gemini has become the biggest e u country to legalize cannabis for personal use. the new law is one of the most liberal in europe, allowing adults to carry on cultivate small amounts of the drug. suffice and supports from balance. it was a happy moment for those lab loan campaign to be criminalized, cannabis, active. it's got it at berlin's kind of his museum to watch. the law finally passed the last hurdle in parliament, the director of the museum himself spend time in prison for smoking marijuana. this will be a $180000.00, less across the oceans in germany next year. and it will be a normalization of kind of as use in the public. and it'd be, it'd be, uh you really, you, it's really hard to consumers. opponents of the law call it, it was sponsible citing dangerous health effects troubles of you to mention cause even i've seen so many people become so seriously ill, so badly damaged by drug abuse. that because i've never found that way back into

normal life. and i've spoken to so many doctors you've wanted against going down this path. support to say the opposite is true if adoption can be controlled. since 2017 does, german company has been allowed to grow and sell kind of best for medical use. the main indication were kind of as, as prescribed as chronic pain. and that's also a lot of people report and studies that they experience a lot of relief. but the legal notation is only partial. the government wants to control the supply of recreational kind of is. so only members of circles kind of as clumps will be allowed to obtain level you rhina, rolling plans to gather everyone in germany about 18 years olds come now possess 25 grams of kind of best and public 15 grams at home and throw 3 of these plans themselves making the german cannabis policy even more liberal countries like the netherlands, where despite the presence of coffee shops, kind of assessing that for been legalized but produces worry that the government's

main ink to crack down on the black market won't be a chief. official says home growing cannabis, especially in the german climate, isn't easy. and if done properly can be costly. he predicts many will continue to buy from dealers. yeah, that's unfortunately, that's, that that's the truth for either the street or if you have a house issue, then go to the pharmacy and get something to control the government plans to legalize supply in the future as well. but for now the lives in this bach and bullying won't lose all their business steadfast, and l g a 0 bullying. and that's it for me, laura klein, you can find much more on our website onto 0 dot com. i'll be back. we will news after the street, the a rama. time is a time of messy translation worship. reward for every good deed is multiplied

by 70. it also brings nice you to the millions of people around the world to us suffering, trumpets, injury to conflict, devastating disasters, and abject poverty. to make use a cat to human appeal. now to help save lives and transform communities. is the u. s. that will, with genesee's favorite time, of course, referring to the latest time to time. take so many know, take talk as the viral videos that came massive popularity during the pandemic. but the us says it poses a security risk. does it? i'm very impulse. a lot of this is the street, the united states government. can i ask what our priorities are right now to talk if hills is the,

is the 247 news channel of so many of our young people and it's like out just 0 on steroids. so the tick tock band, this time feels pretty inevitable. so the only thing that this tick tock bamboo has proven to me is not the government can in fact get there together to get things done right. when it comes to banking, the being remedied up is the one time and they decide to like unite forces and come together. know when the homelessness rates are going up is 10 talk could span. i will personally make sure that in scrim realty is under the photograph of the people's republic of china, and the chinese communist party is trying to steal you information like i'm an 18 year old girl in michigan. what am i going to do for china and take my information? i don't care. i had not been like i'm trying to change my life on here. like i just went viral video where you within a few months, americans might lose access to the platform. if a bill that recently passed through the house of representatives is signed in to

know the us once the beijing base company which owns take talk to sell the app to a u. s. company of what it says of privacy and national security concerns. but critics say this is actually about censoring young voices joining. we discussed this today. all 3 us based tip top content creators, ad organizes camille green, digital create, the and speaker, also known as the jen, ve historian nikita red call comedian and writes a i'm content creates a known as professor i've been very university on take folk on one of rashid and entrepreneur with the background and research whose content focuses on palestine on us is role relations. welcome to you, my wonderful panel. thank you for being here at makita, let me kick off with you. tell us a little bit about the content that you create on tape talk, why the platform is so important to you. hi,

