11:01 pm
humid the potential for occasional showers is still there but it's not the concentration that is still further north in fact there's quite a gap in the rainfall forecast for the surface and that might be coincident with what appears to be the moment rather failing monsoon that sort of means of value showers that went out to the very dry part of this part of india but then where's the rest of the bay of bengal there's been some pretty big downpours in the northeast of india in myanmar a few showers further west but even really from mumbai science has we've seen a reduction in the right or right you might be seeing going north was normally in the monsoon progress it isn't progressing which have produced some pretty nasty conditions to the north because it's still the cause primo on soon a very high temperatures in some places that means to me a lack of water but a cancellation of holidays in hotels. the forecast for the middle east remains the same windy and hot.

11:24 pm
activists are seeing victories in courts and countries around the world today we take a look at how you communities continue the fight for safety online recently google employees have taken to using the hash tag no pride in why to criticize a company for failing to curb harassment on the platform. carlos maza host of the vox series strikethrough is routinely be objects of the right wing blogger stephen crowder's anger toward the liberal media last month maza tweeted a video compilation of all the bullying he says he's been subjected to by crowder you tube looked into the matter but ultimately decided to allow crowder's content to remain on the platform and now the decision is sparking a discussion about online hate speech and where platforms should draw the line so joining us to discuss this in new york city carlos maza he's a you tuber and host of vox media's strikethrough in syracuse new york carolyn hedges she's
11:25 pm
a professor at the new house school of public communications at syracuse university and in santa clara california vincent he's the director of journalism and media ethics at them are clueless and santa clara university welcome everyone to the stream of course carlos i want to start on my laptop on twitter with that compilation you made but 1st it started with this tweet sent last month i have pretty thick skin when it comes to online harassment but something has really been bothering me. to say since i started working at vox steven crowder has been making video after video debunking strikethrough your show every single video has included repeated over attacks on my sexual orientation and ethnicity i've been called anchor baby a list the queer a mexican these videos get millions of views on you tube every time one gets posted i wake up to a wall of homophobic racist abuse on instagram and twitter carlos just reading it
11:26 pm
out loud you know i get chills i'm sorry that that had to happen to you and that has been happening to you talk to us about how this even got started. yeah i started working at box making the series in january of 2017 and i think i made my 3rd video i just noticed one day that the comments of the video were just full ready of. really unusual homophobic and resist harassment and quickly found out that it was because this guy had made one of his response videos ready and i didn't do anything about it because being the target of slurs like that is really embarrassing and humiliating so i just thought i don't want to freak out my employer and i want to draw attention to it so i just kept quiet and then he made 6 more over the course of 2 years last fall i got dox by one of his supporters which means one of the supporters found my personal phone number and then started spammy with ready text messages sort of know how they got it or who has it now but after that happened i reported to my employer and said it is
11:27 pm
a security concern and when that happens i look into whether or not you had any policies that might protect me from this kind of thing and much to my surprise you tube has made the harassment and the hate speech policy on the books pretty clear language that just doesn't force so i started independently reporting the video see to you nothing happened for months it may be more of these videos i keep waking up to more ready harassment and abuse on every social media profile and then a couple weeks ago it was like on my couch behind me eating halo top feeling very frustrated and decided i'm going to edit this stuff together and tweet about you too it's not an oarsman not because i think you're with this guy but i'm angry with the company they players that claims to care at all about group people and doesn't force the basic policies there were graders need to operate safely on the platform the coliseum into the dock thing and the. attempts behind that from people who follow crowder we've made several attempts to reach steven crowder on various
11:28 pm
platforms but we never got more than an automated response but he did post a response on his he had to paint late last month so have a listen to this. i've been accused of playing a part or this person carlos maza having been docs i have always condemned and continue to condemn discourage any and all forms of doc singer target harassment of anyone online ok i've been consistent so please don't do that here i know some of you will get obviously mad maybe a little enraged some of the information about here but please don't do that would be above that if there's any proof that i've actively encourage people to doc's this person or anyone i will profusely apologize any proof here's the thing of the 10s of millions of cumulative plays on our rebuttals to vox on this channel every single one of them is about criticizing their ideas or incorrect assumptions every instance has been about fighting bad information with better information now carlos
