again, i would like to say hello and respect to the viewers who recently joined us for the half-day talk show on khabar network. well, first, let's watch a report, after this report with expert discussions regarding the british elections and also the elections of several other countries, the role of the network. we will be with you on social media to see the report.

british voters play an absolutely key role. perhaps the key role of these social networks was in political propaganda that forced some british parties to create fake user accounts. this bbc reporter when with several different angles he tried and understood. there were fake accounts promoting narratives of specific political parties and candidates. ms. spearing, field reporter. social networks and fake news bbc says: the flow of information in cyberspace can affect the electoral decisions of the british. inaccurate information in the election cycle can cause a decrease in popular yes at the ballot box, increase people's mistrust and polarization of society. now , according to the british house of commons elections, which will be held on july 4, 14 july, england with meta malik company. instagram and facebook have a memorandum of understanding

signed, according to which meta will remove fake information about the british election from instagram and facebook. removes campaigns that are active with fake accounts to reduce the participation of british people. labels images and sounds created with artificial intelligence. in addition , social media experts for the psychological security of british citizens against fake news.

i want to ask you now, as we have seen in this report, why is the topic of social networks coming to the headlines of the english media so much on the eve of this election? and focusing especially on what currents, news and election information is currently moving in the british virtual space, in the name of allah, the most merciful, the most important thing is that we see the position of social networks. the position of active media in the so-called virtual space, which i have a problem with this word, i have stated many times that it is not a virtual space, it is a cyberspace, this space is completely real , it exists, it is effective, by the way, one of the facts and one of the confirmations that we can express for this issue is this issue. elections in the world this year elections now, regardless of the elections we have in iran, there are elections in england, there are elections in america, there are elections for parliament. the european union

had an election and in all these countries, from the united states to the united kingdom, the 27 countries of the european union discussed cyberspace and social networks as a priority , and it is interesting that in some countries new laws have been added, that is, laws were enacted a few months ago. for example, in america, where they can use those laws for elections, to control events and trends, one of the important topics in social networks is the so-called fake news or news. fake or rumours? well, we all dealt with this issue in different issues, in topical issues such as elections, this issue is gaining more dimensions . well, an issue that is so important and so effective , well, it should be dealt with more . look at what is happening now. i am from england. and in america, i will give you an example of their trip . which has fallen and is falling in england

, as well as in america, the new generation, which we call the new generation, has a great desire for traditional and ordinary media, such as television , television news channels and newspapers and magazines they don't know where they get their news from. this is the phone that all teenagers and young people have, so where do they get it on this platform on this phone ? now depending on the country, in different countries, in one country tik tok is a popular social network. there is an instagram somewhere and a facebook somewhere , well, information is being exchanged here. one of the issues that unfortunately we are suffering from today is that influencers are so-called influential people, whether they are cooks, footballers, or singers, considering that there are a large number of followers, or in other words, followers and audiences. he has fans, that person

is personally a media. if we consider a newspaper anywhere in the world that has a circulation of 500,000 or a million, then it has the same amount of reach. but one channel, one channel or one social network page, now i try not to use this name, the audience knows what topics we are talking about on the social network , the child has 5 million, 10 million, 20 million followers, so if he is an influential person now, an active person on social networks will come and publish a news, for example, say that it will be from tomorrow that the democrats should withdraw in favor of the republicans. well, this has an extremely heavy and direct impact on political equations, so the importance originates from here, it is important because of its impact, right, ms. sharifi, our reporter, we have now seen their report , they are with us from another

studio . especially the reports that you prepared regarding the news related to the british elections and social networks . if you had an encounter with the concerned newspaper or journalists, follow their media activities to see what issues they focus on. and how do they get into this issue? hello , first of all, to serve you and the dear viewers of khabar sima, there is a woman named maria spearing , who is in a way my field, in the royal network, now her bbc with this title that i will show you that he came and spoke and published a video on the bbc in which he said whether the british elections will have an effect on the british elections, that is, it can

cause the british citizen to say to me, now this i saw the post , should i go to vote or not, what is the answer to this question, yes he came and did some research. it came between 24 accounts that exist, between 24 accounts or the same user accounts, which are some kind of accounts that are fake, the so-called fake or fake , how did you know that these are public, not profiles , having profiles or private user profiles it means that their account is private and they don't have any followers. and they come and publish a series of contents in the investigation that was conducted. the contents that he identified were mainly several contents, one of which contained hatred towards the parties.

