place are joining us this evening you're watching international. the u.s. department of homeland security has authorized migration officials to use fake social media accounts this is to monitor people seeking to enter the country but it does fly somewhat in the face of efforts to purge online networks of false profiles . explains. fake social media accounts the latest weapon in homeland security's arsenal the department's updated guidelines have officially made cyber disguises fair game for its agents the fraud detection and national security directorate is updating this privacy impact assessment to provide notice that officers may use fictitious accounts or identities on social media platforms to protect national security public safety or to combat immigration fraud homeland security claims
1:02 pm
these fake accounts could be used to clean up the process of legal immigration detecting fraud finding weak spots and immigrations vetting system and conducting background checks are all listed as areas that could be improved and although communicating with other users is forbidden there's still one problem with the idea fake accounts used for surveillance violate the use its terms of both facebook and twitter it is against their policies to use fake persona and to use twitter data for persistent surveillance of individuals who look forward to understanding u.s. c.i.s. proposed practices to determine whether they are consistent with the terms of service and might be against company policy but this isn't even a 1st for u.s. law enforcement earlier this year police stations the d.n.a. and ice work s'posed all for using fake profiles isis facebook personas or even connected to a fake university created to entrap illegal immigrants looking to study there as they were exposed to facebook moved to delete those accounts law enforcement
1:03 pm
authorities like everyone else are required to use their real names and facebook and we make this policy clear in our public facing law enforcement guidelines speech overrating fake accounts is not allowed and we swiftly act on any violating accounts. but an internet privacy watchdog says the social media giant isn't doing enough facebook's practice of taking down these individual accounts when they learn about them from the press or from e.f. is insufficient to what we believe is a much larger iceberg beneath the surface we often only discover the existence of law enforcement fake profiles months if not years after an investigation has concluded facebook no they obviously they don't care about anything they only care about making more money and and blocking people who are doing good things i mean they abuse people's private information it's built into their system and they don't
1:04 pm
want to do anything about it until someone holds them to account so thankfully the guardian pointed this out and then they they blocked it but how many things did the guardian not see and there are just literally thousands and thousands of these things that are out there ordinated in authentic behavior is what facebook terms fake profile activity and since the 2016 election the company has been on an all out crusade against it i think to city matters because people need to trust that the content they are seeing is valid and they need to trust the connections they make or identifying and challenging 8 to 10000000 suspicious accounts every week we're also going to require people running large pages with large audiences the united states to go through an authorization process and confirm their identity over 2000000000 accounts were deleted in the 1st quarter of 29000 alone with fingers pointed at russia 1st and then iran and china later on and all the while congress has been spurring on the assault your companies announced
1:05 pm
a series of successful disruptions that resulted in the removal of pages groups and accounts my instinct is to applaud the diligence some of your security teams and credit you with taking the problem very seriously social media giants might find it easy to declare war on an authentic. activity it thinks might be going on abroad but when they know that their own government is itself using underhanded tactics to advance its agenda who knows if the same standards will apply. we have asked facebook and twitter for their reaction to this development we've received no comment as yet. they'll turn it over germany party or a.f.p. it's also known is celebrating the anti immigration euro skeptics came 2nd in state elections in brandenburg and sanctioning significantly increasing their influence in those parliaments. was.
1:06 pm
one becomes one of the party's biggest victories but it's yet clear what the next steps will be the ruling christian democrats have already confirmed that they won't work with the fdic can will become clearer later this year as peter oliver explains . well starts off in brandenburg it was a win for the social democrats in a campaign that they were neck and neck with throughout the alternative for germany picking up around 23 percent of the vote there with the social democrats winning on 25 percent in saxony we saw massive gains for alternative for germany it wasn't enough for them to win the state that went to the christian democratic union anger merkel's party 2728 percent for alternative for germany in saxony could end up rising as high as 30 big gains for them there and it is the sensational results we have achieved the best result in local elections ever and we can see that 30 years
1:07 pm
after the fall of the wall governments the don't want to be left wing need the. let me just see it is clear these 2 elections have had only one winner the dean we've seen from other politicians who have been looking at these results from alternative for germany and they're not happy about the role they've played in allowing a.f.p. to make such big games. i am happy that we have a really good result what worries me is a result in this means we continue to face big challenges in this country. we all hope for more and wished for more and i'm also disappointed like many others are disappointed and question i as the lead candidate also share responsibility for this result alternative journey were founded as the anti euro euro skeptic party back in 2013 but it was following the influx of refugees and migrants into germany
1:08 pm
in 2016 that they started to pick up a lot of points a lot of votes in the east of the country the big problem is going to come now is how they're going to form some form of coalition in these 2 states because the major parties the established parties i guess you could call them now. in both states have said they will not work with alternative b. germany that means you probably looking at at least a 3 party coalition in both states a well quite confluences coalition a real broad church is going to have to be put in there because of the large chunk the large proportion of the votes that alternative for germany have picked up in both the states of brandenburg and saxony here in germany. and we got the views of both the f.t. and the left party on those results. if de has an agenda and real that is based on it will centric nationalism militarism to liberalism as well as racism exclusion interests on to morals success of the g.'s war you. also have
1:09 pm
the governments this happens on the fundamental of the last 30 years of german politics 30 years of your liberalism is politics destroying the humans fundament at least of the german society and it's the left. didn't find the coup to really criticize the qualities which is conducted in the moment consequently there is a problem and it's a problem as well to my mind the journey they are. doing very well inside it and they bring forward to schools this which feet the ideology of the if as long as that happen. really not be easy to have a u. turn to change their will call it x. you can be very powerful even many on a position and especially when you have a weak governments against you and what we see in sex on even just
1:10 pm
a most important east german federal state and there we have a christian democrat party that at least used to be quite conservative and they have greens that are already a lefty for greens so now they have to to build a coalition or do they don't fit together at all so we've all have a weak government we've all seen the party members of both the greens and the christian democrats are very on a happy about that so i don't your government will be very unstable and we have a strong and we are together and united and when you are a strong opposition force and you have an unstable government then you can kind of reach a lot so i guess it's a mistake that you have to be part of a government to change a country. you can change it by good position by good media and by good argument and that was the task force in the next years. for a 2nd day
1:11 pm
