About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing protests in Albania against a luxury resort plan backed by Jared Kushner, highlighting the spread of misleading videos online.

Thursday marked the fourth consecutive day of protests in Albania, sparked by plans for a proposed billion-dollar luxury resort backed by Jared Kushner, the husband of Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump. Online, however, misleading videos of the unrest are going viral, with social media users sharing old and out-of-context footage falsely presented as scenes from the current demonstrations. Many protesters fear that the Kushner-backed development could devastate a protected wildlife ecosystem.
