(applause) wow. let's move on now.to our story. facebook, the my space o twitter. are they violating our privacy? can we trust them with our data. and why do so many people in my news feed have border collies who need kidney transplants.

>> but this week before any of those questions were answered facebook's problems got a little bit worse because it turns out to device manufacturers liketa apple and samsung. and then just yesterday we found out our personal data has gone global. >> facebook is under new scrutiny today after acknowledging data sharing partnershipsith at least fourec. among the chinese companies is huawei, the world's third largest phone maker, some u.s. intelligence officials called the firm a natd security threat. >> trevor: okay, so on the downside facebook may ha comprod national now we aw how to pronounce huawei, yeah t balances out. china may vawl of our personal information but we are only a few more data breaches away from learning mandarin. now facebook say thasehey want to change. but i don't know how easy it will be for the company. considering that the core of its business is to turn your information into profits. which they are really good at doing.

last year ale facebook brought in 40 billion dollars inadverti. which is 98% of their revenue. and it makes sense. i mean lik you think they were making money from your pokes? no, pokes lose you money, just ask bill o'reilly. every me you see an ad, facebook makes money. mor spendn facebook, theore money they make. ich is why they found a really effective way to keem you on the site. >> what people don't see about facebook is that polarization is built into the business mode is p >> facebookds all this time learning your emotional hot buttons and it exploitshose hot buttons because that is what makes you hyally engaged, makes the advertising more valuable. >> making you angry, making you afraid is really good for facebook's business. >> tharytd, basically the human impulse to gnto an ament, never back down and die before ever conceding a single point, facebook figured out how to monetize that. that is the cor the facebook business that might ner r.d you know, mayb all would have caught on to it sooner if

(applaus. >> trevor: welcome back to the daily show. ight is a critically acclaimed author from nigeria whose most recent best selling book is called dear ijeawele, or a feminist manifesto in 15 su please welcome chimamanda ngozi (applause)

welcome to the show. >> thanu. >> tre: i'm so excited to have you here because i have been a fan of your work for a long time. i've been a fan of your words r a long time. ve to ask you before we get into the book, as a person who is considered as one of the most fore most feminists of our time, why is it that so many people see the word feminist as a negative thing? >> because i think that feminism has long been associated with the most extreme ver it. so people think of femints as a crazy woman who hits men and doesn't shave. (laughter) right? and all of these sort of really crazy negativereotypes have been aeminism. so people don't want to associate with it. the to me why do you call yourself feminist, why don't you say you are a humanist or an equalist. well, that is what feminism is. >> trevor: right.

>> feminism is about justice for everyone. but you have to name your oblem. and the problem is that women who have been excluded. so we need to call it what 2 is. >> trevor: wow, that's fascinating, because that's-- (applause). >> trevor: in many ways, in many ways that is the same thing people say about black lives matt >> yes. >> trevor: why don't you say all livatter, we know the restthatter, the problem needs to be said. the book you have written here is really different from your ing, feminist manifesto in 15 suggestions. >> i like that you keep making it easier and easier and easier for people to be feminists. this is a really interesting >> so a few yearo my friend had a baby and she si want her to be feminist,ant h life to beer thran my. she said whad i do. i'm like i don't know. son i thought i should write her a letter. it was an email nay wrote to her. and i decided to turn it into a book and i made a few changes but mainly it was for my friend. and only after i had i baby, pie

daughter is two and a half, did i realize how easy it is to sort of 2e8 people what to do about child raising when you don't have a child. >> right. >> it is much easier to do with a hypothetical child than a rea. >> what will you say is the most difficult part of raising a child to be a feminist. >> you know, it's not that-- it is easy to do but it's you have to fight against, it sort offeea conspiracy against you. so you tell your child, you know, you don't have to play with dolls so then you go to the store and the girl's sections are just dolls. and you know, the still very much that blue and pink in the world, and are you trying to teach your child you can be whoever you want to be. but it can feel as though there is a lot that you need to pushback, you know, from the world. but it is doable. and very optimism about how we can change the world. >> trevor: what you say then it's still possible for a woman, i mean i know my mom always say this to me but some people struggle with the concept. would you sit's possible for a woman to say i am a feminist,

i believe in equality, but i still ope oriike that gesture or is problematic in and of itself. >> thing b by the wayur mother is wonderful, just from reading your book. >> thank you. >> trevor: are you. >> y a so fortunate to have been raised by her, trevor, i'm serious. raise.k everybody good in you is >> trevyou know what is funny is-- (applause). >> trevor: i appreciate that. but the way you said it, it is a beautiful compliment that sounds like an insult, you know, everything good in you is from your mom, the rest of that isat is you and your dad, thank you. how do you respond? >> i think just like holding the door shouldn't be gender. i think it is a lovely thing to hold the door but we should hold the door for everyone. i hold the door for men and women. >> trevor: right. >> and so i think the idea of sorted of holding the door for a woman because shea wo i have trouble with it i'm quite happy for people to hold door for me but i hope they're not doing it because of this sort of idea of c hiv alry

because that is an idea that women are weak. people that we should protect are people who need protecting, whether men or women. which is also why i sort of have with the on an women are classified in the same, like when there is a tragedy and we say women and clirn should leave first. i think actually the people who are weak, unwell, you know, should leave first. >> trevor: interesting. when raising a child and saying i am going to raise a feminist, for many people they immediate connotation that will come to their mind is that means you are raising a daughter. >> yeah. >> trevor: but from reading your work, a lot of the work has to be done by men. men need to participate. why is that so important? >> because men have to be on board. i think you ca change women all you want, if you don't change men, nothing changes because we share the. it is men and women. and i also think that we live in a world where men are more likely to listen to>> oh. it's true. >> trevor: wow. >> you done think so? >> trevor: so how do you convince the first?

>> i think some men have already been convinced. people like barack obama, is a very good role model because he is feminist and he is cool. so he is actually- need more men like that to sp like the men need to spieng. men need to be on board. men need to not think of feminism as something to sort of-- something that is attacking them. >> trevor: right. >> i think some men think that. they need to understand thatfems good for everyone because really when all of us are released from gender roles, we're all better. >> trevor: right. >> and in the end it is about justice, don't you wa just worl. so there are some men who have been convinced. more men need to be. trevor, you should get cracking. (laughter) (applause). >> trevor: i'm going to call my mom, that's what mi going to do thank you so much for being on the show, i really love speaking to you every time, an

amazing book, dear ijeawele, chimamanda ngozi adichie, everybody. we'll be right back. (applause)
