different priorities was facebook to slow to stop the spread of video of last friday's much shooting at christchurch but also too swift to secretly silence accounts of political views savoring. if i put certain stories about serving a political issue i am shadow bad so. what my concern is when they continue to paint these kinds of things can be and this kind of stuff that's only going to perpetuate shadows. the venezuelan government still says the so-called occupation of its offices in the us after diplomats from the opposition for control of the consulate. and the story of the russian traitor queues of money laundering who's appealing for release from custody in greece has been held in now for more than
5:01 am
nineteen months without charge. how many of these are you in the hunger strike. you took eighty day. and still no answer. sounds. good afternoon this is out international live with me kevin i just had a mid day here in moscow oh first and facebook's been criticised for allowing video to be spread of last week's mass shooting in new zealand while being quick when dealing with political content it seems it doesn't like the country's prime minister's demanded answers from social media platforms over that live streaming of the terror attack on two mosques in christchurch that left fifty worshippers dead. i would call on our social media platforms of all variety to demonstrate the kind
5:02 am
of responsibility that both lead to these have been and that includes stars who have to pitch the messages in the aftermath there's a lot of work that needs to be down in the horrors that unfolded for about seventeen minutes the gunman live streamed the massacre on facebook shortly after copies of the video appeared on other social media outlets to the platforms did try to block the content but not before widespread public outrage. in the first twenty four hours that removed one point five million views of the attack globally of which over one point two million were blocked at a clode we continue to work around the clock to remove violating content using a combination of technology and people lose no we are working vigilantly to remove any violent footage facebook deleted the video after a warning from police authorities said the distribution of such content was punishable by imprisonment without a media and legal analyst line and also counterterrorism expert jennifer braden
5:03 am
about this and whether they thought tech giants should and could quick to block the video. i respectfully submit that when you show violence against human beings it's a form of pornography we have to as a society say no facebook you can do much better for kids for people who would see this not necessarily because it would inspire the next shooting which you very well could because these losers need some form of acclimation out of just human decency without bringing in the government as laws and penalties and we're hearing from officials government officials from the prime minister in new zealand talking about preventing future attacks like this and then going on to censoring when this attack happens how in the world does that prevent this attack we're spending so much time talking about we can have videos like this with as or so or think it might lead to more rather than answering questions that need to be asked i mean one of the main problems on the scene here is that we
5:04 am
continue to put band-aids on gunshot wounds and we need to stop that we need to stop putting band-aids on we need to stop saying let's just stop everybody from that it doesn't you know we can get rid of x. rated movies should it come down immediately yes should this be kept from the public yes take it down i want facebook and others abroad to have exactly when you have whatever attitude allow your world or not they have we're talking to you now and you're going to be lucky if you you know they're talking about arguing people will hardly blinded from these sightings will fellow lying dead but you're not talking about how will this prevent it nobody's talking about provide to the question that should be banned them say yes and what i want facebook to do is if i put certain stories about certain political issues i am shadow bad show fast and i want them to use that technology in their genius to figure out wait a minute we're having somebody right now people are being killed this is going to come down from our platform what my concern is when we continue to ban these kinds
5:05 am
of things can ban this kind of stuff that's only going to perpetuate shadel ban and that's something i agree should never happen but we're giving. subject and hour and authority to social media platforms to never run tense that is now so when to hurt us later we don't know who they're going to not like it's all subjective no matter what kind of computer algorithm at the end of the day it will be subjective now listen dr burke do me a favor if you see somebody shooting and killing people shut it down or talk about it later don't have a debate do you think that maybe we're giving one person die die die die die die the right to automatically and who's to say whether this could one day be done today people being shot dead whether this might include war coverage or rep or how many people would support mean that while as we're debating this there is some kid somewhere which we never talk about watching this seeing real time slaughter or the
5:06 am
families of these people or whatever of this is violent pornography yes this is horrible that i never want to see this i never want my children to see this i don't want any person to be subject to this kind of violence in this horrible obscene material these publications but this is what i have seen governments cannot stop this these companies cannot stop this people who post something positive about donald trump are being taken off of social media because of social media heads and managers and so we want them to ban other things instead of us and that is my main thing is that they can't they will not well a conversation went on other concerns to facebook's facing public discontent not just over its handling of content and video but also for how it treats personal data it's been a year you know since the scandal broke political consulting firm cambridge analytic it it reportedly bought personal data from facebook which you then sold on to third parties or used it to gain political advantage don't call to looks at whether or not facebook's privacy policies have changed much in the last twelve months or might say facebook's had
5:07 am
a productive year in its fight against fake news perhaps you've seen their war room . read the headlines. and heard the assurances we've deployed new ai tools that do a better job of identifying fake accounts that may be trying to interfere in elections or spread misinformation mark zuckerberg has gone after both sides of the political spectrum from alex jones to the russia friendly left it's also been a year since it broke that the social media giant had sold off the data of eighty million users to a political advertising firm transferred facebook data to cambridge emulated personal data mined from nearly eighty seven million facebook users the largest security breach in the company's history this is this is
5:08 am
a challenge for foreign companies so what is facebook actually done aside from zuckerberg saying sorry that is now it was a big mistake no it was a mistake and it was my mistake and i'm really sorry that this happened i'm sorry and i'm sorry for it spoiler alert and not a lot facebook promised a forensic audit of cambridge analytic but never delivered then they said they'd look into apps with suspicious activity and punish those who broke privacy rules the last we heard of that was august twenty eighth team and then there was the promise of a new option to clear personal information from the platform if the user wants facebook said that the changes would only take a few months back in may last year and we're still left empty handed but will facebook come out unscathed the research or behind the cambridge analytical app is suing facebook for defamation alex did not lie alex was not to for all its alex did not deceive them this was not a scam facebook knew exactly will this app was doing was should have known facebook
5:09 am
desperately needed to scapegoat and alex was the scapegoat at the same time a british newspaper is reporting that some facebook shareholders may have been complicit in the data harvesting and the buck doesn't stop there either the federal government is now investigating how zuckerberg treats client privacy. to see deeks very seriously recent press reports raises substantial concerns about the privacy broke this is so facebook it's been a year since the biggest privacy scandal in social media but at least facebook scott the rounder censoring alternative media donald quarter r.t. . supporting greece is due to reconsider the case of a russian bitcoin entrepreneur xander vinick he spent nineteen months those far in custody exceeding the maximum term then for detention without charge but it was arrested in greece and twenty seventeen after the us accused him of laundering four billion dollars for a bit coin trading platform since then washington paris and moscow have all been

