most diverse place i've ever worked. we have so many different nationalities and necessities brought together in this one youth organization. and this diversity of perspective is reflected in our coverage, giving a more accurate representation of the world we report on and that's a key strength of balance is here. digital media pioneer. maria red is the founder of airlines side rack. la bria, cortez, they can use it is whatever power doesn't like how the president of the philippines of rodrigo, do tech says he wants to kill as many people involved with drugs as possible. analysts his critics, and that's public candidates grappler. i'm on my new site known to be critical if the government had its license revoked a few weeks ago. and goal is to silence. when people don't know what is

real and what is free, when facts don't matter, then voice with the loudest, mega phone gains more power. i'm facing 7 cases, some of which can put me to jail up to 15 years. now ruckel is both says a war of attrition is on the way when she and her colleagues are determined to with guess what we know, we know that been arrested warren been issued. obviously, it makes you feel vulnerable, but the point, right, this is the time to fight. this is the time to tell people here. here's the right. and you have to make sure that our government doesn't for us. it because when it does, we're no longer democracy. hulu ah, ah,

i am a pretend millennial, but i'm turning 5555 years. oh wow, i've been a journalist for ah, more than 30 years. ah. alexa played best play list resuming spotify when our president rodrigo detector was elected the campaign machinery that helped elect him was weaponized and went after anyone who was critical of the drug war. and also journalists in particular were targeted. mm, this is a war for truce, and the biggest casualty in the war for truth is how many people have been killed in the truck more? i'm at the front lines. i feel it. i know it. i have the data to prove. here's what happened in the philippines when facebook we came to toxic. i watch alexa ranking every day, which is a website, ranking of, of olga where do people philipino school and before it's

alexa. oh, you have alexa. it doesn't record dish. well, finding this information in the use of your daughter, and you have alexa, how can you plan for the future of what we can become if you don't try it? part of the problem with old power right now is they don't understand new technology. and part of the problem with the people who build the new technology, they don't understand old power. that's what needs to merge. mm hm. facebook changed and in the philippines, it really is the internet. mm. the journalists role as gatekeepers. that's dead. in the ed. it comes down to the tech platforms, social media in particular will determine what gets delivered to people. mm

hm. in january 2018. the government of the philippines tried to shut raptor down, were being investigated. and then we're, we're facing legal cases, one on ownership that could land me in prison for anywhere from 5 to 15 years. the court of appeals came out with a decision after midnight. they denied our appeal harassment. it is to distract the cities to stop us from reporting it to intimidate us. so we don't so we don't challenge with i think the, the biggest wake of call for the government was the day after they, they tried to shut down rosler. there was a global reaction to which i don't think they counted on that they also didn't

count. that raptor would fight rapper was a dream in 2011, a group of friends. and i kind of thought that there's this new technology that is, that we can't completely try out inside traditional networks because everything that made traditional media successful will go against what we wanted to do. what can i please, can i tweak what you post. 1 1 let's do that story next semester ment. glenda. yeah. we started with 12 people. 4 or 5 of us were about 40 at that point. um and and then we hired the smartest 20 some things we can find

is this a good look with the mug? oh, what do you, how do i fix with? i think it's largely unfixable. i mean i've been trying to fix it for 40 is to lose . why don't i start because you're here from the london school of economics. i will introduce you to palmer and symes done a lot of the groundbreaking work on looking at russian this information heater pomerantz. of welcome to manila. let me just figure out where be manipulated there disinformation and misinformation campaigns by both state actors and private interests. what do we do about it? does a much deeper question, is that social media has kind of fuel a new type of what i might term populism is much more emotional. and with an enemy very abstract one who is blocking your very private grievances,

the stablish with the elite, foreigners, doesn't matter. so you, you actually wrote a lot about russian dis, information. how would you define, think about it from the point of view of a leader with author. it's harry and sentences. so back in the 20th century, you could, you could shut off your population with censorship, right? you could just block off tv channels. he can't do that anymore, right? so instead of turn a sense, the things you spread as much cynicism as possible, you undermined the idea of trust. you say, yeah, maybe our media isn't buffer the bbc, cnn wrap plan. they're all bought. i once you undermined the idea that there was any kind of truth out there that all of us kind of left his emotion and the so only the most emotional and vickery emotional leader wins. it seemed like in the short term, only the tech giants have the ability to quickly fix certain things. if we start uniting, right, the forces of good know that something we can be tomorrow,

