Government is contemplating isnt going to just let facebook off the hook for policing free free speech its its going to possibly wipe out free on line speech entirely you see on wednesday this week u. S. Attorney william barr convened a workshop featuring many of the Tech Companies critics to explore potential changes to section 230 of the Communications Decency act which was passed back in 1996 and that is a long time critic of section 230. 00 attorney general barsa could instruct his Justice Department to explore ways to limit the provision which per tax on Line Companies from liability for User Generated Content meanwhile the kings of Silicon Valley are quickly realizing that all is now well with their worker bees as this week we also saw these circus storm the ramparts one that workers at the crowdfunding platform kickstarter made history on tuesday when they voted to unionize making them the 1st in the industry to do so. What a day what a week in Silicon Valley online free speech under attack my friends it seems like a pretty good time to be watching the hall. You want to go on a cd you straight you want to. Listen to what she says see rises joyce state. Rice grace suggests least systemic deception is the late show which. Brings us. To watching. Wow look at this. Talking about security and weve got the potential destruction of section 230. 00 and then you also have the unions forming and Silicon Valley whod a thunk. I thought that if a different time 2020 have a lot of surprises of it appears with with everything bad facebook has come under scrutiny for when it comes to all of the all of the ads that theyve been running particularly Political Campaign ads that many feel arent necessarily the most truthful but in all honesty are most about is a huge leap from endorsing in housing on your platform political ad that doesnt have truth and it to actually pushing to change a law where individuals who may be speaking out against something or who may be shading other individuals on your platform i think thats a very different thing and it also opens up a brand new can of worms because there are people who are literally using their twitter and facebook makers every day to attack other people and it may be wrong in and of itself and nothing to stop individuals from suing those who do pay me their names or sure things that they shouldnt be sharing but you also have to also be able to come after the company is a problem in and of itself i dont agree with that yeah thats where i feel like theres advocates for the democratic side of the republican side you know within the u. S. Government like saying look look section 230 which essentially if you didnt understand you know if we didnt understand if the web scrub it earlier is basically like it prevents. Average citizen from suing you know somebody if i say your mission youre a terrible human being on facebook you can sue me and say like ty youre lying im a wonderful human being which you are but you cant send letters and you think something good about it but you could but then that maybe but then it protects facebook from actually being held liable for anything i might say on it to 30 a century what they want to do is get rid of that where the Facebook Twitter all these Major Companies and Smaller Companies would be held liable for whatever their users do when using their you know. Their algorithm online or their or what theyve set up its really dangerous at the end of the day it is dangerous and what is and what makes it limiting because there are so many people who have an issue or take issue with things that are said about them in any platform and again i think that its absolutely fine and many people have already done this gone for it then super libel and other things when it comes to individuals making comments about them but going to sue the platform is a little bit of a stretch and i think you made this comment earlier we dont do this when people send Text Messages you can write in a shady text or stays out i mean people dont like via text message and were not calling up the rise in sprint and everybody else and looking at the carriers thats part of the problem you know the messaging service is not the problem its the message go after the message of the why if you go after all the people the you know do all the slow shaming of women in the make the Death Threats towards women and things like that like actually investigate that make you know check that out 1st the other big thing too is union i am so happy to see unions in Silicon Valley right now i am and im excited about this because im a big prounion person you know they have their problems but i think that ultimately the workers need good representation of someone fight in their corner and its nice to see that kickstarter you know kind of gave in and everybody kind of came forward to put a union for you in that space so i agree with you 100 percent on that organized labor has a long and strong history across this country and i think that in the tech space specifically with the large amount of people who work there the advancement that we seen there was only going to be a matter of time before United Nation big. And to take hold and i think the 2019 specifically showcased so many wins for unions across the country were talking about the teacher strikes and the gains that they got in several cities across the country we look at what happened with General Motors we look at nurses at chicago hospitals theres been so many wins across the country as it related to workers standing up for their rights in advocating for health care and advocating for better hours and advocating for wages that actually made sense i think that Silicon Valley was not going to be too far off but they definitely picked a time that was very right and then look to Silicon Valley when you hear those reports about how facebook was was treating their employees and things like that their growth in these people lot of those people and even the companies that they hired are actually facebook employees or like google employees the outside contracting theyre driving these people into the dirt so its good to see this come forward and say im happy to see if mission with an organization like started because a