Several students were then interviewed who confirmed that Mr Headley had been discussing flat earth theory and whether the moon landings were faked but that he had asked for these chats to be ‘confidential’, a panel heard.

“When they can make certain decisions unilaterally, they can basically promote propaganda, hate speech, sexual violence, human trafficking, slavery and other forms of human abuse related content – or prevent it,” he said.

The leak comes amid speculation that a wave of classified document breaches could be being orchestrated by Russia, in what was described by a senior intelligence official as ‘a nightmare for the Five Eyes’ – a reference to the intelligence sharing agreement between the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.  

In 2013, he wrote a book called ‘Scattered not Lost’ where the premise of the book was that the true ‘Children of Israel’ were black Africans who were then enslaved forming Black Diaspora throughout the world.

“Tech platforms have a responsibility to protect their users’ safety, uphold free speech, and respect human rights. But this begs the question: whose safety and whose speech? Why were such measures not extended to other users?” she added.
