Pavel Jelic In recent days, it may seem that nothing else is happening in the world, except mass protests in the United States and warfare between Trump and Twitter (or other social networks). While we will take a (slight) break from the first mentioned topic in today's summary, we simply have to inform you about another curiosity in the Trump vs Twitter war. In addition, today's roundup will focus on the labeling of state-controlled media on Facebook and the fine Sony received.

Facebook will start flagging state-controlled media
The fact that some media, posts or campaigns on the Internet are controlled by various state institutions is clear to almost every one of us. Unfortunately, from time to time it is difficult to distinguish state-controlled media from traditional media that are not controlled by the state. Facebook decided to put order in this. The latter should soon begin to alert its users when they appear on the page of a media that is controlled by the state, or when they start reading a post from such a media. In addition, Facebook will also begin marking paid ads that will be related to this year's presidential election in the US - which will take place in November. It should be noted that all these designations will be visible globally and not only for residents of a specific state. It seems that order has finally started to take shape on social networks - this whole "cleaning" was started a few days ago by Twitter, which started flagging false information, for example, from the current president of the United States, Donald Trump.

Trump vs Twitter continues
In several previous summaries, we already informed you about the ongoing war between the current president of the United States, Donald Trump, and the social network Twitter. He recently started marking posts with false information and so-called "fake news" so that each user can easily distinguish between what is true and what is not. Of course, President Trump began to dislike this labeling and was not afraid to express his opinion on the new function of Twitter. The situation in the USA, connected with the death of George Floyd, does not need to be presented further. The current President of the United States, Donald Trump, shared a four-minute video on his two Twitter accounts, intended to support his re-election in this year's presidential elections, which discusses the current situation in the USA. However, this video has been removed from both the @TeamTrump and @TrumpWarRoom accounts due to copyright violations. A Twitter spokesperson commented on the deletion as follows: "Based on our copyright policy, we respond to valid complaints of copyright infringement sent to us by our own copyright owners or their authorized representatives."

Vratislav Holub Sony received a large fine
Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe was fined $2.4 million. Allegedly, this company violated consumer protection in Australia. The whole case concerns the return of money from the PlayStation Store online store. In dealing with consumers, Sony Europe was alleged to have made false and misleading decisions on its website several times. Specifically, customer support should have told at least four consumers that Sony is not required to refund a game purchased within 14 days of purchase. After that, at least one consumer was supposed to be partially satisfied - but he was supposed to get his money back only in the virtual currency of the PlayStation Store. Of course, this claim is not true, just take a look at the PlayStation Store's refund policy. In addition, this is a consumer right, so even if similar information was not found in Sony's documents, customers still have the right to a refund. When deciding, the judge should also have taken into account the case from 2019, when consumers had no guarantee of quality, functionality or accuracy for the games they purchased.
