these have been and that includes stars who pitched the messages in the aftermath. it needs to be down. for about seventeen minutes the gunman live streamed the massacre on facebook shortly after copies of the video appeared on other social media outlets the platforms did try to block the content but not before widespread public outrage over it. in the first twenty four hours that removed one point five million views of the attack globally which over one point two million were blocked at a player would we continue to work around the clock to remove violating content using a combination of technology and people clues no we are working vigilantly to remove any violent footage. facebook deleted the video after a warning from police authority said that the distribution of such content is punishable by imprisonment the us media or legal analysts lionel and also counterterrorism expert jennifer braden whether tech giants should and could it
2:03 am
quicker to block the video. i respectfully submit that when you show violence against human beings it's a form of pornography we have to as a society say no facebook you can do much better for kids for people who would see this not necessarily because it would inspire the next shooting which is very well good because these losers need some form of acclimation out of just human decency without bringing in the government as laws and about preventing future attacks like this and then going on to censoring when this attack happens how in the world does that prevent this attack we're spending so much time talking about we can have videos like this with as or so or think it might lead to more rather than answering questions that need to be asked i mean one of the main problems i'm seeing here is that we continue to put band-aids on gunshot wounds and we need to stop that we need to stop putting band-aids on we need to stop saying let's just stop everybody from there that he doesn't you know we can get rid of x.

2:05 am
authority to social media platforms to tent that. that is allowed so when i hurt us later we don't know who they're going to not like it's all subjective no matter what kind of computer algorithm at the end of the day it will be subjective now listen dr burke do me a favor if you see somebody shooting and killing people shouted down we'll talk about it later don't have a debate do you think that maybe we're giving one person die die die die die die the right to automatically and who's to say whether this could one day be done today people being shot dead whether this might include war coverage or rep or how many people much apart mean that while as we're debating this there is some kid somewhere which we never talk about watching this seeing real time slaughter or the families of these people or whatever of this is violent pornography yes this is horrible that i never want to see this i never want my children to see this i don't
2:06 am
want any person to be subject to this kind of violence in this horrible obscene material these publications but this is what i have seen governments cannot stop this these companies cannot stop this people who post something positive about donald trump are being taken off of social media because of social media heads and managers and so we want them to ban other things instead of us and that is my main thing is that they can't they will not do the conversation went on facebook public discontent nor just over its handling of content of video but also how it treats personal data has been a year since the scandal broke around political consultant from cambridge analytics you may recall it reportedly bought personal data from facebook which you then sold on to third parties used to gain political advantage with us through this morning donald courts are looking at whether facebook's privacy policies have changed in the year. one might say facebook's had a productive year in its fight against fake news perhaps you've seen their war room . read the headlines.

and heard the assurances we've deployed new ai tools that do a better job of identifying fake accounts that may be trying to interfere in elections or spread misinformation mark zuckerberg has gone after both sides of the political spectrum from alex jones to the russia friendly left it's also been a year since it broke that the social media giant had sold off the data of eighty million users to a political advertising firm transferred facebook data to cambridge analytic or personal data mined from nearly eighty seven million facebook users the largest security breach in the company's history this is this is a challenge for our cloud companies so what is facebook actually done aside from zuckerberg saying sorry that is not was a big mistake now was
2:08 am
a mistake and it was my mistake and i'm really sorry that this happened i'm sorry and i'm sorry for it spoiler alert not a lot facebook promised a forensic audit of cambridge analytic but never delivered then they said they'd look into apps with suspicious activity and punish those who broke privacy rules the last we heard of that was august twenty eighth team and then there was the promise of a new option to clear personal information from the platform if the user wants facebook said that the changes would only take a few months back in may last year and we're still left empty handed but will facebook come out unscathed the researcher behind the cambridge analytical app is suing facebook for defamation alex did not lie alex was not to for all its alex did not deceive them this was not a scam facebook knew exactly will this app was doing was should have known facebook desperately needed to scape or is reporting that some facebook shareholders may have been complicit in the data harvesting and the buck doesn't stop there either

the federal government is now investigating how zuckerberg treats client privacy you have to see deeks very seriously recent group which raises substantial concern . both of privacy broke to sophie's book it's been a year since the biggest privacy scandal in social media but at least facebook scott in a round of censoring alternative media donald quarter r.t. . threads from in this is facing new setback to a speaker of the house of commons no says there could be no meaningful third vote alyson if it can changes have made all this with less than two weeks before the u.k. supposed to leave the european union has got the story. if you call it an f. for your homework would you take it back to the teacher and try to get him or her to change the grade simply because it was coming up to exam time and you really needed to pass most people wouldn't but that's pretty much what to reason may was trying to do with her beleaguered brags it would draw all deal it's been rejected
2:10 am
by politicians twice already and yet we've been hearing rumors ever since last week that the government was planning to bring the unchanged deal back for politicians to vote on for a third time this week one m.p. called it a polished turd of a deal take a listen to what happened in parliament in order for that to be turned around and through the motions of course it would require a significant change what we've seen meaningful both one two three four five of them for night and would be their way of getting this book deal through the house went to leave the european union in eleven days and there is no. i mean no certainty the speaker of the house of commons has thrown a constitutional curveball into reason maze court the it has been strongly rumored . though i have not received confirmation of this that third and
2:11 am
even possibly for a meaningful vote. will be attempted what the government can more legitimately do is to resubmit to the house the same even proposition or substantially the same proposition as last of last week which was rejected by one hundred fourteen. so there he is told paedo ing the idea of to resume a having a third meaningful vote unless she substantially changes what she's putting in front of m.p.'s to vote now his base. it on a legal precedent called us skin may the reason i'm telling you about it is you might be airing this phrase skin may a lot this week essentially it is a parliamentary mechanism a terribly old one it's been used as far back as the seventeenth century to stop parliament or rather to stop governments bullying legislation through parliament
2:12 am
a lot of politicians think that that is precisely what to resume a is trying to do here but what does all this mean for brags that well if it was possible this is made her job even harder than it was already and she's set to attend the e.c.u. council summit in thursday but now she needs to come back from that with a substantially improved deal when the e.u. has said repeatedly that there is absolutely no way that they're going to reopen these negotiations or give the u.k. any more concessions so mission impossible for me which i'm going to tell surely isn't it only comes in the meantime some people take the more light hearted view the chaos of westminster right now for the french minister for europe is named. bricks it because of his habit of asking to be let out but then refusing to leave.
