11:17 am
the power to share anything they want with no they. didn't there are now 3000000000 people around the world connected via social media but who decides what this world is committed to see. didn't. they need to be anonymous because we have a contract saying. they were declared whom we are working with. the reason we speak to you is because they were should know that we are here we are doing our best to make this platform safe for all of them.
11:18 am
to do. boy if. this is. what i'm seeing here you say police officer. and then on the left hand side of a dispensary is a person who has a gun. there's history with this officer you offer different opinions and i believe this is related to extra due to show kidding media claims we don't know if it's really the police or there. was killing them somebody if it's really a current president who's getting these people. see
11:19 am
that they're our president rodriguez who territory and doesn't like drugs i use in their ads he doesn't like criminals either by some of the old. a surprise just like our president is doing everything he can to keep the philippines safe. i'm doing the same in my job. you know i go out at the mouth so my i protect people who use the application of the occasion. loss of 33000000 jews. go to the media don't visit 3000000. that may not be just me. but just. didn't want to hurt. really opposed to what you know maybe. i would like to be given notice
11:20 am
the females the problem. of my gun to me and say the next generation from the. so well goes i mean i think even the killing is wrong but it's better to see the positive side of our leader mug and then side and stead of focusing on the ugly side. and i say. then i focus on the good thing was i was a monk and i want to keep the negative things at a distance resounding.
11:21 am
was. more learned from oh how girls are really hot. so it's like mom at 1st sight. and my favorite is my. so. i the mohawk girls are hugely influential in the philippines people from all over the world watch them on social media was an addition to being popular they also support our president. was. i was i. was. i. seen her pictures we've seen her pictures online of hers actually pictures.
11:22 am
before her free speech was full of these things before she became politico. now one time during this was during a time when the president still had his media blackout he refused to give interviews in egypt he gave an interview. to me to get. my letter. and in the interview more sun was forming all over president expressing her support for the president and calling for a boycott of media so i wrote the post on my facebook and i said that it's fascinating that a meeting between a president and an avid supporter is rather disingenuous and. i have had people tell me to buy a bulletproof vest i had people tell me that they would go ahead and that people
11:23 am
tell me that they would bring me a life i've been called corrupt and i've been called them by yes. i've been called the press to. the danger when facebook is it. is so much easier to fall into the trap of taking sides because it's so easy to publish just. people can be very emotional and people can be easily carried away with quick snippets of information that makes you think that you understand this is why for example we have a crumb or this is why we have attempted or this is why. the danger is that we might lose democracy because we're willing to give it up. and there's this code of silence and silicon valley or everything is always
11:24 am
presented in a very foreigners manicured way. everyone's killing it way everything's going great and every plot is up and to the right negatives in general are just not. the work when i think when i was there the workforce i faced was very young and if you're young you don't really have draws on your time you have a wife and kids whatever and so there's a lot of people who kind of some i live the facebook. don't have the world power possible. facebook is fundamentally a tech company and it's run by engineers it thinks about product or thinks about infrastructure it thinks about scale and thinks about the user experience it's not a media company doesn't think about content or content creation or content editing or curatorship it is just not part of its d.n.a. whenever facebook has been confronted with hey you have a responsibility to this to this thing their response is there we just do math we have this algorithm and we get we give you what you want and we had it almost nothing but the you know the political reality is after trump after gregg's it that
11:25 am
answer kind of isn't quite good enough anymore and yet i think we're reaching a point where the public asc won't accept that as a reality and at some point the government will step in rights and i think they understand. there have been press reports that facebook might potentially develop software to suppress posts from appearing in people's newsfeeds in specific geographic areas is that accurate as facebook develop software to suppress posts from appearing in people's news feeds in specific geographic areas. we do have many instances where we have content reported to us from foreign governments that is illegal under the laws of those governments so we deploy what we call geo blocking or people walking so that the content will not be visible in that country remains sort of sizing it government is illegal in that country you have the capability to block them from
11:26 am
criticizing the government and their bargaining entry into that country and being allowed to operate. so in. the vast majority of cases. where we are on notice of local locally illegal content it had nothing to do with political expression. facebook removes everything anything from their social media platform when turkish authorities asked them to do so. political speech or content of a political nature is in most cases the main subject for these removed.
