it's just one on those things that you feel this is yes yes i believe in this i'm still not but i'm an independent on a mission for america. that's a vote the idea that. affords dongles raised. it's about it's about the believing in you again it's about that. as a filmmaker i would want my audience to support that when men begin first as a unit i would definitely want my audience to be a jumble with it and say yes this is what i want and. i have tried to be very honest with the film the story isn't mine yes i. repaired off from my sister was a childhood incident she was the one who planted chocolate all of them so i have put in the elements of my childhood off but i suppose in my influences that i've had. the little incidents that used to take place in my own backyard i have cried a little bit of everything to stay honest to the whole thing but still think the

whole even from my point of view. i'm trying to create that language where this kid is a shy kid and it doesn't speak to all of that is how i ended up not giving him more . than a word of the need to be i wanted him to express through the i just didn't want anything to shout and scream and cry just assure that his discipline i wondered something which is very subtle that he expresses but it's very an expression is a shy kid although he doesn't speak he would still stand up for his dreams but his belief. the nation will give you a lot of difficulty because you know the rules but when it when it comes down the flipping those pages and understanding animation you know everything goes for cost at least my first five line drawings follow and for it all because i don't know what the book like i did and they were not working on it though there was this one

man that i started to like and i said yes i'm going to go it's really. i can't tell you the number of problems that i phased out. so bang my head was i would not have been on a mission right when it began making vagabond i laid my mind was always walking in one particular direction because i have been born and brought up the those are the images that have come across on the bank so i know what i sat good with all i ever knew my exposure maybe a school little that i ended up doing the same bank owns all that by. mixing what along with digital it gives you more freedom then it kind of gave me the opportunity to relate can thought about going on one on a digital and then who's these are not children their shows and all luck and knowledge of them and that i'm get an image their lives with really appealing.

if i have to visualize my kitchen. i don't visualize a dark blue because those are the on those that i haven't been in know when i see it i see here that there could have been a better shot than i could have taken a shot sort of an establishment hardware you know follow on building even on a nation i just wondered the goal of what i what what my mind makes me think like the immediate damage that comes to my mind is when i will go away. from this one film because of the kind of film and does it also tell you about the soul of this guy and i just wanted to follow the story i just wonder before make break all stuff as if it doesn't have structure i don't mean it's ok and i'm fine

with that that will. be. news is happening faster than ever before from different places from different people and you need to be part of band you need to be able to reach people wherever they are and that means being across all social media platforms this is where our audience lives as well as in front of a t.v. or on the smartphone there on the tablet there on the keys and. that's the way al-jazeera is of all into a true media network. called have sex attacks during pamplona is bull running fiesta i'm after. we make sure we don't walk around on our own and we look after each other and try to stay together we're

five minutes time off to people in power which is next. recent elections most notably that to trump was u.s. president of heart like to the dangers to democracy posed by those using social media and the internet to spread malicious propaganda and fake news so how in war you up up from such as facebook google and twitter so i wanted to include views in

a two pronged special report we sent to investigate. san francisco and silicon valley tech companies driving the digital revolution see themselves as positive agents of political and social change facebook's mission is all about giving people a voice and bring people closer together those are democratic values and we're proud of google's mission store going to growth information and make it universally accessible and use the more you learn about technology the more you learn what's possible. at the winter park and. if we want to be

a democracy it's up to us to make sure that we have our giving better. russia's manipulation of these platforms during the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election has raised fundamental questions about their systemic vulnerabilities do you solemnly swear to tell the truth last november the companies were summoned to appear before the us senate intelligence committee that's right it's not new russians have been conducting information warfare for decades but what is know is the advent of social media tools with the power to magnify propaganda and fake news on a scale that was unimaginable back in the days of the berlin wall you've created these platforms and now they are being misused and you have to be the ones to do something about it or we will what you're doing by allowing this fake stuff to come across this misleading this damaging information is threatening the security and

really softening of our nation i wish your c.e.o.'s would be here they need to ass answer for this after repeated pressure from congress facebook disclosed last september that four hundred seventy fake accounts a link to a shadowy company with ties to the kremlin the internet research agency had spent some hundred thousand dollars to purchase more than three thousand ads most on divisive hot button issues this company. to protect his cause and included post many would characterize as anti immigration oriented most of the russian sponsored facebook page heart of texas attracted nearly two hundred fifty four thousand followers part of texas group created a public event on facebook to occur at the islamic center in houston texas to stop the islamization of texas russian operatives also created a page for united muslims of america a real group whose name they commandeered to promote a counter protest at the islamic center. but neither side could have known is

that russia. were encouraging both sides to battle in the streets and create divisions between real americans causing this disruptive event in houston cost russia about two hundred dollars. the russians created more than one hundred facebook pages to exacerbate social divisions in the u.s. there were pages for african-american groups and police advocates southern nationalists and liberal activists. bt supporters and christian fundamentalists army of jesus and other russian pages ran anti hillary clinton ads during the election each of these fake accounts spend literally months developing networks of real people to follow and like their content these networks are later utilites to push and to write this information. the day before the hearing facebook revealed that russian content used as many as one hundred twenty six million americans

