China Orders BBC Off the Air in Its Territory

>Hong Kong public radio network also pulls the plug in moves that follow U.K. regulator’s ban of state-run Chinese news channel

 

The action comes days after Beijing’s primary international news channel lost its license in the U.K.

 

The tit-for-tat move shows how media organizations are getting increasingly embroiled in China’s deteriorating relations with the West. Both London and Beijing have criticized each other’s action as hurting media freedom, depicting the news organizations involved as extensions of each government’s agenda.

 

The announcement from China’s National Radio and Television Administration at just past midnight Friday local time, at the start of the Lunar New Year holiday, appeared mostly symbolic for the mainland since international broadcasters such as the BBC already have limited reach there. The programming typically can only be seen in upmarket hotels and compounds where foreigners live and even on those feeds the screens frequently go black when news relates to China.

BBC World News Blocked in China Following CGTN Ban in U.K.

<Decision follows U.K. watchdog’s withdrawal of CGTN license

<Broadcasting bans underscore tension between U.K. and China

The British Broadcasting Corp.’s World News has been taken off the air in China following the U.K.’s removal of Chinese state-backed broadcaster CGTN’s license last week.

 

BBC reports on China violated regulations that news bulletins should be “truthful and fair,” China’s National Radio and Television Administration said in a statement early on Friday in Beijing. The U.K.’s Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in a Twitter post that the decision represented an “unacceptable curtailing of media freedom” and that it would damage China’s reputation.

BBC did vital work exposing atrocities in Xinjiang. Time to increase reach of World Service radio broadcasts into China.

Yashar Ali's Thread with screenshots of deleted Lincoln Project tweets

 

@yashar

  1. Lincoln Project tweeted out a thread that appeared to contain screenshots from their former partner @NHJennifer's account

 

Unclear how they got access to them

 

These exchanges were with journalist @AmandaBecker

 

They have deleted the thread but here are screenshots

 

  1. More screenshots of the thread Lincoln Project tweeted out and then deleted.

 

  1. One more screenshot of the deleted Lincoln Project thread.

 

  1. The Lincoln Project started deleting their thread when @gtconway3d said that it appeared to be a violation of federal law.

 

(accessing someone else's DMs without permission)

 

  1. Tweets from the CEO of 19th News @eramshaw re Lincoln Project tweeting out private DMs.

 

  1. I've asked Twitter if the Lincoln Project tweeting out the private DMs of an outside party is a violation of their terms. Neither party in the screenshots appears to have given consent.

 

There are other questions now about if there was a violation of federal law involved.

 

  1. A little bit about the news outlet that @AmandaBecker reports for….@19thnews.

 

It's funded, in-part, by @craignewmark and @KathrynAMurdoch.

 

What a bizarre situation here….

  1. @NHJennifer, whose DMs are in the screenshots above, says she did not give anyone consent to access her account.

 

More and more this appears to be a violation of federal law.
