tonight on expose, the arrest of telegram ceo pavel dove in france marks new chapter in the crackdown on the application as government's push for access to users private data. despite the pressure, telegram's refusal to compromise on privacy has sparked a global clan. flash over digital freedom, and since

october 7, 2023, the genocidal war in gaza hasn't just ignited fierce battles. it's shaken up newsrooms too. journalists who dared to voice concerns even while reporting professionally have faced censorship or were pushed out, revealing the high stakes of speaking out. and finally, according to survey usa, 71% of washington democrats agree that social media companies should restrict misled. information compared with just 41% of republicans. welcome to expose, the show that leaves no stone on the turned. of i remember very well back in february on the bbc's flagship news. program news night,

author and journalist howard eric jacobson complained that britain's public broadcaster had been showing too many images of palestinian suffering in gaza. he blatantly said that in televising palestinian suffering in this way, bbc was taking a side and that while it was agonizing to see what is happening, there are reasons for it. yes, ladies and gents, this is exactly how vile and monstrous western mainstream media can get. if the case does not fit their narrative. here's why the time to explain more about it in fake news expos. it may seem odd that people like jacobson on the bbc are in acknowledging the massive levels of suffering in gaza, but in the same breath, demanding the world hears less about it, but this is not at all surprising. censorship has always been a necessary complement of genocide with the ongoing genocide in gaza, efforts to silence those who have... thought to raise

the alarm have taken a variety of forms. what forms do you bring us today for? thank you for having me. so the arrest of pavel durov, the ceo of the telegram messaging app. in france has uh reignited some pretty fierce global debates about the limits of digital freedom of speech, so in this war for control the internet, the potential significance of diov's arrest is quite difficult to overstate, so prosecutors say he was detained as part of investigation involving 12 criminal allegations, most of them related to complicity and serious crimes ranging from drug trafficking to uh the distribution of material related to child sex abuse. mind you, facebook, x and instagram all suffer from this. illegal content and it only takes a quick search to find it, which raises some serious questions behind the real reason that the telegram ceo was detained, so the the argument that tech companies should be held criminally liable for activities of people who are using their services is at best prejudiced, but i mean a less generous view

and a more accurate view would be that it's completely nonsensical, but nonetheless broadcast media since israel started its genocide against palestinians, has showed us all the true colors of nonsensical reporting. i agree uh, let's start with this dw report, which actually picked the story up in a way that 100% puts the blame on telegram uh, pinning it to be a platform that harbors illegal behavior, so let's watch this clip after durov was released from prison on bail and sent to court. okay, jurob's detainment came as part of inquiry open last month involving 12 alleged criminal violations, including complicity in selling child sexual abuse material, complicity in drug trafficking, fraud, getting organized crime transactions and refusing to share information with investigators when required to by law, for example, to combat terrorism. guess though underpinning all of this is what french prosecutors say is the role of telegram in organized crime, what does make

telegram attractive for illegal activities? well, it depends, one of the the things that people really. misunderstand about telegram is uh that telegram is actually um two different services, one of them is a set of channels and kind of group chats and unencrypted communications among large numbers of people, and the other is a uh way of talking to someone one-on-one with secret messages enabled deliberately uh will give you an end to end encrypted chat and these are two different things, one of them uh, the first is really more like facebook or the site that used to be twitter, and the second is more like whatsapp or signal or uh

facebook messenger messages. so it's nice for sure to see this dw presenter not get the affirmation he's looking for. when he's spreading the fake news that yeah, i liked her, she was giving it out, especially when the expert on encrypted messages explains to him that telegram is no different than facebook and it's encrypted messaging service uh um is no different than facebook messenger, so it goes to show that the real reason behind this uh attack on the telegram ceos because of the last bullet point which we saw on the dw report which read refusing information requests, meaning the telegram is only being targeted because those managing telegram refused to violate the privacy of the user. uh by of course allowing intelligence agencies to spy on them, you know, intelligence agencies of the free world, yeah, to have sneak peak at whoever whoever they choose, so the elephant in the room is indeed many of the issues at the heart of the debate were in fact largely settled decades ago in the us, the birthplace

