some of which can put me to jail up to 15 years. now ruckel is broke says a war of attrition is on the way when she and her colleagues i determined to with here's what we know. we know that and arrest warrant in issue. obviously it makes you feel vulnerable, but i think that's the point, right? this is the time to fight. this is the time to tell people here, here's the line, and you have to make sure that our government doesn't for us. it because when it does, we're no longer democracy. mm hm. i am a pretend millennium, but i'm turning 5555 years old. 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 war? i'm at the front lines. i feel it. i know it. i have the data to prove it. 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 olga, where do people, the pino scope, and before that, it's alexa. oh, you have alexa. it doesn't require ish finding this information in the use of your

daughter. and yet 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. ah. and in the philippines, it really is the internet for 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 of 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 us . it is to stop us from reporting. it's to intimidate us, so we don't so we don't challenge i think the, the biggest wake up 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 the raptor would fight grappler 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. we can i tweak what's your post. 1 let's do that story next semester, pavement. 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 somethings we could find is this a good luck with that 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 loose. why don't i start? because you're here from the london school of economics. i will introduce you to palmer and settings. done a lot of the groundbreaking work on looking at fresh and this information heater pomerantz of welcome to manila. let me just figure out we're being 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 fueled a new type of what i might term papa. 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 eat, 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 tendencies. so back in the 20th century, you could, you could shut off your population with censorship, right? you could just block off tv channels, they 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 this kind of left his emotion. no. so only the most emotional and vickery emotional need a 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 resume. yeah. that pooling low tech 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 so strategically. ah, facebook has admitted that the philippines is patient 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 and 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 when 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. data created a database of social networks that spread this information that have been used and attack. so we have more than 350000000 comments more than 15000000 accounts. so it's a big data set. it is probably the largest outsider, facebook. the key thing here is to go back to the way the new tier 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 alum. like looking at that database, you can pull out keywords,

you can pull out attacks, and you can get to exactly how the attack began. and the velocity sprint 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 with the press 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 one from one in november, they asked me for the data again in the french elections. that data helped pull 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 and so we can still fight it and we're using the data to that ah, the labor blue is in the color who's going to grease or youth is legal processes are being used against us. that does have impact on the business because the minute an advertiser now signs 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, 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 that will dig through social media, narrative strategy and, and distribution strategy. but i look at what cambridge analytics did and how certain political parties use social media to understand and then, and then create messaging and then target. in essence, that's a lot of what this is. and i'm just wondering whether so i can talk and then carla can also talk so from english because the cynical viewers are this is psychological manipulation using technology in finance or marketing and dinner. which is actually i remember what was wrong with team which analytical, it wasn't the psychological analysis, it was the way they got their data breach a breach of data. so sure the senses, it's okay to influence your psychological outlook, but it's not okay to steal data. really we have

a couple of companies don't know how to use social. yeah. well, except to put ads in facebook and they're realizing that that is not a good thing with him. is it she think mom and dad are we? yeah, we should. it's their anniversary. right. yeah, hi mom. i was gonna send you the photo from florida and got to see doctor talk to mom and dad. i'm going to show you the have been having dinner. the kids are here in the notes here. i bye guys love you. love me, my lord. thank you for this is neil, please put ahead of protection around all of us and those that we and those that we care for so that we can walk in your life. one is mine

alone. anyone touch you see the case? yeah, i feel whatever i need to get. i am 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 ok to the end goal of all of this is to actually take up space. so the less space it takes up the better. right? i guess for me, i think that was a lot of pressure to do after hearing, but i really maybe i can finish

when the case came and they were threatening to shut us down. we were like we're not than a dock. that's like an old way and i yeah, i'm connect thing was connecting me. i thought maybe we are looking for new products that raptor can build. 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, what they do, but it's also committed in a different way. so that's our end goal. this is my really yes. i mean, i don't have kids. i realized my, my longest relationship is with journalism guys, you will get, i will send an email of all of the awards that you got there because they've been incredible. it's been a good year even if it's been a bad day, starts to the year. but i think the energy of the folks are one of the reasons we

survive and we continue barreling. so there's nothing. it feels like when we act like a team, nothing will get in our day who we can barrow through with. people are throwing their lives into it. right? people such as me. it's are it's wrapped. look at their faces. off. i come see you make me emotional. owned they, but leave. so i, but we're going to with it anyway. um actually the easy part is the rational rate is really taking care of the team ah,

with you've got a look for home 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 crohn will meet with us and it's something that is, it's really an initiative by the reporters. r. s f reporter 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 kind of nice at the scene, get a cam wife fi here. yes. okay. i will, i will set up because i'll try to live stream the event unwrap with a if. if a l f f a 217. thank you. yes for some his own that because when you got a little odd. mm. good deal paula solution. i'm doing this with and it's a you with disease, you mentioned the ac when you do call guy. you know, what's horrible with that. it would be contra lighting. you know,

what did he go past? she says i should watch food activities if you got to. that's what i promise it won't happen with any do. but i go over you the civil so he's 3 party mom and was more song or 2 on the more as horrible. i'll have many choices. nobody because he feels infamous from eagle. on the phone with you don't have anybody 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 whole school, along with ours, thank you with thought of english for the small round table about situations as well as the fisher to her to with goes with her us years of journalist and ceo of the rosler, you know, almost 97 percent of filipinos or on the internet or on facebook for wrapped blur

of social media is both a positive and negative. it is both good and evil depending on how it's used. but free speech is being used to stifle free speech. hope 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. oh, we're things go really terrible. ah, this is anton from r s of sharon, a body to nobel prize, and zia or moscow. why can you manage the dual role? oh, thank you sir. i do

think the french understand that if facebook hadn't taken down to 30000 take accounts that from on may not be present or they don't really think that that's from back in spec, they don't really think with it's an interesting question whether it is or is so, oh, that's interesting, you know, based on their 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 the journalism in turkey today? whiskey and dentures professional development, emerging coffee, people haven't a chance to like globally. so we need to find that global solutions to globally with

we have an hour when the president mccraney. i want to understand how one head of state, who's holding the line for the way he looks at it. and what he thinks is even possible . i want to ask him, what can be done? what are other leaders in democracies talking about will be a li, manila manila. yeah. i had been in manila 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? it sounds good. i hope i no time to go into exile. yes this i will say

with what did you think? what did you think that the meeting i knew sufficiently cynical, but my normal expectation for a meeting with i had of state is that will be a problem. that essentially will be a performance for some political purpose. but it was a remarkable sounds like you were actually having conversation with somebody who actually has to influence a political relation. so we'll see what actually comes of it. it was an off the record discussion with him on that cron 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 want? who is 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 it will be

moving. hebron boys breathe and fly pigeons. but in this occupied palestinian city boys are also close to watched vice really forces at times shot and often arrested. a delicately told tale filmed over 5 years of a coming of age and a place where even a child's imagination is heavily restricted for the skies above had brought a witness documentary on on jessie uta ah and informed opinion. there is a need, fabulous federal government to take action to really facilitate aid, right. in depth analysis of the dates,