so i talked about news pop culture and economics for the girls to think of news needs for our before i do still the mostly complicated information and, and just like fun ways that women would enjoy and likes eating through our lens. and i think he takes off is really important because it allows me to reach an audience that maybe doesn't like to watch traditional views or like learn things and like a rigorous academics and boring ways. and i just, you know, i think it would be quite a last to lose that audience that i think that a lot of people have learned things for my videos and it just like have more fun or anything that way. awesome. well, what do you, what do you say about sex talk, which makes it gen these acts of choice? yeah, there are several factors that contribute to take talk popular young jen z to that

immediately comes to mind our authenticity and community jersey. more than any other generation values authenticity, both in the concept they consume and the content they create. other social media platforms really do promote a pause, more polish self image. and when we look at take talk, you tend to see more real authentic videos and just the really to next with that. and what we also see is that this translates into our communities and interactions and genuine relations onto the top that you're just not really getting on. know there's also media platforms. hello. what's the state k then? is the van does go ahead. well, there are these things are at stake. there are over a 150000000 active users on tick tock, united states alone that will use for a lot of people, the preferred op of choice. there are thousands of small businesses that will also lose their ability to reach the customers and potential employees. and of course,

is the underlying concern that many young people have that will lose our ability to express free speech in a way that we've been doing on tick tock ever since 2020, after the death of george floyd in a protest that followed tick tock has been a place for organizing politically, for getting people to vote for getting people to protest. and it's one of the assets, but the most effective for this cause. so losing tip top will be a huge blow to junk people's ability to organize in this way. now not everyone agrees that the app is a force for good. take a look at this. i think it makes complete sense for the us government to require the tick tock, not be run by a chinese company in america, because just think for a 2nd. would a nother country allow, you know, like, would china allow, or would the russia allow america will do of great britain to any of these other places? would they allow them to have a social media foothold that literally can shape the minds of one of its people?

i don't think they would ever got tick tock and why. i'm glad it could be banned. that was a phase when took talk. convinced me i had cancer because our guys don't law the algorithm kept. so we me cold on kind of because you don't like the algorithm get so specific outside of that. it's not scary and they were like, i was 8 months pregnant and i was close to my, you know, i might want to just tell me you're pregnant now. i'm dying the money to my go all my algorithm. most caps, of people. okay. can i oh i see you, it's going to come back in the plays. it's a reaction to that video or so the person who seemed like take talking business, they had cancer, just needs to elevate their immediate literacy skills. i have a friend named joe burwell, he's known as a medical me buster and he creates content around the issues in medicine and issues in health care within the black community. and his content has literally reached people and saved their lives, told him about diagnoses that they would not know that they've had. so take talk,

had been a force for good people, of course the to apply me illiteracy to it. but i think they take that take talk is bad because it can convince one person they have cancer, which didn't seem to have any consequential effect orange having noise. trevor noah's case saying that no other country would allow somebody like to come to exist . well, in the easiest, particularly in the u. k. took talk does exist, and took as partnered with organizations like the bbc, to elevate young journalist and other other ways of using the platform for good and integrating it with society. so it's not a universal belief that kicked off just has to go for society to function. when the, when it come to us government is saying that this bond is necessary for dates of security reasons. since tick tock is owned by byte guns. a chinese company, are you concerned that china is going to steal your data or is doing it already? well, if the concern is really about a foreign government trying to steal our data, i think that all eyes should not be on the fine of the rather israel. if we look back in 2023 voyager labs and is really company use 38000 avatars. on facebook

and instagram to capture user data. and if we're looking at social media platforms in general, wario software company actually did a study in 2021 and found that companies that are collecting the most user data are by far facebook at 80 percent user data. and then we have instagram and took talk actually rank at 6 place only costing about 46 percent of user data. so i really think that this promotion and this narrative that china is taking user data is just to cover up for what's really going on, which is to suppress a anti israel and pro palestinian content that we're seeing on tick tock, especially fellow, following the prices. that's going on and on the well on the topic of why this band is raising eyebrows and long money. let's take a look at this. we live in a society where our congress cannot agree when basic things like how to ensure that