the internet and the home of many of the world's most influential platforms, yeah uh, the communications decency act which was pack passed in 1996, provides broad immunity to internet providers for the content that they... uh host out of a recognition that a free speech and open internet couldn't exist otherwise, which is why durav is being detained in france uh after he was question by the fbi, like we can see in this interview with tucker carlson recently, let's take a look, let's see that, yeah there there is this second part which was probably more alarming there in the us, we got too much attention from the the fbi, the security agencies wherever we came to the us, so to give you example, last time was in the us, i brought an engineer that is working for telegram, and there was attempt to secretly hire my engineer behind my back by cyber security officers or agents, whatever they

are called, the us government should to hire your engineer, that's my understanding, that's what he told me to write code for them or to break into telegram, they were curious to learn which... open source libraries are integrated to the telegrams app, on the client side, and they were trying to persuade him to use certain open source tools that he would then integrate into the telegram's code that in my understanding would serve as backdoors, would allow the us government to spy on people who use telegram, the us government to maybe any other government, because the back door is backdoor, regardless of who is using, so unsurprisingly uh the fbi tried to buy off uh dirov's engineer so he could install certain coding in the uh open a back door so that intelligence agencies can violate the privacy the telegram provides for its users. so his arrest has sent a child uh through the tech scene where you know libertarian ideas about free speech and pr

privacy are widely champion yeah uh many tech entrepreneurs and internet freedom advocates argue that dov's arrest actually sets a really dangerous precedent and they've called for his release under the hashtag #free pavel while as we just saw us and european mainstream media as expected defends this violation of freedoms as always it's also really important to remember that telegram is hub for resistance media yes because it's it's major... the only place left for them to uh basically just say what they need to say and show their part of uh of the story, the narrative, the genocide uh ongoing in gaza. thank you very much f for your analysis. ladies and gents, stay tuned. next we have digital mainstream media. since october 7 of last year, the genocidal war on gaza has not only sparked intense battles on the... but also significant challenges within newsrooms. several journalists and media presenters have

faced censorship or were forced out of their positions for voicing their concerns about the war, despite maintaining professional standards in their reporting. here is sim with more about this issue. thank you sema. thank you mara for having me. pleasure. so this war uh has brought intense scrutinyy along with it and really hardcore actions being taken not only on the battlefield but in newsrooms. uh journalists and media presenters who reported very professionally on the war, in fact too impartially actually found themselves facing severe censorship or were even dismissed from their uh positions uh for voicing their concerns over unfolding events which any human being would have in such a situation uh point being if you are impartial in your work it doesn't mean that as human being you also have to be impartial but the bbc for instance began at the start since october. 2023 since 7 october censorship its employees after taking six

reporters off air and launched investigation into you know their social media post that supposedly you know supported uh the activities of hamas against israel so the financial times reported about this in a piece by daniel thomas and jim pickerd in london and hibba saleh in cairo called six bbc report is taken off air as probe launched over pro- palestine tweets so in this article the ft said the bbc broadcaster has strict rules on impartiality which cover its reporters activities on social media. posts that were tweeted or liked by bbc news arabic reporters, including those based in egypt and lebanon, appear to support palestine or criticize the position of israel. the bbc has now taken all six off air, though they have not been formally suspended, pending an urgent investigation into their activities, as bbc. employees, so the bbc censoring six of its middle east employees, this it

highlights a troubling uh trend that we've seen over and over again where these editorial decisions are increas increasingly influenced by a political pressure uh and nothing to do with journalistic integrity at all, and these employees who are you reportedly disciplined or have their roles restricted due to these views uh on the coverage of gaza faced severe limitations on their ability to provide balance reportings, i mean i personally know uh someone worked at bbc and left because of uh, tolerated it prior to 7 october, but how bad the coverage got afterwards is something not, can't stand it, it's not tolerable. so moving to abc news, last december, the australian broadcasting corporation sacked presenter antoinette latouf for resharing human rights watch post claiming that israel was using starvation as a weapon of war in gaza, so this isn't even prores. and stuff, just reporting, yeah, literally, so the abc had itself reported on this human rights watch

