7:34 am
palestinian voices. we are not paranoid, we are not paranoid about what happens on flushing media over the past. let's say 78 years, we've seen evidence clear evidence of censorship, of accounts being taken down of double standards in the way facebook or twitter deals with the city news page. and then as a, in the propaganda ministry page, for example, we've seen those double times. we've seen the evidence over the past years when we say there are issues and there are problems they can be dismissed as technical issues or the censorship israel because we know the evidence is there, and it's always changing and changing and shifting forms. but we're not paranoid. the censorship is always there. palestinian activists and journalists and users of social media have been decrying the discrimination that they're facing on the, on those platforms for years. i personally someone who has worked and wrote
7:35 am
a lot about this topic. i have not seen anything of the scale. so brazen at this point and so incredible i it's beyond censorship. it's, it's digital repression. social media companies are actively suppressing the narrative of palestinians and their allies were sharing solid, their content with what's happening in palestine or documenting human rights violations and war crimes. there are like domestic efforts to silence palestinians on the online space. that is your e d government is trying with all its power to silence palestinians, either through the voluntary dig down where that is right. you cyber unit is sending requests to request an equal to the ocean media companies for example, and 2019. and they had made like 19000 request to the social media companies regarding the content take down the content,
7:36 am
take down and in 2020. then i'm but only continue to run everything he saw just there was broadcast live, but they were more revelations to come about the digital battle policy, teens are current a fighting on line, so keep the conversation, but allow more mono. and i had behind the scenes of the episodes ad the is there any intelligence service they were, they were checking and making activists in jerusalem. and they were telling them that we will hold you accountable later on. so they were threatening the activists either who's going to dr most a by using the gps so that they're just using g p. s to spy on people and then they send, they send them a short method that we are going to hold you accountable. later on and there is other cases where the intelligence service they, they send messages to people calling them look for things on social media. and by
7:37 am
doing them, they are threatening that social media activists and the human rights defenders. janie and box service introduced this new system during the corporate crisis to track every mobile phone held by everybody. it's not even new in every every mobile phone held by anyone and associating the number with chip with an id card where the name and the tracking location. the tracking system is, it's always been there of course, but it was list amazed by the connected. but as a new parliament and it came, it became law and the services were using, it's an abusing it's over during the course period. and we believe that introducing such a method, such a measure of for pandemic purposes is, is really, it would be really easy to abused by this back services, which we do want to intimidate and track people. and that's probably the source of
7:38 am
such a messaging. what worries me the most is that, you know, it's not just take down, they are modeling users. you are being modeled with that knowing you're being muzzled and that you know, the, the in the tip of power you can function as a non transparent company. i'm like here users, even though they have made many public commitments to uphold human rights to they even facebook, especially they had a huge corporate human rights policy issued a couple of months ago in march. but when you see their commitment versus the actual action, it's 2 different stories. and i'm glad, because finally, we can say with full confidence that you are discriminant, your bias, and you are suppressing the protest being in there. i think there is no other way, you know, there is no one that can say, well, you know, it's just
7:39 am
a bunch of accounts is the technical glitch. and i want to add to this is that, you know, for social media, it's not how, you know, it hasn't only just helped us penetrate into mainstream media. and the palestinian narrative actually forget about the policy and narrative to fact from the ground. the, the, the fact of a part high, the facts of genocide, the fact of ethnic cleansing, they are finally breaking through and people are talking about publicly without fear. and it's also saving people's lives. it's saved the people in general and elsewhere from being evicted from their home without, you know, there's so much the thing happen in the bark and having social media and live streaming and documenting and helped in that sense. it's really disappointing and i would say disgraceful. and discussing that as social media companies, even though they,
7:40 am
they claim that they're the voice of all people. they're actively suppressing people who need those platforms. the most. we stay in the digital well, to unpack how the audio chat platform clubhouse is being used globally. once it's loaded onto your son, you can browse through thousands of rooms looking at the conversations to listen in to take parting or even moderate during the shower gas in the gall motors, avi melissa china malt are in jones talks about the difficulties of using an app that promotes free speech in countries. they don't encourage open dialogue of the broadcast. i asked them traditional some of the best conversations that they listened in t. welcome to overheard inc. house not going to get us started. the conversation i had was, it was very interesting and discussion about gender roles and sexuality in the countries. and i thought that was kind of fascinating because, i mean, i'm gonna,
7:41 am
i'm a sort of professor and we, we do talk about this in class and a very kind of private space where after a time where people feel space, but to hear people talking in chinese experiences from the golf club house in what is a very open for i'm really kind of i thought was really nice. refreshing. how much do i want to offer more detail here? well, i think it was, i think we took him out the sex education. we were talking about sexuality, what, what, give me rights, which talk about in the middle east. right. you know, it is the red line in most countries overheard in comp house. melissa, the one story that stands out for you. i think it does have to go back to what's happening and she jen and the engagement between weaker than han chinese and there was one moment where one chinese woman, i don't remember if she was in china or out what she said,