it was political, and some of the messages that they checked were messages that actually strengthened the party. don't vote or even come towards the conservative party. she gave money to these accounts to speak against a certain person who is related to the labor party . don't follow this vote at all. this lady came in the surveys that after doing it , he noticed something that he said that we said that they are a series . he paid these accounts using money. whether the voters vote for this or not , for example, the labor party has

paid money to these accounts, which are obvious, to only talk about the political words of its candidates, but the labor party has paid money to destroy a series, so now this lady. he went and checked some of the reports that were broadcasted by the bbc. if we look at it, now i have included a part of it in my own report, and it was full of the fact that it was full of phones in front of this lady and she was showing how she researched. you mentioned this research of mrs. maria spring , if our audience reads it, they will go into more detail to see more precisely , can you help our audience with a headline or a sign, the headline suggested by the bbc is that social media can influence my voting, and this lady came and said that i realized something.

these are the fake accounts that exist. i can only say that it says that it is a robot . some of them say that it is a robot. robots means that there are a series of accounts that automatically give them a series of messages. now, robots, in addition to being able to use the algorithm they follow some of them, they are human beings who speak english to them now now, here we mean the english accounts that give money to be guided by them. well, one of them was the robots, and the other one was the candidates of the political parties in england, who are destroying each other's political parties. excellent, thank you very much , ms. sharifi. in the report that we broadcast, somewhere

, if you have a presence of mind, it was mentioned that the british government has entered into contracts with a series of social networks with the companies that own a series of social networks that are commonly used in england. that for example, it helps to identify fake user accounts or bots like these. let them delete these and such things happen. my question to you is why, even though there is such a companionship , companionship and alignment with england, why is it not enough for england, for example? in fact, the users themselves are looking for responsible behavior, and are they still looking for media measures, or do you have an example of these media measures in your memory that we can mention . very good question, see how they build the city after the car.

people drive in it, the rules are clear, if you want to drive , they say you have to get a license, and they say there are so many intersections left to stop, if the light was green , it would be red, but we see that they stop speeding , put cameras. why do they impose fines , because now sometimes users or sehvand or now because of this incident, well, it takes a coefficient and this happens much more often, so the sovereignty of the governments, including now here, we are obviously talking about england , now no matter how much the slogan i don't know that we are liberal, no matter how much the slogan is freedom of speech on a series of issues such as national security and the mental health of the community , they

are uncompromising. sentence: now, i have an example . please let me know how to take more actions or give an example if you want. for example , i have more examples. the first thing is that there is a collaboration between bbc and twitter in england right now. its name is the former twitter, in other words, the x network message. and the news that is fake or suspicious should be deleted by x channel or twitter. now where is this reference? bbc put the reference in england, so in england, if a user comes, send a message , there are 650 members. may the house of commons come and post a news about one of these 650 members . there have been a lot of messages in the past few days. i think it will be july 4th, so if i'm not mistaken, the elections will be held in the next few days. the twitter network

has raised the voice of users in england, now in the network hey, they are posting screenshots , they are talking about it, so it shows that the british government does not compromise on this issue , it is very decisive, it deletes the news , this is one part of the story, see the other part of the story is that there is a law there , very serious crimes for producers of fake content. it has been around for a long time and now they deal with it much more intensively and quickly. a few days ago, i was reading about a cook who was active on facebook, a social network. facebook arrested him, what did he say in the middle of cooking? we don't have that political content, i want to see, so the surveillance is still there, the legal strictures are defined in terms of governance, a higher layer is also defined. another issue, let me mention here , see in the country now, is it only england? no , in america, one is in the state of texas, america.

