such a 20 such gave them some industries because about fact of having to trial and test and not compromise. deborah alan is chair of a crime, a task force of the european space in defense industries association. i think recognizing the longevity of defense thoughtfulness that they're not the ration to 3040 as it's been parent change that anything that's being designed now is taking this into account. i'm planning for that so you will transition the path to climate neutral military land vehicles is not yet 100 percent clear. if it's not possible to convert all vehicles in such a way that no greenhouse gases are released. the only way forward may be through compensation projects such as reforestation. what are your thoughts on this topic? the

the a little gray war was one of the bloodiest conflicts and recent history. facebook has been accused the time and time again, of stoking ethnic tensions in ethiopia. so sudden media had a lot of thoughts like why miss calling for about us? that's why it was one of the that was yes. west, we have seen in the last few to get the on slot of violence claims the lives of half a 1000000 people. massacre them, killed without mercy. you must motor them ruthlessly. does facebook put profit and market power above the lives of human beings?

countless hate posts are still online pictures someone or maybe let's go in button to this a just places like tempest or most parts of pointing out someone's house like someone is like hiding here. they've coined key parking. how could the social network that promised people in the open and interconnected world become a weapon used by warmongers and perpetrators? so showing me, does one of the hips bridges think answers, because people use it wrong without us. he won't even like to go on facebook for one second. heat treatment is one of the most important factors to win a war. we must have it moved to delete, delete the new. you do need to delete the delete, delete, delete, delete, delete, delete,

delete of the after 2 years of devastation, there is a festive spirit back on the streets of the tech, ryan, capital mikaela. i send an event 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 less then as a head nurse, she has 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 some steps comfortable. army it was around 9 in the morning. i blocked 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 it's um, phone goods. social media was used as a weapon and that took ry war the footage of rape and the mass shootings

was used to traumatize and dish, humanise. 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 whole packet hospital. there was this constant preaching of hate on both social media and mainstream media, especially in on par on media. oh yeah, i think again and hope that 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 grow. i had and read the teenagers a good the victims have to run for their lives with nothing to eat and move from one refugee camp to the next up with the sort of stuff i think is of the war began when the easy obedient army sent troops into to drive the northern most part of the country. a violent civil war into many observers, felton,

for all the martyrs of genocide. one such observer and what's to say attack, leading from amnesty international. the weight, westfield west exterminate product was in 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. they should be known as the last of their kind. nothing like states and was created after satan's fault. why is

the, what is the thought that that, of course have moved on. is that going on testing? so that's, that also reflects on this or trying to media. and the government was kind of the leading cause that at the ad cleaning times, which we had kind of accepted by the director position partners. does utah chief among the agitators was the e d o being prime minister of the alphabet? 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 coast. spite of the med and his advisors made no secret of their goal, genocide, even the people are the enemy of all ethiopian people, the enemy of the aroma people, the car, the gun, baylor, and the somali. we will not rest until the enemy is buried. the

cook for the women and the mikaela clinic for fear of returning to her village and the stigmatization she faces is too great. the head nurse lulu messman offers her a place and a women's shelter for the time being at the incendiary videos are still online for anyone to see what explains the inaction on the part of facebook and other social media platforms of the newer one. and so it can be found in the canyon capital nairobi, the calendar mild, we use on her way to her night shift for a job that involves the leading hate posts online when she moved here from west africa some 3 years ago. she was looking forward to

a career and the booming taxi that at least was what was promised in the job offer as content moderator. we signed up and did in fact find herself working for facebook all be indirectly. her immediate employer was a low profile, sub contractor called summer source. no, of course clinton, what draco is, is quite a very dangerous walk. what at the same time, it's also a very no board work to do because we are like the internet or the social media. so jazz or firefight has and all that. so with that to protect people from watching the most public and unacceptable things that human is supposed to watch. so instead of the war to seeing it, we are the ones behind the scenes watching those tops the contents at summer. it

wasn't just the content that was toxic. the working conditions were the polling to always job description, referred to tagging images and writing brief texts. there was no mention of violence, the content on her very 1st shift. she had to watch footage of a person being beaten to death, but to 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 we see been released, everyone to see physical would have been long gone by now. no one with one logan that. ready ready ready well,

