on the ice, do not to them to petty stunts. july 18th, on the w, the the to dry war was one of the bloodiest conflicts and recent history. facebook has been accused of time and time again, of stoking ethnic tensions in ethiopia. so sudden media had a lot of us. that's why i'm is calling for a virus. that's why it was one of the that was yes west. we have seen it in the last few to get the onslaught of violence claims the lives of half a 1000000 people, master for them,

killed without mercy. you must motor them ruthlessly. does facebook put profit in market power above the lives of human beings? countless hate posts are still online, texting someone, or maybe let's go in buttons. this easiest places like campus or most parts are pointed out to someone's house, like someone is like hiding here. they've coined key or key. how could the social network that promised people in an open and interconnected world to become a weapon used by warmongers and perpetrators? so showing it as one of the hips bridges to your answers because people use it wrongly without us. you won't even like to go on facebook for one second. he true is one of the most important factors to win a war. we must have it listed. delete, delete,

delete it and do need to delete it to new, to delete, delete, delete, delete, delete, delete. the after 2 years of devastation, there's a festive spirit back on the streets of the tick ryan, capital mckayla. i send an events celebrating women and girls as being held for the 1st time since before the war. but amid the singing and dancing and traditional garments, the scars of war are everywhere. the

mess then is the head nurse. she's heard countless reports of the sexual violence perpetrated during the conflict. she runs the one stop center for rape victims at night, or hospital. one of the few clinics in mckayla and that was not destroyed this 40 year old woman reported being raped repeatedly by 15 soldiers and a remote village. before losing consciousness, she remembers that one of them took out his phone and started filming as soon as possible. i mean, it was around 9 in the morning. i blacked out after they attacked me. i must have been lying there all day. nobody helped me. when i came to in the evening, everything was gone, everything i had with me on

own own goods. social media was used as a weapon and that took ry war the footage of rape and the mass shootings was used to, to traumatize and dish humanize. the other side of the mess spends explanation for this year. brutality of the conflict is that the propaganda spread online. by all parties was posted and re posted by the packet hospital. there was this constant preaching of hate on both social media and means by media, especially in on heart media. oh yeah, i think again and hope of the government tried to gloss over it by using terms like permission for law and order, but people were being told to kill innocent civilians to review and children and women for me to go ahead and read the teenagers. i've got the victims have to run for their lives with nothing to eat and move from one refugee camp to the next and

up with a sort of stuff i think is the war began when the ethiopian army sent troops into to grey. the northern most part of the country a violent civil war ensued. many observers felt for all the martyrs of genocide, one such observer and what's to say attack leading from amnesty international. the weight was forthwith experimentally pro. within less than a week to make out about my 2nd house up and about 200 people with little bit of bites in small fight. i mean, if you like to me, wisdom ticket i and that is, that's a must not cut off that in my 2nd, facebook played a pivotal role in the conflict with atrocities directly linked to hate speech posted on the platform. incendiary posts were not just tolerated. they were actively disseminated by government officials and media outlets. fuel to the fire

and an already deeply polarized and divided society that they should be known as the last of their kind. nothing like satan was created after satan's fault. why is the, what is the thought that, that, of course it moved on as i could on testing. so that's, that also reflects on the associated media and the government was kind of the leading cons that at z we had a cleaning type of switch. we had kind of accepted by the director position for just us utah. chief among the agitators was the ceo being prime minister of the ultimate, the 2019 nobel peace prize laureate team nighted the countries various ethnic groups and hatred against take ryan's. he repeatedly referred to them as the cancer of the d o, b, as leads that needed to be removed and as a whole into online posts by abby smith and his advisors made no secret of their

goal. genocide. even these people are the enemy of all ethiopia, and people, the enemy of the aroma people, the car, the gun, baylor, and the somali. we will not rest until the enemy is buried because he was good for the women and the mckayla clinic for fear of returning to her village and the stigmatization she faces is too great. the head nurse, lulu mess and offers her a place in a women's shelter for the time being the incendiary videos are still online for anyone to see what explains the inaction on the part of facebook and other social media platforms, news internet or the social media store jazz or firefight has and all of that. so with that to protect people from watching the most toxic and unacceptable things and

human is supposed to watch. so instead of the want to see it, we are the ones behind the scenes watching those towards the contents at summer, it wasn't just the content that was toxic. the working conditions were appalling to always job description, referred to tagging images and writing brief text. there was no mention of violent content on her very 1st shift. she had to watch footage of a person being beaten to death. but delete, delete the name. it was her introduction to a job that meant being presented with a new harrowing video every 55 seconds for 8 hours a day. delete, delete, delete. without us, he won't even like to go on facebook for one second. if those things me see i've

been released everyone to see fisma would have been long gone by now. no one would want logan. ready ready well, facebook spends millions and employees thousands of moderators to review content in europe in the us. the budget for africa is minimal. ready ready ready ready ready the hourly wage there is $2.20 with just $200.00 moderators for the entire continent. when that took right war began, there were just 5 covering ethiopia. ready ready ready then was the crisis protocol, we start receiving a more ad traffic, the kids hate speech and if you laugh, i laugh, i exempted to put in my chair now opinion about that i the tribes. so the item, the groups maybe to begin to be changed out of a particular place to be bind to the deluxe to be at least that

