rules their state. the method uh is this credit thing itself the most goes on since the company bands all t and other russian media outlets across this platform shuts down comes down to the us state departments combs for a global touch of our network. the south african media review networks, lambs, methods, bonding, t saying then these proves freedom of speech puzzle. wasting a minute. plus i also think there are americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases, criminal a charge is something that would be a better deterrence. for me, us top diplomats on democrats, henry clinton suggests prosecuting americans for spreading information that

washington decides to suppress the a will welcome to you because on the international broadcasting live from moscow, it's good to have you with us up story. meta is this credit so we can get so that's the reaction from kremlin spoke. suppose in dimitri passcodes, of the us tech joint message, which items facebook and instagram and find the several russian news networks, including all to the company accuses us of engaging a deceptive influence. operations on the tends to evade detection. after careful consideration, we expanded our ongoing enforcement against russian state media outlets versus the gardner r c and other related. and these are now banned from our apps globally for foreign interference activity program. and just curious if that's a, this is outright discrimination nu,

metal is discrediting itself with these actions. and of course, such selective actions against flushing media are unacceptable. we take this extremely negatively and this of course complicates the prospect for the normalization of our relations with meto. the pages all the russian news outlets in question are no longer available to use as having already been banished from the social media platforms pointing to the bottom all to have a 7000000 follow us on facebook, on the southern 1000000, all the instagram across the wealth i'll tell you is lorina calls or if i told my call, they came to know new me of course it all started was those new sanctions by the us state department and right after that, wouldn't you know, metal have us bands, but of course meadows. a link to washington has been very well documented. this is not the 1st time mark, soccer burke has spoken out saying that his company, facebook was pressured into sensor and new content there. and he now says that he regrets to coming to the processor,

and no doubt he will regret this decision in the future as well. if he hasn't already, because we are no longer talking about a shadow bad. where before he could get around that with a vpn, for example, and still watches in washington for example. but now if you access, say, you are not prepared, you want to watch are to you tens because it's been wiped out. and if this shouldn't be something that is up to washington, it shouldn't be up to one country to bang content around the world founded in your own country, if that's what it is. but no thanks to one country. this is what happens. russian reputation this information to subvert and polarize freeing open societies, extends to every part of the world and response. today, the united states, united kingdom and canada, are launching a launching a joints diplomatic campaign to rally allies and partners around the world to join us in addressing the threat posed by r. t and other machinery of russian just information and corporate influence. each government, of course, is going to decide how it responds to this threat. but we are, is every,

every partner to start by treating ortiz activities as they do other intelligence activities by russia within their borders. washington is basically saying that everyone who works at archie, the correspondence the during the less the present or is that they're all spies and that they're working on behalf of the crime and those, those other assertions. and they are saying that basically governments around the world should treat us as such. ortiz also saying, we shouldn't have to come out to deny such allegations. we, of course, do at russia itself also. so it denies the allegations against russian media as a whole. hoster being reaction to this at latest sump. done this, this shutting down of r t. yeah, you get tired of the sun's in your own actions. at some point it becomes ridiculous, but it can because it continues were heard from the foreign ministry. spokesman marie is a har vasa corpus and information war. and that also, she also said that they chose some of them in some jealousy, on their behalf,

another shutting this down because they can compete with us fairly. so this is the only thing that they can resort to is make sure that we're not there at all. and also, it's interesting how they said that one of the reasons why they're doing this is because we're sold goods at the ukranian propaganda them because of us. this is the reason why that people are believe and russia and are not supporting their ukrainian efforts as much. this is all on us, not their actions on that. people are seeing the full picture. they're putting all of that down on archie and of course we also heard from so the level of the foreign minister who echoed those comments and also said that it shows that the united states is moving somewhere which is far beyond this whole freedom of speech anymore . it's something completely different to georgia order, what george orwell had a very rich imagination and historical foresight. but of course, even he could not even imagine what the tow tyler terri in state would look like.

