A new undercover reporter says the social media giant has censored the president s supporters for some time. Hi there thanks for joining us this is r. T. A coronavirus tracing that was rolled out in france has alerted just 14 users about their potential exposure that over the course of the last 3 weeks this is despite the country recording many new cases of the virus every day. Takes a closer look. Stop code it. Was supposed to be a bright idea that could help prevent a 2nd wave of infections and on your smartphone that uses bluetooth signals to keep track of the devices and therefore the people that you come into contact with when it was a few weeks ago the french digital minister said it could offer to a flying start as of this morning 600000 people managed to download the app so its a very very good start. Well after a few hiccups perhaps including a delayed release that so many people in france accidentally downloading good tracing up one for catalonia. Ok after a full start some 2000000 people actually did download it corowa you might think that given that there are an estimated 47000000 people in france with small phones thats barely a day in the ocean ok some 2000000 people die lou does it but almost immediately 460000 men decided that it wasnt a great idea and deleted it so weve got much on to the streets of paris to find out who took the plot. And the budget number 2 no no no no no no we do the thing. Yes somebody who is actually down loaded it but then she said this is it if yes i dont looted it but i didnt really understand how it worked every time i tried to use it nothing so wrong i was there is a true resistance to an up that was only supposed to keep you safe from the biggest threat the more world has ever apparently seen. I take precautions. Measures like a mosque but so i have a problem with giving my personal data if this application is for that reason i didnt download it mish fosco need to nap for the Younger Generation i wasnt interested in like younger people who move around a lot for their work. I didnt take the time to download it oh did you leave in a safe way for example i do could bike and stop taking the metro a see my friends but i dont need a lot of people i dont have the need to download it because its centralized ive mainly in. Truth really quite wary of what would be done with may data though and im not fond of the principle behind the up that issue of the personal data really had the french in much more civil rights activists were concerned about the right to the right to privacy while hundreds of academics voiced fears that they take out that could be we purpose for mars surveillance but perhaps they had nothing to worry about off there or was it since emerged that only iran 68. 00 people informed the platform that they had been infected with covert and only 14 uses were alerted that they were at risk thats not going down well with those we spoke with we serve its a bit of a food live yes i think that 14 is not many it was only 14 people who are informed. By shows its not as successful as hosts by the authorities i think that people were a bit wary about this exchange on the mobo would you continue to pay for something you dont use no i dont think so paying for something which is not used one should ask question. Clearly delete is the other thing that nobody was thinking the up would work anyway frances digital minister has been trying to save face saying the numbers were flecked a decrease in the viruss prevalence. And this is true the numbers of infections have been steadily declining in france said 30 says the law will be useful if theres a new spike in cases until then the french state looks set to pick up a bill of up to 120000. 00 jurors a month for an. Hour using. R. T. Meanwhile the us has seen a record daily increase in covert 900 cases reaching 40000 you factions on those figures revealed by Johns Hopkins university the previous high was in april with more than 36000 cases america still holds the record of the most global infections with almost 2 and a half 1000000 cases the latest searchers for several states including texas and florida to suspend their plans to reopen despite that President Trump says his country is coping well with the pandemic. And we have the greatest Testing Program in the world weve developed it over a period of time and were up to almost 30000000. 00 tests that means we can have more cases if we do want to test or if we didnt test we wouldnt have cases but we have cases because we test deaths are down we have one of the lowest mortality rates weve done an incredible historic. Well as he says the u. S. Has a considerably lower mortality rate the many European Countries however it is still the 9th highest death rate globally meanwhile the spike in new infections is considerable thats being put down to young people testing positive especially in states in the south and west of the country the way that the crisis has been handled in america has dealt a blow it seems to the countrys reputation in europe for example a new survey of 9 countries that shows 59 percent believe americas image has suffered during the pandemic only 6 percent think its improved we thought wed check it out and ask europeans for their views. They dont have such an effective medical system as others do plus the Social Security system in america differs from ours for the moment europe does better but it isnt united. For now i prefer to be friends. Then american the Good Health System and Health Care System so it makes it better and makes us happy to be in france right now. At the same time i cant really judge them. You can see french people partying in doing. Music festival and stuff so we are not better actually we cannot really compare. The new Group Everybody mostly reacted in the common way and with germany maybe suffer through this but comparing casual just in france italy with america i think that they have lower mortality rate per 1000000 than we have so its difficult to say. It was in the United States. I have managed coverage 19 poorly in fact it is enough to count the dead i believe that we have controlled and managed the epidemic better. Yet this is for me the been damaged in america was not taken seriously a person like trump has done nothing he was able to build a separation war with mexico i suppose he was also capable fighting this virus he could have done more but instead underestimated the situation or you