flint has access to clean water. how do we fix our public education system? congress can't agree on how to stop homegrown terrorist and individuals in the united states, american citizens who are trying to influence our election illegally. but yet they are worrying about a foreign government. congress can't agree on how to stop other social media platforms from selling our data. but they're worried about tick tock. this is the distill via that we live in. but keep those based on or propose bond reflects your political needs and priorities. absolutely not. most people that i know are using tick tock for very innocuous reasons. for example, looking up how to cut the rest of the online or looking up what outset goes with laughter. it's in the spring time, and obviously there are so many more urgent political issues that have, you know, we have a problem homelessness price as we have a very nephew, nomic prices. we have

a cost of living prices that many people my age are suffering from. people are holding 2 jobs at minimum just to get by and it seems like this is the thing that the government himself focused on. it seems mary out of singles or real priorities . camille, as a historian, is there anything in us history which might perhaps make you skeptical around the motives for this fun? yeah, we're talking a lot about foreign governments here, but our own government has a history of clinical making itself an adversary against its own citizens. what could be that they can collect, and this goes back centuries from this edition out of what we're buying, where people weren't even allowed to protest the us involved in was were one. there is all of the horrible teasers during co, intel for oh, and i see i have oversight. the epi, i in a c, i is oversight over domestic drags, which are largely civil rights activists. and even in recent history, there's been a patriot and all of the overreach of government intrusion that came with that. so

there's a lot of precedent for americans to be concerned with our own government. and when you're asking the question of does it serve the political needs of the people? i mean, take talk has already announced project taxes where to move the data of americans to american servers under the american company called oracle. and if there was any sort of actual solution to the issue of data privacy, it should be sweeping into the back all social media platforms. so this very weird take on just targeting, take talk shows that even when there is an issue. the solution is based off serving for government interest. now there is one issue on 2nd thought which has been consistently flagged as a problem by some american official. let's take a look at the old people you know, shop to find shockingly and terrifyingly on the tech talk

problem. the problem there came in the same range that gave me the same brand that gave us all these other amazing innovations for energy towards this . like wiley, how much of this do you think is about the growing support among young americans for palestine? well, i saw a funny we actually and it said that during the one on 6 talk and said 3, how sign in the us government responded by saying o l no. and it seems like that's definitely playing out right after this right after october 7th, we saw a huge resurgence of this bill that was basically passed in the house just a few days before the bill was passed in the house. we started hearing about reject a pack, an anti israel law group, which was unprecedented. we also know that the jewish federation of north america,

back to the bill that went through the house, which was also an unprecedented move. so it seems that the mainstream narrative on israel dean, this innocent nation surrounded by all silent arrows, is just beginning to crack away and do us government. and israel are working together to really trying to suppress that. and i think that tick tock, band resurgence is directly related to that. and i do want to go back to that video that you previously showed the lady speaking about how the us government just can never come and work together. and i just find it so interesting that with this tick tock band, it was such a bass, bi, partisan, knew that, and it really does make you question, what are the factors and the individuals are that are a play that are contributing to this pass 1st through the house, well on that no clue. what do you make of the timing of this provider is banned ahead of course of the us elections. i think the take talk,

ben is something that's been pushed consistently when there's been a rise of progressive movements in general. and i think it's really important for everyone to see this sort of through lying there and how the government, oftentimes, whether it be the democratic party or the republican party, sees tick tock as a, a way of changing the status quote. and then that way, a negative thing, the 1st they talk band came after the wave of black lives matter protests and awareness around critical race steering issues like that. and they came with donald trump. and then again, last year to take talk came, it arrives at a time where people are once again bleaching up to one of the issues within the democratic party when it came to climate change in promises that were made in palms is that weren't kept even by the democratic party, and then we're seeing the combination of based on the election year in my opinion because take talk is really seen as a place where playful information cannot be controlled, where most information is constantly of course distributed. but at the same time counter whether it be missed information from other users or missing information

