rethinking everything i'm making may to change with you reviewed this week on d. w. ah, ah, this is deed of new news live from berlin, a class action challenge by twitter workers. after the new boss ilan last plays off nearly half the workforce. he says it's to make the platform profitable. twitter workers reply, see you in court. are also coming up here,

pin governments begin clamping down again on like ration as ports are closed and borders tightened. dw follows the many people trying to enter the in you through the so called full coverage. ah, i'm public only as welcome to the program. employees are twitter file, a class action lawsuit against the company's new owner. ellen musk that's after officers were close to head of mass layoffs reportedly targeting half of twitter staff. mosque says he's looking to cut costs following his $44000000000.00 take over of the social media platform. twitter the san francisco headquarters shut down on friday as ellen musk mass firings got underway. soon, former staff were posting messages on the platform about how abruptly they were

sacked, saying they'd been locked out of their work accounts with little information. some are already suing over the lack of advance notice. only way to go with find out would be not any phone call or any now from their employer or their boss. but just by seeing their for their work laptop automatically re boots and just to go blank. that's the way people would find out. but musk has defended the cuts. saying twitter is losing millions of dollars a day. oh, if you're in town and ha, ha ha! before yeah, sorry, and i wrote major knoxville some assistance in right in our operations at all. but while must focuses on saving money.

critics fear that such drastic cuts to twitter staff will leave the platform used by hundreds of millions, struggling to deal with hate speech and misinformation. earlier i spoke to eleanora mazily, a researcher in data networks and society of the london school of economics. and she told me that the layoffs have concerning implications for twitters ability to counter dis information. these are extremely challenging time for twitter, and it's still rather unclear to some extent which teams and department if need be mostly affected. but as we've seen tweets by this child, the social media company said that some of the people response over communication, content curation, humor rides, machine learning ethics, where among the people laid off. and this is extremely worrisome, as it can potentially jeopardize the company ability to come from is information and to be the democratic town or the mask wants it to be. and here we go back again to ellen, must control of use and quantum moderation. social media require moderation,

it's an intrinsic part of their intermediary services that they provide to people, curating, and moderating. it is part of the essence and if to, to wants to become a democratic town. all welcome to moderation policies and ground rules to do though to become so are needed. and this rules are not vital just for the functioning of the platforms itself. but also for freedom of expression from a expression is not simply an individual, right, but he works collectively when people are free to express their views, debate, but also not having users to dominate and abuse others. and a huge amount of efforts has been put bestsellers aside organization research and policy maker and social media themself to ensure the space is like twitter, do not end up like nation extreme platforms like gab, which is a known for aids conspiracy theories, spread of and is information and my dream is to nationalist user base, so we're kind of going backwards and he's extremely worrisome, especially in and very political and certain time. all right, well let's talk about m twitters revenue because currently a comes from advertising, but several big companies have put their advertisements on hold. how damaging am is

this for twitter? this is extremely damaging. i'm in twitter, other to, to advertising accounts for 90 percent of twitches revenues and the company might not survive. it continues down this path and we've seen that the service is experiencing a massive drop in revenues because some of the big advertising brand sort of halted advertising among the concerns about the companies clinton motivation policies and dis, potential rise of misinformation and decline of user base but also security protection, and this is not actually surprising to some extent because of it. i don't want to be associated with a toxic environment where social media platform is information is information hate speech. an illegal content can freely circulated, can have an impact on their brands. so if they prioritize safety or brand safety concerns over their presence of twitter, of course they're going to hold and a take a strategy of wait and see what's going to happen. and given the competition for advertising, revenues is extremely fierce at the moment. among social media companies,

there are other option where other ties could turn to. so i think it can have damaging impact on a, on twitter sustainability. and it's definitely not a wise decision from a business perspective, either alone or m as only from the long, long and school of economics. thank you. thank you. that's get you up to speed now on. so more of today's top stories, environmental activists serve rushed onto the tarmac at amsterdam ski pole airport to block private jets from departing hundreds had originally gathered around the airport for a demonstration against pollution. it's the latest in a series of attention grabbing protests by climate activists across europe. from extension, rebellion and green. iran has acknowledged for the 1st time that the country has supplied russia with drones. ron's foreign minister says that a limited number had been sent, but before the war in ukraine started. he also says they were no longer being supplied. moscow denies using iranian drones in ukraine.
