A new undercover report says the social media giant censored the president s supporters for some time. This is r. T. Thanks for joining. The Current Affairs tracing app that was rolled out in france has alerted just 14 users about their potential exposure over the course of the last 3 weeks despite the country recording many new cases of the virus every day david skeet looks at why. Stop code it. Was a priest to be a bright idea that could help prevent a 2nd wave off in sections and on your smartphone that uses bluetooth signals to keep track of the devices and therefore the people that you come into contact with and what it was a few weeks ago the french digital minister said it could also 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 fold start some 2000000 people actually did download it corowa you might think given that there are an estimated 47000000 people in france with smart phones thats barely a dip 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. 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 it is yes i dont looted it but i didnt really understand how it worked every time i tried to use it nothing so raw you were is this a true resistance to an up that was only supposed to keep you safe from the biggest threat the more world has ever apparently see if. I take precautionary. She has like a mosque but so i have a problem with giving my personal data for this application its for that reason i didnt download it the. Internet for the Younger Generation i wasnt interested and like younger people i move around a lot for their work usually. Didnt take the time to download it oh did you leave in a safe way for example i did bike and stop taking the metro see my friends but i dont need a lot of people i dont have the need to download it because its centralized i plainly and truthfully im quite wary of what would be done with may they. Know and im not fond of the principle behind the 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 have a thirst 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 wage yes i think that 14 is not many it was only 14 people who are informed. 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. Delete is the other thing that nobody was thinking the up would work anyway france is digital minister has been trying to save face saying the numbers reflect a decrease in the viruss prevalence. This is true the numbers of infections havent been steadily declining in france said drake oh says he 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 euros a month for an app that we are using jollity will ski r. T. The us has seen a record daily increase in covert 900 cases reaching 40000 new infections on thursday his figures from Johns Hopkins university the previous high came back in april with more than 36000 cases america still holds the well the sound record of the most global infections with a total of almost 2 and a half 1000000 cases this lady surges 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 we have the greatest Testing Program in the world weve developed it over. And were up to almost 30000000 terrorists that means were going to have more tasteless if we do want to test or if we didnt as we were never cases but we have cases because we test deaths or. We have one of the lowest mortality rates weve done an incredible historic. Well as he says the u. S. Has a lower mortality rate than the likes of say the u. K. Spain door with around 38. 00 deaths for every 100000 people however that is still the 9th highest death rate globally meanwhile the spike in new infections is considerable and has been put down to young people testing positive especially in states in the south and west of the country now the way the crisis has been handled in america has dealt a blow to the countrys reputation in europe a new survey 9 country shows 59 percent believe americas image is suffered during the pandemic while just 6 percent believe its improved we asked 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 the french sorry 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. In the United States they have managed coverage 19 poorly in fact it is enough to count the dead i believe we have controlled and manage the epidemic better. You know this is to me the pandemic in america has not taken seriously a person like truong has done nothing he was able to build the separation of mexico and i suppose he was im soo capable. Fighting this virus you could have done lou but instead underestimated the situation for you and 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 to meet our mistakes. 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 to surround 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 lincoln change the status of millions of slaves to free demonstrators also the trump supporter from the scene protesters later marched with black lives matter signs chanting no justice no peace. Meanwhile the latest poll shows that almost half of americans see the black lives Matter Movement as very favorable or most the same number have the same view of the police which have become a target for the movement after George Floyds death in Police Custody in minneapolis the polls carried out in swing states ahead of novembers president ial election show that most see mistreatment of black americans as a worse problem than rioting over this comes as the president of the new york Greater New York lives Matter Movement warned the system would be burned down if their demands were not met. Im pleased to say im joined to live on the line now by Hauck Newsome who is the chair of the black lives Matter Movement in the Greater New York thanks for coming on. Donald trump called out a statement of yours as treason sedition insurrection do you respond to that. I believe that donald trump is very good at rallying is grace so in essence what he did was put a target on a movement that most americans see as favorable as affected and what he has done is riled up his base to be violent toward myself and toward d other actors activists but d what he should be doing is organizing his base and his legislative seem to bring about changes to policing systemically changes to education and finance as it pertains to black people systemic lee 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. How do you expect the administration to handle the protests that have spread across america since the death of george froid. As. The head of this corporation or this organization that is america it is very and change and it is very important that the head of this organization Pay Attention to the shareholders which are we the people and wouldnt we the people saying good legislation in place that will click police in jail what are we saying in this in our education to give black people who better opportunities toward the future would we sing defund the police a lot of people dont understand what the funding to police is i know a lot of you know white americans in Middle America and specially white women we feel unsafe about defunding the police but what were saying is put the money back into Community Organizations should take a remedy the situations that that cause a need for the Police People commit crimes out of. Poverty Mental Health issues and desperation lets attack poverty by providing opportunity lets provide social services to tackle the Mental Health aspect and lets just put police in jail right but not as mad a great the new york came out with about 24 policy point a lot of people have a problem with black about this 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 clouds matter activists he shouldve went to black opportunities dot com and took a long list legislative agenda which are a series of bills either we created or people here in new york