Actress Blake Lively accused of harassment
Content creator Lauren Neidigh, who posts under the username LethalLauren904 has sought a protective order against the former Gossip Girl star after the 37-year-old actress attempted to subpoena her as part of her legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni, who she is suing for sexual harassment and retaliation.
Lauren slammed the subpoenas that Blake's team had sent to Google and X in an attempt to gain information, even though the one against her had been dropped, Us Weekly reports.
The YouTuber claimed she had tried to speak to Blake's lawyers but they were "largely unresponsive" and could not explain why her banking information was relevant to the case.
She wrote in a letter to the judge: "[Lively's] Subpoena targeted creators who have expressed unfavourable opinions about her online. The Subpoena was not supported by any evidence.
"It served to intimidate, harass, chill constitutionally protected free speech, and threaten the safety and privacy of non-parties who are not involved in this litigation."
And though the Another Simple Favor star had dropped the subpoena, she left it open-ended, meaning it could still be reissued in the future, which Lauren argued placed "an undue burden on [her] and (served) to harass and intimidate [her] for her lawful expression of her unfavourable opinions of [Lively] online."
The content creator requested a protective order prohibiting Blake from issuing any further subpoenas for her information due to the "ongoing threat" of "further abusive discovery requests" down the line, which she argued were designed to "intimidate" her for her "lawful expression".
She also asked for sanctions.
The subpoenas had sought information on the accounts of several content creators, including financial detail on some of them, with Lauren, Kassidy O'Connell and others opposing the legal demands, insisting Blake had no authority to obtain their private information.
At the time, the actress' representative insisted the requests were not "accusations of wrongdoing" but simply "tools for gathering admissible evidence in federal court".

YouTube moves from laptops and phones to dominate TV
The headquarters of the world's No.1 source of video entertainment has none of the trappings of a Hollywood studio. There are no posters of popular shows, no writers pitching ideas, no soundstages and no tourists. But after pioneering video that we watch on our laptops and phones, YouTube is now the king of Hollywood's home turf: the TV. YouTube this year became the most-watched video provider on televisions in the US, and its lead has only grown, according to Nielsen data. People now watch YouTube on TV sets more than on their phones or any other device – an average of more than one billion hours each day. That is more viewing than Disney gets from its broadcast network, dozen-plus cable channels and three streaming services combined. In response, YouTube's influencers, producers and performers – collectively known as creators – are making longer, higher-quality videos that appeal to families and groups of friends watching in their living rooms. YouTube is also rapidly improving its TV app, adding new features to try to keep people watching its free videos longer. (Separately, it also sells YouTube TV, an $US83 ($128)-a-month bundle of channels akin to cable.) In true Silicon Valley style, the Google-owned company isn't just looking to extend its lead on TVs, but to dominate the future of entertainment. 'Our goal is for the YouTube app to be people's way into as much of the universe of video content that exists on the internet as can be,' says Christian Oestlian, YouTube's product manager for connected TV. One way the company is considering keeping people glued to YouTube on their TVs longer, he said, is through personally customised content feeds, like highlights from players on a fantasy football team. For most of the past 20 years since it was founded, YouTube was an alternative to television, a home for cheap, low-quality ephemera like how-to videos and skateboard tricks that Hollywood worried was distracting people from real entertainment. YouTube started as a website to watch videos on PCs. It made its way on to televisions in 2010, but the interface was clunky. By the 2020s, a generation that grew up watching internet videos alone on their phones and tablets began watching YouTube together in their living rooms and with their own children. It didn't hurt that as prices rose for Netflix and Disney+, YouTube has remained free. In the process, it became a media juggernaut. MoffettNathanson analysts estimate YouTube's revenue last year was $US54.2bn, which would make it No.2 among entertainment companies, behind only Disney. Now, even the smallest