11:27 am
i'll show you some examples in terms of what is being subject to blokey already more well. the turkish flag. caricatures or cartoons mocking our going. children platform you look whether it's you tube with his face it has to return turkey is the country which restricts more than anyone else across the globe. turkey has always been a country of censorship the traditional media is even creasing the controlled by the government so turkish people have been turning to social media platforms but now they're constantly pressured by the turkish authorities to remove or block content. these companies started to do deals with the governmental
11:28 am
authorities. because none of these platforms want to be completed from turkey because then they would be losing users and business. you could. be. he too was visual and was able to cross boundaries so around 2007 we started to experience a lot of blockages so when a government doesn't know how to reach you they just turn you off in their country
11:29 am
. it took us a while to figure out what it was they were upset about we finally managed to get a hold of the specific videos that they were unhappy with some of which were about ataturk some which they claimed were terrorist videos that were again violated turkish law and so i remember being up at like 2 o'clock in the morning one night reviewing 67 videos that the government was upset with and then make decisions from there about what to remove and what to keep but. there was a point at which for some videos which. weren't going to get removed from the service generally because they didn't violate our community guidelines but we're were illegal in turkey that we decided to block by the ip address for turkish users so that users in turkey would not be able to see the.
11:30 am
i did not love that resolution but that's that's where we got to. these are really backroom deals that the public doesn't have a lot of information about. when these governments in a kind of back channel way go to the companies and say we want you to restrict this this expression on your platform. it will push companies over time to make these decisions on their own and they have to make decisions about what the law means so that the companies are deciding what's lawful and what's not what's
11:31 am
illegal and what's legitimate and that outsourcing to companies i think should be really quite disturbing to people in democratic societies. the need surely off the job itself you are not allowed to could meet one state. she could make one mistake you could ruin one more done one thing. it could
11:32 am
trigger war good trigger bullying it could trigger killing one's life. so. the opinions of the users of the out and sometimes it can. why do you use our job is not the same as what. i want as you not being a everything's not political nowadays. not only for you so my hunch are you sir attacking each other and one song with me though.
11:33 am
i'm not really that political. it's all up to you how you overcome those things you name. means on the exam times it takes me 8 seconds to make a decision on the damage to me whether i should ignore it or to lead to ignore rich or even. after that we move on life is all about will be no. thank. me on revealing in case of snouts most are coming from the us from that they must
11:34 am
be winning off. because there is such a nurse against immigrants against different race that makes us the black box but it's just a binder for you you can say what. you want since we have on the freedom of speech you know if not for. when people say hate speech isn't free speech or free speech is a hate speech there are completely wrong because the 1st amendment is specifically designed for things that people don't want to hear i've been an upstart for ever manner i've been like this picture for
11:35 am
a long time and i'm going to be the kicker until i die platforms like facebook it's available it's that it's accessible. you just need to be crafty with social networking like youtube or facebook or whatever. the users have their own skills enough to shoot something in upload. i believe the whole refugee thing. you just don't open the gate just let a bunch of people in because it's like you find out that a lot of them have diseases a lot of them are criminals a lot of them rapists the minute a shari'a police walks up to my wife and says excuse me using whatever i mean not that. it's a human carrier go in aspect whatever 5th world. came from.
11:36 am
najaf. co-op the sable i'm signing up from berkeley it's good seeing all the patriots and all the people on the right that i saw here others are huge crowd amazing people down the street they're still. pretty big police presence here i'm kind of curious how long they're going to be around because i know as soon as they go. wouldn't surprise me people start by. saying. i don't want to so politically polarized that. i mean someone from the sort of blue end of the spectrum can even have a conversation with some from the right and the spectrum. and i mean there's a lot of reasons for that i think facebook created this i think facebook definitely amplifies it and makes it worse you know it used to be the case that every citizen had a right to an opinion and now every citizen has a right to their own reality right to their own truth to their own set of facts and
11:37 am
you know facebook very intentionally flatters those sets of facts by showing you you know what you want to hear like the way and effectively filtering out we don't want to hear by and large. and so i think to a degree in a democracy requires that we actually have a common set of both rules of behavior and also ground truth that we sort of debate around right and if you don't have rows of behavior due to whatever reason you don't have a basic ground truth then i think democracy becomes a little impossible. the leftist thinks you're being politically correct. we're the ones with the guns the bullets and the training. and soon as we can start shooting. believe me that's going to go away really fast.
11:38 am
i don't know that we can place. all of the blame and responsibility for hytrin in our world on the social media platforms but where i think that the new tech companies need to really reflect. is whether they promote. that type of engagement whether they have built systems that encourage and accelerate and the most outrageous and offensive statements rather then the ones that will create more anger standing.