fussy, go, get bracky done. narrowly escapes the war. she fled to nairobi where she was grateful to find work as a content moderator at some a source. but soon enough, the war caught up with her and her new job. the thing is, when i talk about them, i will have flashbacks. and i don't want to have flashbacks cuz it will make me motional are you? so i just try not so you know, imagine what i saw. but basically it's just the worst thing that you can imagine. content is pre screened by a computer algorithm. but a human being ultimately decides what gets deleted. the critics have repeatedly

called for the improvement of moderators working conditions. one such critic is kenyan lawyer, mercy more. tell me, who says facebook clearly failed and its duties. ready ready ready ready ready content which is almost taking place in kenya for the content that was being shed any fuel cap, the content. i'm wondering it as up to i've been given his job when not even from, from the communities in whose language that kind of content was being posted. for example, in this case degree. now there was no changing of content for data. so when you tell someone who doesn't understand the language, to address that post, what's going to happen again if you already have a handful of moderate as to kids for the to pan market and millions of posts that are being shipped on a daily basis that we're looking for a physical community standards, the efficacy is going to be super, super disappointing. hm. the lawyer has been representing the moderators and

a legal dispute with meta, the parent company of facebook. they are demanding better and working conditions and psychological counseling. time he believes facebook is driven by greet and kenya, a country with low wages and blacks working conditions has become a hub for content, moderation from meta and tick tock to open a i all the major online platforms, employees, so called click workers, what's considered to be cheap, indispensable labor. they've capitalized on this culture of instilling fee. yeah. in the moderators. so you're supposed to fee a, pull that to you, come from, because they use that means like we, we kind of, we time you back to a point i t as a matter of fact, this is the 1st instance i'm, i'm seeing a case where in the recruitment advertisements specifically wanted people who came from poor backgrounds and the specific a us that questioning interviews like do you come from a port background which in august you and that using degree should. so does that

come from thread that you're going to lose your job, but then the same time, there's a constant trip that we could destroy your life. you just don't know how we could do it, but we could destroy your life. and we're just like, hidden behind those compute as behind the phase where people feel it's safe. and now we also to tell the damaged, at the end of the day with damaged, we're destroyed, of ritual is normal because of the kind of joy we engaged ourselves to do, which we never taught it was that dangerous? we're just like, forced to bleed like it through the deceptive way. data created on the

someone who has experienced the deadly real life consequences of online hate. is this young woman she's gripped by fear when she walks down the city streets. not long ago, to grow lions like her were subjected to arbitrary detention with tens of thousands disappearing in camps. she herself lost her father and brother. the the woman who grew up in the village in the eastern ethiopian merchant ryan's constitute a minority. her father was a well off farmer and respect that business man. but when the war broke out, he and 8 other residents were targeted in a hate campaign. a post on facebook claim that they were spies and called for

a tax on them. her father was at the top of the list of targets, the post when 5 minutes, and was shared hundreds of times in the region. for one local militia, it was proof enough. they rated the village, looking for the legend, spies, plundering homes belonging to ethnic ryans, the young woman was living in addis ababa at the time, her mother told her what happened when the militiamen entered the family's house. at 1st they forced my father, my brother, and my mother to get on their knees. they then have to crawl out of the house. my mother pleaded with them saying they were regular people just caring for their children. she asked why?

oh, but the men didn't respond. they said my family were spies fighting against the government . they kept repeating the accusations being spread on facebook. that was the last time my mother saw my father and my brother. her father and brother were shot dead in their own yard. when the attackers moved on to rate other homes, her mother took the opportunity to escape. she says the 22 people were murdered. that day. a massacre that she blames on facebook. i'm sure of it. nothing would have happened to my family, had it not been for the misinformation on facebook. people are too reliant on facebook. they believe everything that's posted there in my village. they don't question if what they're reading on social media is true or false, they just accepted. i know that my father and brother would still be alive if that post hadn't appeared on facebook. the killing of her father and brother was

not an isolated incident. that's a great war sauce. thousands of dogs and post online attacks revealing the name, address, and photo of targets. as the world's biggest social networking side, facebook is a natural avenue for the dissemination of such post. plus it's algorithm ensures that insightful and inflammatory posts are viewed by an especially large number of people. what has become the key is that hate selves and come for posts, tend more then post such as your new email, send the image, say metric to the allegories in encourages the posts that are likely to go viral, to go even more by all right. so if you loved that and doing to happy to of posting is lametre contented is going to keep making it that much worse

and much more in from entry. facebook earns it's money through advertising and the mass gathering of user data, bible posts and user interaction in the form of likes. shares and comments are especially valuable, so valuable in fact, that despite security concerns raised by facebook employees, risk mitigating measures were never incorporated into the algorithm. and the case would be the opiate. this lead to more polarization, more hate and more misinformation decide. this part is just how we had to produce all the evidence with. yep. yeah, of course that's have gone and vital and was to on the facebook platform is to get environments right. and all of those postpone meet the fit for community defendants . but what not put down the

road to the individuals extensively employed to make facebook safer or fired. after kona mogley finally could get bracky done, and 182 other content moderators, sued meta and their direct employer summit source. they were immediately dismissed, not just content review was left in the lurch. the moderators were left without pay for months, unsure how to cover their rent, and other basic expenses. the, the 2 women meet on the roof of monkeys, apartment building the painting is helping them to process their traumatic experiences. mogley has been struggling with severe depression ever since she took the job as content moderator.