have call for a very long time governor andrew. Cuomo has adopted 3 policies also this bill a lot of people want to call us i have a law degree ok were black man agreed in new york is opening a schools this fall we have created to the state and there are people with finance degrees there are College Students i mean we have such. Wealth of knowledge instead of looking at our knowledge they want to look at us and in and out blackness and out revolutionary stances in dismiss everything that were saying and its counterproductive so the country why not listen to the people who are fighting the artist right now they want to point the finger and say hey its all cultural one sanish you have College Professors who are out there rioting you have warriors you have white people black people brown people aging people who are out here marching ok these are people who are fed up with racism in america and instead of dealing with the racism in america people will say and she was the problem as mad as the problem of this group or that group heres a problem no the problem is that america has mistreated black people for 400 years and it needs to be resolved people are tired frustrated they dont feel protected by the democrats or the or or the republicans and theyre lashing out this isnt one group of people telling folks to go out and tear everything down no its people who are sitting in their homes frustrated and they go out and they express themselves and its its its the problem is is that america will not face up to its races history and do something about it. As you mentioned that it goes back a long way is in u. S. History and you talked about burning down the system are you talking about the system in the same way you talked about the police do need to go back to the very beginning for many elements of society thats right so you look at Police Reform you look at policing in america that institution is coming. Right you look at it in minnesota dave abolished police to years ago we would see abolished Police People thought we were crazy but now theyre focusing on more d Community Based social work oriented form of policing our history with police and straight patrols like they were never had a Good Relationship with policing and its not just activists saying it there are conservative scholars who say this there are democrat scholars who say this i mean trust on it ministration address the issue of mass incarceration who put these people in jail the police hears. It ministration there is addressing in issue and denying it at the same time. On. You seem to have the public support at the moment if you want to make big changes like this take things back to basics and fundamental parts of society do you think youll be able to hang on to that public support people get afraid of swapping the nun for the young one. Beauty of america is that it is an experiment or a american is a america is an experiment in democracy we saw. You know we saw it they gave marriage couldnt be done now people are getting married we sort the schools could be integrated schools are interest graded of people are striving we thought that a lot of things that were possible. Weve got a lot of things werent process will well d once we actually put our edge to it and try are possible we have to be stop being afraid of change and we have to start targeting the change makers thats thats the american way they they call you crazy and jill you know you figure it out like steve jobs or jeff bass olds or even Albert Einstein right youre always crazy and so youre right old thanks so much for coming on pleasure to speak to my guest is whole can use and hes the chair of black lives matter in Greater New York thinking.

The wealth of facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has fallen by 7000000000. 00 is it shares share price tumbles after lucrative advertisers boycotted the network claiming it isnt doing enough to filter hate speech donald trump has much to do with their fury but a new undercover report by project veritas suggests that the social media giant has been censoring supporters of the president for some time actually bigger explained. Oh how the mighty have fallen ok maybe not fallen but facebook and other platforms that owns 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 place to jasons to hateful content occupying the same space as extremist recruitment groups and harmful disinclination campaigns youll add buying dollars being used by the platform 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 viber are dropping their ads and things really got picked 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 site could protect and support black users could they call out Holocaust Denial as hate could they help get 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 u. S. President wrote a post that was deemed by many to be inciting violence after the incident zuckerberg 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 yes 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 plane exception that just targeting conservatives or favored liberals we really came to take the word from our side yes good form of ourselves really which is that maybe one of the select growing political ads though so now they can get more exposure to the left there is the right but facebook obviously had to give 100 percent they really were fired lining 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 take 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 make someone who chooses to suppress that blacklists 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 an editor with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about other source and whether youre looking to google whether you look at in facebook social Media Companies that engage in censoring or. And a political candidate 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 bird is ruining the day he ever even entertain the thought of regulating content on his side all the name of 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. Environmental action Group Extinction Rebellion staged a dramatic comeback this week carrying out a number of new protests around the world including a shoplifting stunt against poverty in the u. K. Shoddy it was dusty reports. 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 were 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 proclaiming things like new lower price free because poverty sucks news the infamous Marie Antoinette slogan let them eat cake with the word cake crosstown their bonus 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. Political gloss to respond to the extinction of the human race this move into the world of Democratic Politics has surprised many people because Extinction Rebellion has always prided itself on being a direct action through print movement all about staging numerous acts of civil disobedience all across the world never the less 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. Dont know if youre like me stealing from a shop but given how it is they are very dropping the desk but i dont think thats how they should be processed its all up by stealing doesnt set a good example i wouldnt vote for them. The parts. Made a lot of could get to keep what youve got the time. You do really need to pay the i recall you know all the time to what theyve done. The entire day no not they didnt pay for it and i think the concept is a good idea im all for taxing the rich or more in order to redistribute up funds you know more efficiently and fairly. To display theyre doing right but it 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 streets to sitting in parliament.

Secret prisons and usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 zone there were too few houses were.