would have raised i believe that we cannot judge the work done in the usa its a large country that has a different law from ours has different Economic Resources and a different population we too have made our mistakes. Speaking of europeans perception of america german chancellor Angela Merkel has called for a more independent and selfsufficient europe in defense matters and she questioned washingtons role in todays world we grew up in the certain knowledge that the United States wanted to be a world power should the us no wish to withdraw from that war of its own free will we would have to reflect on that very deeply. Michael statement comes in the wake of Donald Trumps decision to drastically scale down the number of u. S. Troops in germany the u. S. President accused perlin of failing to pay up an order to relocate some military personnel to poland and bring others. So germany is delinquent theyve been delinquent for years and they only nato billions of dollars and they have to pay it so were protecting germany and theyre delinquent that doesnt make sense so i said were going to bring down the soldier character 25000 soldiers. And theres another bone of contention between the 2 nato allies namely the stream to pipeline project if completed that would pump new levels of russian gas through the baltic sea to germany bypassing transit countries on thursday a group of u. S. Senators introduced legislation for Senate Review for tougher sanctions against those involved in the project claiming that it poses a threat to u. S. Interests and to European Security now reports suggest germany is preparing to strike back should any such sanctions be put into effect the scent of a soul if in germanys the left party told us berlin wont bow to u. S. Pressure on this occasion. Yes certainly many opportunities to respond forcefully and germany will not let us stop loss for you too because it is essential to german economic interests and so that i think that which is nearly finished by the way will not be stopped i agree with Angela Merkel that america is the cry and it is questionable how long it can really remade a world power in the way that it has been a global picture of one it appears how of the last well how a century and it isnt a development that could be positive for the world if germany were to take opportunity and poland use it your duty boundaries in europe and build on Corporation Cooperation for example with russia that can have real lasting security consequences for the continent we have to look at the other their actions because the United States has shown itself to be forceful destruction and if europe does not want to be in the way of this destruction and it wants to build up the continent again after this terrible. Economic consequences that call it 90. Then we have to find it from where. The wealth of facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has fallen by 7000000000. 00 as its share price tumbles after lucrative advertisers boycotted the network claiming it isnt doing enough to filter out hate speech but all trump has much to do with their fury but a new undercover report by project veritas suggests that the social media of johns been censoring supporters of the president for some time to claim the gray explains oh how the mighty have fallen ok maybe not fallen but facebook and other platforms that owned like instagram are getting hit where it hurts by an advertising boycott led by civil Rights Groups in the u. S. Every day. We see ads from companies placed adjacent to hateful content occupying the same space as extremist recruitment groups and harmful disinclination campaigns you add buying dollars being used by the kind from to increase its dominance in the industry at the expense of vulnerable and marginalized communities who are often targets of hate groups on facebook that started out small but as the days go by bigger and more powerful Companies Like ne and viber are dropping their ads and things really got kicked up a notch when verizon joined the fray a company that reportedly spent almost 2000000. 00 on advertising on the 2 platforms just last month now this is all a push in order to get the social media giant to increase moderation on its side could protect and support black uses could they called out Holocaust Denial as hate could they help gets out the vote but absolutely could but theyre actively choosing not to do so lets send facebook a powerful message your profits will never be worth promoting hate bigotry racism antisemitism and violence and a large number of facebook employees seem to agree with that just a couple weeks ago they conducted a virtual walkout after the us president wrote a post that was deemed by many to be inciting violence after the incidents occur burke said that the company would be reviewing its policies but also cautioned against new forms of moderation in general i worry that this approach has a risk of leading us to editorialize on content we dont like even if it doesnt violate our policies so i think we need to proceed very carefully and yet thats just the problem the Company Seems to have a new undercover report has once again revealed an anti trump left leaning bias at the company i worked as a subcontractor for facebook i was seeing them interfering on a global level in elections and then i saw a play an exception that just targeting conservatives or favored liberals we really came to take the words on the left side yes good and i have. For ourselves really its maybe one of the select their long political ads though so now they can get more exposure to the labs there is that right but facebook obviously gets to give a 100 percent believed to sidelining conservative opinions and meddling and elections crazy right so if you come as no surprise that the right isnt happy with social media giants either twitter royally ticked off trump when they put a label on a couple of his posts warning that they could be potentially misleading he responded with executive order to 30 the choices that twitter makes want to choose is to suppress d that blacklist shadow and our editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter seasons to be a neutral public platform and they become and theyre with a viewpoint and i think we can say that d about other source and whether youre looking to google whether you look at facebook social Media Companies that engage in censoring or any political content will not be able to keep their liability shield and now a number of users are calling it quits and link to platforms that call themselves on bias that remains to be seen but in light of all this something tells me that dr burke is ruing the day he ever even enter the thought of regulating content on a site all my name a fighting russian metal one of my greatest regrets in running the company is that we were slow in identifying the russian Information Operations in 2016 we were slow to identifying the type of new Information Operations ever since then the debate over whats moderation and what censorship has gotten more and more nuanced and guess what thats not going away the users just might. Extinction rebellion activists a bike this time the promoting shoplifting to fund poverty in the u. K. That story a moment after the. