is all over social media in iran, alabama tor ginsberg and you're at the listening post where we dig into the coverage and analyze how news gets reported. it has been less than a month now since the site known as social media's public square. twitter became one man's domain and it has not gone well for a long musk. the billionaire has flip flopped on policy so many times that his employees don't know if they're coming or going, whether they still have a job or not, twitters users sometimes don't know what they're looking at anymore. those blue ticks that used to indicate an account was verified real, can now be bought for $8.00 a month. the upshot of putting user authentication up for sale has had advertisers pulling their money from the platform. not something twitter can afford. like so

many other policies that mosque has come up with that one's been put on hold, but only after the damage to twitters reputation had been done with advertisers fleeing and a recession looming. our starting point this week is this question. can twitter survive elan mass? ah, it really pains me to see, to say from like, this must clearly does not know what he's doing with the we've seen huge, huge layoffs as well as resignations over the last few weeks. and i think that's a testament to just quite how chaotic heal, in most cases, p ah mosque is showing us how vulnerable spaces that we have online and truly are when they are old by billionaires. mm hm. for a man who made his name,

making electric cars now travels on his own private jet, wants to get into space, travel and colonized. mars what's another eagle trick? but his 44000000000 dollar takeover of twitter has brought elan mosque, crashing back down to her twitters workers had that sinking here when musk arrived . having fought his way into an industry in which he has 0 experience acting like he knew it all. on bots, spam and fake accounts must devised a simple money making solution. charge users, any user $8.00 a month for the blue tech that indicates the account is verified, what could possibly go wrong. what we saw immediately when this program watched was a wave of the internet doing what the internet does best, which is mocking the powers that be. so even mosque has had

a whole range of fake accounts appear in the last few weeks that have impersonating all of which is being bought. we've also seen organizations starting to be who'd way. the biggest example of this is eli lilly is a global pharmaceutical company. we're an individual pretended to be their account, paid $8.00, to set up twitter blue and then said to the entire world, they would make insulin free and not, not hundreds of millions of dollars off the shack price of the company. and that tweet stayed live on twitter with the verification mark for almost 6 hours. and it created complete chaos for customers who saw it and didn't know if it was real. his new verification system has caused brand, like you, i really to say we are now removing ourselves from the twitter platform and no longer advertising. and many brands are watching and seeing what's happening to you

. i really am saying to themselves, this might not be the best place for us to invest our dollars right now. and the revenue business at twitter is almost solely focused. 90 plus percent on advertising revenue. it's incredibly powerful to see the speed with which brands are pulling out of one of the world's largest social media platforms. must approach to twitter is essentially chaos and brand heat chaos. me this story would be funny if feel on my sex missteps and the potential implications weren't so serious. the blue tick debacle is a byproduct of mosques plan, which he made clear before the takeover became official to quote, authenticate all humans. and it's like less than 24 hours for new service actually to start abusing a new twitter subscription plan, the problems he tried to address, act twitter box spam and just information are real and have been for years. but

must simple approach that money can buy you. verification overlooks the need that so many users have to post on social media without revealing their name for good reason victims, for instance, domestic abuse. he want to raise concerns about their partner will use fake names or no name a tool in order to do that. whistleblowers wanting to raise concerns about big companies. and organizations might also highlight those issues through an anonymous account and getting rid of that impacts, not just them, but also many people in the developing world where ruth are retiring regimes crackdown and identify people he will seen is dissidence and put them in prison. take saudi arabia as a, as an example, when the saudi government managed to infiltrate the headquarters of twitter and extract the personal information of saudi dissidence that we're using with her

anonymously. many of them where we're really disappeared in jail. there is a pan. he is a saudi activist who, because of the twitter infiltration or spy operation was unmasked. then he was sent and for 20 years, simply because he was tweeting and expressing himself online. anonymity is incredibly important for marginalized people online. and if twitter were to lose that, it would be a huge blow to freedom of expression and the traditional role that twitter has played in the internet ecosystem. twitter is actually been one of the greatest advocates historically for the right anonymity online. although one of my 1st actions, when he, he took power, there was to fire the woman who led that effort. ah, she was not alone. musk laid off, half of twitters workforce, roughly 4000 people. he told those who remained that to keep their jobs,

they would have to opt in to long hours and hard core working conditions. when not enough, did he closed the company's offices, locking his staff around the free range so far a billionaire until on monday and twitter as on waste away on whom all throughout the company among those already fired twitters human rights specialists. it's a i, ethics, team, content moderators, who spot and scrub toxic and dangerous content. so we contacted the companies press office, what's left and must himself tweeting him. this question, how do you expect twitter to users from hate speech and disinformation, which the platform already struggles with when all you have left is a skeleton status. we're still waiting for mosque to reply. you know, i last has sad from the beginning that he wants to curb misunderstand formation,