legal at the time of his arrest as there was no government regulation of cryptocurrency use it was absolutely legal and it continues to be so identical exchanges exist in huge numbers and no arrests are made over them. but it may be more simple he was russian and he consulted a huge financial business that the us did not control is what justice is there to speak of when according to greek law international law he should have been released but what we all understand is that this is a political case for now been equal continue to serve a sentence he was never given and he will continue to watch his family being torn apart levels and here being treated once he's there. starving the children are just there waiting and they don't know what will happen which of us will come back me

politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express what you. want to. achieve right. this is what the. people. interested always in the why. should. i get in so as much before the break britain's prime minister is facing a new set of her own going broke now the speaker of the house of commons says there could be no meaningful third vote less significant changes have made all this with less than two weeks to go now before the u.k. is supposed to leave the european union fully boyko part of a team of the u.k.

reports. if you go out and ask for your homework which you take it back to the teacher and try to get him to change the grade simply because it was coming up to exam time and you really needed to pos most people wouldn't but that's pretty much what your reason may was trying to do with her beleaguered brags it would draw all deal it's been rejected by politicians twice already and yet we've been hearing very humid. ever since last week that the government was planning to bring the unchanged deal back for politicians to vote on for a time this week the only difference of course would be that the risk of a no deal bragg's it or no brags it through a lengthy delay would be increased because we're so close to britain's departure date from the e.u. so that might have made m.p.'s change their mind and sort of choose to resign may's