11:39 am
in one of the misconceptions is that human nature is human nature and then technology is just as neutral tool it's not amplifying anything but this is not true because technology does have a bias and that bias that it's as a goal is actually seeking a goal and it's just the goal it's seeking is what will get the most number of people's attention what tends to work on billions of people and successfully extracting their attention out of them and keeping it not just getting the attention but then getting them to share things and so it turns out that outrage is really good at doing that whether facebook wants to or not they actually benefit it getting more attention when they show feeds that are filled with outrage versus if they said let's not show those things amplifies that which is most divisive that
11:40 am
which is most our rage is that which is most fearful the whole environment tuned to to to to offer us the worst of our ourselves. share with you the strange. facebook's fastest growing markets or in the developing world. president will face charges being used today as a grieving ground for each be i guess roy injure refugees in minima how. these are especially vulnerable people that are being violently persecutor the leadership in that country is not doing a darn thing what are you doing to make sure this is not used to undermine nascent democracy especially in the undermining start losing votes is losing lives. senator thanks for the question. we do have an obligation to make
11:41 am
sure that it is not misused in the way and we're tied down lives by. sen i don't disagree and we do believe we have a role to play in raising visibility but at the same time not be used as a tool to for example foment hatred or glorify violence in any way. we're here you see. this be both killed these people you know killing palazzo give false alarm in the leg in niigata in america. as a bond 400001 who are on the facebook were. facebook is helping in this spreading hatred against. the united nation described disrobing to people of the most plus who created minority
11:42 am
in the war. in memo their internet is the facebook. most of the people they don't even know what is. on. unfeasible they are spreading the false information if you force anything against that you will be popular you will get there not of like combat as you know you a lot of share it spreads within one or many doesn't share so the it in that is that what the information. the majority of them you both in. the hate that ruling. their minds is getting was day by day.
11:43 am
in bangladesh and all there are more than one b.n. right there are a future. so . full of the dung. they snatched my 2 year old baby out of my arms and threw him into a fire you know how to lead me through my 5 year old boy into the river valley and if they broke our bones and set fire to us. they hit me in the head with a bamboo stick. they cut my ear. then one man held me down and the other one
11:44 am
raped me when my daughter cried they hacked away at her 3 times. she's been most helpful with these.
11:45 am
was happening with the genocide in burma. is obviously this is just one of so many social extreme allergies that are be create being created by a few platforms that are made right here in california by a handful of people who look kind of like me you know young white guy engineers whose decisions no matter how awful are conscious or less conscious they are will impact what 2000000000 people are thinking you know the people in burma have no accountability they can't say there's a pothole on the street called this fake news it's leading to this genocide there and having this environment living in facebook every day and they're spotting this pothole called fake news which is feeding genocide and they have no way to report that and get it actually taken taken care of we've got to be really careful about the thing that we use we've built.
11:46 am
the job damages your brain making you think that violence is normal to make a new thing. that killing office building is normal you see things like somebody who got bombed in their lives every way and the head in the leg is flying somewhere . i can skip those videos but if the quality review figures it talent it is still mark to sonera. i'm only allowed to make 3 errors in a whole month. when
11:47 am
i mean when i'm going to be there some money a lot of the pictures i've seen i don't remember. you might be getting some of the videos are engraved into your memory. but on a good deal that seemed like it was a joke. but i'm not we didn't know if it was real you know he was attempting to kill himself using a rope. like you know my light on the an indian it was like you're not uploaded. so you're not really life with maybe thousands of viewers watching it and i know. there were comments like don't do it don't kill yourself don't commit suicide. do you buy them on your local brothers were joking and go on do it do it. so it
11:48 am
should be as long as he hasn't actually committed suicide because he thought. that i gave him my name that they need. a night they let me kill themself and i knew who i knew pushed the chair away.
11:49 am
beat it and listen struggling for his life. i don't know why they got his neck was already broken. like a monkey with a bee you can't let the videos get to you. simply. but it's different for each

11:51 am
during my final there was the case of the one who committed suicide. i was responsible in not going back. and diagnosing anything that the something to do with mental health. this guy who committed suicide has been in the news he was the very start. thinking that if they came in humans they yearlong so they don't believe that the has a problem. she found himself in his house at the front of the slope. with the rope on his neck. and with the laptop of his from.
11:52 am
my disappointment is that i was able to help him. 3 times he already informed the boss' daughter ations manager to please transfer him and if he complained already that they want that to be transferred the management should do something about the. maybe this is a great for had already. to
11:53 am

11:56 am
. it takes courage to choose hope over fear. to say that we can build something and make it better than it is ever been before. you have to be optimistic to think that you can change the world we do it one connection at a time. one innovation at
11:57 am
a time. day after day after day. and that's why i think the work that we're all doing together is more important now than it's ever been but. you cannot. ignore. he. he. ignored. you cannot. ignore if you can only are ignored.