and he really wants to focus on the content moderation and keeping twitter healthy place. but he has gotten rid of many of those employees and it's hard to envision a world in which twitter can continue to do a great job. when there are only $3500.00 employees left at the company. and there are over a 1000000000 tweets that are going out in a day for the majority of users of twitter who are outside of the u. s. we have been always struggling with the lack of resources that would enable switzer and other social media platforms to moderate content in none english languages in a speedy and critical manner. hate speech, gender based violence that this information influenced operations. smear campaigns, all of those have been happening at an increasing speed on switzer. and so the fact

that he just went ahead and even cut down on already stressed raises the big, big red red flags about the future of the plot of the platform. oh, twitter is far from the only tech companies facing tough times. the entire sector is headed for a downtime. and the billionaires behind big tech are shading cars. marks dr. berg and meta have laid off $11000.00 employees. amazon owned by jeff bezos and the 10000 multiple other platforms from delivery companies to payment services are doing the same. but most of them are trimming their workforces, anticipating a recession. what eli mosque is doing is different. having spent $44000000000.00 on a company, he said, was already threatened with going bankrupt. he has since got it. twitter may not survive with there was

a very critical public space for many activists. so this the 2011 era uprising. and before that, during the run revolution for the black life matter for palestinian, for many, many communities that have been historically silence, these platforms are extremely within spaces for them to organize, to share information, to document human rights abuses. so it's really sad to see it's falling apart like this. there is a reason why twitter is the chosen platform for world leaders, presidents for the news media. there is no other tool that is real time that is this relevant. and so it's scary to watch, you must come in and potentially, you know, ruin the company for people around the world who rely on their there would be a massive whole not just in the social media ecosystem but in the world. and it is

devastating to watch. i with the close of cop $27.00 in egypt, another climate summit has come and gone. but as we reported last week, tangible science of progress are difficult to detect. what with promises of meaningful action repeatedly getting broken. journalists covering climate change, especially those whose beat includes on the ground reporting, working difficult conditions, some of which can be deadly. we spoke with 2 journalists, a brazilian reporter, based on the edge of the amazon and a british editor in london. on the challenges that all climate reporters face, regardless of where they are, how to deal with such a complicated and at times depressing topic and bring it home to water in lieu was drown wanting remain. mm

mm. i it is kind of unusual beat if you like to be covering as a journalist, climate change. you have to be pretty robust and resilient because you're just relentlessly every day dealing with a profoundly difficult topic that always fills a bit one step forward to step back on a good day to step forward, one step as respectable. most pop jong i used was doctors which was much common to former fuckers stages of 1000 and you still feel me think home business business. wonderful. when you come in the last one i'll use this,

but i just got my support from me. i also talked to him and i was no more now. sure. but is the positive id form to fill out that samantha, alaska for whether middle shape or miss. so i bought the motor, clinton dodge of fame, a dodge the screen of his young install for you want me to do, come with some that are in the midst of my head up on our own g o t, you know, for you to just message board is not going to want me to follow up, but as introduce me to job since 19, prince cala hill. now i'm going to have figured out in those need 3, izzy and compared to g. gotcha. most movies are somewhat people that are, you know, some being of the movie, maybe you'd be 15 minutes,

but it would come in japan to create the illusion volume and thought it was, i mean, there's just a coffee diamond, but i prefer the patches can be our machine, so just one moment, not for the edge, it's already out of the mantle. it'll kills intermedia most that i asked him on. this is probably me as, as viola who did a that's a plus one of them. i want to see how major body feel. genial epistle, not now major. now middle car, the major his one on the major. now so now watching him was nap boyfriend food in college. from the moment when she was system went to lloyd the locust look at most of his you know, i want but i mean, also my gym one year. do g, g, me just a minute here, which is up or he was full because that is nice because that is the going on and thought was really fast as my bed are $34000.00. damage not bother. can there was a quote that i'm not? no, no, no i had no idea this very good me to get back in the book. yeah. i'm looking for

the list that is going on because it's a good on isn't that is a come on to get on with this much and so now or cow open that it's those to think causes us a lot. so we all know mommy home, but events are going to going to present that. you got a legend, guys, when they thought it should on the war model is used on the floor. cars on the margin, which is indigenous edge for jeb bush, they'll keep their stuff in the mail much thought and bucket bunch you know, much better. but as a female, they're looking simply to same bad daughter. if they bought that most people to start the way it was, was difficult and was gentle and possibly managing my father just by you just give us a form to live in dodge with