to describe some of its outlines, it was unable to dive into the depths of the tow tyler terry. and as we are now witnessing within the framework of the so called rules based on his own incumbent leaders in washington to simply suppress any defend have of course, surpassed him with this is tyler terry in ism, and its purest forms. and the, and so that you have it, those are the comments from the start of the lab rove. and of course, so this continues, we're not surprised by this at all, because this has been happening for a long time now, the west trying to suppress the voice is coming from russia and those who agree with russia. when you make a charge against someone or some entity, you present the evidence and you say this is why we're doing it. this is what we have. and this is why we're making such a decision of this magnitude. how's that being put forward? no, all the claim is that we have apparently units here are 2 thirds liaison with the kremlin, with the intelligence services. this is all they have. they have thoughts and also the mounting mounts of voices that are now not supporting your credit. so those are

the only 2 reasons, that's the thing. it's a grid headline. but then when you dig beneath thought you need substance. exactly, and there is no substance. and there was also this argument that well, it far too boston or something, the legal why was no corresponding charged in the united states. why i went on to legal proceedings because this is just to basically wars and the same time you have a washington, the us state department which has been in, is for fear and the social media in the country, which is spread around the world. and yet that is a freedom of speech that is democracy. that's a big difference in our state funded media. i believe. you mean no one in this building gets to tell anyone that v o a or a fee or are out what to say do are right. they ask us questions and we answer them . that's the difference between a state funded media organization in a democracy and one in an authoritarian government. the leader of r t is admitted that that's what she does and they do. and we've now given you

a norm as examples of how dangerous it is around the world, and i sure hope it meets your definition of something new. and wanting to know in a couple of days after that's metal band us. where is the democracy here? where's freed also, which of this is the definition of freedom of speech? we have it here in russell. you can watch whatever you want in the west. you can and there also effects in other countries like i keep bringing this example. if you're in india, or if you're in africa for example, and you want to go on facebook, or you want to go on instagram and watch ortiz, you to not all because of boston to. and this is something that, of course, are to that is for and she's migrate this one young also pointed out, which is really cool. it's very easy to promote freedom of speech and practice it when it's only your speech that counts and no one else's. what's even more amusing is that they accused organizations of collaborating with intelligence services, which implies were some kind of intelligence unit ourselves. that's absolutely nonsense. we're not any part of the intelligence services. perhaps we would like to

be. maybe we could hide better if that were the case, but we've learned differently were journalists and we continue to do our journalistic work. well, this is freedom of speech according to rosa, and the west can continue sensor and concepts and produce in free almost speech their way. while we've been digging into the dates, house of the meta band. and it turns out today that that early as a day to thousands before instagram and facebook pages were taken down, mess has policy dates as well and expectedly altered. this comes 15 months off of the previous update. however, it changes to the times. and previously i cut that once any, every 2, yes, questions. and that will be announced whether the latest update came off the pressure from us so far it. these are the american journalists tucker calls and interviewed former state department of visual michael bens, who explained how washington controls social media. a facebook is totally dependent on the us state department, the, the set, the intelligence services and,

and to some extent, the, the long range strength of the pentagon to protect facebook data monopolies to protect its advertising revenue. to protect it from laws like the digital markets act and digital services act, which is so. and then this has come out as well. and i was at the state department when i was called bikes, 9 google lobby, as you know, told me that the, that the, the number one threat to google is business model over the next 5 years is the digital markets act and digital services act. they need the protection of big data, the state department for favors for their profits. and so they play ball with the state department, censorship demands in order to preserve that, but they are under the barrel of it and people like mark soccer but right now are feeling like they're there. they're there which and because they gave the state department and they gave the body to ministration. everything they asked for in terms of censorship, demands and they're still being bullied by them. joining us from nigeria. now it says here in k t pon african has done, some of late activists fail at cutesy many thanks for joining us on. the program is

good to see. so we just had formed a us state department official, michael bens, that revealing how mehta is essentially a pool of the american government. now in light of his revelations, what do you make of the platforms band of russian state media including aussie oh, well, to me and i've always seen um, social media outside of social media. is there any receipt on this should be expressed on any of the forms you know b, r t b, just me try it and see so the, let's just do the plastics and, you know, these portfolios are lots of geared towards, for me to most check mean freedom of speech, that digital modes capital, at least at least for getting back to the world. based on not the worst, it creates mass destruction of the people to i mean the humans