twitter found more than thirty six thousand russian accounts that generated one point four million election related tweets seen almost three hundred million times and google disclosed that russian trolls likely posted eleven hundred videos on a team new to. this is a yes or no question do you believe that any of your companies have identified the full scope of russian active measures on your platform said our investigation to. to news so i would have to say no certainly not with certainty right now and we're still working. on a comprehensive investigation but these are ongoing issues and we continue to invest again we are relying on twitter facebook and google to find and reveal this information and it's been dropping out so i think we have a long way to go before we know the full story seed of idea nothingness director of the center for media and citizenship at the university of virginia the author of the google ization of everything his new book and the social media will be released

this year russia interference is alarming but the biggest effect that social media have on the prospect of democracy has to do with undermining our ability as citizens to think and act. effectively and collectively why do you think the world is in the midst of an internet assault on democracy since two thousand and eleven what we have seen is the rise of thora tarion leaders often elected in places like poland like hungary like india like the philippines and google and facebook and twitter have all been used by these forces and then in my own country donald trump laid almost all of his hopes on a facebook based campaign i lay two thousand and seventeen facebook reached almost two point two billion people that's stunning and if you were to design a communicate of system a propaganda system for nationalist forces for anti muslim forces

for authoritarian forces you could not build a better platform than facebook. we set out to investigate why facebook twitter and google are such powerful tools for malicious actors who want to spread this information and undermine people's faith and democracy the first stop was in silicon valley to meet with the co-founders a blitz metrics dennis you and logan. they teach social media marketing their own advertising campaigns on facebook for the n.b.a. champ golden state warriors and more than one hundred of their clients. facebook is the world's most powerful and sophisticated targeting platform it is a database instead of a social network facebook sorts its users characteristics into hundreds of categories making it easy for advertisers to target people with great precision and you don't have to be a statistics expert you can just click on a few buttons and the system will do the work for you in two thousand and sixteen

the trump campaign spent most of its hundred million dollar digital advertising budget on facebook you when young demonstrated how facebook could have been used to reach blue collar workers in michigan a state that usually goes democratic but that trump won by less than eleven thousand votes i can do based off and come you know if i know average blue collar worker makes fifty one hundred k. so i could say people that are conservative are very conservative they can be a.f.l.-cio members they could be against immigration and there's all these other issues that we can block it and here we can even put in labor union or the united auto workers right if you have the kind of content that's directly relevant to that particular group such as the u.s. auto industry isn't as strong as it used to be so this is dated facebook has brought together from many different sources not just their political that's right we have this information of your membership we have your zip data we have if you've made that donation and we know the kinds of products that you're buying in the supermarket everything that you're doing that doesn't involve cash usually makes

its way to facebook but the most powerful capability facebook provides comes from combining its data with out of advertisers themselves so think about the trump campaign they have all of the information of the people that are making donations they upload that to facebook and facebook and say i'm going to find friends of people that have donated and then i can combine that with the other day that we're showing and say how many of those people are also in michigan and are all. over thirty five and are also working in detroit and are let you know laid off at the ford plant and you can also test the messages that work most effectively with yes then you can spend just pennies to be able to see how they're working and they showed how a small amount of money spent promoting a client's video resulted in millions of views and i can see here we spent five hundred six dollars and for that we got to reach ninety four thousand and ninety four thousand times showed up on someone's feed but it has over twenty nine million views and the reason is the shares this is been shared four hundred twenty thousand

times so really what you want to do when you buy is generated shares at exactly the russians are really good at pushing incendiary content that people will just have to engage and have to share the russians device of content one hundred twenty six million americans on facebook according to the company but you points out the ads were seen over and over again by the same people who appear in a news feeds hundreds of millions of times and do you think that these hundreds of millions of impressions that they got. maybe maybe not was that in michigan or florida or places that close i don't really know but what i do know is that they're saying how effective facebook is and how we can micro-targeting how it's great for advertisers that are selling furniture in cars at the same time you don't think the hundred million impressions on facebook can't create an impact on an election like you can't have that both ways of course facebook influence elections that we used to joke about how you throw an election using various tools at facebook which facebook could do. and tony martinez worked at facebook from two thousand and

eleven to two thousand and thirteen and played a central role in developing facebook's micro targeting system. responsibility there was product manager for ads targeting which meant basically turning all your user data into money for facebook what role do you think facebook played in donald trump's election oh huge i mean political pundits get things wrong all the time right but. well trained machine learning algorithm trained on good data doesn't often come up with the wrong answer and i spent years building tools to basically defeat human reason or human error you know dominate human tastes it's very weird but don't you think that can be a real problem when used as political candidates in their messages rather than consumer products right now i think politics are somewhat different right at the end of the day our democracy and our political system depends on it and that's frankly more important than selling a pair of shoes like no question right martinez is much more concerned about the way facebook encourages people to live inside their own echo chamber which is also

called the filter bubble to me the bigger issue that i really don't see a solution for is the sort of filter bubble slash fake news problem right where you know citizens used to have a right to an opinion and now they have a right to their own reality you know facebook flatters their vision of the world and they're never forced to challenge their assumptions you know they can go off in some rabbit hole of untruth they spokes mission is to give people what they want in their news feed and executive providing orientation drove that message home to martina's and his first day of work he had this very sweeping vision of you know the new york times of you in fact the accident from a question is like what is facebook you know sometime in turn said oh it's often i was like no wrong right it is your personalized newspaper they basically feed you anything that you engage with by engage means likes comments share etc like their news feed algorithm is optimized for that facebook recently announced changes to its news feed that will prioritize posts from friends and news from sites that users rate is trustworthy but the changes could reinforce filter bubbles and do little to stem the spread of bogus news.
