Facebook critics start rival, independent 'oversight board'

OAKLAND, Calif. – A group of prominent Facebook critics, including one of the social network's early investors and a journalist facing jail time in the Philippines, are launching their version of an “oversight board” to rival the company's own. The group says Facebook is taking too long to set up its oversight panel, which they argue is too limited in its scope and autonomy. The announcement Friday comes a day after Facebook said its own, quasi-independent oversight board, which has faced numerous delays since the company announced its creation in 2018, will launch in October. The first four board members were directly chosen by Facebook. Facebook also pays the board members’ salaries.

How COVID-19 gives cover to press crackdowns the world over

FILE - In this July 1, 2020, file photo, Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai pauses during an interview in Hong Kong. Governments around the world are taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to justify crackdowns on press freedom. (AP Photo/Vincent Yu, File)Governments around the world are taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to justify or to divert attention from crackdowns on press freedom. Jimmy Lai's arrest in Hong Kong, for instance, shortly followed enactment of a new national security law that gives China more power to squash dissent in Hong Kong. We dont see the robust condemnation that we would expect from the U.S. over press freedom crackdowns or deaths of journalists in custody, Radsch said.

US offers belated 'concern' over Philippine journalist case

(AP Photo/Aaron Favila)WASHINGTON The Trump administration has offered a muted and belated expression of concern over the convictions of two Philippines journalists on criminal libel charges. A one-sentence State Department statement titled On Press Freedom in the Philippines and released on Tuesday nearly 48 hours after a Manila court pronounced the convictions may raise new questions about the U.S. commitment to supporting press freedom abroad. Ressa and Santos were convicted Monday of libeling a wealthy businessman in a decision that human rights activists called a major blow to press freedom in an Asian bastion of democracy. Repeated requests for State Department comment about the case on Monday went unanswered. She posted bail for the case last year and will study possible appeals in the next 15 days, Te said.

Rappler case highlights decline of press freedoms globally

(AP Photo/Aaron Favila)NEW YORK The conviction of two Philippine journalists for libel is a blow to press freedom and comes as media watchdogs track declines in press freedoms and democratic institutions around the world. Philippine officials have maintained that the criminal complaints against Ressa and Rappler are not a press freedom issue. But the conviction is the latest move by the government to intimidate journalists, said Reporters Without Borders, which tracks press freedoms. Democracies are restricting press freedom more and more, he said. The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker has tracked more than 400 incidents in 60 cities.

Several foreign journalists have been arrested in Indonesia in recent years for visa violations, usually for filming or reporting without the required journalist visa. In practice, analysts say, getting a journalist visa is difficult and time-consuming, requiring the approval of 18 government ministries. In a short video released by Mongabay, Jacobson is shown saying: I really, really, really appreciate everything everyone is doing for me. The farmers argue that massive palm oil plantations, which clear land for their crop, are the main culprits in the fires.