i, i for one usually like to use the to r t g 0 on see and, and i need to get a balanced view of the world votes. you know, one of the believe that one of the big cost of you, $6.00 of you to at least is to make everybody do to one thing. you know, and i think the worthy displacing. that's right. now you need be all the one to be that one will be for 1st. why be a good? that's because one thing i get are, is interesting that just hours before finding out a mess to update to this terms of service, to say that it doesn't allow accountants that engage and so cool for an instant fare. and so what's your assessment of that narrative being used against on that? what do you need just like doing the american election? the 2016 not in the entire american policy cause is to show new

prospect, are talking about a rush added to parents, the america issues. we all know the country that goes around the world to charity and people's party to cause i'm so show independence. i mean, you push o r t that has used a gun that you've destroyed as a you can, will shop the rock of damage done vietnam. i mean the least, the list, the least the into at least goals of america on the weekends distributing other people. so the team, i mean the every day to day, at least in this. so i mean, i think the platforms of miss, i have a lot of taking up to be that's the case. i really look to see that happy this world. i mean being, i'm happy that i will leaving the world yet or not, don't even talk be in uh for me to call you showed up,

but it's got disclosures. i mean that would be, that would be, uh, that will be the day. i mean that's what we're finding for me so happy my tires on this let's i had to look to be it was a well. ready really, really the people that what was really curious to me about thinking statement is he said that the us government has absolutely no problems with quotes propaganda channels inside the country. but stay to all networks. cases somehow special because it needs to be banned. it needs to be sanction. what's your take on that? and well, you know, i was at the moment that'd be, be 80 mean. you know, this is d. b, it's so cold war vibes as the young people to didn't say give a cold war that you know, um, what y'all should be seen as the typical knew everything that these people, these were right. you know what i'm allowed to pick up? don't mind. ready decide what is or what's is not. we'll just have to believe that

rush. yeah. right now use most people, you know, i think that could be back to the picture. i'd be painted right. look at it. what do you just log out doing the a little pollution. the deep about done that on the list would be to be serbians. i must into our seats. you know, books with the, what everybody else does the, you know, i t, the news they should have to do with bbc fcc with cnn. the world, every other major networks. daniels as well. you know, but just because we must see what she at the moment ask you this evening, you know, i mean, be similar to look it up. be to create the page. you mean need see like to go by his country seeing one done to start to see, i don't want to get no see i most thing these people are the best people in this world. no far from eating students. we live in a world where the 2 at least initials in the always streets you can keep,

are you are, you need to be cautious to see to yeah, hope i've done that because it's very popular. i mean, i really will be respect to people. i used to portray the slides are project the slides will give you will like to do some kids. i say no to get the best fit. they loved people. the team of the youth was as the professionals, everybody comes on uh on the as the i beat to do it to the, to the part to that she doesn't want be 60 possibly risk with it if it were to grace speaking. sir, thank you so much for your time today, sir. and casey, pa, not working, has some sort of late activist feel accuracy. thank you so much for your time or something is the price. it has so far failed to convince many major power with india, but one is one example which is reportedly refusing to back the u. s. according to new delhi officials quoted by the media of the country and does not support unilateral measures without un approval as well. the american and boy in the indian

capital said earlier, the governments of the united states defers to the government of india and the governments of other countries to make their own determination of and accreditation procedures for these entities. the us would welcome all countries and taking similar actions as the united states. government has well following the news as much as bond on the south african media review organization on the lines that the west and freedom of speech is applicable only as an outlet stones fits the convenience mattresses. the media review network condemns the brazen violations of press freedom by meta, the parent company of what's up facebook and instagram. the self proclaimed bastions of free speech and freedom of expression have chosen to use social media outlets to play geo politics against russia. freedom of the price is only applicable in the west if one chooses to maintain service to the forces of empire

met a banding of r t and others as testament to this fact, freedom of the press has always been a missed. the media review network is off the view that sat, the decision to ban russian. we document sort of in the as the media office is a serious one. and my soul is be subject to a high degree or switch city. and in this case, particularly that is no subscript to me, but we do know that to me it says, policies and practices have long silence voices that do not reflect the values and the belief of the west africa for us to submit to has been at the center of numerous control business for us from is handling often use a data treats roland, spreading misinformation in this information. so that's okay. so not so long ago. the cried mix of platforms that i still flooded with fake news and misinformation. a space should be leading up to the election. we saw at that time is the speech advocacy group finding a request, asking me