decisions YouTube executives make about how their apps are designed or how their algorithm recommends content can have seismic impacts on global pop culture. When Kurt Wilms became senior director of product for YouTube on televisions in 2018, the company's TV app was useful if you knew what you wanted to search for and watch. Since then, it has worked to make its TV app similar to the ones on phones, with an algorithm that recommends what to watch next, and the ability to subscribe and comment. The key differences: ad formats designed for the TV, a search engine that suggests content that looks best on a big screen, and the ability to navigate it all with a remote. A coming YouTube feature, called 'shows', can automatically queue the next episode on a channel, rather than serving whatever the recommendation algorithm thinks you'll like best from billions of options. That will let YouTube viewers for the first time watch full 'seasons' and pick up where they left off, as they are used to doing on Netflix. 'It's going to be great for the 'lean back' use case of YouTube,' Wilms says. Many young people viewing YouTube on their TVs are perfectly happy to watch amateurs play videogames, spout opinions and share every detail of their personal lives. But increasingly, they are also watching the type of shows that used to be found exclusively on broadcast or cable channels: sketch comedy, documentaries, animation and talk shows. The latter are disappearing from traditional networks, as evidenced by CBS's decision to cancel its Stephen Colbert late-night show. Good Mythical Morning, on YouTube, is a lot like an old-fashioned network talk show. Every weekday, hosts Rhett McLaughlin and Charles Lincoln Neal – known to their fans as Rhett and Link – joke around with each other and their crew, perform blind taste tests and take part in bizarre contests. What started nearly 20 years ago with the two friends working alone in North Carolina has grown into a channel with 19.3 million subscribers. While Los Angeles is bleeding jobs in traditional film and TV production, Rhett and Link employ some 100 people in a complex just outside the city that houses stages, a writers' room, a prop-making office and interns. During a recent taping, the youthful-looking 47-year-olds were preparing to taste food a crew member's grandmother had canned decades ago. 'There's only one item we know is definitely unsafe,' the director warned them. 'Otherwise, you guys can do your normal smell-lick situation.' Televisions became the most popular screen for people to watch Good Mythical Morning late last year and now account for 53 per cent of all viewing. The hosts say longtime fans have grown up watching the show alone in their childhood bedrooms and now watch with a partner or friends in their own living rooms. 'There's this phenomenon of, 'Oh, wait, there's the YouTube icon on this television I just mounted in my first apartment. I can do this here now',' Neal says. Similarly, viewership on TVs surpassed mobile late last year for popular YouTube interview show Hot Ones, on which celebrities such as Billie Eilish and Kevin Hart answer questions as they eat increasingly spicy chicken wings. Dhar Mann Studios says TVs became the most popular device for viewers of its inspirational videos for kids in early 2024, and about 54 per cent now watch that way. Research from Tubular Labs shows viewers on YouTube are spending substantially more time with long content – meaning more than 15 minutes – than two years ago, and they are doing it the most on televisions. YouTube producers are noticing and making longer videos, which keep audiences glued to their channel for longer stretches. It also helps producers earn more. Google typically shares 55 per cent of commercial revenue with creators, and the most valuable ads are often 'mid-rolls' that run part way through a video when a viewer has already committed time to watching and wants to finish. Longer videos have more mid-roll ads and make more money. 'There has been a deluge of interest in long-form YouTube content with creators,' says Andrew Graham, an agent at Hollywood's Creative Artists Agency who represents digital talent. 'Short-form content doesn't monetise nearly as well.' Comedian Quenlin Blackwell's videos were typically 10-30 minutes long just last year, and she made them with her best friends. Now her sketches, travelogues and cooking collaborations with online celebrities last an hour or longer and are made with 10-15 writers, camera operators and other professional collaborators. 'People's attention spans haven't been that bad,' Blackwell says. 