fossil for visual. how am i going? well, that's what you, what you were to you last on base. so we may choose must also, jimmy asked me to call them up when they have they have proper called the proper phone, but the quality for the close meaning which the connection to viagra. when they got hit that, for example, i may also go up in june if i choose up. and then of course run a little roughly than usual next to show my utah grenlock and secondary cancer. but i'm as long as i should get in don't edge fees mostly is a school permit, you mean they're from us and we use their awesome parallels, i think with kind of walker responding. sometimes it fails hugely unjust, unfair. those extremes as those violent, sometimes those profound sadness and, and frustration. you know,

all of the elements that would go into covering, you know, a conflict to a war. you see playing out all the time with climate change. i'm leo hickman, the editor, all call them brief, which is a special website based in the u. k, which focuses on climate change. the brief with lawrence about 10 years ago and the origin also founding mission was to try and be a counterpoint, a rebuttal to some of the poorly informed media coverage around climate change. specifically climate science. we recently publish a weeklong theories of articles focusing in on this, the very hot topic of what is called lawson damage. but there is a kind of fundamental injustice with climate change. it is affecting the poor people on the planet who are least responsible for climate change. and they long been decide, dear, that should be some reparations,

or actually compensation from the richer countries to the poor countries for the damages being coal. and it's very, very fraught and, and difficult debate to comrey published a big series of asked was really examining and explaining this concept of lawson damage. people had long known about this term and sort of really wanted this in depth analysis and explanation of it. oh, yeah, me personally been going to say that title, so it's all gonna be the most complicated set of negotiations in human history or the world countries have to come together to deal with a fundamental existential crisis like climate change. there's nothing to compare and even a world war in terms of the complexity of how humanity comes together to deal with this. and there is a sense of deja vu the same. you see the same negotiations,

the same dynamics going on, and you do have good days where you feel that hope and the progress. but you also have pretty con, not a bad days where you think wow, this lated bit of science is pretty profoundly bad. knees and you look at the politician and look at their response to think there is a big mismatch here. we're already seeing pretty profound impacts of climate change around the world. this year seemed an extraordinary range of reco breaking extreme weather events from floods and jerry epic heat waves in pakistan and india. huge, huge profound. he wave in china. so one in the u. k. wildfires in the in the us it's just been an endless list. not feel different what it was even 510 years ago from when i was covering that you're dealing with a fundamentally depressing and difficult topic for humanity. i don't think i've

ever even truly started to be honest about what the impact on this kind of relentlessly difficult and depressing subject is, is actually having all the journalists who are trying to relay that to their audience. and you don't even know about concert. you lost those into play much and also this is how use good. thank you so much. just to talk to somebody about cameras. see buses for blood. it's still the same way a to start the police say go visit their fees with my jason austin. and finally, women with their hair out protesters with fists in the air school children defying authority. those are just some of the images of resistance coming out of iran. it's been 2 months now since the death in police custody of masa armine, a 22 year old,

arrested for the crime, allegedly of not wearing her head scarf property in a country where the mainstream media and the internet are strictly controlled. iranians are still getting the word out on social media and some are using their art to tell us story. the authorities would rather go on, told will leave now with some examples of their work. and was the next time here at the listening, ah

cruise . many of us living with the effects of ecological breakdown. so what would be stories in which technology hopefully promised of salvation for the planet 1000000000 as big tech and an unwavering faith in innovation. alleyway investigates where the techno optimism is helping or hindering the fight against climate change in destruction. self delusion. it is,

hey, i just masking over it all hail the planet episode to on al jazeera, a new series followed footballs from 6 countries, hoping to make it to cattle. 2022. my dinning was to be a basketball player in the world. now at each year, the next episode made 3 wealth comp hopefuls from a row by sacrifice, a love seat, a lot of days before my family. i wouldn't do that to play worked up the world cup dream iran on al jazeera ah now jazeera with every oh a.

the latest news as it breaks the banks he has come to a place like borrowed bianca? isn't a great surprise in the context of some of his previous work, but it is of course, a big surprise to the people who live here with detail coverage. taurus coming here in increasing numbers with this isn't just about business politics or for halls of what's going on here from around the world. this is the 3 and that's what the thousands of hector, the farm land here in apple. hm. i'd several my me company that around this area ah, how.
