2:18 pm
to do. you know if. this is. what i'm seeing here you say police officer. and then on the left hand side of this picture is a person who has a gun. this is a police officer off different opinions and they believe this or think they have to do extra due to show getting the media claims we don't know if it's really the police or is there. was killing them somebody if it's really hard president who's getting these people.
2:19 pm
see that there are they our president rodriguez who territory doesn't like drugs i hit it out and he doesn't like criminals either by some of the old. he's a bad just like our president is doing everything he can to keep the philippines safe. i'm doing the same in my job so you know i go out with a mouthful so my i protect people who use the application of an occasional. loss of 33000000 jews. go to the media and visit 3000000 that are. that big up to just. the jewish. gentleman in order. to fill your post with what you know maybe.
2:20 pm
i would like to be given notice the few minutes to problem. my guns to me and say them next to nothing from. so much. so well most of the night they made even the killing is wrong but it's better to see the positive side of our leader. and stead of focusing on the ugly side. then i focus on the good thing was i was a monk and i want to hear the negative things at a distance. think.
2:21 pm
if. more words from oh how girls are really hot. so it's like love 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 i said i. was i. was. i. seen her pictures we've seen her pictures online there's actually pictures.
2:22 pm
before her free speech was full of these things before she became politico. no one time during this was during the time when the president still had his. seat if you give interviews he just gave an interview. to the media and. let us know and in that interview more clothes on was fawning 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 now a meeting between a president and an avid supporter is rather disingenuous and. i've had people tell me to buy
2:23 pm
a bulletproof vest i've had people tell me that they would blow my head off and had people tell me that they would bury me alive i've been called they've been called the bias. i've been called the press to choose. the dangerman facebook is that. it's so much easier to fall into the trap of picking sides because it's so easy to publish just doesn't click 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 haven't attempted or does away with. the dangers that you 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
2:24 pm
presented in a very foreigners manicured way. everyone's killing it everything's going great and every plot is up and to the right negatives in general are just not. the work when i was when i was there the workforce i face 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 right and so there's a lot of people who kind of semi live to facebook. to have 2 worlds however possible. facebook is fundamentally a tech company right it's run by engineers it thinks about product it thinks about infrastructure its 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 curator ship it is just not part of its d.n.a. whenever facebook is when 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
2:25 pm
nothing but the you know the political reality is after trump after gregg's it that answer kind of isn't quite good enough anymore and yet i think we're reaching a point where the public a squalling accept that as a reality and at some point the government will step in rights and i think they understand that. there have been press reports that facebook might potentially develop software to suppress posts from appearing in people's news feeds in specific geographic areas is that accurate as facebook developed 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 ip blocking so that the content not be visible in that country remains the sort of sizing it government is a legal in that country you have the capability to block them from criticizing the
2:26 pm
government and their bargaining entry into that country being allowed to operate. so in. the vast majority of cases. where we are on notice of local locally illegal content it's. nothing to do with political expression. facebook removes everything anything from their social media platform and turkish authorities last time to do so. political speech or content of a political nature is in most cases the main subject for these removed.
2:27 pm
i'll show you some examples in terms of what is being subject to blocking already. serving the turkish flag a kurdistan a map caricatures or cartoons mocking our. children platform you look whether it's you took his face well it was too rich or 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 increasingly contralto 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
2:28 pm
government or to use. because none of these platforms want to be looked completely from turkey because then they would be losing users and business. did. you need. to was so visual and was able to cross boundaries so around 2007. we have 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
2:29 pm
. 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 up. there was a point at which for some videos which. we're going to get removed from the service generally because they didn't violate our community guidelines but where 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 those billions.
2:30 pm
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 and it 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 illegal and
2:31 pm
2:32 pm
trigger war good trigger bullying it could trigger killing one's life. so. the opinions are the thinking of the users of the app and supplant the content moderators our job is not nice as long. as you're not in your eyes. thing's not political nowadays. and i think neither you or someone hunch or yous are attacking each other and the one
2:33 pm
song that even though. i'm not really that political. it's all up to you how you overcome those things you know will. meet 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. after that we move on. will be no. thank. me on revealing basis now mostly are coming from the us from that they must be
2:34 pm
winning off. because there is such a nurse against immigrants against different race they make us the black box but it's just a binder for you you can say what. you want since we feed them speech you know it's 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 you don't want to hear i've been an upstart
2:35 pm
for ever manner i've been like this picture for a long time i am going to be the kicker till 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 and just let a bunch of people in because it's like you find out that a lot of them have diseases a lot more criminals a lot of more rapists the minute a shari'a police walks up to my wife and says excuse me used whatever i'm not the. 6 man carrier go in aspect whatever 5th world. came from.