i have a commission in texas in america, i didn't know this in a news. i read and read more about it. they have a commission for the ethics commission of the state of texas called the commission of influencers. politicians are receiving money for advertising or for news, they should be required to announce it. see , because of tax issues, if someone receives money, he should announce that i received an amount. if you receive money for political issues, announce that i have received so much money from this political organization from this institution for this political activity. we can

conclude that the question is a question. an influencer or a virtual celebrity speaks politically and that speech necessarily comes from it is not his own view and knowledge, for example, a financial contract is a cooperation with campaigns and campaigns, come and clearly say that this is not necessarily my knowledge , for example, i have a financial contract in this field , can this be concluded from your statement? the same thing happened to a user on the tik tok network in america for a few days . now you know that in america, blue and red do not mean independence and prosperity there . two parties, one red and one blue , are at your service. one of them is blue . from the reaction and the reaction of the users of that infel and that influential person of other parties and other currents, they also showed the reaction that what happened, now you have become blue

. asking him to announce that if he has received money , if he is openly advocating politics, he should come and announce it. let me come back to this sentence . this is a very important point. political , scientific, and artistic activities in social networks today are effective and influential and have a very high coefficient. the consumption of local eggs in a country is changing. it changes it is because of the two or three posts that they put on facebook, instagram, or tik tok, for example , that it is so effective, that is, i want to say that you are fasting in life, and in other words, now, according to a foreign word, it is a lifestyle, which i do not know the persian model of, unfortunately, what will happen to life, maybe , and the level of living. it has such an impact on this . now, in political issues, as i am saying this , it will get a coefficient. in economic issues

, it will get a higher coefficient. we must pay attention to this . we have another report ready in this field, if it is ready. my colleagues should broadcast it so that we can continue the conversation. he decided one day spend a few days with his new name and custom. he closed all the information inputs of his house and appeared on social networks with a new identity. talk to people who do not agree with my thoughts . cecilia is a german journalist. he felt that he was limping in the conversation with the people around him , everyone interprets the news in the same way. i want to follow news sources that i didn't go to before and i want to intentionally put myself in a bubble. the bubble he is talking about is where the user of virtual space is surrounded by news that aligns with his opinion. another name is pajhwok room.

the room where cecilia drowned herself in her news and after seven days with her colleague. and this american citizen, who is a social activist , says this about the feeling he experienced as a german journalist: in reality, we are faced with a world of different voices, ideas, and opinions, but technology removes a large part of these voices. and it shows that we have shown interest in it before and the virtual space is like a bubble filled with people who agree with us. is the bubble he is talking about new for some iranians? dad , you heard mostly about gold and coins and all that it is not a new topic and it is familiar to others , they say that they live in it. whatever we follow and like, the same things

will be shown to us. according to the english newspaper liber list, the footprint of the echo chamber can be seen in the lives of the british people . people of this country can see the approach of social networks. algorithms reinforce one point of view instead of exposing us to a wide variety of points of view . this is how this social activist analyzed the result of being locked in the echo room. when we the world our nose is narrowed and two dangerous things happen . first, we indulge in our beliefs. second, we become less tolerant and impatient in front of a person who thinks differently from us. similar warning. with this reporter's warning, i think staying in the echo room and not seeing other people's opinions becomes dangerous . don't allow others to comment and

don't accept others' opinions. zahraizd sed and sima news agency. our digital , for example, where we liked a content, where we commented under a post, or even the time period we tolerated a post and stopped. with the help of artificial intelligence algorithms , these are recorded in social networks and based on these, our interests are recognized. now this has a positive side, and that is that we are constantly exposed to things that we would like to see or we have already shown interest in them and this has been observed by artificial intelligence and algorithms. on the other hand , it can be the virtual world. we are surrounded only by the interests of our own views. now i want to talk to our colleague mr. salar vaezy, a reporter in the field of cyberspace. mr. vahzi