7:42 am
i want to tell everyone in this room that i feel heartbroken over what my government is doing to to you weavers who are listening and i wish there was something i could do to change it. and i think a lot of wiggers true gone through so much trauma. needed to hear that from an ethnic chinese it was really intense and he and you heard, you know, come talking teacher that i just remember that and i could go on but yeah, mega as a hurting club house. well, i would also say and has to do with the me to conversation there's been him need to move moments a sort of a new movement over the past couple of years, year or so that started on twitter. but then with it was mostly, you know, anonymous account, a lot of he says she said, we're not sure how can we trust this? but then suddenly clubhouse came. there were these rooms of hours and hours of
7:43 am
discussion and people would just drop in their own name, their own voice, and start telling stories of these me to issues about celebrity prominent musicians, artists that would just mind blowing mind blowing, and it wasn't at all possible on twitter and it wasn't possible with media because the media is very careful when it comes to me to stories for legal reasons or they don't want to be sued. they don't want to just put people on air to talk about these things. but it seems like club house gave a platform to a lot of iranian women and a new found courage because you would see various, with tim drop into a room. and each of them talking about the issue would give cars to someone else coming up saying i'd been living with this for 10 years, but now that i heard so and so talk about it and hear her voice shake or her quiet . whatever i want to talk about it too, so it's been really groundbreaking when it comes to the me 2 movements in iran. i
7:44 am
am going to give us all 30 seconds to do this. and today i was on camp house and i spoke on clubhouse. i had so much and they, they, me, they wrote me out, then i got to tool and they were like, and now we're kicking me back to you williams, because you'll to chassis and it was so much. i loved it. but it was for research. i had, i had a blast and reasons. i look a lot more i had spoken. what was that like? yes, i spoke but and because i was invited to a panel, i've been too afraid to volunteer my perspectives in a random room. it's just the scary movies that have you have have you spoken? yeah, i have although in the rooms that i described, i was silent because i didn't think it was my place. i was reporter, really sort of listening in on these conversations. but i spoken on more panel like stuff and more official stuff. i ran a room was running hard
7:45 am
and i still going to panels. and sometimes when i go into the rooms they try to bring me up and i don't have anything to us. so i keep rejecting, i just feel so bad and i eventually have to leave the room because they just do it so many time. but yeah, it's been an interesting experience and now for something employee different. so let geo engineering is a very nice area of climate science that has scientists arguing with each other q the plates. so this is the theory. this is how it works. you release into the stratosphere material that reflects sunlight back up into the stratosphere. and so energy as well, which means that fear radically down on the of we could be much cooler despite global warming. this is a theory. the research is not exactly sure what the repercussions of solar do you engineering might be. for instance, how do you control the cooley who gets to make those decisions? and right at the end of the debate which we had on the stream,
7:46 am
andrew for schwabl hogan brought up another major issue. so i think i've been talking to 4 people, ignore that research and followed you engineering. and he's been dominated by a group of institutions that is based in the global not. so the only constructive way forward on this is to establish an international governance mckenzie that is decided luck to international participation. so that's why we ended the live discussion with an assertion that scientists in the global notes, i tried to make decisions that could harm people in the global south. that's the conversation i had to finish. actually continued her point after the forecast. so, i mean, i think it's a really interesting time to have this conversation about solo you engineering as the sort of going to a little bit to make that highlight why the diesel communities that are located in the south. i mean, sort of highlights the fact that a majority of the population that's based in the move is how needs already had the
7:47 am
most existence. and there isn't enough the capacity to jordan. so i mean, we do need to be thinking these uncertainties and risks that affect the community of morphine. so when it comes to code, you are engineering in all of this research that is happening all of the i'm talking, these and disc shouldn't be discussed. it should be highlight, did i mean we should not be gushing them in discussions and in default. so with that in mind, it is very important to create community. we are able to have open and critical conversations about their documents in engineering. so to that extent, it is really important to have more voices on, on, on this issue like we need to have more war system than you will need to have more young people invoice in the conversation. we need to have all been involved in this conversation. and we need to keep going. i'm guessing we all 100 percent agree. i mean,
7:48 am
kelly and i both been involved in an organization that has tried to fund research across the global south. i've been involved now for 20 years, trying to reach out to people. i think my 1st trip to india was honest, i think, was more than 10 years ago. so that's, that's exactly what needs to happen every single thing that address that is right. i think maybe one thing to say is that the fact is solar to return research is more or less the same as it is climate science. very similar and climate science is unjustly contrary to the rich countries. and so it's not surprising that that's what's happening here. and what we need to do is find ways to get the voices from the poor countries legitimately into this conversation in a way that matters. well. i wanted to say in silver lining, we recently launched global youth initiative, which focuses on young climate professionals from around the world and particularly the goal so that we could try to get them engaged directly with the experts that we deal with both in the policy fear and the science here, but ultimately to enjoy his point about or her analogy which chronic virus.