kickstarter as a fund raising the nama there are different from some of the other ones because they do take into effect all of these humanitarian efforts and goals and things like that so not to not be paying your people fair wages to be working them into the ground it kind of goes against everything that this organization stands for at least in practice of total are good examples. There is no shortage of crisis in americas Public School system from out of date teacher Training Pipeline issues inadequate funding models and School Safety concerns all of these things come to mind but students of color and those with disabilities face another challenge exclusionary practice exclusionary practice remove students from the classroom who teachers dont feel they are equipped to manage or are afraid of a troubling case out of florida takes exclusionary practice and concerns for the treatment of disabled students to new heights the mother of 6 year old florida student not a king was left outrage when she learned her child was taken into a Mental Health facility without her knowledge not only was the mother not contacted nor did she provide consent before her child with a sword into the facility after she got there her 6 year old was given antipsychotic drugs and if you think the torture a chain of events in there youd be wrong the young child was also kept on lockdown at a facility for 48 hours. 48 hours officials at lovegrove Elementary School where young lady is a student claimed she was so out of control that she had to be sent to the Mental Health institution a counsellor at the school gave the recommendation for not to get to be committed under the florida Mental Health act of 171. 00 commonly called the baker act under this law of social workers have the power to have children as young as 2 years old committed without parental permission. Sounds like the people behind this legislation need to be committed themselves at the very least this needs to be revisited in the light of civil and human rights abuses it clearly violates if you dont see the problem for what it is ill paint a clearer picture florida kids are getting sent to psych units and record numbers under the baker act the shoddy about you ation kids as young as 2 are receiving have resulted in the removal of thousands of florida students from the classroom and as a 2019 over 32000 Mental Health evaluations were conducted outpacing child population growth statewide cases like young audience are rare and only with vigilance camp lorna finally sunset this devastating loss. Wow that is a brutal law i never even like you know really shocked me when i was reading up on this when you brought this sort of attention today is i assume that the baker act came into being like in response to the School Shootings and things like that i assume that wasnt a or at least does it appear that there was a shock wave factor like School Shootings actually made this come about this was utilized at a time where florida schools that actually take them apart some of the integration issues they had in their schools at the time that this came about it was in response to a lot of different counties were using to have minority students in their schools so there was theres an interesting back story to this that has absolutely nothing to do with middle help at all whats interesting is in the time of the School Shooting will say 22012. Its been used 7500 times with children the numbers of rapidly shot up recently in the times its being used which would blows my mind because this this law essentially if i read it right was really about only intervening in a childs welfare or you know grabbing a kid and something to get into a psych evaluation and say well this was only in cases of imminent danger and when i think of imminent danger i dont think it was 6 year old a 6 year old does not come into my brain when im thinking of imminent danger from a child absolutely but imminent danger when it is left to be dissed. Bribed by the teachers themselves imminent danger and imminent threat means an entirely different thing and weve seen this also happen with Law Enforcement when it comes to people with mental issues but also when it comes to minorities specifically and here we have a case where the 2 actually collide so one of one of the other big problems is who is determining whether or not there is a mental capacity issue or something that should be actually treated in 9 out of 10 cases in florida the person who makes that decision is somebody in Law Enforcement it is not an actual counselor it is not someone who is trained to find these things and young people it is literally one of your School Resource officer these people arent skilled or trained in anything Mental Health specifically and a lot of this is basically flagged by a teacher in the majority of cases there are teachers who literally have classroom Management Issues so a kid may not be sitting down all the time or he may be fidgety or they may not want to do nap time or they may be distracted in class which is very common specific for kids who have a ph d. Which young not does. And this is what ends up happening you know its also incredible to me to the fact that like both the Police Officers who are then driving to do essentially the funny farm sorry i know thats not p. C. With their driver over this place theyre both seems really cool she doesnt seem like shes wild and she doesnt seem like shes a bad kid and the fact that you cant call a parent during that entire process to me thats the 1st person you call if your child is acting up in school in a way that you need to call in the authorities wouldnt it make sense to call the parent to say hey your daughter or your son whoever were having a hard time can you come to the school absolutely because if a child falls in interest themselves and needs to get any type of medical attention at this and the school has to the school is authorized to notify the parent like you have to do that so to remove a student and take them to a Mental Health facility and not kill the parents and then furthermore for that Mental Health facility to administer psycho drugs to these. It is a huge problem what you dont know how this might interact with any medication this