it is truly our research that trula tak me, is that started, it started ya. and we need a little bit maybe some resources to help with that, right? so we start acting source procedure. kathy mm. facebook has admitted that the philippines is patients 0 in the war against this information. 2016, the campaign machinery of now president detective used facebook and social media to win an election, but they didn't stop there. we began to see these vicious attacks on facebook against anyone who questioned the killings in the drug war. and in october, i wrote this 3 part series on the propaganda war. when we released it, i was attacked. the propaganda machine came after us with our bag in then it was immediate. you know, i've been called every animal you can think of. i've, my sexual life has been dissected. and at the beginning, i faced it like

a traditional journalist where you try to fight it, then you realize no, you can't. it's not built that way. you don't fight this by looking at content. you fight this by looking at networks and looking at algorithms. that's when i realized something news going on, and we began gathering data. we call it the shark tank. but what it is is it's truly big deal with social networks that spread this information that have been huge than attack. so we have more than 350000000 comments more than 15000000 accounts. so it's a big dataset. it is probably the largest outside of facebook. the key thing here is to go back to the way the new tear to campaign ran. the social media campaigns this, so organize that they have a content creator for the elite, then there's a content creator, a blogger,

for the middle class, and then the blogger for the mouse base is now the head of the social media for the presidential alan, looking at that database, you can pull out keywords, you can pull out attack, and you can get to exactly how the attack began. and the velocity bryn took the shark tank. we connected it to a slack channel. if something is spreading beyond a certain frequency, it will send us all an alert. once we fact check it, we can send it to facebook and facebook will depress it in. ready in august of 2016, i gave facebook the data that we had. and i said, you really have to look at this because, you know, you have us elections coming up and this is so alarming that trump could win. and we all laughed. we laughed. and then went from one in november, they asked me for the data again in the french elections. that data helped pulled

down 30000 homes. this database, this big data is, is the story of how a robust democracy became a dictatorship. that's certainly where we seem to be headed so we can still fight it and we're using the data to that. ah ha, blue is mcculler. this guy, this is grease. are you? he's legal processes are being used against us. that does have impact on the business because the minute an advertiser now signed a contract with rapper. there's a risk involved for them. so what we did is very quickly when we saw the trend and that, that advertisers were scared. we then came up with a whole slew of different products that we could offer. so, discovering the propaganda machine led us to our new business model. if you think

about it, it's a specific thing we're selling here locally. it is what we did building community for what we did for rapper is what we're we're offering to do for them. but it is data driven will dig through social media, narrative strategy and, and distribution strategy. when i look at what cambridge analytics did and whoa, you know, certain political parties use social media to understand and then 5 and then create messaging and then target. in essence, that's a lot of good. this is, and i'm just wondering whether just a so i can talk and then carla can also talk. so from this because the cynical view is, or this is psychological, manipulation using technology in finance or marketing in general. which is actually a you go, remember what was wrong with team which analytical, it wasn't the psychological analysis. it was the way they got their data right?

breach the breach and the data so, so you're the senses. it's okay to influence your psychological outlook, but it's not okay to steal data. is that really we as world sending up of companies don't know how to use social? yeah. well, except to put ads in facebook and they're realizing that that's not a good thing. a mom and dad are a week. yeah, we should it's their anniversary. right? yeah. my mom. oh, i was gonna send you the photo from florida. you gotta seen doctor talk to mom and dad. i'm going to show you the so we're having, we're having dinner. the kids are here in the notes here. i bye guys. love you. love me, mom and dad. my lord, thank you for this meal. we put

a hedge of protection around all of us and those that we love and those that we care for. so that we can walk in your life a min one. it's mine alone. anyone touch? you see the case? yeah. i feel whatever i need to get very often i'm not going to get emotional about you guys. do you guys worry about you to maria? don't worry about me, i worry about you all. so i think you just tell me what you think i need to know, which is probably okay to the end goal of all of this is to actually take up space . so the less space it takes up, the better for me, i think that with a lot of prayer food you have to do after hearing, but i really feel maybe i can finish by

when the case came and they were threatening to shut us down, we were like we're not gonna dock. that's like an old way. i. yeah. i'm connect thing was connecting, i mean we are looking for new products that raptor can build. right. obviously we're working on it, but we'd like to work with you because every person in this room has not just displayed great talent at what they do, but is also committed in a different way. so that's our end goal. this is my really, it's, i mean, so i don't have kids, right. i realized my, my longest relationship is when journalism dies, you well, again, i will send an email of all of the awards that you got there because they've been

