צריך להבין:
מרדכי דוד וינון מגל הם שני חלקים בלתי נפרדים ממכונה שנועדה להלך אימים על המחאה הדמוקרטית.

לא פלא שהם בחרו לשים על המוקד את רעות ענבר, רן הר נבו ויאללה תקווה הנהדרים, שהם מופת של אקטיביזם פוליטי.

האיומים לא ירתיעו אותם, ולא ירתיעו אותנו.
התשובה שלנו חייבת להיות ביציאה עוד יותר נחושה לרחובות.

So the plot thickens!

Yesterday night, Tel Aviv time, my video about WebSummit and the Oct 7th genocide in Israel was removed from Twitter.

It wasn't only removed from my account (400,000 views), but also from @BillAckman's account (over 600,000 views), @HilzFuld's account (130,000 views), @JGreenblattADL, and multiple other accounts across Twitter.

The claim, listen to this: copyrights infringement!

This morning i got the official claim to my email. Do you know who's fighting to take down a video that went viral globally on every social platform?

It's the General Council of @WebSummit, Adam Connon!

The claim (attached): their official trailer "has been edited and repurposed to promote political agenda". Seriously, you can't make that shit up!

A week before their "celebration of pluralism" in Lisbon, the company is chasing every URL of our video in an attempt to shut our mouth and censor a video that legitimately criticize a behaviour they already "apologized" for!

The funny thing is we used less than 20 seconds from Web Summit's Official Trailer, in 6 different scenes, out of a 4:30mins video. The trailer is a promotional video that didn't change a thing to the real context of our story.

You might have heard that @paddycosgrave resigned a the CEO of WebSummit (he's still the largest share holder). Paddy also published a post he titled as "a sincere apology".

If that's the case, how come the company, which stated it'll make the right changes, is aggressively trying the take down our video from every social platform out there? What happened to it's "two sided liberalism" approach? What happened to free speech?

I hearby publicly ask WebSummit's new CEO, Katherine Maher, to pull back from it's ridiculous copyright infringement claim! Let the video run its course, swallow the PR damage, and act like a true progressive organization!

I invite every journalist that wants to cover the story to DM me. WebSummit's behaviour is a mix of cowardness and hypocrisy, and should be called out.

Please share this tweet 🙏

*** The blocked video is attached in the following tweet as a great evidence of what WebSummit has become.
