6:38 pm
selling on the beach is still bad. but i just had to work again. because the government doesn't provide enough support. pca. copacabana beach is of course an icon of rio de janeiro. it's also a place where rich meets paul. sun travels for 4 hours every day just to work if things go well he barely takes 100 euros home with him. i know this disease is killing a lot of people but if we all stay at home we'll die anyway only without work and food. strict social distancing measures all theoretically in place but the police have long given up trying to enforce them almost no one has follows the rules it's an open goal for the virus as more and more people take ill and die and while the state is failing to control the situation pressure mounts to open back up
6:39 pm
as if everything's returned to normal. that's plain to see as we leave the beach. the usual hustle and bustle has returned to the alleyways of the old city. almost half of brazilians work in the informal sector and lift day to day so they have no choice but to be out. i me a few shops was supposed to open off to quarantine but hardly anyone stuck to that . will brazilians we don't give up we will battle and we muddle through the city security came around a couple of times and tried to stop us working again i just quickly tied everything inside and left the door half open up all. cattle and her family are also back in business selling food from the trunk of fact car. the lockdown took a big financial toll on. we're taking the

regions have even had to build musgrave's brazil isn't strong contention with the u.s. to become the world's worst affected country. the poorest are getting the worst of it we travel to the fellow one of the biggest and. people here seem to feel abandoned. a truck has just arrived with donations today it's been disinfectant volunteers from a citizens' initiative help unload the truck. and. we have to fend for ourselves that's the way it is in the 5. 1 of. the younger ones are doing most of the heavy lifting it's hope that they have a better chance of surviving a covert 19 infection. 20 year old student is one of the organizers. to get much more attention there are so many dead and so much sadness among family
6:42 pm
and friends. that's what motivates us. we've already lost a member of the team to the kimono virus and my friend who's just been helping out is infected right now. that's not going to faint you know. it's especially dangerous to distribute goods in the back alleys of mar a guy. ruled the streets the volunteers took this footage for us outsiders are not welcome at the moment the virus is spreading and the inhabitants have no real means of protection. it's not clear how many people embers it was poor of course has a falling victim to the virus because people who don't get tested don't turn up in the statistics that is certain is that the number of deaths has multiplied dramatically feels betrayed by her own government to make enough money but the government doesn't care about the favela were really angry with the state. because it doesn't just make liked us it's also racist and we suffer at the hands of the police here in the fall so i think again the 5 alun and most of the young black
6:43 pm
people who are killed come from the favela. most of the black people who die of covert 1000 come from the following and. right now we're at the epicenter of the coronavirus the core of you dish. and that the very people who are now packed on to buses and trains again. to go back to that job stirring things like cleaning high end shopping malls so that those who can afford it can safely consume. the phallus of the city's engine room cleaners laborous street silos but also teaches nurses and bus drivers live here in these crowded settlements collectively indispensable but easily replaceable as individuals for decades this is the cynical equation that's cappers 0 running while keeping rich and poor wells apart. fake news and conspiracy theories like the notion that 5 g. radiation makes you sick have flourished on social media during the pandemic much

dissent from ation has spread on facebook reminding many of the platforms role in the 2016 u.s. election campaign. back then with the help of data analysis from cambridge analytical wealthy right wingers and russian operatives targeted voters on facebook possibly influencing the outcome of the election. critics of social media say its potential for manipulation undermines democracy. the internet seemingly invisible and intangible place but they're also invisible dangers lurking beneath the surface. to me it feels like boiling a frog you know very slow incremental changes and we end up as the ball from. britain's bricks it and us selection of donald trump were among the 1st political
6:45 pm
campaigns to use algorithms to target and manipulate who uses. such a new form of censorship a very very strange one. democracy is vulnerable now because we are vulnerable to manipulation but we don't even notice. we meet someone in london who's played a part in that manipulation christopher wiley works for cambridge analytical the company behind the worst case of data abuse in facebook's history it was co-founded by former white house chief strategist steve bannon and ended up serving as a propaganda machine what he was analytic as showed is. how easy it is to infiltrate american political discourse and manipulating the harms that have come from the. sunni is akin to you you know a weapon of mass destruction destruction 6 years ago while he left cambridge
6:46 pm
analytical he became a whistle blower and testified before the u.s. senate he's written a new book a peek inside the engine room of mental manipulation. the purpose of. the algorithms. they came in general in a creative word to identify people who were more. princeton neurotic traits or conspiratorial ideation the company caught hold of and analyzed the data of millions of facebook users to identify that individual fear is together with psychologists cambridge analytical was then able to develop targeted political propaganda for different types of people that have the power to skew someone's viewpoint even if by just a few degrees rather than talking in public i can whisper in suit each and every single person here i remember. watching
6:47 pm
a focus group where. african-american women would talk about how vulnerable they would feel going to their 2nd or 3rd job at night walking alone in the middle of a city and that you know they needed a gun to protect themselves if you're a right wing campaigner you go ok so let's ignore all the race justice stuff let's ignore equality let's focus on the feeling of being a vulnerable black woman in the middle of the night. cambridge analytical no longer exists but the tools they developed still do journalist peter pomeranz earth research is propaganda at the london school of economics. in the west we did have a social contract for 60 years around certain types of discourse. that we've learnt from so to the charities that we don't use but the internet just took it to
6:48 pm
a different place and suddenly all this stuff that was forgotten you know we do not do demeaning the other in polite discourse you know we could hinted it the tabloids played with that you know they they kind of they were an echo of nazi or soviet propaganda but to just see nazi propaganda all the time on the internet every day is pretty pretty shocking one tactic used to destabilize democracies is to flood the internet with contradictory narratives this is freedom of speech but used in a way to camouflage the truth what they do is something that some people call censorship through noise they. flood the information space where so much this information information chaos and what steve baron calls flood the zone with. the people can't tell what's true or false anymore so this is censorship not through constricting but through opening up the gates of information. it's like a place has been created where freedom of speech starts to attack itself it's easy
6:49 pm
to believe that politics will never catch up with the digital world but that may not be the case. imagine entering into a building that was built by an architect that didn't have to follow any safety standards because we put certain terms and conditions at the front of the door and what we have in software engineering and data architecture is no rules we need to have a legislative framework for digital technology that recognizes that it is a product of engineering they're not services the books my wife. as a warning no one from cambridge analytical suffered any consequences for their actions there are calls for a regulatory body to approve algorithms move fast and break things was once a facebook it's obviously worked. in our global