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only. Exist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical. To sit down and talk. Welcome back the Environmental ActionGroup Extinction Rebellion staged a dramatic comeback this week carried out a number of protests around the world including a shoplifting stunt against poverty in the u. K. Its been a while since Climate Change activists extinction or rebellion have been well making any headlines but on thursday they were back in the news after a seemingly provocative stunt that seems to be based on the old robin hood tale robbing from the rich to give to the poor in london 5 activists went shoplifting in a food shop although they targeted a Major Corporate chain rather than a smaller private business running out of the supermarket they then proceeded to give all of their bounty away in a protest against poverty they also slap stickers around the shops which were proclaimed things like new lower price free because poverty sucks news the infamous Marie Antoinette slogan let them eat cake with the word cake crosstown on their banners im not stealing food. Were changing the rules because. This is not against sainsburys but the profiteering of a basic human need the stunt also proclaimed the appearance of a new Political Party called u. K. Beyond politics and is aiming big 1st talk it next is marriage actions in london and they promise its just the start were seeing. There have been 20000. That. The Political Class to respond to the extinction of the human race this move into the world of Democratic Politics has surprised many people because extinction of a party and has always prided itself on being a direct action through print movement all about staging numerous acts of civil disobedience all across the world nevertheless they are widely accused of vandalism and promoting a populist agenda and all the while police in the u. K. Particularly have been quite cautious and worried about taking any action against them and they fear of violating their human rights to protest so what do the people on the streets of london make of this extinction or about in moving up in the world into a different category. You know if youre stealing from a shop and you know what is the very Robin Hood Esque but i dont think thats how it should be practiced its all by stealing doesnt set a good example how do both of them. Been a lot of put just to keep it away but at the same time. You dont really need to take. On. All that would turn to good what theyve done. But at the end of day no not they didnt pay for it and i think the concept is a good idea im all for you know taxing the rich or more in order to redistribute up funds you know more efficiently and fairly but to display theyre doing right but isnt the right way to go back to my. Ex are clearly have some big plans but they might have a way to go from sitting on the street to sitting in parliament shouted especially arty. Crowds gathered in the u. S. Capitol to again demand the removal of a memorial to Abraham Lincoln which shows a black american kneeling at lincolns feet protos to surrounded the area which already has a protective barrier around it older black americans reportedly argued to keep the statue in place as it marks an important chapter in history and can change the status of millions of slaves to free demonstrators also chased a trump supporter from the same protesters marched with black lives matter signed stunting can no justice no peace. You are the latest poll shows that almost half of americans see the black lives Matter Movement as very favorable or same number have the same views of the Police Become a target for the movement of the George Floyds death in Police Custody in minneapolis the polls carried out in swing states ahead of novembers president ial election show most see mistreatment of black americans as a worse problem than writing all this comes as the leader of the Greater New York black lives Matter Movement wants a system will be burned down if their demands are not met. Us president call that statement treason sedition insurrection but whole can you simply made the statement condemned by donald trump told us that the president should be worrying about solving the problem is that. What we saying in this in our education to give black people who better opportunities toward the future what are we saying defund of police a lot of people dont understand what the funding to police is good the money back into Community Organizations to take a rim of the the situations that cause a need for the Police People commit crimes out o. Poverty Mental Health issues and desperation lets attack poverty by providing opportunity lets provide social services to tackle the Mental Health aspect a lot of people have a problem with black lives matter and they say well what are your solutions we created an Organization Called black opportunities that addresses the solutions instead of donald trump putting a target on the backs of black laos matter he shouldve went to black opportunities dot com and took a long list and legislative agenda instead of looking at the manifestation of the problem he should be looking to the source of the problem and as the leader of this country he should be seeking to bring resolution to a problem that his plea this country for centuries we have such wealth of knowledge and instead of looking it out knowledge they want to look at us and i probe likeness in our revolutionary stances in dismiss everything that were saying and its counterproductive to the country why not listen to the people who are fighting the artist right.
