Demand NewsBreak to End the Circulation of Staged Animal Cruelty Videos
The Issue
As an ardent animal lover, the sight of staged, inhumane animal cruelty videos circulating on NewsBreak deeply distresses me. This issue has invaded our digital space, with shocking precedence within China and other parts of Asia. It's critical to recognize that these videos violate numerous community guidelines, yet they persist.
Having flagged and reported these traumatic videos multiple times, I see little improvement in their monitoring system. While some were removed upon my report, it barely scratches the surface of the problem. The overwhelming existence of such content signals a systemic error that cannot be overlooked.
The grotesquely frequent staging and sharing of animal cruelty videos underpins an extensive, disturbing culture of animal disregard. It's alarmingly widespread incidences have even driven me to share the distressing videos to president@whitehouse.gov to attract necessary attention to this cause.
NewsBreak is a popular app suspected to be Chinese-owned. By allowing the circulation of such videos, it inevitably contributes to the perpetuation of animal rights violations—a breach against compassionate, humane values universally upheld.
We challenge NewsBreak to double down on their efforts to monitor and remove all content that exploits innocent lives for cruel entertainment. As consumers of NewsBreak, we have the power to influence its content policies, and we should bear the responsibility to raise our voices against any form of animal cruelty. Let's wield the power we hold, and demand a cyberspace free of animal cruelties. Sign this petition today!
