The European Commission’s investigation could result in “further enforcement steps” against X, not long after it levied a $140 million fine against the platform.“Sexual deepfakes of women and children are a violent, unacceptable form of degradation.

Aston Villa are the latest club to ’emerge’ as contenders to sign Fulham star Harry Wilson as the ‘door is open’, but this is probably not the reality… Mateus Mane, Igor Thiago, Dan Ballard, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Igor Thiago are among this season’s unexpected standout performers in the Premier League, though Wilson has arguably outshone each of these players. From reportedly being close to leaving Fulham for Leeds United in the summer, Wilson has re-established himself at Craven Cottage and has been Marco Silva’s best player this season. 28-year-old Wilson has already surpassed his previous record for goals in a…
