work with on wednesday's front pages. the male leads with a&e in crisis as flu spikes. the guardian has dismay as fact checking ditched on facebook in free speech drive. there isn't dismay everywhere. the sun has rovers and out the eye has social media giants defy uk crackdown on online safety. the metro has sick tiktok click shock for labour. and finally, the daily star has how to survive a yeti attack. okay, let's have a closer look at those front pages, starting with wednesday's guardian, leo. >> so the guardian leads with dismay as fact checking ditched on facebook in free speech drive. >> but like you say, it's not dismay. it's amazing. we're going to have free speech, you know, like we have in free societies. of course, the guardian want all our speech to be policed like they have in the soviet union, which apparently is a model society. if you're a guardian journalist. but yeah, this is great. >> basically, mark zuckerberg is going to replace. >> by the way, fact checking, like the fact checking on comments isn't going away.
11:05 pm
they're going to let community notes replace it, which is a much better system. it's free. it's democratic. it's literally free. you don't have to pay anything for it, which might be part of the appeal. and the move is being seen as a pivot towards donald trump. so, you know, the community is going to police itself. we're going to let people say, you know, if a post is wrong, they can they can call it. >> so what that means then is that the fact checking community notes, people say, no, that's notes, people say, no, that's not right. leo's talking rubbish. this is what really happened. and if i'm right, then lots of people give me a thumbs up.and lots of people give me a thumbs up. and if i'm the one talking rubbish. >> yeah. i mean, it's never happened before. you know, it's. i've been found out to be not speaking the truth, but yeah, he's also going to move his content moderation teams, the ones that are left from california to texas. that's so funny. it's like. yeah. >> now, we're not saying they're too biased, but we're going to change states from these liberal cucks to these absolute chads. >> that's basically what he said. no more blue hair. we're going to have cowboy hats. yeah. so this is this is great. this is all good. i mean, it's it is a bit sort of duplicitous of
11:06 pm
zuckerberg to be doing this just because donald trump's been elected. but still donald trump's been elected. this is happening. it's brilliant. and also i think i think musk and zuckerberg, they're tech visionaries. so they look into the future. they see where a country is going and they don't like where the left was taking the country. and i think that's why musk is so involved in britain. now. he can see where, you know, the labour party. and i mean, to be honest, the establishment ideas about multiculturalism and open borders and all the rest of it, you can see where that's taking the country. so there's big change with the in the more in the shorter term. >> aren't we just all leaving facebook anyway? isn't this like market research? >> but also instagram is very, very much under the same meta handle. >> and that's a huge platform because nobody made him do this. this isn't legislation. he's just decided it's a good business. >> i think he's had a spiritual change of heart. he's now a fipped change of heart. he's now a ripped dude. he's like, he's like, he's like a cool guy now. he's a jiu jitsu guy. he's got long curly hair. for some reason. he's baggyt long curly hair. for some reason. he's baggy t shirts. he's not the dork we all knew and loved back. and then he's a
11:07 pm
new man. >> this is a serious point. as soon as you get testosterone in your system, as soon as you start lifting weights and, you know, taking care of yourself and being able to defend yourself, you stop being left wing because you don't need the government to come along and wipe your bottom for you. >> well, yeah, that's there's something in that, isn't there? >> yeah. and also, the left wing government's posed an existential threat to social media platforms. i mean, the online safety bill in the uk, for example, would have levied, you know, really just fines that could have destroyed entire social media companies. they would have been so big. it was like 10% of gross revenue, which is just ridiculous. >> i mean, that would have just crippled, but that could still be a problem in europe, couldn't it? i was listening to toby young earlier, talking about the fact that america's kind of first amendment free speech facing this is the online safety bill stuff. no, i'm talking just about regulating themselves. right. if we go around saying that social media platforms are responsible for their content in europe, that isn't the way america sees it. so that could cause some friction. >> i still don't think trump's just going to storm the normandy beaches again. he's going to take back europe. he's going to

make it free. it's going to be beautiful. you're going to love it. >> sounds great. okay. let's have a look at the metro, please. >> jonathan in the metro. sick tiktok click shock for labour a very very well written headline there. so party plug starmer with track boasting about sex, drugs and violence against girls, which does seem very on brand for labour, if i'm completely honest. so labour has apologised for launching a bizarre political promo on tiktok where they got a bunch of i animals. but the issue here is not the ai art, which sometimes can be cool. in not the ai art, which sometimes can b
