Online Freedoms Under Threat in the US
The host of an anti-Trump website has been told to hand over details of its visitors
The host of an anti-Trump website has been told to hand over details of its visitors. The US Justice Department wants the details from Dreamhost of people who visited the website to plan riots and marches on the day President Trump was inaugurated. We speak to Dreamhost's general counsel. Plus, the British PR firm Bell Pottinger has been found to have violated the industry's code of conduct over a social media campaign in South Africa. Also in the programme: the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Charlotte Pamment reports from the Polish/Belarussian border, where primeval forests are threatened with destruction. Rob Young is joined throughout the programme by Andrew Peaple from the Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong and Alexander Kaufman, reporter at the Huffington Post in New York.
