Argue decided by those close to i think are going to decide to sell their clothes. Hello there is in the morning here in moscow youre watching r. T. International top story today facebook c. E. O. Mark zuckerberg has met with President Donald Trump as part of his d. C. Tour the social media platforms chief is looking to defend his company made mounting criticism by lawmakers over privacy issues and also Data Protection well facebook has been going through a rough patch legally of late and it seems its using all avenues available to defend itself and a recent case where a band recuse the social media giants of defamation facebook argued it was a publisher and hence the right to choose what content to put tagged contradicts earliest statements during a congressional hearing where he insisted his company was merely a platform and not legally liable for things that get posted. Here as mine. So what have we got here. Thats better plaintive ultra right back to vist laura loom or who was taken off pretty much all major Online Platforms defendant facebook one of the giants which kicked her out we carefully flicked through these court papers which the defendant filed to try and bury the lawsuit and heres what really caught the eye to the extent miss lewis claimed targets facebooks decision to deactivate her accounts it is also deficient under a well established law need to facebook know any of the publisher can be liable for failing to publish someone elses message 1st amendment provides absolute protection for such decisions what was it again neither facebook nor any other publisher protection by the 1st amendment so in this particular case the lawyers of sucking co are happy to legally refer to their social network as up publisher digging a bit deeper will reveal facebook has done that in the past as well when last year and app startup was crossing swords with facebook in court this is what came from the network spent the thought discretion is if 3 speech rights are respected what technological means is used. So is it just me or somethings wrong with how the platform we use every day identifies itself because when facebook bosses take questions in other places and scenes they always try to distance themselves from the notion publisher which are you are you a tech company or are you the Worlds Largest publisher because i think that goes to a really important question on what form of regulation or Government Action if any we would take. Senator this is. A really big question i view us as a tech company because the primary thing that we do is build technology and products as your response with your content which made exactly on of a publisher. Well i agree that were responsible for the content but we dont produce the content and thats been the message for quite a while we are a tech company not a media company. I do think we have to be the publisher and we definitely dont want to be the arbiter of the truth now just imagine what kind of legal trouble the tech giant may put itself in if it becomes universally recognized the company Mr Zuckerberg is running is a publisher not just a tech platform are they really ready to be responsible for anything disturbing more outright criminal that gets posted under the blue logo the examples have been out there in abundance. Or what if simply someone decides to law and bully me with all kinds of offensive stuff on facebook should i then also follow defamation suit against the network because they have a publisher a lot of it its well known you cant have a cake and eat it at the same time probably unless your last name is sucker berg well we have a facebook comment on the story we havent received a reply we also go to opinion from a legal and media analyst lyden. What is facebook now when Mark Zuckerberg spoke before congress he said were just a tech company i just make the platform available for people to say what they want to i have not publishing i dont put out of pinions im just like a billboard and thats the way people get around the idea of of perhaps allowing defamatory or libelous statements and the like now theyre saying were publishers we have the right to have anybody on that we want well if youre a publisher under defamation law libel law you can be held accountable and liable for the longest Time Facebook was trying to have it both ways if im on a t. V. Station and i Say Something defamatory about you or organisation the t. V. Station the magazine theyre liable to because they broadcast it they put this libelous statement out so whats it going to be facebook do you want the liability that comes with being a publisher or do you want to just merely be a tech platform and if you want to be just a tech platform here have to make up your mind because you cant limit speech you cant act like a publisher unless you are a publisher. The us would produce a parody fama has started bankruptcy proceedings its facing over 2 and a half 1000 lawsuits and is accused of creating an epidemic thats claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people but nobody is likely to go to jail this kind of explains. Purdue pharmaceuticals recently found liable for the Opioid Epidemic has filed for bankruptcy its reached an agreement for a settlement with 22 different state attorney generals regarding its malfeasance and the lawsuits now some attorney generals are saying its not enough it should not be about billionaires looking to use the bankruptcy process as a vehicle to further shield their assets and escape accountability this proposed deal isnt worth nearly what they say it is it doesnt require the sac there is to pay back a dime of the billions of dollars they set out of purdue through the sales. Over the last many years now the Opioid Epidemic has claimed roughly 400000 lives so paying a big fine does seem a bit lenient right well youll notice that none of these prosecutors are talking about jailing big pharma execs and they cant its a civil suit not a criminal case but that raises the question when a Big Corporation makes reckless decisions in pursuit of its own profits if they sold more they made more money yes. The same ones. Every other company in the industry and their actions result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people shouldnt they face some kind of very severe or real panel think attorneys general. Various states where you. Should be looking very seriously at the conduct of the jewels d and consider the criminal prosecution if those individuals if the elements of the crimes that theyve committed are clear if agreement was brought to bear on those responsible this type of conduct would be unlikely to be repeated well the u. S. Legal system doesnt seem to work that way back in the early 2002 nears that General Motors put an ignition switch in a very dangerous spot where drivers could inadvertently turn it. Off by accident it was very dangerous and as a result 124 people died