1396 the Platforms of Our Discontent (Social Media, Social Destruction)
#1396 The Pla-orms of Our Discontent (Social Media, Social Destruc?on) JAY TOMLINSON - HOST, BEST OF THE LEFT: [00:00:00] Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of the Le; Podcast in which we shall learn about the role that social media plays in the radicalizaAon of discontented communiAes, and engage in the debate over content moderaAon and de-plaDorming of individuals. Clips today are from The Weeds, Newsbroke from AJ Plus, On the Media, Oﬀ-Kilter, a piece of a speech from Sasha Baron Cohen, Big Tech, Vox ConversaAons, the Medhi Hasan Show, and Your Undivided AVenAon. Why everyone hates Big Tech, with The Verge's Nilay Patel - The Weeds - Air Date 7-19-19 NILAY PATEL: [00:00:34] I think one thing everyone will agree on, just universally, is that these companies are not necessarily well-run. And even if they were perfectly run, the nature of wriAng and enforcing speech regulaAon is such that you're sAll gonna do a bad job. The United States has been trying to develop a free speech policy in our courts for 220+ years and we're preVy bad at it, but four guys at Facebook aren't going to do a good job up in 20 years. So there's that problem, where does the line cross from being a preVy funny joke to being overtly bigoted? It really depends on context. We all understand this. So it absolutely depends on the context. It depends on who you think you are speaking to, whether it's a group of your friends or whether suddenly TwiVer's algorithm grabs you and ampliﬁes you to millions of people.

Al Jazeera's Expansion: News Media Moments and Growth in Australia
Al Jazeera’s Expansion: News Media Moments and Growth in Australia PhD thesis by publication, 2017 Scott Bridges Institute of Governance and Policy Analysis University of Canberra ABSTRACT Al Jazeera was launched in 1996 by the government of Qatar as a small terrestrial news channel. In 2016 it is a global media company broadcasting news, sport and entertainment around the world in multiple languages. Devised as an outward- looking news organisation by the small nation’s then new emir, Al Jazeera was, and is, a key part of a larger soft diplomatic and brand-building project — through Al Jazeera, Qatar projects a liberal face to the world and exerts influence in regional and global affairs. Expansion is central to Al Jazeera’s mission as its soft diplomatic goals are only achieved through its audience being put to work on behalf of the state benefactor, much as a commercial broadcaster’s profit is achieved through its audience being put to work on behalf of advertisers. This thesis focuses on Al Jazeera English’s non-conventional expansion into the Australian market, helped along as it was by the channel’s turning point coverage of the 2011 Egyptian protests. This so-called “moment” attracted critical and popular acclaim for the network, especially in markets where there was still widespread suspicion about the Arab network, and it coincided with Al Jazeera’s signing of reciprocal broadcast agreements with the Australian public broadcasters. Through these deals, Al Jazeera has experienced the most success with building a broadcast audience in Australia. After unpacking Al Jazeera English’s Egyptian Revolution “moment”, and problematising the concept, this thesis seeks to formulate a theoretical framework for a news media turning point.

Israeli Defense Minister to Develop 'Special Security Arrangement' with Gulf States - Report by Mary F. Israeli President Reuven Rivlin on Monday received the first-ever ambassador to Israel, Mohamed Mahmoud Al Khajah, from the UAE, following the agreement that the countries made last year to normalize relations. On Tuesday, Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz, while on a visit to an Israel-Gaza border crossing, revealed that Israel plans to develop a “special security arrangement” with new Gulf Arab allies, Reuters reported. “I don’t think it’s going to be a defense pact but we are going to develop defense relations with every country that we have relations with,” Gantz told Reuters. “We have this process of setting up [a] special security arrangement, and within this arrangement we can continue and develop our relations,” Gantz added, although he declined to provide additional details on what such an arrangement could include. Gantz also noted that Israel had no opposition to former US president Donald Trump’s deal to sell 50 Lockheed Martin F-35 stealth jets to the UAE during his last days in office. The deal is currently being examined by US President Joe Biden, Reuters reported last month. UAE envoy Mohamed Mahmoud Al Khajah arrived in Israel on Monday, where he met with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin during a ceremony in Jerusalem.
