someone made a fake bbc news story saying jess has an iq of 36
and the tweet got purged soon after
Lmao
and the bbc said 'we'll pass this on to our lawyers'
Oh no let’s worry
if you scroll up the tweet is still embedded in here
but if you go to the tweet it's deleted
Lol is the guy gonna get sued or something
If Jess' iq is 36, is Diane Abbot's iq a single digit? <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
I mean the guy did it as a joke but clearly didn’t he
Everyone knows her iq isn’t actually 36t
That’s way too generous
what is this tosh
<:thunk:462282216467333140>
Depends where in the world the person who made the tweet was
In America that would be valid satire
I'm not sure here if it is
tbh it looked exactly like the bbc website, not surprised they're going to get fucked for it
that kind of thing happens *all the time* they just did it to someone that is going to elevate it
and yes it's a bit worse because it's pretending to be the BBC
No free speech then
No one unironically believes a human has 36 iq
Its clear satire
I don't believe satire is needing to not look like the original iirc
I think as long as you don't link back and make it appear to be a normal article by linking it back to the bbc then you're fine
again, iirc
I think there was something that happened with the NYT or TWP in the past year
I'm not sure about it tbh
@wacka how has your Owen Jones is a Wanker Day been?
Seems like defamation or something
Fact check me please, i'm not 100% sure either
Not sure if satire can classify as defam
Of course
But if it appears as an exact BBC article then does it fall under satire?
Under uk law? Not sure
but under US law, I'm pretty sure yes
This works too well