child has already taken you dont know their health or their Family History there is nothing on record for this child and youre giving them these really high level drugs at 6 years old and the majority of psycho cycle psychotic drugs are not even regulated to give to a child that young and then this child is locked away for 48 hours and in that case just kept getting worse and more and think of the damage youre putting on these children and their child you know other children like not here but the damage you put on them is like would you ever want to go back to school you know if your school did that graduate of a class sent you off to a psych you know a psychiatric ward in a middle class just because you dont want to listen the teacher provides minutes thats pretty brutal if you havent absolutely going to think that one of the other issues is that this isnt a new story floridas been doing this for a while but they actually picked up between 20112018 again thousands of students have undergone this process and nothing is being done.

I dont want to see him die in a prison. And i think thats what hes facing. Us. President trump might just have the magic touch if the magic shut its quantified by bumbling on a Major Campaign talking point in a high stakes Election Year president truck ran on improving the lives of veterans but the agency at the forefront of doing just that is unraveling before our eyes last week the deputy secretary of Veterans Affairs was fired email better ends with Sexual Assault claims are being ignored and reports of wrongdoing are being met with their tally action against will blowers not to mention Veterans Health initiatives are going underfunded its hard to imagine how things could get any worse. In or afghanistan the long awaited and highly anticipated u. S. Troop withdrawal from afghanistan could be on the horizon after all the on and off talks with taliban leaders and the state Department Things finally seem to be moving in the right direction but things arent always what they seem the truck administration has not been forthcoming with details of the deal with taliban leaders or a clear timeline for withdrawal they have asserted goals much the same as in previous administrations stopping violence on the ground sustaining dialogue and Mutual Respect between the taleban and the u. S. Backed Afghan Government and ongoing efforts to dismantle the Islamic State and al qaida but troop withdrawal is complicated when it comes to running for president and not just for donald trump if youve paid attention to any of the democratic president ial debates contenders for the white house have been vocal on this topic from their pete to Joe Biden Amy club which are all have advocated born into americas longest running war but with the cabinet that so form of limited special operations and intelligence remain in the region joining us to talk more about Veterans Affairs the myths and realities of troop withdrawal and taliban talks is veterans advocate and political analyst riley conflict thanks for joining us thank you roy thank you as always for coming i want to. Has there been any word what what is the reason behind the kind of surprise firing of james byrne the deputy secretary of Veterans Affairs that essentially came out of nowhere for a lot of people to follow the whats going on over there so yes it does come out of nowhere and the v. A. Has not put out any official statement other to say that the secretary has lost confidence in mr burns ability to do the job however the scuttlebutt on the ground is that v. A. Recently had fumbled a very high profile investigation into a Sexual Assault claim that involved a staffer on the house Veterans Affairs committee and by way of background the staffer reported a Sexual Assault at the d. C. V. A. Medical center the v. A. Came out and said after the office of the Inspector General investigated that they could not substantiate the claim. That was not true what happened was when they looked into it the v. A. s security cameras were not working so they couldnt substantiate the claim because the security cameras were not working so the spin that v. A. Put on that was very negative and there were also rumors that the secretary had tried to dig up dirt on the background of this particular female veteran who had made the claim and there are some talk that the deputy secretary burns had pushed back against doing this and that is ultimately what led to his firing v. A. Has denied those claims but that is what some other stakeholders have hypothesised. Terrible things going on here nothing yeah i mean in the 2 areas you dont want to take these things lightly and you know for a white male secretary to you know approach a female veteran that way i think thats indicative of you know a lack of respect unfortunately. The department referenced in the entrance to the segment theyre really dealing with some problems in terms of how theyre handling Sexual Assault claims this ties into d. O. D. s because a lot of these are military Sexual Assaults and how you get proper v. A. Benefits and treatment for that a lot of female veterans are saying when this is how investigations are handled they dont feel comfortable going to the v. A. They dont want to go because if theyre going to be assaulted and then theyre not going to be believed that reinforces the military sexual trauma that theyre supposed to be getting treatment for and that in turn compounds the problem because where are they going to go for help if they cant go to the v. A. Why do you think things are falling apart so quickly as you spoke of the Sexual Assault claims these are things that weve known about when it comes to better and when it comes to being a military officials to begin with for decades and you know in the era of need to the expectation is that women are going to be able to vocalize with more theyre going to have more support that doesnt necessarily exist more women in the military what is that what does the pathway look like for them so i think its important to know. The big picture you know the v. A. Has been a mess for a long time and its as much as people want to criticize the trumpet ministration here a lot of these problems are longstanding and so with the