CPJ emailed i-Cable Communications Limited on November 24 requesting details but received no immediate reply.<br \/>The clip, featuring Jimmy Lai taking a bite from an apple, was taken from an advertisement for the now-shuttered <em>Apple Daily <\/em>dating from the 1990s when he founded the newspaper. Currently imprisoned by Chinese authorities, Lai has become a powerful symbol of press freedom as the Chinese Communist Party seeks to gain control over Hong Kong\u2019s media and was <a href=\"https:\/\/cpj.org\/2021\/06\/cpj-board-honors-hong-kongs-jimmy-lai-with-gwen-ifill-press-freedom-award\/\">honored during CPJ\u2019s award ceremony<\/a> for his work.<br \/>It\u2019s not clear if Facebook applied the action <a href=\"https:\/\/en-gb.facebook.com\/business\/help\/722359398097098?id=208060977200861\">automatically<\/a>, or whether i-Cable News complained in an attempt to suppress the video. The news group, i-Cable, signed an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.i-cablecomm.com\/pp\/admin\/announcement\/uploadpdf\/2018\/c01097_ann_1205.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">agreement<\/a> in 2018 with China Mobile Limited, a state-owned telecommunication company, allowing China Mobile to use its content for the next 20 years.<br \/>\u201cIt is beyond ironic that a platform which trumpets its commitment to freedom of speech should block a video celebrating journalists who risk their lives and liberty defending it,\u201d CPJ Deputy Executive Director Robert Mahoney said. \u201cFacebook must restore the video immediately and provide a clear and timely explanation of why it was censored in the first place.\u201d<br \/>A lawyer at Donaldson and Callif, which vetted the IPFA video for Culture House, the production house that cut the video, told&nbsp;CPJ in an&nbsp;email that the&nbsp;firm was of the opinion that the clip of Lai&nbsp;&#8220;constitutes a fair use as used in this IPFA video.\u201d<br \/>The full awards video\u2014and its comments, views and shares\u2014remains unavailable to Facebook users worldwide. The IPFA video is still available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ja6VetT6MGM&amp;fbclid=IwAR0e6r5gcqtmm_tfmUpx0g4syGjqAsfAQ9WRI7t2hQ91-5S7upY7ZrMwaow\">YouTube<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/broadcasts\/1DXxyDBVXPRJM\">Twitter<\/a>.<br \/>CPJ contacted Facebook on November 19 and again on November 22 outlining CPJ\u2019s concerns about the video\u2019s removal but has yet to receive an explanation for the action by the company.<br \/>CPJ has <a href=\"https:\/\/cpj.org\/thetorch\/2021\/02\/how-u-s-copyright-law-is-used-to-censor-journalism-globally\/\">documented<\/a> examples of U.S. copyright laws being used to censor journalism globally.<br \/>The press freedom organization has held IPFA award ceremonies since <a href=\"https:\/\/cpj.org\/awards\/cpjs-2021-international-press-freedom-awards\/\">1991<\/a> as a way to honor at-risk journalists around the globe and highlight erosions of press freedom.\u00a0<br \/>CPJ is a 501(c)3 non-profit.<br \/> \t\t\tOur EIN is 13-3081500.\t\t<br \/>Committee to Protect Journalists<br \/> \t\t\tP.O.