11:29 pm
maza. is upset ok listen have i ever called you carlos the gala tina host at fox yes of course but that's from the real thing. i think he calls it friendly ribbing i think you know and carlos i could see your face as you know we were kind of listening to some of that and i don't want to draw too much attention or interpretation from it but you know joking not joking baiting not baiting and the purpose of the motivation is obviously hard to really know but i'm curious for your thoughts carlos from what i understand you tube's response has been chaotic and confounding it's confounding to suggest that this is all just jokes as well as we just heard crowder do but i understand that their decision came 6 days after you flagged their harassment to you tube and you know this harassment had been going on for years we have some people on twitter like mark dice and others saying meanwhile carlos mazar encourages people to assault right wingers by throwing milkshakes on them and make them afraid to go out in public and why i mean he's referencing
11:30 pm
a tweet where you said milkshake them all term that i had to look up and understand but but in all seriousness what do you make of this kind of counterattack this idea that it was a joke and where the line is blurred how do you determine what's a joke and what's not and was the most shake a joke. yeah so this is the strategy i've been studying right wing media for. 7 years now for 8 years ever since i left college professionally and this is a strategy that happens anytime anyone brings up a good bit of criticism of bigotry or ready bad behavior on the rate which is the rate just going to argue with a 1000000 distractions meant to put the person who brought the criticism on defense so my life since i brought this up has been people going through old tweets and making fake photos of me sending fake nudes ready to my boss and calling in death threats over the same purpose which is to get me to overreact about stuff and change my criticism so it was focus but my beef isn't with steven crowder maybe
11:31 pm
because i'm with mark dice maybe because i'm with any of these people who are getting about behavior my beef is and has always been with you which is the company that claims that you're about to be people as for. the joking you know i edited and posted a compilation of a crowd is that about me for 2 years i want anyone to see we're not friends i've never spoken to him and never mentioned him in a video or mentions or usman we have no good blood between us he has been unsolicited calling me a list be clear and an anchor baby making fun of my voice and my body in a way that i speak for years that's not been the writing and the thing is you tube knows it's not friendly ribbing knows no serious person watching this thinks that he was making a friendly joke with one of his gay friends everyone knows his intent was to humiliate me so that too is a distraction and the problem that you tube has is that you have a very clear case right now someone who has repeatedly over the years violated their policy by engaging in the repeated use of racist somehow that somehow i'm
11:32 pm
glad you said that because of course that is the point that i think is really at the heart of all of this it's whether or not it's a violation of policy parallel and civil i want to bring you in here on this because of as carl said several times he doesn't necessarily blame the people that do this he doesn't blame crowder he's blaming you to him for allowing this to happen carolyn what's her thought about. well it does say in the policy that if it's harmful or if it's harassment that that would be grounds for them to remove the only problem there is with the terms and conditions that means that they could not that they will write so that the very you know fine line that we need to understand here and we you know as we talk about these things because at the end of the day you tube is really looking out for you to what is going to garner the most hits what's going to garner the most advertising and so for me when i look at this . pretty tragic form of bullying that's happening by. bike rather and i'm thinking to myself this is a very clear harassment situation and you know you tube should be acting
11:33 pm
accordingly however because it's labeled as satire behind it's labeled in a way that he says well i'm a comedian so therefore this is comedic and this is for effect that somehow gives them this guy that allows them to say well you know we're not going to take everything away will be monetized and i think from both sides left and right they found this to be an inadequate response rate me people on the left are saying it's not enough people on the right are saying how dare they and i think that the problem is that this is a place where this type of thing can and will and caroline as you were speaking or i saw it just i want you to jump in that if i can very quickly just you know with regards to the decision to do monetize i know that came hours after you tube published a blog post detailing their own plans to kind of crack down on inappropriate content if you will you know whether it promotes segregation or discrimination based on gender religion or sex and one of our comments that's coming in from our