claim, actually, which uh, has since been repeated by the united nations and others, so a piece published by the guardian about this, written by amanda meade and daisy dumas back in june called antont latof was sacked by abc, fair workork commission fines, the guardian wrote, the commission found latof was asked to keep a low profile on social media and agreed, except for posting facts from reputable sources, quote unqute, the abc has strongly denied latof's dismissal was the result of outside pressure on the broadcaster, after the age reported that it had seen a chain of leaked whatsapp messages showing a campaign from pro israel lobbiists to have latof sacked days before her dismissal. latof is suing the abc in the federal court she should exactly for breaching its employee enterprise agreement by sacking her without a proper basis and without due process. this censorship

underminds abc's commitment to impartiality. alleged commitment to impartiality. and transparency, which are essential pillars of responsible journalism, any responsible journalism, so by suppressing these descenting voices within its own ranks, which are perfectly natural, it's perfectly natural that these descending voices exist, what abc actually does is it risks alienating its audience and alienating itself and compromising the quality of its reporting, but in reality what the this does um, you know, over the past 11 months um, "it's it's alienated its audience along with many others and it's really compromised, they've already did that, they've already uh showed their audience and other people that uh, even who are not within their audience like us for example who follow through to see how they are reporting that they are really just hypocrites - these to say, thank you very much, sima, you're going to stay with us because next ladies and gents we have social media expose, since zinus israel launched its

genocide." war on gaza on october 7, journalists and media across the world have faced a hostile environment that has made reporting of the war exceptionally challenging. this challenge expanded in its form to cover other controversial events and topics that usually do not align with the us and its allies narrative for global domination. here is see my time again with posts and more about this issue. thank you again for having me. so over the years there have been so many high profile cases of social media censorship that have sparked intense. debates and this is something that has gotten even more dangerous recently and the threat has entered like the physical world, but if you remember the one case was the banning of the forever yapping donald trump from from major social media platforms, yeah after the capital hill riots in january 2021, so this ignited heated discussion that went on for a while about the power of social media platforms to silence individuals and

what this means for free speech, so fast forward to 2023 and 2020. 24 and censorship really has been taken to a whole new level by governments and by social media giants themselves working hand in hand with zionist western governments to silence the masses, whether it's journalists or activists or influencers or everyday people uh voicing their horror at this genocide committed by zionist israel with the help of western regimes, and from then on uh new calls for more censorship arose, it feels like snowball effect almost and especially in... the last four five months, yeah, so let's begin with the us vice president herself, who is also running for president, which is why her statement rightfully scared many voters, or potential voters, um, radar on x posted in all caps, the following, kamala harris wants social media censorship, no, okay, then uh posted the following video of camala harris,

let's watch that, he has, he has lost his privileges and it should be taken down, and and the bottom line is that, "you can't say that you have one rule for facebook and you have a different rule for twitter, the same rule has to apply, which is that there has to be a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites to understand their power. they are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of of of oversight or regulation, and that has to stop. well, okay, yeah, not very bright the the future, so..." we have a post by also socialist voice criticizing the arrest of telegram ceo pavel durov in france recently over allegations, well the real reason is that he refuses to allow intelligence agencies to have back door into his encrypted messaging app. how dare he, which according to do uh would viol violate the privacy of telegram users, so which is exactly what they

want, but socialist voice uh posted the following, france slaps telegram ceo pavel jurov with 12. criminal charges after israel calls the platform uncooperative, telegram has been the least cooperative among the social media sites in responding to israeli censorship request during its genocide in gaza, so we have next another post by sl canthan who commented on brazil's decision to ban x way before elon musk even had a meltdown about an x, yeah, claiming that maybe brazil has point and... posted the following: x closes its operations in brazil rather than obliging with censorship laws. who knows? perhaps the us deep state is trying to do a color revolution, so after venezuela. and bangladesh, i wouldn't blame developing nations for being cautious about us social media, i mean we saw elon musk with venezuela, that was just insane, so next we

have a post that usually is repeated every year actually during the abbyine season, as you know, arbin is the arabic word for the number 40, which signifies the end of the 40-day morning period for imam hussain and his family and companions, yeah, so hannah, rafia posted on her account of... video from the arbine procession in iraq's cabala, so let's watch that now, okay, then posted the following caption above this video and photos of arabin saying, what is the reason for brian censorship in the world media in the if this lifestyle? is offered to people, what happens? will the failed western civilization have something to say? yeah, weird, because it's usually like 25 to 27 million visitors to karbala and nothing about

