Censored CBS News Segment Leaks Online via Canadian TV Loophole

A `60 Minutes` segment that was censored yesterday by Bari Weiss, the new editor-in-chief of `CBS News`, has surfaced online today after it was inadvertently broadcast in Canada. According to The Verge, the decision to pull the report on men deported to a prison in El Salvador backfired, as the internet's distribution power quickly circumvented the network's control.

How the Segment Escaped

The leak appears to be the result of a last-minute decision. `CBS` had already begun promoting the segment online before it was pulled. The cancellation came so late that the network seemingly failed to stop at least one international distribution partner, Canada's Global TV, from airing it as scheduled.

This created a digital loophole. Some viewers reportedly used a `VPN` to access the Canadian broadcast. At least one person recorded the segment and began distributing it through an iCloud account, demonstrating a classic example of the `Streisand Effect`—where an attempt to suppress information only serves to make it more widely known.

Inside the Pulled Report

The Verge, which reviewed the leaked footage, reports that the segment is just under `14 minutes` long. It features sensitive video of men, chained and bent double, being processed in an El Salvadorian prison. The content's nature likely fueled the internal decision to censor it, a decision now at the center of a public debate.