11:34 pm
community subaru is saying from a g florus if the platform emphasizes free speech as instrumental to its business model it should follow the same speech laws in which it operates u.s. laws ruled by the supreme court protects offensive speech certain speech such as targeted harassment inciting violence is regulated and when it comes to regulation when it comes to legislation we heard you know from from caroline that this is this is tragic and should be somehow controlled what are your thoughts and where do we draw the line where why is this continuing to happen to people like a carlos. so i want to take a small step back and look at the bigger picture here because one of the things that happens in an individual episode is we we look at doc particular frame and what actually happened but there's a bigger problem you know when you do have an all of the blood from companies which is that technology companies and their technology companies that are literally mediating the public's fear 25 years ago it wouldn't have been that easy for this to happen what was happening now that we've got carlos maza humor and you're
11:35 pm
talking about stephen carter this would of happened the way it would would have that would that was offensive speech all the time happening in private places in a bar i could go up to a bot and somebody call me wrong guy get away from the country all of those things could have happened but it would have been in a way that wouldn't stand what's happening here on you tube as well as twitter as well as facebook is that is that is a legit demise ation of what is public what is offensive behavior what does he hate speech and what is borderline like how do you go under the radar for long enough that you want to get called out and there's a lot of. these companies that actually mediating the public sphere and while the good angels in this odd being actually encouraged because lots of good things have come out of social media it does also atomizing the batting just enough and it does let's creative people have those inventions to go and create those kinds of programs that will call out certain types of people and these people know that that
11:36 pm
technology based phones with it i'll go to make approach to automation content tell the difference between intent and context and fact it just won't happen. i've seen i've seen crowd as we do i don't think it looks comedic he says it's comedic now if you start saying it's comedic as a reaction to carlos accusations that is to me trying to take advantage of the system i don't think carlos she. comedic and he is part of. me. for him it's not comedic that has to be taken i do not get it peaking complained all listen to each dave being dehumanised in some way. show and like i like the point that you're making there because i wanted to bring this up as you were speaking basically you mentioned the borderline content and discovering what
11:37 pm
that is and how we decipher what that is take a look at my screen here this is you tube's official blog and i had mentioned that they had put this out as responses when say june 5th and they say that their work has focused on 4 pillars of investing in their policies or resources and products to live up to their responsibility and one of those pillars is reducing the spread a borderline content of course the question assume intent is what does this mean but i want to bring in a comment from someone else that asked what this means for the wider landscape of people because we got a video comment from conrad thompson conrad goes by the pronouns they and them and conrad asks a question to you carlos that i give you and they say that they got their opinion from a pot slime youtube video so this is an idea that's out there have a listen to conference issue of whether we should be platform not to censor but the platform steven crowder has surprising lead to much infighting within the left the crux of the issue is whether by advocating for the platform or anyone the left may
11:38 pm
be opening itself up to censorship by the monstrous mega corporation that is you tube google alphabet we can all agree that you tube is too big and too powerful you tube and also to media for that matter throttle to monetize and delete leftist content all the time and have been for a long time carlos what do you think about you tube silencing the far left are some of my comrades justified in fearing corporate. yeah it's a great question and this is exactly that i grapple with all the time my frustration with that is that. you know this is true of any rule of any posi to restrict behavior there's a risk of the policy being misused or used in a way that targets vulnerable groups that is not a defense of having no rules like i don't have a bunch of trust that police officers can fairly force the law but i'm not an anarchist because i think this lucian is to advocate for the air force and all
11:39 pm