'It's what we've been feeding them.' On YouTube, visibility relies entirely on Google's inscrutable algorithm. Executives say they have no interest in deciding what gets made for their service or how it gets promoted. In 2015, YouTube hired a former MTV executive to develop original series for paying subscribers, but the effort flopped. The most notable result was Cobra Kai, a Karate Kid follow-up that became a hit only after it moved to Netflix. Now, Hollywood-style content comes from partners that sell subscriptions to their streaming services inside the YouTube app. Those deals give companies such as Warner Bros Discovery and Paramount access to a large, young audience, but means their shows stream beside virtually anything. People who pay for HBO Max inside YouTube and search for The White Lotus might see the latest episode of the series, a fan breakdown of the season and a video from Thailand about flowers. YouTube leaves content decisions largely up to its independent creators. One of the few exceptions is sport, where the company is paying for the rights to stream games. Viewership in that category is up 45 per cent so far this year on YouTube. Executives say they want to be the home for fans leading up to a game, during it, and for clips afterward. YouTube has been the exclusive home of the NFL Sunday Ticket since 2023. It pays the sports league $US2bn annually and charges viewers between $US378 and $US480 a season. Now it is bringing games to its free, ad-supported service. YouTube bought the exclusive rights to soccer tournaments in Brazil, and in September it will stream an NFL game on its free platform for the first time – a sign Google believes it may be able to cover the hefty cost of sports rights through advertising alone. It has brought concepts created for Sunday Ticket such as 'multi-view' – in which people can watch several games at once – to the main app. And it's experimenting with features that take advantage of its army of sports influencers, including letting some announce games. '50 per cent of consumers have told us that they'd rather learn about a live event from a creator than actually watch the live event themselves,' Oestlian says. As the rest of Hollywood eyes YouTube enviously, elite creators have become a hot commodity. Analysts at Wells Fargo recently said that to compete for young audiences, Netflix should consider spending $US500m to persuade 20-30 creators from the top YouTube channels to switch. Popular YouTube creators have been open to making new shows for Hollywood streaming services, such as MrBeast's BeastGames on Amazon Prime Video, or to selling old episodes, such as Ms Rachel's kids' videos on Netflix. But they say there is no cheque big enough to persuade them to abandon YouTube channels they spent years creating. 'The opportunity isn't to try and defeat YouTube,' says Sean Atkins, chief executive of the Dhar Mann Studios YouTube channel. 'That game has already been won.' WSJ The Wall Street Journal The AI co-founder got the newly built Hollywood Hills home for a significant discount compared to the price the Australian developer originally wanted. The Wall Street Journal His trial has been marked by legal and judicial irregularities and raise serious questions about the right of due process.

Winners, speeches and upsets from this year's Logies
The 2025 Logie Awards are almost underway – and we'll be live blogging all the highlights (and lowlights) right here. Celebs are already walking the red carpet at The Star in Sydney ahead of the awards - check out all the best red carpet fashions here. The awards will culminate with the announcement of this year's Gold Logie winner. That's scheduled to happen by 11:15pm, but based on previous years, we can expect a winner announcement just after midnight. Yes, this award show is so long it often stretches into the next day. This year's Gold Logie nominees are an all-female field – except for one man, Hamish Blake, who has sheepishly admitted he feels like it's a bit of a 'stitch up' to be given the possibility of beating six women to the night's top prize. Blake's also won Gold before, as has fellow nominee Sonia Kruger, while Ally Langdon, Julia Morris, Lisa Millar, Lynne McGranger and Poh Ling Yeow would all be taking out Gold for the first time should any of them win. And it turns out, even Blake's own wife is betting against him... Originally published as Logie Awards 2025: Winners, speeches and upsets from this year's ceremony Zoe praying Hamish doesn't win Nick Bond How's this for support? Zoe Foster Blake shared a pre-Logies snap ahead of her husband Hamish's big night – and publicly wished he doesn't win the Gold tonight. 'I love my darling husband and very proud of his Gold Logie nom. THAT SAID, would also be delighted if one of the six women he's up against win cos it's their turn now and idk three Gold Logies feels like maybe too many?' she asked. Look… she's got a point.

