"On Dit", or "on-dit": readers of Regency romances will be familiar with the term, from the French, loosely meaning "they say...." We might think of it as a non-legally protected disclaimer preceding some salacious gossip.
"Allegedly" is always safer.
On dit that a one does not have a first amendment right to express one's thoughtful views about a book on the Amazon platform.The ever-interesting Angela Hoy has the scoop on WritersWeekly.
One wonders, is that compatible with Safe Harbor and the DMCA?
Regarding copyright, someone somewhere is asking about copyright and photographs of current political figures.
One assumes that, since copyright belongs to the photographer, (or sometimes to Getty Images), one should seek out the photographer for a license. It is always possible that a photograph may be been released through Creative Commons, but one should not trust the internet because some sites accidentally or deliberately (on dit) crop inconvenient and unsightly copyright wording from an image.

Talking of "Orange Man", on dit that Survivorman Les Stroud is going after Bigfoot (who looks a lot like Chewbacca).