those laws so the alternative to trying to restrict some speech is that you too let's he speech run amok and the numbers alter that is not people and bullies learn to coexist in peace if they were people and people of color get tired of suffering and i have the platform if you look at 14 and that's what happens you end up having a playground that is run slowly by the bullet so yet there's a risk of of overdoing it or misfiring the solution is to hold you to accountable and especially when they're public facing corporate values claim to care about the people ready there should be some connect between what the states advertisers and how they've forced their polls and on that point carolyn i'm curious you know we have a lot of comments that are coming in live on you tube. that are addressing something that we haven't explicitly really mentioned which is money. this guy on on our live chat saying you tube is a business it is aiming to get that sweet ad revenue and controversy like this drives people to the site i'm curious caroline when you you see that comment in
11:40 pm
kind of a focus on money there and then you see a tweet like this from frankie saying i've been very clear in many threads surrounding this issue between crowder and mazar that i don't think de platforming should be the baseline for addressing these issues i think there needs to be a thoughtful and teared system for dealing with the level of agree just as obviously it's all relative you know someone might find one thing more egregious but what is the role of money here and is you tube capitalizing off of controversy . i always tell my students follow the money right i mean that's what this is unfortunately all about when we think about you know demonetized thing crowd or for his offensive language that actually showed an uptick in sales for some of his hateful paraphernalia that he sells on his site so money is at the heart of all of this for better or for worse for better because that how including sears make money using you tube for words and the fact that he the more people that we have going
11:41 pm
there the more likely they are to keep someone being more hateful things going on and to carlos's point about how about you 2 being an advocate for the l g l g t l b g t q community as well they really are providing kind of a contrary position to the public and the reason for that again is because of the money if we were to all say hey let's just not use you tube let's just all agree that no one in the world will use you tube then something you know could potentially change however that's not a likely scenario i mean they are one of the biggest companies in the world they are the 2nd largest search and we go there to search for recipes so my point is that in response to that comment that's what i'm going to follow now go ahead. well sorry just tell them something for you guys your point there to defend her point. so i didn't know i actually agreed with caroline and i want to go deep on the point and go full what she thinks about this that is
11:42 pm
a money thing that's in the big chill for media companies a little it's not like television journalism did not use that age media approach to rank datings up all the time so that is not new watch new. there technology companies that have a global platform and to trying to build a global policy structure even though different countries different cultures have different sensibilities on what is hate what does a french want. it is actually a slow and what is not to slow what's the context in which something actually incited weiland is that this gov inciting violence is a risk of getting docked these are things that are not similar across the world and yet we we want to run technology companies as a business if you have to pick up the moderation policies thing across the world in each particular company so they have if you notice they don't have a hate speech policy for india to do to a wide hindu muslim weiland they have a ph beach policy period they've got it across the world and the continent
11:43 pm
moderation teams are trained to go off and look at the actual context but they're trying as best as possible to global policy structure that can automate as much of the detection and that's where the problem comes and then it gets escalated to a bunch of human behavior and people like carlos can complain well it's all i'm going to all the demise of the best they can and that is not looking good one word one in my opinion one thing i think to the problem with that is that it's expensive right so the technology can't keep up with the sophistication of how people are posting things the subtleties of sarcasm subtleties you know and the other things we've discussed and in addition if you're talking about those moderators that are they are going through video after video and there was a recent exposé about the facebook moderating company that you know people are going through post-traumatic stress syndrome after viewing all rights videos that take their human toll and who are and when you're talking about i mean actual and when we sorry to interrupt you but i just want to get this in here you know we've
11:44 pm