a tough to disclose information about to the selected identified during the elections. the dates had to let said and the missed as it took to mitigate misinformation across all its platforms. but mitchell had denied the request of all giving that to as a u. s. based company, it is not subject to set as it can do, have a system to this matter. and as a goal peroration organized and existing under the laws of delaware in the united states of america. and does not have a legal presence in south africa, according the metal ink is not subject to the promotion of access to information act. so on the african continent and the as a case has resurfaced were mid tasks of face. the whole set top here was the ration fund for victims of the $23.00 walls which facebook field beating over $600000.00 dates and the displacement of millions across the field. yes, the amnesty international group in hit the old you at the time said this mentos

facebook became a wash with content. and citing by this and advocating hatred, leading to the dates in the country. as of that was not enough very recent sheets. nature directly to mid to what a mess of fund of about $220000000.00 that you had received that to me, it has repeatedly violated in states of protection commission laws. including denying nature is the right to solve dissemination and saving off nigerians personal data. at the time that you have is made it clear that the fine wasn't just a slap on the wrist if it's a message that's even big tip companies like mid tough con to get no local news. the. it's a zip, nice area. if you'll pat and so that's the time many of the african countries are saying you might be a global science, but in our back yard, if you pay by our rules. and the more concerned you problem is that to me, it just seems to be bolding and unpleasant patching on the african continent. and right now with this decision,

mit is confirming what is known about it. the political bias in width and social media platforms. because this now is being interpreted as an efforts to suppress alternative viewpoints like it has done on the african countries when it goes from nigeria is pon africanist historian on teacher, tell me type email, verified going well, many thanks for joining us on the playground today. now if we can set up the why, the implications of this move find mass. so i'm wondering how would you, how would you assess the impacts this could have on freedom of speech and must be the reaction so far and africa? well, let me supposedly say that so far, all it's about you. it seems to me up to $0.50 that supposedly these are the reflection of the populace. the i'm to the septic you. most of the was thunderbolt optics or principles. you know, because when we have to go back to the street, you know, because the point to time when you have all the west time news channels have the most out fast, um, did the,

with the pictures to be done in the. 1 my sister was brass, the filling in the paper didn't sleep. we started these during the cold war era. we saw, i'll do my best fits, i'll do my best next of america 20. we normally buys the punch most of these things . so he's not coming out to do the shop. um, do you like best moves of america by giving much power to media? we don't defend this, the not the of the, let me just stick to it so i must not be uh so far off these. no, probably not just surprised. uh, so actually for me, easily bill was it, is it fletch? so are you good to go? you know what the democratic principles in decided that's what i respected as of this month about pointing from it shows the device message that you know, organizations that much about that would be given that to me we know optimal spit to the see the, because you see the game that's is a great show up. do you think that what was this or what's fundable countries

physicals? yeah. well, you know what the policy has recently attracted quite a huge number of viewers across the global south on a, particularly across the african continent. to what extent would you say people's rights to take pause and on network social media, right tibits ease of being infringed by this move by myself. of course you thought it has been long for quite some time. so far this starts, i belong to a part of the county that has no movement. uh somebody else does not assume anything which shots them by piece boot matter. because the way we really seem to get this, the plastic slippery, what do you mind doing forward a partial, not facebook page almost shut down itself. so what's the best book? i'm the. a the tools that this, you know, the, the use of explaining why we did, we bought this. so this new uh, concept on facebook. we stop calling the physical physical. it's about the same thing is by the address of his book as the risk book, it does say that that is racially, you know,

use biology if you do most acute room. oh, you depend that opinion also and what's up to you. so these are the mon, i pulled up the trunk document, it means that space, you know, the space these, that the space motion on me to help save you quite some time in the space you know, above the, my job. but i do, but start on the, the drop out list. this is the ability to, you know, watch space of these thoughts. my system, this is about the watch, the walk, all the more i yeah, that's gonna be that much, much the same on password bbc, i know this blackboard, you know, compression, i need to upload the of the, the weight. do you have the upload speed? do you have that's actually reached by lots of in, you know, views not opposing me to upload some thoughts. the oh no, not be on probation. i'm going to upload the document to something i've faxed you most of quite some time now. and that is what the rules we believe that the that i should not be the space is not free because we organize this. does anybody but for them any time you, bradley use the agenda. thank you so much for speaking to us today is we didn't

