exist. but the bottom line is you have these federal officials who say the men were operating directly at the behest of a chinese government official, and one of the defendants here allegedly helped locate a pro-democracy activist who was working out in california. this was an activist of a chinese descent living in california they were basically cracking down on this, as well. said to include 100 of these clandestine police stations. 100 in all according to a human rights group around the world. >> you are saying there are other police stations in other parts of the world that the chinese government is operating? a separate group tied to the chinese government was charged. what do you know about that? >> yeah. federal prosecutors just unveiled these separate charges yesterday against more than three dozen officers with china's national police force for using social media t harass dissents within the united states right now. well, those charged are abroad the doj is accusing -- i want to

get this right they accused them of creatin fake social media accounts of critics living in the u.s. covertly spreading propaganda. this is all an attempt by th justice department to crack down on beijing's influence here in the united states. as you noted from the start, this will only raise tensions between the two countries. >> right on our doorstep here, peter. thank you very much on that breaking news. we turn to today's delayed start to the closely watched trial, the defamation lawsuit by voting machine maker dominion against fox news nbc's stephanie gosk joins us from the courthouse in wilmington, delaware good morning. >> reporter: as you mention, this trial was supposed to start on monday. and then the judge issued an unexpected delay without giving a reason there were reports that there were last-minute settlement negotiations underway, but neither side would comment nbc news has not confirmed those reports. the judge says the trial starts today. with the start of the landmark trial finally here, some of fox news's biggest stars could be taking the stand in the coming weeks, along with company heads,

including 92-year-old fox corporation chairman rupert murdoch. at the center of the case, 20 statements following the 2020 presidential election. president trump's lawyers were repeated guests on fox news claiming dominion voting machines rigged the election. >> the machine ran an algorith shaved votes from trump and awarded them to biden. >> at the center of it all, dominion voting systems, are they the culprit here? not the only culprit, but are they the principal culprit? >> reporter: all of the allegations false, judge eric davis says writing in a recent decision the evidence was crystal clear none of the statements relating to dominion about the 2020 election are true. but dominion will have to prove actual malice, that fox published lies knowingly or with reckless disregard for the truth. a necessary standard for a democracy, say legal experts >> otherwise, we're going to create a chilling effect where it is actually hard for people to get information.

>> reporter: according to court documents, fox news argues it gave context and informed their audience at every turn that the allegations were just allegations. in a statement, fox news saying dominion's lawsuit is a crusade in search of a financial windfall but the real cost would be cherished first amendment rights less than two weeks after the election, fox was facing a backlash audience numbers down by more than 30%, according to court documents. november 12th, a fox white house correspondent challenged mr. trump's claims about the election tucker carlson texted sean hannity, please get her fired. it's measurably hurting the company. the stock price is down. the next part of a mountain of evidence that has been released publically fox argues much of it cherry picked to hurt the network's reputation a rare behind the scenes look after one of the country's most contentious elections. one of the key questions in this trial is going to be who had editorial control over these broadcasts

the judge explicitly said that dominion's challenge will be connecting that person or people to the specific shows in question savannah, back to you. >> stephanie gosk at the courthouse thank you, stephanie. 7:13 a lot more to get to welcome craig to the table. good morning >> good morning. good morning to you. breaking overnight new protests in akron ohio tied to a fatal police shooting there. demonstrators taking to the streets after a grand jury declined to indict eight officers in the death. of 25-year-old jay long walker jesse, good morning to you >> reporter: craig, good morning. you can see several store fronts in downtown akron boarded up however, other businesses look as if this is any other main street usa this morning. we have not heard word from police over possible arrests overnight. but demonstrations have been largely, if not entirely, peaceful in an unsettled community.

[voice v vibrating]] we're back at 7:37 "in depth today. this morning the intense show down over tiktok. >> as lawmakers in washington look at the wildly popular app one state decided to take action on its own montana banning tiktok on nearly all devices. >> we have two reports for you we will start with gadi schwartz good morning. >> good morning. montana's bill would make it illegal to download tiktok in the state, but not illegal to use if you already have it on

your phone experts say the state' republican governor signs it into law, it will almost certainly end up in court. >> reporter: montana tiktokers saying they are not happy about the prospect of their favorite app being banned in big sky country. >> it is absolutely dumb and ludicrous for the state of montana to be banning tiktok. >> if it's such a huge threat to our national security, we need to know exactly what that threat is nobody's telling us. >> reporter: but the bill's sponsor says the threat from china is clear she hopes to send a message to washington >> after years of investigative reporting, we now know this to be true. tiktok endangers the safety of montanans and america at large. >> reporter: already half the states in the country bill the app on federal phones.