rather more the company actively tried to cover this up even works to darrelle a recall so what happened well the c. E. O. Got grilled by the u. S. Senate my sincere apologies to everyone who has been affected by this recall i am deeply sorry but did anyone go to jail no g. M. Got fined 900000000 dollars and had its production closely monitored by the government for 3 years but did anyone go to jail for actions that resulted in taking over 100 innocent lives no there are principles in. Corporations that are in this country but around the world who are cruel one because of their power and the money they took me and some of the people in these companies who contributed the. Prescription to get the United States knew that they were likely to be criminally prosecuted if they were identified they would twice or 3 times or not engage in that behavior but for average americans who kill people or commit Violent Crimes the penalties are not so soft the United States has the biggest prison population of any country in the world its also the only western country to still practice the Death Penalty and sentences of life in prison without the possibility of parole are handed out in the United States all the time jurors heard 2 days of testimony about goals because difficult childhood goldsby himself asked the jury for mercy but 8 jurors still favored the Death Penalty why. Did you do that you have to serve at the ceiling so the rule of american justice seems to be kill one person in a fit of rage youre going to jail maybe even for life but kill hundreds or maybe even thousands of people in pursuit of bigger profits for your shareholders well just pay a fine and dont lose too much sleep over it up and r. T. New york. The u. S. Is her threaten the Solomon Islands with sanctions condemning their decision to recognize taiwan as chinese american Vice President mike pence turned down an invitation to meet with the leader of the solomons to discuss further partnership. The decision by the Solomon Islands to change its diplomatic recognition from taiwan to the peoples republic of china has consequences theyre hurting is storage strong relationship by doing this is a setback and its prioritizing short term gain with china over a long term commitment with the us the us says its assistance to the Solomon Islands is now under review but cutting aid is not the only measure washington is threatening to impose u. S. Senators wanted ny access to american banks. And now i will begin exploring ways to cut of ties with the Solomon Islands including potentially ending Financial Assistance and restricting access to u. S. Dollars and banking. Back in the 1970 s. The u. S. President Richard Nixon did the same as the Solomon Islands now recognizing taiwan as chinese and trying to piece the economic ties with beijing and travel to china to meet with this later but things are very different now with the u. S. And china engaged in a bitter trade war constitutional lawyer eric several says that the u. S. Is looking for excuses to destabilize the asian region. The United States at this point is beginning to resort to old cold war tactics if you will of which side are you on and trying to get people to make sure that certain countries are aligned with. Countries of their choice in opposition to beijing so that they can still continue to make arguments and keep. Keep things a little disruptive in the region peaceful asia with relationships between all the nations is a huge financial threat to the United States because that bloc being more cohesive will result in their domination around the planet if you will rather than u. S. Economic. Domination and so its a very unique dance. That several 100 people have gathered in the nevada desert in the u. S. Under the rallying cry of storm area 51 what started as a joke cool water break into the u. S. Military base attracted the back 2000000 supporters on facebook with many claiming the American Government is hiding u. F. O. s there but more on the story his son caught. Its the day weve all been waiting for a chance to discover weve been contacted by aliens over 2000000 people have already said theyre going to storm area 51 a top secret u. S. Military base its notoriously connected to u. F. O. Sightings and 2 teens have already gotten their feet wet trespassers caught near area 5012. 00 men from the netherlands arrested after getting 3 miles inside the Nevada National security site morning the truth is out there but 0 or the Police Busting 2 dutchman they say were trying to sneak a peek at area 51 the legendary classified base in nevada supposedly home to little green men in their spaceships it was just a joke at 1st a Facebook Event encouraging people to storm the mysterious space. We will meet up in rural nevada and cool neato apologies if we know who to run we can move faster than their boots lets see the millions even the guy who came up with the idea wasnt taking it too seriously it was all fun and games until the f. B. I. Came knocking on his door thinking he could be a terrorist started out as from a peer stroke of imagination is just meant to be funny i want to do something cool out there now that we have a bunch of people but i dont want anybody to get hurt still that hasnt stopped people from jumping on the bandwagon maybe most will just stick to being keyboard warriors and chicken out at the last minute ok but the authorities are not treating this as a joke which may just be adding to the curiosity. All joking aside were taking it very seriously on nation has secrets and those secrets deserve to be protected secrets well theyve got to be important because extra security and barricades have already been prepared in anticipation of the hoard it also doesnt help that several videos have surfaced in recent years of supposedly u. F. O. Sightings all captured by u. S. Navy pilots. Could be. And the navy only added fuel to the fire of speculation when it labeled those objects and identified aerial phenomena movie does ignatz the objects contained in these videos as only been 2 foot aerial phenomenon the unidentified aerial phenomena terminology is used because it provides the basic descriptor for the slicing observations of unauthorized unidentified objects that have been observed entering operating in the is space various military controlled training ranges government secrecy always will fuel all kinds of speculation when you have a government that is not transparent its going to lose the confidence of the people this was the lesson of the soviet union its the lesson of the United States today where there is a lack of transparency where people know that theyre not getting the truth from their government on a large number of matters area 51 and you oppose in general have never gone away in the public imagination certainly not in the United States. There have been many sightings of apparent u. S. Those in the vicinity of area 51 and