quite get your thoughts on the topic pile, africanist historian and teacher to me typing the barrow. so good one. thank you. have a good day i it's a pleasure, but as always, thank you for staying with us and you can rest assured that we will always keep bringing you the other side of the story. what's the media on government funds may try to shut this down, but we'll make sure to find a way to stay through the cracks. when most goes to the wells, where i live here and on our website. plus, they can always follow us on alternative platforms, including ex rumble odyssey and telegram. washington decides to vote to call it just too much information on should consider it. prosecuting american c pond. taken, whatever it brands propaganda, that's the message from full us secretary of state and veteran democrats. hillary clinton think there are americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases,

criminal a charge is something that would be a better deterrence, as well as discuss this with us. it contributes to atara, read. now tar when he, thanks for coming in. lovely to see today a festival, we'll see what reaction to henry clinton suggested there, especially considering. she's the democrats who obviously not how they always came to be standing up the freedom of speech. freedom of the press. you know, it's really amazing, isn't it? that they try it out. dick cheney a were longer and then the other were long term hillary clinton, so they're pulling out all the stops right before the election. and you know, it also struck me nikki, was said, it's the day after the attempt on donald trump's life, that she's making these really inflammatory statements. it's further dividing the country again. so if the democrats want to be viewed as the party of unity, they're certainly not going about it the right way. and hillary clinton is also very hypocritical,

since she was the one who made up the rest of gave to narrative in the 1st place and use that that playbook and got caught. the steel dossier was false and revealed . and of course, julia sanchez, exposed. you know hillary's fraudulent activities to actually influence the election and yet, yes, henry change and remains super influential and the democratic party. so how does that, how do you think has suggestion is going to go down with abiding hers? well, i think that she has a partnership with the, with democratic leadership. so you have the a we, it's all gathering around trying to basically hold onto power. it basically keep, you know, it's interesting. she uses more, it's like just information misinformation. that's a very subjective word, so, you know, it's, it's basically saying that they are truth is the only truth. they're not listening to other voices and certainly not to the voice of the american people to expect carmella harris to echo similar talking points as in the final weeks. what was the election she already has and she's made a clear and the recent past,

there's video of her talking about censoring social media. further, that video clip has been surfacing and haunting her as it were, but she seems to be standing by it proudly i'm. it's unbelievable that the democrats seem to think that freedom of speech is something subjective, that they, that can only apply to them, but no one else you recently returned from the us. can you tell us about the state of free speech there? by now? i've never seen it any worse. you know, i have to say, i've never seen people so scared. i mean, your average person nikki, is really scared to post their opinions online for fear of being tracked by the government prevented from work prevented, you know, censored or even, you know, targeted by the government. so that's really something new to my experience in the united states, and it was really shocking. and we'll sort of legal measures. can americans take to protect themselves when prosecutions taking part?

you know, oh, tentative media coverage like some of august. well, you know, and that's what people need to know that they do have their rights. remember that the government works for us in america. we don't, you know, they don't, they think seem to think that americans work for them. and we need to get it turned around and as far as americans go, american should be able to be on any alternative networks they want. they should be able to express any opinion if they want, that is really part of the constitution. and so there is ways legal ways to fight this because it is very flimsy. what they're doing. and i think more and more discussions around free speech is going to be happening in the next few weeks. so we'll kind of response to your expect to hillary clinton. so what's the, well, she's already receiving some backlash because hillary clinton is not the popular figure she once was. in fact, there's a lot of backlash towards her, especially because it's well known that she fabricated the russia gates. so i think, trying her out,

the democrats trying her out to try to represent their views is probably a huge mistake. so all right, many thanks for coming in today. so as i see you are taking sure with us harvey. thank. thank you. a. thank you for joining us. head on all the international data accounts or websites on the console. the latest updates all the about with moving 30 minutes the the .