Social media ban Australia: How new laws will work and how they could fail
Seven months later, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant challenged that description, sharing research with Wells in late June that said four in 10 young teenagers had been exposed to harmful content, such as eating-disorder videos, on YouTube. Loading That triggered an intense lobbying campaign by YouTube. The website's owner, Google, sent Wells a legal letter flagging it would consider High Court action, arguing the ban violated the implied constitutional right of freedom of political communication. There is a lot at stake for the company. Google reported $8.4 billion in gross revenue from Australia in 2022, the last year it made that figure available, giving it the motivation and resources to fight efforts to restrict access from new, young users to one of the company's key online services. Then Australian children's music royalty got involved. The Wiggles' chief executive Kate Chiodo visited Wells and attempted to appeal to her as a mother of three young children by arguing YouTube's inclusion in the ban would restrict access to kids' shows. Wells was not persuaded. 'I said to them, 'you're arguing that my four-year-old twins' right to a YouTube login is more important than the fact that four out of 10 of their peers will experience online harm on YouTube',' Wells said on Wednesday. Responding to this masthead's request for comment, the Wiggles linked to a Facebook post from Wells – made three years ago – showing a photo of her twin sons and captioned that she handled the parliament by having baby gates and 'The Wiggles on YouTube'. 'Video platforms like YouTube, when used to watch trusted children's programs, function differently to social media,' a Wiggles spokesperson said. 'Millions of Australian parents (including Minister Wells) and their children watch the Wiggles on YouTube much like they would on smart TVs, not as part of a social media feed.' YouTube said in a statement it was considering its legal options, and on Thursday Google cancelled a parliamentary concert (that Wells was intending to attend as communications minister) featuring rock band the Rubens. The company said it was out of respect for the grieving parents at Wednesday's press conference. Evans' anger at YouTube has never abated. Liv was 15 when she died by taking her own life after her battle with anorexia. A lover of cheerleading, animals, art and nature, her early childhood was full of fun and learning. Evans said he noticed a change in Liv when she was 13 and began using Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube. The browsing on YouTube began with cat videos, then cooking, to healthier recipes, then fitness tips, before it took a darker turn towards how to remain thin. 'She may not be recovered, but I think she would still be here if it weren't for YouTube,' Robb said. YouTube has argued there is substantial evidence that it is used regularly for educational purposes, citing a 2024 survey that found 84 per cent of teachers use the platform for lessons. Loading YouTube Australia and New Zealand public policy manager Rachel Lord said the survey revealed 85 per cent of children and 68 per cent of parents said the platform was appropriate for under 15s, in contrast to other social media companies. 'YouTube is not a social media platform; it is a video-sharing platform with a library of free, high-quality content, and TV screens are increasingly the most popular place to watch,' Lord said in June, following the eSafety commissioner's advice. But there is deep disagreement about how effective a social media ban will be in protecting young people. The government has handed responsibility for enforcement to tech platforms, with big fines if they do not comply. But anyone, including young children, will still be able to access services that do not require a login. This masthead conducted an experiment using both YouTube and TikTok without an account, scrolling through videos via a desktop with private browsing to avoid the companies relying on previous search history. YouTube delivered videos designed to trigger engagement that were a far cry from educational, but did not raise obvious red flags. On TikTok, however, in the first three minutes of scrolling, sexualised content, misogynistic messaging and videos themed around death appeared. None were explicitly pornographic or violent, and this masthead does not suggest the experiment was scientific or would be the same for every user. But the process indicates how internet platforms retain an incentive to show users troubling content to attract their attention even without a login. Platforms typically serve more videos to a user depending on the preferences they indicate. 'It is difficult to comment on your experiment without knowing the conditions or controls in place when it was conducted,' a TikTok spokeswoman said. 'Everything on TikTok is bound by our strict community guidelines regardless of whether someone is logged in or not. We proactively remove content that breaches those guidelines and, in fact, removed more than 926,000 videos in Australia in [the first quarter of] 2025 alone.' University of Sydney law professor Anne Twomey said the government's claim to parents that it had their back in protecting kids from social media was 'rubbish' because the ban has numerous carve-outs and exceptions, including for gaming and messaging. 'It is very unlikely all the children will be outside playing footy in the garden. It exempts, for example, online gaming, so if Jonny is shut away in his bedroom doing online gaming, he will keep doing that,' she said. 'There is nothing here that gets kids off their computers into the garden. 'Bullying will still happen by using messaging apps, it's not going to stop kids having their sleep disrupted, it doesn't do any of that.' Loading The legislation also does not explain to tech companies what constitutes 'reasonable steps' to prevent under 16s from accessing social media, Twomey said. 'That's a problem for the platforms to deal with because they are entering into the area of the unknown, which is unusual with laws,' she said. Facial estimation technology and ID verification are some of the ways being proposed to ensure children cannot access social media. Twomey said the government risks a backlash because the policy was sold to the Australian public as a way to take kids away from technology. 'You can still watch as many videos on as many harmful issues as you like,' she said. 'What the law means is you can't comment, can't like or dislike or upload your videos.' Macquarie University psychologist Danielle Einstein disagrees, arguing it will be like banning alcohol for children under 18, creating a cultural understanding that social media at a young age has potentially life-altering affects. 'At the basis of it all, it's their understanding of the risks and what their view of alcohol is, and that's what we need to do with social media, is we need to change everyone's view of social media.' Einstein – whose research played a role in driving the campaign from advocacy group 36 Months that the parents who stood with Albanese are linked to – said the new laws have already changed people's views on how technology should be a part of children's lives and the next step should be presenting a public health campaign to young people.
