Couldn’t you find it in your hearts to call her a woman @BBCNews ?

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.

NEW: Billionaire Elon Musk has created a PAC collecting voter data from those living in key states through an online "register to vote" form that does not directly register people to vote.
All of this in an effort to help Donald Trump become president.

We are overjoyed that Vladimir Kara-Murza has been released as part of a prisoner swap. He is an extraordinarily brave and principled man, who recently won a Pulitzer Prize for his columns from the gulag.
He and his family have been through so much, simply because he told the truth about Putin’s Russia.
Our film will be updated to include this resolution as well as the inside story of the secret negotiations over the past two years.

And a final thought - professional journalists abide by the legal restrictions in play at times like this, but the general public don't know about them and bad faith actors don't care
It's a perfect storm for misinformation and it happens time and again.Something needs to change

We have an interview with the magnificent @Rushdibbc on Newshour at 1450GMT @bbcworldservice -- about that decision to leave Gaza; about swearing his family will not return; but that he will: "The 2.3 million people in Gaza -- somebody has to tell their story."

Pablo Picasso's artistic talent was obvious by the age of 15, but a family tragedy would haunt him for the rest of his life.
📺 Watch Picasso: The Beauty and the Beast on @BBCiPlayer.
Picasso: The Beauty and the Beast
His art changed the way we see the world - now change the way you see the artist. An unflinching look at Picasso's legacy, and the horror and brilliance of what he left behind.
