’t be surprised if many people never touch a computer for their holiday shopping in the years ahead.