2:36 pm
yahoo. yahoo 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 i wouldn't surprise me people start by. going on and it's 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'm just lots 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
2:37 pm
you know facebook very intentionally flatters those sets of facts by showing you you know what you want to hear i fully and effectively filtering out when you when you don't 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. from 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.
2:38 pm
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 the most outrageous and offensive statements rather than the ones that will create
2:39 pm
more understanding. one of the misconceptions is that human nature is human nature and technology is just this 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 this is 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 outraged 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
2:40 pm
which is most outrageous that which is most fearful the whole environment and to to to to offer us the worst of our ourselves. shared with you the shrewd. facebook's fastest growing markets are in the developing world. persia facebook is being used today as a breeding ground for hate speech for years roy injure refugees in miramar. these are especially vulnerable people that are being violently persecuted leadership in our country is not doing a darn thing what are you doing to make sure this is not used to undermine a nascent democracy especially in the undermining is not losing votes is losing lives. senator thanks for the question. we do have an obligation to
2:41 pm
make sure that it is not misused in the way and we're tied down lives i. senator 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. were you know you see. these people killed these people you know killing. us. in their like in niigata in america. as a bald 400001 who are on the facebook were. facebook is headed being in this spreading hatred against. the united nation described at this range of people of the most positive created
2:42 pm
minority in the wall. in myanmar their internet is the facebook. most of the people they don't even know what is even. on. unfeasable the are spreading the false information if you force anything against a ranger 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 1000 share so the it in that is the authentic you before me she in. the majority of the people in myanmar. hate that rule in. their minds
2:43 pm
is getting was day by a team. in bangladesh and all there are more than one really en route to a future. so . full of the dungannon they snatched my 2 year old baby out of my arms and threw him into a fire and you know how to love me they threw my 5 year old boy into the river. they broke or 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
2:44 pm
2:45 pm
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 quick thought fuller 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 ought to be really careful about the thing that we use we've built.
2:46 pm
the job damages your brain making you think that violence is normal making you think. that killing others spending is normal you see things like somebody who got bombed and they live in is everywhere and the head in the leg is flying somewhere. i can skip those videos but if the quality review figures the talent it is still month to sonera i'm only allowed to make 3 arris in a whole month. when
2:47 pm
i mean when i mean i think there's some money that a lot of the pictures i've seen i don't remember. you might even be getting some of the videos are engraved into your memory. that seems like it was a joke. but i'm not and we didn't know if it was real you know he was attempting to kill himself using a robot all. like you know my lai and then indian it was like not uploaded. so you're not really live 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 i.
2:48 pm
know you've been the man you know local but others were joking and go on do it do it. so it should be as long as he hasn't actually committed suicide you're not allowed to stop his live stream and he thought you know i know you're only yeah here but i can stop my mails if we stop it we're the ones who get into trouble you know. so i would like a quality issue on our part. what. no no. no no no no when he started to get up on to the chair stuff did they let the rope around his neck you would hope that they got when we got nervous you not in a bind not on me and that he was going to go ahead with it but i gave him my name that thingy. they were not killed himself and i just i knew who i knew push the chair away.
2:49 pm
2:50 pm

2:51 pm
during my thigh there was the case of the one who committed suicide. i was responsible enough to come back. and diagnose anything that the something to do with mental health. this guy who committed suicide has been in the news he was the very start. i saw in his eyes at the time that i was talking to him that he is very sad i ask him if i can help be him but he never really admitted that he has a problem. he had himself in his house at the front of the slope. with the rope.
2:52 pm
on his neck. and with the laptop at his front. my disappointment is that i was able to help him. 3 times he already informed the boss the operations manager the police transfer him and if he complained already did that they want that to be transferred the management should do something about it. maybe this is a great for had already. that's
