TikTok和Newsmax表示,如果国防部计划对可能的公开枪决进行直播,它们不会允许直播或剪辑此类内容,这是Axios的提问所得。没有其他主要平台或电视网络愿意就其计划发表评论。
TikTok and Newsmax say they wouldn't allow livestreams or clips of a possible public execution by firing squad that the Defense Department says it plans to livestream, when asked by Axios. No other major platform or TV network would comment on their plans.
这很重要:目前尚不清楚12月初的这一事件是否真的会进行直播,但如果真的进行直播,这将考验美国最大的媒体和科技公司是否愿意对美国政府执行其内容审核政策。
Why it matters: It's still unclear whether the early December event will actually be livestreamed, but if it does, it will test whether America's biggest media and tech companies are willing to enforce their content moderation policies against the U.S. government.
背景:这些公司上次处于这种境况是在多个平台删除或限制了特朗普总统在1月6日发布给其支持者的视频时。
Context: The last time these companies were put in this type of position was when multiple platforms removed or restricted a video posted by President Trump to his supporters on Jan. 6.
这些行动引发了特朗普和保守派更广泛的努力,旨在建立他们自己的平台、网络服务器和应用程序,以便在不担心审查的情况下传递信息。
Those efforts kicked off a broader effort by Trump and conservatives to build their own platforms, web servers and apps to deliver information without fear of censorship.
现状:Meta和YouTube的代表拒绝评论他们是否会允许对被定罪的福特胡德枪击案嫌疑人进行枪决的视频进行直播或以剪辑形式分发。
State of play: Representatives from Meta and YouTube declined to comment on whether they would allow video of the firing squad execution of the convicted Fort Hood shooter to be livestreamed or distributed as clips.
Snap的代表也没有评论该公司是否会在其平台上允许此类剪辑。该公司没有直播功能。
A representative from Snap also did not comment on whether the company would allow the clips on its platform. It doesn't have a livestream feature.
TikTok的一位发言人表示,该视频将不被允许,因为它将违反其内容政策,该政策禁止“图形化事件和暴力,包括酷刑、某人死亡的瞬间或枪击”,以及“尸体、图形化伤害,包括肢解、残毁、焦黑或烧伤的尸体”。言之有物:一些公司明确禁止此类内容,但允许对被认为具有新闻价值或公共利益的内容作出例外。
A TikTok spokesperson said the video would not be allowed, as it would violate its content policies that prohibit "graphic incidents and violence, including torture, the moment of someone's death, or a shooting," as well as "dead bodies, graphic injuries, including dismembered, mutilated, charred or burned bodies." Between the lines: Some firms explicitly bar this type of content, but allow exceptions for content that is considered newsworthy or in the public interest.
例如,Meta明确表示其政策不允许用户发布“死刑的直播”,但它已对更广泛的政策作出例外,以适用于具有新闻价值的事件。
Meta, for example, explicitly states in its policies that it does not allow users to post "live-streams of capital punishments," but it has made exceptions to its broader policies for newsworthy events.
放大来看:新闻网络本已面临播放政府广播的压力,目前大多选择不作评论,除了Newsmax。
Zoom out: News networks, which already face pressure to carry broadcasts from the administration, are mostly choosing not to comment for now, except Newsmax.
“Newsmax不会直播该过程。我们不会在电视上展示实际的处决。我们将审查可能展示的片段,但任何时候都不会出现血腥画面。Newsmax不同意五角大楼直播处决的计划。”该公司在向Axios提供的声明中表示。
"Newsmax will not air the livestream. We will not show the actual execution on air. We will review what clips we may show, but at no time will they be graphic. Newsmax disagrees with the Pentagon's plan to livestream the execution," the company said in a statement provided to Axios.
CBS新闻和NBC新闻拒绝置评。福克斯新闻和ABC新闻未回应置评请求。CNN表示,如果该事件进行,它将在临近时提供指导,但目前没有可分享的内容。
CBS News and NBC News declined to comment. Fox News and ABC News did not respond to a request for comment. CNN said it will have guidance closer to the event if it goes ahead but has nothing to share at this point.
FCC主席布伦丹·卡尔表示,他将尊重五角大楼关于广播商是否可以播出处决的决定。
The FCC chair Brendan Carr said he would defer to the Pentagon on whether broadcasters could air the execution.
有趣的是:没有任何主要保守派网络或平台就其是否计划直播该事件作出评论或回应置评请求,包括Rumble、Truth Social、Real America's Voice或OAN。白宫未回应关于特朗普电视台是否会直播该事件的置评请求。
The intrigue: None of the major conservative networks or platforms commented or responded to requests for comment on whether they plan to take the event live, including Rumble, Truth Social, Real America's Voice or OAN. The White House did not respond to a request for comment on whether Trump TV would air the event.
全景来看:该直播可能根本不会发生,在这种情况下,网络可能不想过早评论其计划。
The big picture: It's possible the livestream doesn't happen at all, in which case, networks may not want to prematurely comment on their plans.
根据Axios的艾弗里·洛茨报道,直播处决的计划正在天主教会、《国会山报》以及枪击事件幸存者中引发日益增长的不适。背景:五角大楼本身尚未明确该直播将在何处托管。
The plan to livestream the execution is garnering mounting discomfort from the Catholic Church, the Hill and survivors of the shooting, per Axios' Avery Lotz. Context: The Pentagon itself has not specified where the stream will be hosted.
该枪决处决对象是一名前陆军少校,他在2009年于德克萨斯州福德堡枪杀了13人。
The firing-squad execution is of a former Army major who murdered 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009.
美国已有90年未举行公开处决,而皮特·赫格塞斯的言论引发了人们对军方将如何允许民众观看的质疑。副总统JD·范斯表示,他不会观看该处决。
The U.S. hasn't held a public execution in 90 years, and Pete Hegseth's remarks raise questions about how the military would allow people to watch. Vice President JD Vance has said he would not watch the execution.