from mainstream media. so i think that that really stairs politicians because it's something that's a complete wild card in the election year. i think for that reason they all come together, they say logistics id equation because it's not working for us and well can funds over online radicalization on the platform have also been raised and this is what the internet had to say about that. it's so funny, but lives think the youth have become radicalized due to chinese influence on sick talk like blood. these kids were in school when sandy hook happened. when they asked if that life massive more than guns you told them to come next time. you radicalize them, nikita, i want to come to you about this that has been reset. so of course into how the sick so algorithm can, um, so if i home full content you convinced by this argument? it's so a no, absolutely not. and i was kind of piggyback on my career said earlier about media

literacy and the importance of that, i think instead of just outright the ending an app because you're scared of the installation, you can't control on it. it's almost, it's a progressive society to evolve with this like new for technology that we have and it's necessary to teach kids this in school, you know, kind of like how we learned computers when we were in school instead of just dining . i mean, you know, we thought we were learn or excuse me, we were taught like how to type and so yeah, i just, i just think it's like a natural evolution. and i also think that being kansas getting radicalize is not necessarily a bad thing considering, you know, there's a, you know, what information is. yes. you know, maybe not being controlled, but we're learning from the people themselves. like we're seeing content from palestinians themselves and their voices being amplified and you know, previously those voices reciprocity passed. and i think if we're talking about radicalization on social media, we need to talk about the radical violation on facebook and the all right,

revolution that has come from facebook and january 6. you know, if we're talking about take talk, we can't not talk about that. um why do i wanna. * ask you about this, i mean, i get the sense when i speak to speak to take talk. he uses it as a, a feeling amongst many of you that this is the grounds. the space in which you can organize maybe the basis for accounts of how within us. and so i see, i mean, is this what the government is really afraid of a yeah it's, it's really answer interesting. speaking on mobilization because on like so many other social media platforms, sick talk has the ability to garner mass support for a specific cause that such a fast be. in my example, actually i put together a petition speaking on settler violence. and just on that few days i was able to garner over 15000 signatures on that position. so to talk is able to promote a lot of change very quickly and bring together a lot of different people. and when we talk about radicalization,

i honestly think it's just the wrong word to use here. i would say more. so what take talk is bringing is realization realization that the mainstream narrative of israel, especially of being this isn't nation, is just beginning to crumble or beginning to see that it isn't it right for nation . another policy and people are being depressed and in american culture, especially that narrative just hasn't been spoken about. and we've also seen that to research actually conducted a study back in 2022. and for the 1st time in the us history, americans between the ages of 18 to 29 had a more favorable view of the palestinians. and they did of is really 61 percent in comparison to 57 percent. i think that raises huge alarm in the pro israel lobby here in the u. s. and the sick talk banding boy was definitely backed by the pro israel lobby, such as the jewish federation of north america. so i think what's really happening right now is the realization that the mainstream narrative is incorrect and

a lot of people are beginning to mobilize, the counselor that, well, this isn't just about a political platform being erased. there is also a consent among many come to increases as regards loss of income. look at this. i think that the government says to realizes, even if they have this app, we've already seen too much. we have knowledge of beings that we would have never known before. take that and that knowledge is not going to disappear. we're not going to believe your propaganda even without take that. i also think they failed to realize the consequences of banning this app because at 1st glance here is just a day as an app, but people have built businesses on here, millions of businesses and no one has seen a change in e commerce like this since amazon now imagine of amazon just shut down all the things that are connected to all the businesses day support, all the people that work for them that will be catastrophic. so why wouldn't we think the same of ti talked?

what will happen when you take away all of these people's income? carol, i see you, it's going to come back in on that one as well. what, what did you want to say? so when i graduated college, i made a conscious decision to turn down a full time job offer to be a full time creator, mainly through take talk. so i'm going to people who is personally invested in tick tock, continuation along the lines of, of course, i just believe it's a huge one, a issue, but also it's a platform where people have been able to build their livelihoods. i think that it's very important to recognize specifically what i have is education business and to address a concern that people have had on yes, tick tock can be a place for people. share a doctor, perspective on history or share and this information or this information. but at the same time, there's a wave and a force for good in the spirit of the 1st amendment, is that and what are the counter bad information you don't sense rate. you instead actually offer a different perspective and explain why your perspective is better. and i've been able to do that through my education business that facilitated to take top. i know

