Archivists have saved and uploaded copies of the 60 Minutes episode new CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss ordered be shelved as a torrent and multiple file sharing sites after an international distributor aired the episode.
The moves show how difficult it may be for CBS to stop the episode, which focused on the experience of Venezuelans deported to El Salvadorian mega prison CECOT, from spreading across the internet. Bari Weiss stopped the episode from being released Sunday even after the episode was reviewed and checked multiple times by the news outlet, according to an email CBS correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi sent to her colleagues.

The article says it was released online and if you were in Canada you could watch it. Also it doesn’t say it here but another news source said the week prior it was advertised through commercials, ads, and online that it would be airing on so and so date and time.
Once I saw who stopped it, I kept thinking back to John Oliver’s episode on her a few months ago and thought wow that didnt take long.
If it was posted
in Canadaanywhere it was posted everywhere. Thus is the nature of the internet.