7:49 am
one of the, you know, one of the realities of the situation is that the rich countries have resources to accelerate innovation and science quickly against some of these big systemic problems. and so for us, the question is, how do we leverage some of those rich country resources to make things to innovate and help make things available to the rest of the world, particularly where we have a serious safety crisis that's emerging, that's going to hit the developing world harder. so we were hopeful that there's a possibility for rich countries to invest resources in a way that it are his open and accessible to others and then allows them to participate in the decision about what ultimately to do. i realize that's a tricky line to walk that, that that's how we think. and now to one of my favorite conversations from the streams instagram life series. so the african actin nom,
7:50 am
zombie on batter spoke to my colleague just rushing recently about her korea. and the story behind landing a major role in the film coming to america. while view on instagram life said this is a beautiful interview. i have to say, i completely agree. take a look. could you go for a number of american movies before you landed coming to america? no. my 1st one. it was my child and i had just some people walk through life, charmed so many other edition. teach and had gone for so many go fees. and so many meetings with coffee director and my thought would come on and then it just happened and you know, i was in, i would be shooting some content for the human. and i got the call from my agent and it was like, you got to get like the for coming to america. this is the role. you know, you can send a tape, but i would say be in the room. so you're on set remaking. classic comedy you're
7:51 am
with one of the largest stars in the world. and you mentioned you had a bit of, of imposter syndrome then to did i did talk about it. i never thought that i would be able, i would experience it, you know, and that's a new and i, and i'm grateful that i've been able to be honest about it and speak out about it because i guess because about it, you know, everybody puts on the confidence suit and for me, i guess i just it was a crew of almost 300 people. coffin crew of almost 300 people. yes. shooting at the tyler perry studios, which has just been, you know, opened last week. and all the biggest hollywood world have been in attendance. and then you also rounded by, you know, hollywood royalty itself. that has been relevant over 3 decades
7:52 am
longer than i've been on and you have been passed to bring to, to be a part of this. and, and bring all the time and bring all attendant and, and believe that you deserve to be there. that's a lot of responsibility. and i remember just having a conversation with myself at the end of this particular day that we were shooting . it was one of the days of she is actually the 2nd day and it was eddie murphy. and so i go to my trailer and i'm changing and it's the end of the day and i'm changing, i think it was the why do you feel like this? why, anyone who would be in your shoes would feel so all in one would be who would feel? so when you fall and be floating and be boasting about it, why are you playing small? why are you diminishing yourself like this? and, and it was just on my mind and i thought the question, i guess when it comes to syndrome is why me and i guess the retaliation of the
7:53 am
fight in. yeah, it should be. why not? you isn't who and she, but the following day, sherry had me who played that queen lisa she pulled me to the side because we're doing some group picture and i was just like in the back like. and she just on the good side and she does in my shoulders and says, i have been where you are, you're playing small, don't do that. do that. and i remember just like boiling my i said anything, but clearly there was something that she felt in my energy and i sent both my eyebrows and she said, you're playing small,
7:54 am
stop playing small. i've been way you are. you deserve to be sure you deserve to be here. 100. you don't pay anything. i can tell that wisdom. yes, but you don't need to anything i can tell. so i know that you're un goodwill ambassador. you've done a lot of work in africa, refugee camps in malawi. i've been to many refugee camps myself, reporting all over the world, particularly the least. and i often found myself scratching my head on a lie. i've been so lucky in my life. maybe someone there hasn't and trying to understand how our lives have the same value we're we are experiencing the same existence on earth, but you know, the existence of living in l. a. when everything is going right, the existence of living and the serial refugee camp couldn't be more different, almost as if there are different lives on different planets. and i don't think i've ever fully reconciled it. i don't think i fully understood it,
7:55 am
but i know is i kind of go through this journey of being a journalist and thinking about it's one of the things i'm, i'm always trying to reconcile and always trying to understand how do you reconcile that? a lot that suspected i should speak about it in mind to talk about the u. s. t that exists. right. but i don't, i don't think i, i to have gotten to the point to reconcile with it. i remember the one time must have been february and i had just been to south sedan, which is, you know, still a very much water country and with all the tensions that they are, this is 2018 and 19, i think. and i had and you know, i had gone to my bon into in thought the done, which is the most remote refugee camp in the entire world, most remote. and i just come back and as i landing on landing in cape town,