it in western media, mean what are they afraid of? right, acting like it's 10,00 people, yeah, so mara, it seems that uh staunch supporters of free speech who believe that censorship on social media is a direct violation of individuals rights to express themselves, will not cease to voice their concern about this. uh, because these policies are, continuous, these policies by these global powers and as we saw netizens all over the world argue that by limiting or banning any type of content uh social media platforms are infringing upon the principles of free speech, which is a cornerstone of democratic societies or at least should be, definitely, so would put which basically pushes away netisens from those platforms, which is why i'm gonna, i'm, i can't see like division in the... world concerning where we're going to be taking internet from uh next, not only which platforms are we going to uh be uh presentable on or use as a

platform for to to voice our concern about anything that happens in the world. thank you very muchah for your contribution to our show as always, now ladies and gents stay tuned because next we have figures expose. new state pool finds that slim majority of washington votes think social media platforms should crack down on misinformation and conspiracy theories heading into the 2024 presidential election. however, the data also reveals a huge gap between democrats and republicans on this issue. survey usa interviewed 801 washington registered voters online from july 10 to 13 after the first presidential debate and before the attempted assassination of former president donald trump. one survey... question was asked, should social media platforms restrict online content or accounts that share rumors conspiracy theories and or other misleading

information that could undermine trust in voting in us elections? overall 57% of respondents agreed that social media platforms should restrict such content, while 25% disagreed and 18% weren't sure, but when broke up... out along political affiliation lines, the survey shows huge 30- point spread between democrats and republicans on this issue. a clear majority of democrats, 71%, felt that such content should be restricted by social media companies, while only 41% of republicans agreed. independence, as you might expect, were in between at 53%. now let us move to the most notable expose voices for this week. "in the wake of the genocide on gaza, countless individuals who spoke up and support of palestinians or criticizes israel's actions found themselves silenced or

censored on social media platforms. posts were removed, accounts were suspended and voices were suppressed, creating a chilling effect on free expression. mondo was explained it well on tiktok. the censorship we're seeing on palestine right now is wild, speakers have been silenced. accounts have been removed and honestly, i am tired of telling people to read manufacturing consent, no one reads it. from now on, i'm telling america that this is cancel culture, and this war on free speech is nothing new. here is a website that's dedicated literally to cancel people who support palestine. it's actually a personal goal of mine to make it on canary mission. israel is spending millions of dollars on social media campaigns right now. the settler colonial state has always relied heavily on propagandizing the world and silencing. critics, trying its best to manufacture consent, or should i say inject you with the woke mind virus, whatever it takes for you to be against genocide, and with this white spread censorship, tik tok at

first stood out, by amplifying the voices that others tried to mute. however, tiktok has recently started joining the censorship wave, increasingly restricting pro-palestine voices its platform. i am blakeley explains it. this was my account and this is my account, but tiktok, you want us to keep calling congress for you. you guys are really out here banning accounts because people are talking about gaza, because people are talking about what's happening in palestine, because people talk about zionism, an ideology. you... you can't be out here expecting us to fight for this app and call our representatives relentlessly and tell them not to ban it and then you turn around and censor creators and i promise you no matter how much you try to capitulate to them they're not going to be satisfied they're not going to be happy you may as well leave this as the platform that allows people to express themselves and talk about the truth of what's happening in the world and keep it the platform that may people like it in the first

place instead of trying to bow down to these hobbies that want to get you banned anyway, ladies and gents, with that we conclude our expose for tonight right here on press tv. follow our handle at expose ptv on x, instagram, rumble and tiktok. stay tuned for more eye-opening investigations on expose. the truth is just a revelation away. from bad to worse, israeli economy is a war economy, israel's economy keeps sinking, now

the west bank has blown up. israel is calling for a gaza style invasion. if the war continues in gaza, if the genucide continues in gaza, there will be a massive impact on the israeli economy, even if they don't go into war with iran or hisb, and that could only mean more business closures and losses. israelis are fed up.

the headlines, israel pushes ahead with this genocide against palestinians in the gaza strip as the death thought from 11 months of attacks is nearing 41,00. the israely forces launch fresh raids into the west bank, firing live rounds and abducting several people across the occupied palestinian territory, and serious air defenses intercept the number of israely missiles as the regime's new air strikes on hamak province killed 14 people and injured nearly 20 others.
