transparent about the nature of its content moderation system. this is the system of human and algorithmic actors that's responsible for flocking and deleting posts that end up getting taken down. and we simply don't know enough about how they work to really know whether this was an intentional or unintentional, technically. but at what i would say, and what many palestinian activists and journalists in human rights groups have said repeatedly, is that you know, at some point if you're making the active choice as is being such an enormous company with so many resources not to invest and really taking the seriously, not just an arabic language, which is to stomach lee and discriminated, and you know, translated in really poor ways over time and in other languages as well. that shows where your priorities are. and that shows that you're intending to not take something seriously. and intending not to make investments in things that really impacts people's lives and safety. so to me, that is intentional in some ways a 2 or 3 now where the final campaign rallies have been held ahead of sundays, general election, a full prime minister, just because they speak to

a large crowd in rome. but your post, jesse will not come out on top. predictions just to far right coalition will win. well, one of the 1st priorities, the new government, will be rising energy prices. stephanie decker, a post now from naples, where the cost of living has become more expensive. ah, it's a routine and a recipe that has been handed down to generations. continuity is guaranteed success . but decades of hard work, i now at risk y'all out fortune punitive i been a baker for 40 years. the situation as it is they are never been so bad with the gas and electricity bills increase in getting the costs are raw material. becker in the sense of risk of collapsing. we're sounding the lar, if there is no bread on the table. so battalions, there is a risk about horrible ocean energy prices of sort this time last year. this was dominique was bill no electric, and now resource will go and increase of around 600 per cent. i think to be safe.

economists say it's unsustainable. a lot of only diarrhea was going baron logan for italy. this coming winter will be the toughest yet the storm of the energy crisis one hit us at the end of 2021. and then with the war with ukraine, things become far more complicated than is, italy is worse off than other you. countries, as we rely more on imported energy and meaning it is more vulnerable to the fluctuations of a gas and electricity markets. i wonder why misha, ah, and yet somehow, while walking around, you don't feel how bad things are. the streets here in the city center of naples are busy tourism is booming. it's very difficult to find a hotel room, but this isn't indicative of the real economic crisis that is unfolding here, affecting small family run businesses which make up around 90 percent of companies here in italy. which basically means it's affecting everyone at the morning market . the answer is the same, just as to say, the gear demo, vancleve. we're all in this crisis together. we need at least 200 euros

a week to buy food. and that's just the basics. there's no room for any extras here on, on java. so i don't make it at the end of the month, everything has increased gas light, everything is all right, and my pension doesn't increase. robin's yield. we ask her if she thinks the elections will change anything in the log arrival door? no, i won't go to holland yet. i'm telling you straight up like an appellate honor. i will have her get selected. it's so the same mass. for now the bread continues to rise as do the bills. you all are not brought up. our worries that will chair with political call of come to power with the selection. the problem will not be fixed. so people's anger, we bowler, opinion polls suggest a far right wing coalition could when sundays, vote with italy's 1st female prime minister, whatever the political predictions, the economic forecast is a, this is only going to get worse and for whoever wins these elections that may have