facebook spends millions and employees thousands of moderators to review content in europe and to us, the budget for africa is minimal. ready the hourly wage there is $2.20 with just $200.00 moderators for the entire continent. when the dry war began, there were just 5 covering ethiopia. ready ready ready then was that crisis like pro college, we start receiving more at traffic, the kids hate speech and is asking about the fight. exempted to put in my chair, their opinion about that. i the tribes that 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 salma 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 to try it out. 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. critics have repeatedly called for the improvement of moderators working conditions. one such critic is kenyan lawyer murphy mood. tammy, who says facebook clearly failed and its duties. ready ready ready content which is

almost taking place in ken for the content that was being shed any fuel cap, the content, i'm wondering it as up to i've been given this job one not even drawn from the communities in whose language that's kind of content was being posted for example, in this case degree now there was no degree now content for data. so when you tell someone who doesn't understand the language, to wonder if that post what's going to happen again, if you only have a handful of moderate as to get the for the 2 pen market and the millions of course that are being shipped on a daily basis that have a little bit of a system couldn't be defended, the efficacy is going to be super, super disappointing. 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 take talk 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 fi. yeah. in the moderators. so you're supposed to feel the pull that to you, come from, because they use that most likely. we can, we time you back to a point i t. as a matter of fact, this is the 1st instance um i'm seeing a case where in the recruitment advertisements specifically wanted people who came from poor backgrounds and the specific i us the questioning interview was like, do you come from a flip background, which in narco, shown that using degree should. so does that come from thread, but 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 have 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 thought it was that danger was we 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 claimed they were spies and called for a tax on them. per father was at the top of the list of targets. the

post went environment 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. the 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, 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 and 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. federal 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 docs in 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, insures that insightful and inflammatory posts are viewed by an especially large number of people. what has become very key is that hate selves and hum, 4 posts trend more then post such as, you know, you know, send the image, say metric to the al griffin, 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 contender, just 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 of the, the opiate this lead to more polarization, more hate and more misinformation does. that just 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. if the kitchen violence side and all of those posts, what would be the facebook community just done, that's about what not to put down the road to the individuals extensively employed, to make facebook safer or fire,

or after kona molig, we 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 painting is helping them to process their traumatic experiences. mowgli 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 of heidi now. we heard that 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 an ended order. but at the same time, when i got to my mom, i didn't go into the field heart, so i just have to pretend like everything is okay. colin amalgam. he says the image is during her time it's on the 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 a bracky don often had the impression that her work was in veins not only is thoughts or negative words that people would call us before the contents of also there were so many videos that was collected by us, but never get deleted. so who is especially a classic videos we were tired of slugging them because you know, once you see it and then you get traumatized over time,

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 of about 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. ready 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 destroyed 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 in 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 moved, 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 does it give it to both a company and matter? we'll have to answer to the courts. and can you, because we can, the opiate case is pivotal and having seen the

us so many wonderings 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 election itself lead to the platform being weaponized in a very vulnerable situation. so there is a lot 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, people even followed your internal for seems that which is a part of push to pull them down the pull down. so that connection led to way more violence and we more lots of lives. not to just see 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 and 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 and to guide there's not a single family where a woman was a great and murdered us to get a this and who said had to pay the piece deal mark the dramatic breakthrough such a grind force as agreed to hand over their weapons. in return the government and

addis ababa agreed to establish an interim regional administration. whether the dramatic events of the war will ever be adequately addressed is impossible to say. but how do we know is just that people say it's back down to the level of atrocities that happened in this conflict is not the feeling really documented in that, that published. also what the reading, the kind of letter from peter page that the deuce eh, companies out of the airport of it. and that as far as the that pro feet side of them, they don't care about the human cost. they have to be some kind of governance, both domestic and international governments on them on model compression matter 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 encountered by insisting that ethiopia is a high priority country for meta and that it has taken significant measures to delete violating content. the business books view will tell you the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold plus the 2 year courses and for the future feelings about what's going on in the industry. instead of being