this bill backed by montana's gop controlled legislature would go even further, penalizing mobile app stores or tiktok up to $10,000 a day it does not apply to individual tiktok users and wouldn't take effect until january 2024. some small business owners who depend on the app for marketing say they don't like the idea. >> i would say this is -- trying to ban tiktok is censorship. >> reporter: a spokesperson for tiktok called the bill egregious government overreach and said the issue will be decided in court, adding the bill's champions have admitted they have no feasibility plan for operationalizing this attempt to censor american voices the bill claims tiktok gathers significant information and accesses users' data against their will to share with the people's republic of china testifying before congress last month, tiktok ceo said it is not controlled by the chinese government >> has byte dance spied on the country? >> i don't think that's spying is the right way to describe it.

>> reporter: the white house has given the company an ultimatum sell the app or face a ban in the u.s. >> bill 419 has passed the house. >> reporter: until then, legislators in this deep red state say tiktok represents a threat more significant than any high altitude balloon. >> it certainly fell short of china's other surveillance tool, tiktok. >> once this bill reaches the governor's bill, the governo has ten days to act on it. the governor hasn't commented on it specifically yet. at that time writing we will defend the state of montana against all who pose a threat to security and our way of life. guys >> thank you >> let's bring in nbc's tech correspondent jake ward. good morning to you. before we get into, you know, the practicalities of this and whether it is enforceable, you have said in the past i think is so fascinating, that social media is essentially an incredible surveillance opportunity, whether it be a

chinese-government tied business or any corporate entity. they can watch and see everything >> that's right. we know the term applied to this whole business model is surveillance capitalism, whether it is a chinese-owned company or an american owned company. the whole point of social media as a business model is keeping track of what we are doing, what we are interested in, what we're likely to do next and, of course, physically where we are. that has been the essence of it for all this time. i spoke to one security intelligence expert who said a generation ago the idea that you could actually have something as effective as this, you know, would be unimaginable to any sort of national intelligence service. the fact that we all have it walking around on our phones is just an absolutely unimaginabl thing from a national security perspective. >> if this ban goes into effect, how do we figure out who downloaded that app? people who already have the app get to keep the app. i guess that would mean new downloads. how are they going to survey it? >> so many things to sort out here

and, you know, the thing about montana lawmakers is they may not be the ones that have to figure that out, contrary to what tiktok says there about not having an operational idea of it really all that the lawmakers in theory have to do is say this is banned in state borders and then it becomes up to the providers to sort that out we know technologically it is feasible companies can figure out where you are. pretty easily based on the cell phone signal and location. but what happens at that point, right? if you walk feet five out of the state, what happens then what if you are in one of the seven sovereign territories inside montana that are tribal all of that is very, very complicated. we know as of january 1st, 2024, if this goes forward, there would be a $10,000 a day fine for tiktok, for users of tiktok within the borders but the most important thing here, guys, is it would not be us, the users of tiktok, that would pay that fine. there would be no charges for

them it would be just a fine levied against the company. and how that would all work needs to be sorted out both technically and in court. >> it sounds like a lot has to be sorted out. jake, the reality is that it's not just teenagers doing whacky dances on tiktok you do have some small businesses that use tiktok to advertise. what -- i mean, isn't it like whack-a-mole even if they shut down tiktok. wouldn't you just get another tiktok a few months from now, a few years from now doing the same thing >> this is the thing, guys there is no federal data privacy law or data transparency law experts i'm speaking to basically say knocking down this one platform will make no difference in the long run, you will have another one come along it is not until we have a federal standard that we will get around this world. in which we are creating a patchwork of laws, which is complicated for americans and

very complicated for the companies trying to reach us all. >> what's spect about tiktok is that it's a national security concern because it's the chinese government the communist party of china that's the key difference here but the larger issues, of course, jake, you have outlined them well. thank you. >> thank you, jake all right. 7:44 let's go to mr. roker again to check the forecast. >> we're not looking at you. we're telling you what's happening in your neck of the woods. didn't mean to say that. 23 million people under fire weather watches, red flag warnings from the southwest with wind gusts of over 45 miles an hour low humidity also in the mid-atlantic states. fire and ice basically look at this 17 million folks under frost advisories, freeze warnings from iowa city down to hazard, kentucky, whose temperatures this morning 27, 32 fort wayne 39 in evansville the central part of the country looking at warm weather. look at this denver, 77 13 degrees above average chicago, though, cooler than average by four degrees. new york at 58 that's four degrees cooler than