military sexual trauma issue in particular a lot of this stems from the machismo culture thats so prevalent in the military and we just the military in particular has not caught up i think with other segments of society in terms of how they view the power dynamic between men and women who are serving together and while we still have that very hierarchical structure and still some of that again just that really strong machismo culture that carries over into how the v. A. Does things because most high ranking officials that come from a military background so that culture is and reined in them and they bring it with them to the v. A. So like many things they think the v. A. Just culturally needs an update and because they cling to this outmoded culture of how things are that leads to many of these other problems that we see within the department youve studied this for a while with a little bit about the kid for change the form tell me how do you make those changes is come with you know a new appointments to the top of the heads of the department was just one of those things its going to be generational and it just kind of we dont know well i think it has unfortunately been generational as somebody who studies the v. A. History i think you see from the beginning v. A. Was plagued with issues when v. A. 1st before was a Cabinet Department it was just the Veterans Administration the very 1st administrator of the department was martin scandal in the Harding Administration and was involved in selling contract goods at a higher price that perry bill depot to his friends went to jail and thats kind of you know the v. A. s over in a store thats the eightys opening act explaining what they were never really fully recovered and so when they elevated v. A. To a Cabinet Department in 1988 the thought process was well this will bring more accountability you know the secretary will have direct access to the president theyll be more awareness. But unfortunately i think what we see is as a policy issue in this kind of transitions into what you guys are talking about with afghanistan we have a civilian military divide people think the v. A. Is somebody elses problem i support the troops but im not going to get really invested in this and so politically i mean people dont often win elections on whether theyre supporting Veterans Benefits everybody says they support veterans they dont necessarily want to do the hard work of holding the department that cares for them accountable and in the meantime its going to continue to be a problem because again we continue to be at war do we do great transition for me thank you i because that is the other thing i want to talk about today is that weve seen multiple president s over and over again talk of this big game above were going to pull our troops out of afghanistan im going to be the guy trumps the latest in a war was going to be the guy are we ever really going to. War and do you give weight to these talks from although you know youve followed this for a long time are these talks any different from what weve seen before i dont know that theyre any different than what weve seen before however what is different is that it is now an Election Year and trump knows that people are paying closer attention to this now that it is an Election Year than they have perhaps in the past couple of years and so when it comes to Foreign Policy weve seen the candidates running in the democratic primary have very similar talking points of were going to pull our Ground Troops out they talk a lot about were going to take our combat troops out and thats really just a semantic difference because of the nature of combat now its not hand to hand fighting that we had in previous generations so saying were going to maintain some presence but remove our contract combat troops i mean thats kind of a distinction without a difference and so its a talking point that i think makes candidates think that you know theyre going to win support that this is a concept that people support but very few of them offer specifics on how theyre actually going to do that and i think weve seen not just with these current conflicts but you know going back to vietnam as well where a lot better starting wars than we are finishing them thats very and thats a problem thats very true. Its very true that is what weve heard the Democratic Candidates speak out about utilizing special forces but pulling out combat troops that you as you spoke up one of the interesting kaviak that they always have is that this is to make sure that theyre stabilizing the region that theres a certain level of protectionism there and that our allies will state as well what do you think about that so i mean to a start this time i think that that is valid however if we havent stabilize the region in 20 years i dont know that were going to suddenly stabilize it now and i think that thats an important consideration and i think when you look at some of the more indepth reporting thats been done our allies have indicated that theyre theyre kind of ready for us to go americas like the guest who stayed too long at the party you know so roy i got to say thank you so much always a pleasure having you want to bring in your knowledge and expertise to these subjects thank you so much for coming thanks for having me. Our look i cant stand the cold nor do i like sleeping in the cold which means that me and toads living in the permafrost of siberia have absolutely nothing in common except they give my utmost respect because not only did these microscopic worms survive the freezing cold of the siberian permafrost but they did it while being frozen im lying dormant for over 42000 years yes these siberian mimic toads i believe thats what they called a bet in the state of deep freeze since earths pleistocene era and are now the 1st living evidence of multicellular organisms returning to life after being frozen in the arctic so for all those fans of Science Fiction classic the thing these nematodes just prove that yes the creature could come back to life after being frozen for long periods of time and also most definitely childs at the end of the movie was in fact to those who put the right amount for and it was actually seen with the corrosive.
