Islamophobia on TikTok and the guideline...

The New Arab
About this episode

This week on The New Arab Voice we discuss Lebanon's new government with The New Arab's reporter in Beirut Will Christou. 

And then, Rosie McCabe discusses the hateful and discriminatory content that exists TikTok and asks, do they moderate this content effectively, or are extremist and far-right groups finding ways to break their Community Guidelines and evade punishment? 

And finally, Aisha Aldris speaks to our very own film critic Narjas Zatat who will be giving her thoughts on the award winning, and Oscar nominated, film ‘The Man Who Sold His Skin’, which is in cinemas now.

This podcast is produced by Hugo Goodridge (@hugogoodridge), Rosie McCabe (@rosiemccabe3), and Aisha Aldris (@aishaaldris). Music by Omar al-Fil (@elepheel).
