But Martha, do you want to tell us first a bit about your work at Repro Uncensored and the companies that are coming up here? Thank you.
25:57
Yeah, thanks for the introduction.
25:59
I'll just say that I'm watching over my grandma today because she hurt her head, so if I have to go, I'm sorry.
26:05
The good thing with going last is that you guys didn't...
26:07
I mean, you were going to do an excellent job anyway, but...
26:10
But what I can add or illustrate further is with Ripper Uncensored, we've documented in just the last few years or so, I don't know, 650, almost 700 cases of censorship globally.
26:24
And that's just what has been reported to us.

So starting off here, what prompted the case that y'all have brought and what are the main parameters of that case?
41:54
With reprint sensor, we've been documenting a lot of the censorship that is happening on platforms such as obviously Meta.
42:00
Specifically, we documented a big wave of censorship back in November, December with hundreds of accounts that were ultimately taken down in the US.
42:10
And globally, many of the accounts are actually based in the Netherlands, including Club Church and other accounts like the Queer Agenda that we saw taken down.
42:18
A lot of the accounts ultimately were put back up, but it took quite a bit of a process, whether it's like a mix between public pressure, press, trying to get contacts that we have within to ultimately get them back.
42:30
It's very difficult to get the accounts reinstated.
42:33
The address mechanisms are harder and harder, despite having legislations in Europe that are supposed to protect them.
47:34
Like, yeah, for how long?