heard you know different people mention carlos you know situation we focused on that but there are of course many others and i just wanted to share lindsey ahmed who's the host and creator of queer kid stuff on you tube had this experience let's take a listen. hi my name is lindsay and i run a you tube channel called queer kid stuff where i make l g b t q plus and social justice videos for kids and families i've been on you tube for about 3 years now and pretty much since day one i've faced daily harassment it's actually gotten so bad that about a year or 2 ago i disabled every single comment section on every video that i have uploaded to you tube it's been a really big problem for a long time and you tube doesn't seem to be doing very much about it at all i think that i would love to see from you tube to make this change happen is to hire queer people and people of color in their executive positions to really look at the problem from the inside and get solutions from the community carlos is not
11:45 pm
a priority for you in terms of trying to solve this kind of thing yeah i mean i've seen a lot of these videos and their shows incredible and i've also seen a bunch of videos reach millions of views by just mocking the show and the most basic bigoted sense and there's that there's an issue about having critical people of color on advisory boards but this other issue that we're not talking about is that it's not just a just school difficulty for you to take this on you tube financially benefit stop of bigotry hate speech and harassment is incredibly in gage and so you built an entire ecosystem all right bigots who use hate speech to garner millions of views and then are you to reward those bigots by recommending you and you people too and building their audiences it's not that you tube is this passive carlos' negligent act or i think they're actively involved in the promotion because the entire i can hear what you're saying i have to positive there because unfortunately we are out of time but i think your point was crystal clear on that

11:49 pm
credible evidence linking crown prince mohammed bin salman to the crime. that prosecutors charge 3 russians and a ukrainian with the murders of $298.00 people after a missile brought a malaysia airlines jet down. life sentences and acquittal the attack on a kenyan university that left 148 people dead. and the emir of kuwait on his 1st state visit to iraq since the 1st gulf war as regional tensions. and i'm sure the sport has rail madrid show off another new signing many joins the big spending spanish giants as they look to rebuild after a disappointing season. so then the responsibility for the matter of saudi jenna's democracy is clear and an
11:50 pm
international investigation is needed that is the conclusion of a lengthy inquiry by the un special rapporteur. report describes because such is death inside the cited consulate in istanbul last october as an extra judicial killing for which saudi arabia is responsible she calls for a further investigation into the individual responsibility of saudi officials at the highest level including crown prince mohammed bin salomon through. court also details taped conversations about body disposal in the moments before because saudis arrival at the consulate she says the killing is an international crime with universal universal jurisdiction and she urges a criminal inquiry by the united nations well in the past half hour there's been reaction from saudi arabia the minister of state for foreign affairs and he says only the kingdom has the authority to look into the case and describes the report as full of full of clear contradictions and baseless allegations well earlier i spoke exclusively to my colleague. and here i was there and she was clear about
11:51 pm
where ultimate responsibility lies for what she called the execution of jamal khashoggi. the state of saudi arabia is 1st and foremost responsible for for the murder i think it's important to and cyst that the executor of mr cashel you was a killing by was a state we have focused extensively on the identity of various individuals that where involved in the commission of the crime but 1st and foremost we must turn system putting the responsibility of the killing towards the state of saudi arabia it must bear responsibility for that killing and we must take action as a state to repay over killing did of the crown prince of saudi arabia mohammed bin salman directly order show does matter i have found no evidence. regarding who ordered the killing it doesn't mean that the evidence does not exist
11:52 pm
it just means that i was not able to or to locate it what i would like to highlight as well is the fact that the response ability to force state killings does mean that we need to be more sophisticated in the way we define responsibilities of course who ordered is important but there are ranch of other responsibilities that are involved in the commission of the crime that are very similar to what we called the chain of command responsibilities in a in a military setting but to prime that concept to a civilian setting saw east somebody responsible for inciting directly or indirectly our deed somebody failed to prevent did somebody fail to stop the exit you should so this is why you have called for the criminal investigation
11:53 pm
to see exactly should solve that dos responsibilities can be identified but what you say miss calamine in the report that there is a lot of circumstantial information and you say that a bear at a bare minimum you say that the saudi crown prince condole and this behavior and condone the actions that led to the murder of john mouthwash. absolutely i am pointing out that the commission the exit of the killing of mr cash or spritz he did over the year by a ranch of regulations that had been when a reported denounced and money to there's no way the highest level of the of the state of saudi arabia including the crown prince well not aware of those repeated violations therefore for the 12 months at least that preceded the exit you should of mr there were many opportunities to take step to prevent and stop further