i just wish i'm just out of this world. i've had enough for heard the speak part enough i grew up with the dad and i thought i would have family members that would support me and all that. but obviously knowing i'm going to a lot even if of 18 of not, no one cares even if i'm dead or that life sometimes just feel like and indeed all but at the same time when i do cut them a mom, i didn't go into the field of heart, so i just have to pretend like everything is okay.

calling them always says the images during her time at salma source are burned in her memory, and the stress still looms. there's been a suicide among her former colleagues. a young man who hangs himself and his apartment. the former moderators hope that their legal action will help to create better working conditions to do this difficult job. and ideally, changes will be made to facebook's algorithm that prevent harmful content from being amplified and going viral. fasick echo bracky done often had the impression that her work was in vain. not only insults are and there is a word that people would call before the contents. also, there were so many videos that was plugged by us, but never get deleted. so who is especially a classic videos we were,

i'm tired of slugging though, because zillow once through seeds and then you can get traumatized overtime. use it . so that's why we always thought them to be deleted, but they never got deleted. the young woman whose father and brother were killed as on her way to the recording studio of a local youtube or an audio out by she's the only member of her family who will talk frankly about what happened. she's determined to ensure that the killing of her loved ones will have consequences. the posts that lead to their deaths is still online. fake news on social media kills innocent people. i hope i'm able to show that to the big facebook pages with lots

of followers. as well as to ordinary users and that they understand how their post can destroy lives. we need to raise awareness, but people also need to be punished. i know that's not easy. it's a real challenge, but we need justice. and i hope we'll make some progress that we can create an awareness and society about the harmful impact of fake news on facebook and other sites. that's why i'm here sharing my story. the lawyer mercy mood. tammy has already seen some progress. according can your rule that the sama source dismissals weren't on lawful, and the moderators needed to be reinstated and paid?

how, how is the security to be sure, both the company and matter will have to answer to the courts and can you because we can, the opiate case is pivotal and having you seem to do us so many one meetings about what's happening. you need to be in the role of a few of you and how many parts to provide made or what's happening on the platform . just the inaction itself led to the platform being weaponized in a very vulnerable situation. so there is a level of responsibility around that. you might not have picked the gun, but you knew what was happening and it has to do nothing about it. people spoke about it to people even followed. your internal for seems that which is the report to push through, pull them about doing a pull down. so that in action lead to way more violence and we more lots of lives. not to just keep oh,

okay. the and mikaela lulu mess and that is as busy as ever. dozens of new victims come to see the nurse every day. as the growling war brought ethiopia to the brink of collapse, the warring parties agree to cease fighting in november 2022. with the withdrawal of soldiers, more women are seeking help. mess then can't say for certain how many victims there are. but she fears there are hundreds of thousands a and i get i, the majority of victims don't talk about what happened to them due to the trauma and discrimination. many women stay silent, many have died alone and let them know medical care of is an integral, right? there's not a single family where a woman was raped and murdered us to get

a this. and who said, you just have to take the piece deal, mark the dramatic break through such a growing force as agreed to hand over their weapons. in return the government and addis ababa agreed to establish an interim regional administration, whether the traumatic events of the war will ever be adequately addressed is impossible to say. but how do we know is just that people facebook that the level of authority this that happened in this conflict? he's not feeling really documented in that that published also what the reading, the kind of letter from he to a page that just a companies out of the airport of it. and that as far as the that profits out of them, they don't, cannot boats the day you might cost that has to be some kind of governance, both domestic and international governments on them on model compression.

meadow does not seem to have taken any major action in response to the took right case. when confronted by amnesty international with evidence of having neglected content, moderation, the company rejected all the findings or a counter by insisting that ethiopia is a high priority country for meta. and that it is taking a significant measures to delete violating content. the eco africa in volume and to comb sedation, the superstition in gonna many people believe that the weather's influenced by

spirit. now, especially trained use for gates on working with indigenous communities to challenge traditional for 1000 local africa. in the 1st few minutes, d, w matches 3, this one actually, i love telling tales of diverse professor hall all submit. the grace's not in 75 minutes on d, w. conflicts, crises. every single connection mapped out

shows that you can disagree odyssey be on the board, is what makes things to why they are mapped out navigating a changing world. now on youtube the, this is the, the, the news and these are our top stories. donald trump has chosen is running, made for november's presidential election. ohio senator j. the vance is trumps. pick for vice presidential candidates. the 39 year old had been a critic of the former president, but has since become a loyal ally. trump announced as pick as the republican national convention got underway in wisconsin. a judge in florida has dismissed one of donald trump's legal cases. trump had been accused of illegally holding onto classified documents after leaving office. the judge threw out the case saying the lead prosecutor had