incredible. ah, it's been a good year that even if it's been a bad, a difficult bar to the year. okay. but i think the energy of the folks are one of the reasons he survive and we continue barreling. so there's nothing it feels like when we act like a teen, nothing will get in our day who we can barrow through it. people are throwing their lives into it, right? people such as me, it's are, it's raptors. look at their faces off my cups. it makes me emotional and they believe. so i but you know, going to with it anyway. um actually the easy part of the rational rank is freely taking terms. the teams

ah you got to look for in collaboration. it's hope in solidarity. i came to paris to join this commission, but it's an inaugural meeting of about 20 people who are working on this information in different parts of the world. hesitant mac cron will meet with us and it's something that is it's really an initiative by the reporters. r s. have to put your sense frontiers. i think the technology platforms,

the social media platforms, are forced to confront what they've created. what they've done now is allowed evil networks to take over and that has actually had an impact on democracies around the world. so it's going to be interesting with us here. nice to see get and we have why fi here? right? yes. okay. i will, i will set up cuz i'll try to live stream the event on rap with a if, if a l f f a l 217. thank you. yes for some of these on

that because when you just send it on, let me good 0 dollars on visionaire, i'm doing this with and it's how you with disease. you mentioned dia, could you do a whole guy? you know, it's horrible with that, it will be contra lighting. you know, what did he will she see lots to watch? the music. that's what i found that it will get will be delayed by go over you the 2nd. so you sleep, mom and was more or tournament. that's horrible. i'll have many choices because he feels infamous from eagle, on the phone with. you don't get to see about. that's perfect. so i'm on you to be the shadow business person. she received the nova with her eyes. she think that while she is one of the chairs of this question, along with ours. thank you with thought to the list of all the small round table about situations as well as the fisher to her to with us. she is

a journalist and ceo of the rocket, you know, almost 97 percent of filipinos or on the internet or on facebook. for wrap. blur of social media is both a positive and a negative. it is both good and evil depending on how it's used. but free speech is being used to stifle free speech. whole is used to power you into silence and, and for all of our countries. how do we give free speech without the excesses of people who want to manipulate this new technology? the condition in the philippines is offering us a capsule into the future where things go really, kara this is and con, from r s of sheer in a body to nobel prize. and zia moscow watch, man,

and that you will. oh, thank you sir. i do think the french understand that if facebook hadn't taken down the 30000 faith accounts that may not be present or they don't really think that that's that kind of high suspect. they don't really think the circuit board ma'am. actually, it's an interesting question whether it is or is. so, oh, that's interesting, you know, based on the actual behavior. yeah. turns out to be a very, very important study. you said you have to come to our country. how would you describe journalism in turkey today with kim dentures? professional emerging, my country who haven't a chance to reach the truth. it's like, globally. so we need to find solutions to

leave the slide it we have an hour when the president mccraney. i want to understand how one head of state, who's holding the line for it. no, he looks at it and what he thinks it's even possible. i want to ask him, what can be done? what are other leaders in democracies talking about? well they'll be a li, manila manila. yeah. i had been in monday there many, many years ago. oh please. if you ever come, i love to show you city. how long have you been in since 2009 and your family is with

i hope i know have to go into exile. yes this. i will say, nick with what did you say? what did you think of meeting? i knew sufficiently cynical that my normal expectation for a meeting with the head of state is that will be a problem. but essentially will be a performance for some political purpose. but it was a remarkable sense that you were actually having conversation with somebody who had to be has to influence a political relation. so we'll see what actually comes with it. it was an off the record discussion with him on that kron is one of the leaders that was targeted by

these bad actors on social media. is he a leader with liberal values? does he stand for things that the geopolitical actors did not whine who was behind those 30000 fake accounts. that's interesting. he probably knows. he certainly didn't say anything about it. the constitution of the philippines gives me certain rights to protect my ability to do my job. all of that was stripped away by the social media platforms. there is absolutely no accountability for the platforms to spread lies exponentially. you should not allow it to spread. that's what i'm looking for. that's it will be

blue in hebron boys breathed and slight pigeons. but in this occupied palestinian city boys are also close to watched vice really forces at times shut up and often arrested. a delicately told tale filmed over 5 years of a coming of age in a place where even a child's imagination is heavily restricted. the skies above hebron, a witness documentary on on jesse era. a war in afghanistan is now told will non taliban figures make up a part of the government? and then american youth can only afford within the taliban. and believe that there will be a house for the taliban inside story packet and frank assessment in the days headlines
