No corroboration on that. Suspicious. Further, what kind of news site doesn’t have any news on it’s homepage? Thoise .net addresses always make me wonder as well. I deleted my tweet of that scarticle.

Fact Check: Netflix CEO Was NOT Busted with 13,000 files of Child Pornography

(excerpt)

Did Netflix CEO Reed Hastings get busted by the FBI on child porn charges? No, that's not true: This claim was published by a known fake news website and there is no evidence from local, state, or federal law enforcement that Hastings was arrested.

In fact, Hastings was interviewed by CNN on Thursday -- when the raid of his Santa Cruz, California, home was purportedly happening -- and he has been active on Twitter in the days since. The details of the false story appear to have been stolen from a December 2019 article about the arrest of the CEO of a Utah company.

The claim originated in an article published by TorontoToday.net on September 12, 2020 titled "Netflix CEO gets BUSTED with 13,000 files of CHILD PORNOGRAPHY - Toronto Today" (archived here) which opened:

We report, you decide.

I'm not convinced by this 'fact check' rag that Toronto Daily is a 'fake news site'. The examples they list are not convincing.

Hey, I just thought of something.

Since we are the news now, we need our version of the New York Times, and our version of the National Enquirer.

Guess which one I am?
