9:02 am
spread of extremist content. i would call on now social media platforms of all variety to demonstrate the kind of responsibility that both lead to these have been and that includes stars who perpetuate their messages in the aftermath there is a lot of work that needs to be down. for a run seventeen minutes the gunman lifestream the massacre which left fifty people dead on facebook shortly after the video appeared on other social media sites the platforms did try to block the content but reportedly it could still easily be fined hours after the atrocity. in the first twenty four hour was removed one point five million views of the attack globally of which over one point two million were blocked and apply we continue to work around the clock to remove violating content using a combination of technology and people lose no we're working vigilantly to remove any violent footage or facebook ses it was only notified about what had happened
9:03 am
twelve minutes after the live stream ended police in new zealand have warned people spreading the footage is punishable by imprisonment we asked attorney jennifer britton media analyst lionel how social media giants should be addressing the challenges posed by their technologies. 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 you very well good because these losers need some form of acclimation out of just human decency without bringing in the government and laws and penalties and we're hearing from officials government officials from the prime minister in new zealand talking about preventing future attacks like this and then going on to censoring when this attack happens how in the world is that prevent
9:04 am
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. rated movies should it come down immediately yes should this be kept from the public yes take it down i want facebook and others abroad to have exactly you whatever attitude allow your world and they have we're talking to you now and you're doing about t.v. do you know they're talking about arguing people will hardly blinded from these sightings will fellow lying dead but you're not talking about how will this prevent it nobody's talking about prevented the question is should be banned them say yes to what i want facebook to do is if i put certain stories about certain political issues i am shadow bad show fast and i want them to use that technology
9:05 am
in their genius to figure out wait a minute we're having somebody right now people are being killed this is going to come down from our platform what my concern is when we continue to ban these kinds of things can ban this kind of stuff that's only going to perpetuate shadel ban and that's something i agree should never happen but we're giving. ject and hour and authority to social media platforms to tent that is unless it went to 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
9:06 am
many people would support me that while as we're debating this there is some kid somewhere which you ever 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 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 will facebook is facing public scrutiny not just over its handling of hate content but also for what treats personal data it's been a year since a scandal broke concerning political consulting firm cambridge and i listen to it reportedly bought personal data from facebook which it then sold on to third
9:07 am
parties who use that to leverage political advantage to little quarter looks at whether facebook's privacy policies have altered since. 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
9:08 am
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 it was a big mistake and that was 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 and 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 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
9:09 am
not deceive them this was not a scam facebook knew exactly will this app was doing was should have known facebook desperately needed to scapegoat and alex was the scapegoat at the same time a british newspaper 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. to see deeks very seriously recent bruce reports raises substantial concerns about the privacy broke to sophie's book it's been a year since the biggest privacy scandal in social media but at least facebook's got the round of censoring alternative media donald quarter r.t. . france's armed forces minister has a took the trip administration for putting pressure on washington's nato allies to buy u.s. made weapons she sees the integrity of be alone should not be undermined by
9:10 am
america's financial interests. the alliance should be unconditional. otherwise it's not in the lines. nato solidarity close it's called article five not article if thirty five while in the statement that you just heard the french defense minister was referring to u.s. combat aircraft which is after thirty five an hour the minister was expressing concern over u.s. president donald trump said quite as she said conditional approach towards nido and say european allies she was speaking at the atlantic council where she stressed that it is steinem that europe move away from full dependency on us that weapons supplies and she also spoke on long term u.s.
9:11 am
commitment to nato this is how the french minister slammed trans idea of a needle solidarity europe has the single most open markets. and i'm personally more concerned at the notion that the strengths of nato. might be made conditional on allies buying this or that equipment the french minister's words are highlighted by the wrists and spats between the u.s. and turkey and the us a blast at turkey's refusal to abandon its deal with russia to buy russia's as four hundred air defense systems now it cooled one of the major stumbling blocks in the relations between the two countries but we're concerned about their purchase of the russian air defense system called b s four hundred that's a big problem you know it goes against our policy to have a nato allies such as turkey use an asse four hundred system part of the problem
9:12 am
with that is that it is not in iraq robel with other nato systems we've also made it clear to turkey that we have very serious concerns with that stated plans to proceed with the acquisition of the russian four hundred missile defense system calling for you were to become more and more independent from us weapons supplies is not something new just last year the french presence in one way in mccraw in the voice decades old idea to create really european army which would be independent from its a partner on the other side of the atlantic but the us president donald trump harshly criticized that idea he even called it insulting so it's really saying is that what's happening now is that some needle countries are willing to move away from being fully dependent on u.s. weapons supplies while washington is doing everything in its power to stop that