11:54 pm
violations doorsteps where not taken the exit to sion of mr cashel de force within that context within a campaign. directed at people perceived to be undermining or frightening the state the breast cancer believe of those in charge of the state is just engaged so talk us through then the sequence of events from what you have studied to what extent was jamal has showed g.'s murder premeditated. so based on the information that was made available to me including. some some 17 minutes of recording in the days and on the day of these exit to sion there is little doubt in my mind that the killing morse premeditated it course planned with equal splendor as the 1st objective or whether it was planned
11:55 pm
as a 2nd objective that i could not determine it may be possible that the primary objective was the kidnapping of mr casualty which is all saw by the way and it wished to end sr pondered a violation of international human rights law it is possible that the kidnapping was a 1st objective and though the killing as a as an option if the kidnapping field but steps were taken before the as fault of the preparation of the mission to plan for a possible war or an actual exit you should what steps precisely from what you heard in the audio tapes that were submitted to you because as you know the saudis have said that this was an operation that went wrong that it was a botched operation what steps did they take prior to jamal khashoggi entering the saudi cancel it. yes absolutely. the the team that
11:56 pm
our i have identified as having exit q to the killing of mr casually included a forensic doctor it is very difficult to imagine that sure we include a forensic doctor in a team for the purpose of only carrying out. an abduction that's the 1st thing 2nd the recording before the execution so recording i have been able to to listen to we my personal interpreter of those recordings and tickets that an hour before the killing the the dismemberment of mr casualties body was already discussed by the doctor and or the individual daws are indication in my view that at the minimum the killing was indeed planned and
11:57 pm
and prepared for the recordings that you talk about were provided to you by turkish officials correct yes these are the recording provided to him by turkish official and what did you learn in these recordings about the way jamal has showed g.'s body was disposed of because his remains have still not been found. indeed his remain have not been found and i must highlight the fact that the recordings needs to be interpreted they do not tell a very straightforward story. what was done to use body i cannot deduct. i have a home and i can infer from the sound that something was done based on the technique or. knowledge of the various people i have consulted it is well possible that mr cashel game was 1st put. first injected with something and then
11:58 pm
that he was actually asphyxiated weezer plastic bag this is the possibility the nature and the extent of the dismemberment of his bodied these i cannot comment upon it's not possible allow me to add one thing when at least this was a recording is concerned that i have when mr cashel loses consciousness there is no evidence of the people that are there in the room attempting to take care of him the 10000 to rescue team attempting to do something that to me points to the fact that the notion that there is an accident that the next event happened that doesn't quite match what i have heard there is nor tempt to to do something and there is no scream so or.
11:59 pm
any expression of of fear over what is happening do you think that there is anyone today who knows where the remains of jamal khashoggi are or yes absolutely and who think that people that were in the room the people that disposed of the body. do you know what they are there where 15 individuals involved in that mission. do you think the saudi leadership know where the remains are i don't know i mean ninoy love between b. will just make. yourself so i really don't want to argue to suggest this is not something i have tried to or determine ok you'll be presenting this column are this report i understand on june 26th to the un human rights council which saudi arabia is a member of what do you think is going to happen what do you hope will happen now that
12:00 am
you've released this report you know my report makes a friend of recommendations including to saudi arabia as a special rapporteur i am committed to establishing constructive relationship preserve the governments that i work with i have attempted to work with saudi arabia for the last 6 months of not shown any interest in doing so or my reporting proves or render of recommendations including with regard to the ongoing trial including with regard to step that. take to demonstrate not a repetition which is a from them and tall dimension of their responsibilities given that they have established that the responsibility of the state is involved not repetition and we mean a more were the things to to treat all of those that are currently and prison or arrest.