people know about that and theres always been the stories so. I think it has captured the imagination of a lot of people we might not know how many people are really going to this area 51 a vent but one things for sure the u. S. Government is acting like its got something to hide donald quarter artane. Place the company this morning were going to take a quick break well have more nice and tame. You know world big partisan route a lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. When we all make this manufactured consensus public wealth. When the ruling classes protect themselves. With the flame of. The one percent. We can all middle of the room. Real news is really. Welcome back now the us streetwear brand has released a collection of hoodies featuring the names of schools where deadly shootings have taken place this though has prompted outrage with people accusing the monetizing the tragedies the new collection unveiled a new york features not only the school names but also imitation bullet how survivors and relatives of the victims have called the line disgusting and disrespectful. This coup shooter who does that these toy designed are absolutely disgusting what the hell would make you think that a hoodie design with bullet holes was a good idea no one thought about the families or the pain that was felt on the Largest Scale that these events caused disgusting profiteering over the lives of our nations children living artistic about this at all be sure this is really where we are as humanity and with what looked like bullet holes in the sweatshirts our lack of empathy for others is horrifying how this can be fashion as a joke to someone is beyond disturbing mystery wants to profit from murder children nothing edge of all the b. S. Opportunistic and cheap but such awesome free p. R. Shut them down while the design is beyond hoodies that you claim that message is ironic and is meant to actually empower survivors the past decades have seen a dramatic rise in Mass Shootings in the us especially in schools. Where we spoke to the brother of a sandy hook shooting victim he does think the fashion is capitalizing on the tragedy. I dont think it empowers anyone to show bullet holes and to show the names of the schools that have experienced shootings you know this is a very raw subject for a lot of people i think that the best way to get back at this company is not to sue them its to let them sell the clothes and let them find out for themselves and no one is interested in this i really think if you decide to wear a clothing item that is. Exaggerating the shooting the trying to bring it into society and trying to bolt holes in your clothes and exploit the shooting that you know i lost my brother in 25 other families will forever be changed from i think that shows what type of person you are but i think if theyre smart theyll decide to take this line out of production and they wont try to sell it to the public to save face for themselves frankly i think what they did was a p. R. Stunt and again its just a group looking to capitalize on tragedy were always looking to our president to enact change we look from clinton to bush to obama to trump the not change and fix the gun control problem but maybe were looking at the wrong person there we need to look at ourselves maybe it starts at a Community Level and thats why im running for state senate you know its so important going to start with us and thats what im doing in my community that. Vienna civvies have a major trade deal between the e. U. And south america they are unhappy about the way brazil is handling the large scale. In the moments and some of the concerns have been expressed by france and germany however many business businesses do you work with does have a direct connection to the fine as is shown it to be explains its an environmentalist would not back while fully is raging in the amazon and destroying the wolves by a diverse tropical rain forest. Our house is burning literally the amazon rainforest the lungs which produce 20 percent of our planets oxygen is on fire as an International Crisis i couldnt agree more manual macro we need to act for the amazon and for our planet talk kids and grandkids are counting on us the lungs of the entire earth are factored and thats why we need to find Common Solutions here leaders of the globes most advanced countries pledged to do more at the g 7 the heat may have died down but the blame game certainly hasnt with some looking more closely at where the amazon wus may. Europes Financial Institutions the companies and the financier is housed in those countries are contributing to the forestation many of these companies are known to have unsuitable practices in their supply chain to be clearing areas for the expansion of agriculture especially pursuing cattle so yeah and cattle ranching account for 80 percent of families all deforestation Major Companies such as a. T. M. Call gail j. B. S. Are being financed by some of us biggest banks including the m. P. Paragraphs dont spank and block walk they not only bankroll that debt theyre also major shareholders with a voice in how these companies are run so areas of the amazon are sometimes tension only to provide all earned for cows to graze all to grow crops to feed life stock these european banks are directly funding the forestation do it your bank and he blackrock in vanguard collectively on more than a 1000000000. 00 in debt in just the 3 largest saw in the 3 largest cattle Companies Operating in brazil are these even banks often vocal about their sustainability policies. Are also being accused of hypocrisy Environmental Campaign group amazon watch contacted them about their role in the amazon was fine as well Deutsche Bank and blackrock didnt respond b. M. P. Paragraphs had this to say the m. P. Paribus has been strengthening the sec to policies related to deforestation for several years and this prompted his clients to protect natural active systems and preserve biodiversity to the best of their abilities but that experts say is just simply not good enough we can encourage that use it finally is yours he can rule in requiring that the companies have certain standards their doubt deforestation commitments that they implement those commitments and that they were poor on their progress to address the deforestation with in their supply chains given that even if theyre not producing these materials or directly clearing the forests they have a role to play in ensuring that that clearance doesnt happen without the traceability the accountability of all actors involved including here in europe the fear is that our house will continue to burn. Off powers when the french finance giant Credit Agricole also said that it will no longer do business with companies that are expanding their coal operations we did our story to bank to comment on their links to Amazon Deforestation the waiting for response.
