We know that there is no counterterrorism justification for you for forcing we were muslims to eat pork during ramadan or destroying a Muslim Cemetery theres no Poverty Alleviation guff occasion for forced sterilization or taking children away from their parents to be we had to be educated in state run boarding schools. I know i know that the Chinese Government authorities tried to convince the leaders to look away when you hear these arguments i just ask you to do this search your hearts. Look at the facts listen to the tales of the survivors and of their families and. To Sarah Jessica washington and the forest jessica what prompted these comments by the secretary of state and whats been the reaction. Well the secretary of state just wrapped up a meeting with into the asias largest Islamic Organization the youth wing of that organization and there he spoke to them and told them that he believes indonesia is a model for the world of religious pluralism and shows how different religions can live in harmony and he used the example of what is happening in chinas northwest as the greatest threats to religious freedom and he urged this group of moderate muslims to consider what is happening to the weak ethnic minority in chinas northwest and he did say that he acknowledges that beijing has made efforts to attempt to describe what is happening in engine john as counterterrorism efforts all reeducation efforts but he also to seriously consider whether this is in fact true now for the most part old though indonesia is the Worlds Largest muslim majority country human rights abuses against the weak ethnic minority dont really get that much attention and thats clearly something that secretary of state might pump aoe is trying to change and what else is the secretary of state doing that anybodys here and elsewhere in the region. So this is part of the secretary of state my compares very brief trip through asia to india. And now indonesia and he did meet with president joke over dodo and the foreign minister here in indonesia and this is part of the u. S. Efforts to try to contain some of that chinese influence here in this region but indonesia has a long history of having a nonaligned Foreign Policy what that means is that indonesia tries to have positive relations with both china and the u. S. Now the u. S. Is warning against chinese influence and also warning against chinas what it sees as chinas a more full of d. V. D. s in the South China Sea what indonesia has always said the same thing with regards to the South China Sea it doesnt often specifically name beijing as being behind on move like t. V. s but rather it it buys is all countries to follow International Law is not a serious jessica washington reporting live there from jakarta jessica many thanks indeed the heads of tech giants and the u. S. Supreme questions about how they moderate content the c. E. O. s of Facebook Google and twitter appeared before a Senate Committee which is discussing whether to reform laws that protect the companies from being held liable for users posts democrats say there needs to be stronger action over misinformation publicans accuse some platforms of censoring conservative voices in a freedom is the chief Technology Correspondent for axial she says that some of us got caught up in partisan fighting and fail to discuss the real issues. Today was exactly what happens when you schedule a hearing a week or less before the end of an election cycle you get a lot of you know partisan talk now that happens any time that were discussing these issues because it is viewed really differently by democrats and republicans but i think today we got even less into the issues around content moderation and really each side just trying to hammer home what it sees as an attempt to interfere in the election republicans see facebook and twitter as trying to throw the election to the democrats and the democrats see the republicans as using these allegations of bias to try and put their hand on the table if you will tilt the scale toward their favor so this was largely a partisan or almost exclusively a partisan exercise i think it is really important when we look at this free speech is really about the government regulating speech private companies have a right to set their own policies in the u. S. And in fact it never comes up but we have a far right sites far left sites and you dont really hear much because they dont have a lot of scale so no one is complaining that they have a bias obviously facebook and twitter have tremendous reach and it is important how they moderate it but its not about free speech so much as it is what are the rules and whats allowed and whats protected section 230. 00 which comes up at all these hearings gives extra protection to publishers and a lot of people feel like those protections should be limited and that criticism comes from both sides of the aisle just for different reasons.