i greet you in this report that we saw from our colleague ms. izad khah , we had several conversations and interviews with people, which you prepared. i would like to ask you what conclusions you reached about the algorithms of social networks and their effects when you were talking to the people that you think you heard. may it be interesting for our viewers . dear colleague, ms. fatemeh rahnama, mr. elmia, the program expert and viewers of nimrozi talk. hello, mrs. rahnama , we went to interviews in the city around 16 azar street in front of the university to prepare this report. i was in tehran and i interviewed 25 people. among these 25 people, i can say that there are only 10 of them. they are familiar with the word algorithm of social networks, and it is interesting that because they are mostly young people, it was interesting to me that many users

of social networks, many people are not familiar with this term. most of them you interviewed were not familiar and less of them were found in the conversations you actually had with the audience. how much experience do they have that when faced with algorithms, they actually created a special virtual world for them now, so to speak, either in the explorer or the showcase of their social networks and they feel that this will make them not see other views or see other content less. he was at his place of work. he said in my report that you saw: "my explorer is full of food, cooking, restaurants, cafes . this was interesting to me. another user, also a programmer, said that my instagram is full of

coding, learning programming languages." different and now different experiences with a teacher i was interviewing, there was a young teacher who was saying that the way of teaching these things for me is filled in the explorer, it shows that absolutely everything. what we are looking for, we like, we comment on them or even search , the social network showcase is filled, this is similar to this example, and by the way , they say that we are totally focused on a group of content from a range of we don't see specific content and other content, that is, for example , whatever mr. chef sees, it's related to cooking, and

let's go back to the topic of the program. parliament election it is the people of england and the measures of this country's media regarding the flow of information in social networks these days, when you were following the media, how much of the algorithm and the attention of the english media to this issue and its effect on the issue of the house of commons elections did you have any observations that share with our viewers. yes, by the way, we in the editorial office, who were following up on the news , brought you some examples. here, let me show you the news that is circulating on foreign websites regarding this election. i can tell you that abc news wrote that facebook pages are accused of the british election interference has been removed. this dependent reported that the two english labor parties and the reforms in the tik tok and facebook networks

left the conservatives behind. it is the same because the core is the same, which means that because they themselves are stuck in this algorithmic world, whatever they liked before , they see the same specific content with the same positions, that's why i said that this is often due to the content that the algorithm of social networks is based on. . previous user interests and footprints this is how they show them on social networks. one policy institute also conducted a survey based on which it was stated that most americans do not trust their own social networks to receive election news in the united states, and why do they feel trapped because of this story? in fact, yes yes, a website

called people big tech also conducted another survey based on this survey. according to this survey, 61 citizens of the european union said that we do not like social network algorithms to be active for us and to track our footprints in the networks. stay social and based on that for us it shows the content on social networks and this was an interesting statistic that i said, thank you , we will go back to the studio, mr. aliyeh , you heard my colleague's words, now you have a hint. somewhere, the american magazine time used an interesting interpretation. it said that 2024 is the year of elections, more than 60 countries have elections, and perhaps in history , we will see the largest number of voters in different countries in this 2024. now i want you to i would like to ask if you have any examples of users encountering algorithms in other countries in this field

it's great that a plan has been devised so that users don't get surrounded by political issues in a series of news that they only like and leave other points of view. let's check this together. social networks have architecture, design, and technical engineering. because a platform is a so-called software platform, it means that a number of programmers sat down one day and said, "we want to have a program where people can see photos." watch the movie, write the text, then, as we say, like let them like or for example send these stories to each other. well, what should we do now that this is very great, very good? there are standards in programming languages, programming languages, and software design based on the so-called experience of experience, or in other words the user experience will have several outputs.

the fact is that the user should have fun. see , once upon a time, if you told me to sit at the computer and do this, he would say , "i'm not bored. we see that the old man and the old woman are 70 or 80 years old . now, if we consider the 70-year-old old rome, everyone has accounts in many social networks , they have user accounts, they are very active and very influential . a successful social network should have users, because now the social networks of the world have strange users , they have tens of millions of users, sometimes even billions of users in the world. or remove that application above, what does it mean that i work?