all other types of creators who have been doing advocacy and have other businesses that are product based, even ones around mental health and other issues like that. a lot of social impact causes. so i think that there's like sort of a huge economic blow adult is most general businesses to the social impact businesses, to the small creators trying to start a business septic tank. but it go away and money. you'll also an entrepreneur and you rely on tick tock for your business also, don't you? yes, i do. absolutely. and this is definitely going to take a total on my business and a lot of other small businesses take talk. i've noticed just among all the other social media platforms, it really is able to garner that sense of community and it's really the community that support small businesses in the us. there was also concerned and i was just reading recently on the news that there is a widespread fear regarding a stock market bubble just 1st thing and this combine with tick tock potentially being banned is leading just to a lot of fear in americans in general. and we're gonna end up seeing that play out

over the year, and we'll see how the tick tock land plays out as well. i do want to hop off nikita's point as well. we were looking at the younger generation and i previously spoke about how the younger generation values authenticity more than any other generation. so when it comes to the mainstream narrative crumbling, that really is because the younger generation are able to see right through those lies and such as the video said, that's not going to change is take pocket band. americans have already seen the truth and ultimately, regardless of the tick tock band, the mainstream agenda just isn't going to suit them anymore. and the case i want to ask you, based on everything we've just discussed today, what is binding sick talk actually a solution to fanning's extract seems to just be a solution of the government wanting to control the narrative and wanting to control what type of information gets out there, but as the person said before and the tech top that you posted, it's too late,

we already know. and now it's just even more transparent that this is a very obvious push for censorship. and it's a very obvious push for people not getting information right from the source. but i think that this is just going to serve to even like, give us a spirit of changing things even more life now is really a cultural shift that we're witnessing right in front of us between people who have that power for so on and have so much uninterrupted power for so long. and now we're kind of seeing that shift in, you know, some of that going back to the people a little bit. and us kind of coming together and seeing that things right now, don't have to be in the way that they are. what, hello, i want to ask you with so much of stake that full for young people, both in terms of what the platform represents for organizing and community, but also financially, i mean, surely there's going to be some pushback. if this bond don't go ahead. i mean,

the young people are not going to just take this line down. ave, i don't think so, but i will say one strategy that's been very effective for the government is how fast and how sly they were with this band for a lot of my peers. there's almost a sense of boy who cried wolf when they 1st heard about it this year, and that that there's been talked about tick tock band once every year, probably sends 2020 so they just didn't take it as seriously this time. and finally, when i went through the house, that's a lot of people woke up. but even now, because once it got americans have such low literacy on how our government works, largely because of our failed education system and large of being combated by people like me and take like we're making them more aware. there's not a sort of universal understanding of the next few steps. it has to go through a sent it, but it has the present has to sign it. they don't understand necessarily when the timeline is for this. so i think young people want to organized, but because we've been cap so politically in the dark, large will because of the same problems that we need take talk for it's verified,

organize around this issue. but i think as we raise awareness, and as we do interviews like this, our generation will have more of a education for how to combat the sort of issue. while we're on that very important point, i want to say thank you so much to euklel, nikita and wally and of course myself and the team hit and loved to hear from you. so please do get in touch, reach out on social media and let us know if there is a conversation or topic you want us to address their refi, use the hash side or the handle a j stream. and we will look into it. stay away and i'll see you soon. the, the devastating strikes followed by here where we chris because that's 1st responders know the new mission could be the last but until then, the humanity drives one day with because of the civil

defense which miss rescue mission. because on a jersey business like this, this route to you believe i guess is a line was funny on one of your was makes more than plates. the

business like just is free to you believe i guess is an ice fly on one of your just makes model and plates the of the lower. kyle: this is the news our live from. so coming up in the next 60 minutes and is where the strike hits the around in conflict in damascus. a senior revolution with golf combined and his deputy are amongst those killed scenes of death and destruction amongst the ruins of gauze as i'll shift the hospital for bullets of israeli soldiers committing atrocities of.