allows the entertainment company self-rule in florida. >> this is basically a sham agreement. >> reporter: the clash started last year when disney opposed florida's parental rights and education law, which opponents call don't say gay bill. it bans classroom discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. desantis also now floating the idea of the state developing land next to disney world. >> maybe try to do more amusement parks. someone even said like, maybe you need another state prison. who knows? >> reporter: the renewed political brawl comes as desantis ramps up his travel nationwide ahead of a possible presidential run speaking to supporters last week in ohio, virginia and new hampshire. >> we have made florida the state where woke goes to die. >> reporter: but his poll numbers are dropping after attacks from donald trump. >> ron desantis is being crushed in the polls all of them. >> reporter: and while desantis

>> yeah. it includes explosive new allegations against their late father jacob soboroff is here with more. good morning. >> good morning to you guys. this is an incredible story. two brothers found guilty of murdering their parents in their beverly hills mansion. they have long maintained it was self defense they claim they were sexually abused by their father for years and their mother turned a blind eye. now possibly giving the brothers a chance at freedom after more than three decades behind bars >> reporter: in the 1990s, the trials and story of eric and lisle menendez captivated the country. the brothers convicteded of murdering their parents. >> the jury recommended life in prison without parole. for gunning down their parents. >> reporter: in the trial all testimony of sexual abuse wa deemed inadmissible, the judge citing irrelevance now for the first time, another victim of jose menendez is coming forward with accusations of sexual abuse.

it could mean a chance at freedom for the menendez brothers. >> it is time for the world to know the truth. >> reporter: in a new docuseries, he says he was molested by then head of rca records. >> i know what he did to me at his house. >> reporter: he performed from the age of 13 to 16. the group known for giving ricky martin his start it was formed and managed by diaz he says diaz also sexually abused him and at one point brought him to menendez's new jersey home where he says menendez drugged and raped him. >> that's the guy there, that raped me this guy that's the pedophile. >> reporter: how old are you there? >> 14 years old. >> reporter: journalists make the connection while working on another story. >> he's also this key witness in this other spectacular crime.

>> reporter: rand delivered the news to the brothers, who are currently rving life sentences without parole for their crimes. >> we have found somebody who we believe was abused by your father >> okay. >> how do you feel about that? >> uh, i, frankly, to be honest, sir, i feel horrible it's sad to know there was another victim of my father. you know, i always hoped and believed that one day the truth about my dad would come out. but i never wished for it to come out like this the result of trauma that another child has suffered and it makes me very sad. >> it was pretty overwhelming to hear that. we've heard rumors that something might have happened through the years. it's a remarkable thing for something to happen decades later.

of course, you know that would have made a difference at trial. certainly that would have made an enormous difference because the entire trial centered on the belief about these events. >> reporter: eric menendez says he remembers seeing him in his home as a child. >> my dad was one of the guys that was choosing and selecting the new members of the group i remember specifically taking one of the kids and going off and saying he wanted to talk to him alone and they went off into the house upstairs. >> what has to happen for the menendez brothers to sort of see the light of day to breathe free air? first they have to file a petition the petition has to be reviewed by a superior court judge. the judge has to grant a new trial and the defense has to win at trial so those procedural and factual hurdles, that's a big mountain to climb is this a glimmer of hope? it is a glimmer. >> reporter: the three boys wh say they were betrayed now men seeking justice.

>> hopefully it will make a difference, you know, you would think in a fair world. that it would. whether we live in that fair world, really, i guess we'll find out >> we will be watching this very closely to see if the menendez brothers filing a petition with all this new evidence. they exhausted an appeal this is a chance for new movement in this case we reached out to diaz for comment on the allegations he hasn't responded but has continuously denied them in the past the trailer is out today you can catch the entire series when it premiers on may 2nd only on peacock. >> jacob, thank you. >> thanks, guys. >> i remember that trial well. >> thank you much more ahead this morning, including adriana brock. we will get that jean jacket for al this morning. but first, this is "today" on nbc.
