The plaintiff was granted anonymity throughout the proceedings. Google has been ordered not to disclose any identifiable information about him in connection to the case for 45 days. The tech company must also remove all links to the defamatory post in search results viewable in Quebec. […] Instead of compensatory and punitive damages originally sought — amounting to $6 million — the man was awarded $500,000 for moral injuries caused after successfully arguing that he lost business deals and suffered strains on his personal relationships due to being wrongly stigmatized as a pedophile. Hussain described the plaintiff’s experience battling Google to preserve his reputation as a “waking nightmare.” Due to Google’s refusals to remove the defamatory posts, the man “found himself helpless in a surreal and excruciating contemporary online ecosystem as he lived through a dark odyssey to have the Defamatory Post removed from public circulation,” Hussain wrote. The plaintiff, now in his early 70s, has the option to appeal the judge’s order that Google may not release any of his identifiable information for 45 days.

Someone check in on Linktree because it might soon be obsolete.
Instagram users can now add up to five links in their profile bios, a massive increase from the previous one single link, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced via his Broadcast Channel on Tuesday. Instagram has been testing the tool for some time now.
The feature is available for all accounts, including business and creators, but you’ll need to update your app to ensure you have access. You can add multiple links to your profile the same way you add a single one: Go to Edit profile, then navigate to Links, then Add external link. You’ll be able to organize the links by dragging and dropping them in the order you want them to appear.
Previously, if you wanted to post a link to your personal website, your Twitter account, and your Facebook profile, you’d have to corral them all using a third-party app, like Linktree, and post that link in your bio. Now, you can do it all directly from the photo-sharing app. This has been a feature creators have been requesting for some time and it’s a rare case of Instagram adding a tool that doesn’t copy from one of its competitors. In a post, Zuckerberg said it was “probably one of the most requested features we’ve had.”
Lately, it seems like Instagram is adding a new feature or tool every couple of days. Most recently, the Meta-owned platform released the ability for creators to see the top trending songs, hashtags, and topics on Reels, along with analytics for how many times the audio or hashtag has been used.
In a reversal of a limitation the platform put in place earlier in the week, Twitter is once again allowing users to interact with Substack links freely. At least for the time being, you can retweet, reply to and like posts that feature a link to a Substack newsletter. The platform also won’t issue a safety warning if you click those links. However, as of the writing of this article, searching for “substack” still produces results involving the word “newsletter.”
“We’re glad to see that the suppression of Substack publications on Twitter appears to be over,” Substack tweeted late Saturday evening. “This is the right move for writers, who deserve the freedom to share their work.”

Twitter began throttling Substack links mere days after the company announced Substack Notes, a feature that adds a Twitter-like feed to the newsletter platform. When Elon Musk eventually addressed the situation, he claimed Substack was “trying to download a massive portion of the Twitter database to bootstrap their Twitter clone,” an assertion Chris Best, the CEO of Substrack, strongly denied. “None of this is true,” he said in a Notes post shared with The Verge. “This is very frustrating. It’s one thing to mess with Substack, but quite another to treat writers this way.” Among other outcomes, Musk’s decision to limit access to Substack led to a feud with Matt Taibbi, the journalist who worked on the so-called “Twitter Files.” On Friday afternoon, Taibbi said he was quitting Twitter over the restrictions.
For it is worth, this week’s episode doesn’t seem to have convinced Substack to alter its plans around Notes. “We look forward to making Substack Notes available soon,” the company said. “But we expect it to be a new kind of place within a subscription network, not a replacement for existing social networks.”
