across the board and all of the social media platforms and is a key element of this battle is the influencers and the money that they're getting are in slow. it's just taking a big chunk of the marketing by just the traditional budgets of those traditional media is that's a good question. i mean, i think that influence, there's way a different role than traditional media. they are content creators for a new digital age, and they play a highly important role. and going back to your 1st question, what makes social media platforms successful? so if you think about tape talks, early era, and i'm sure they're doing this to some some extent or another brain. countries in which they 1st started coming in. they started spending a lot of money on bringing influencers onto the platform, cultivating you influencers and giving money to people so they can spend their time generating content on the platform. and the one reason for that is if you have good

content, you're going to have like if you build it, they will come right if you have good content and people will come on to the platform. um, but that also gives influenza. there's a upside roland. these platforms, in terms of, you know, they construct their own advertising deals with, you know, major companies in charge, you know, anywhere from thousands of dollars to millions of dollars for like you have for it for displaying, you know, and for typing up some company's products on their platform, but it also makes them very susceptible to, you know, government regulations when they do come in and, you know, question mark of how does this create or economy then respond to respond to government regulations, threatening their livelihood? is a very interesting question. is there a social media platform that is more attractive to influencers and what makes influencers actually decide to go on one platform or do they all now just do multi platforms. and i think most influencers right now are multi platform and it's easy

for them, right? because if you see what tick, tock did, they essentially took like the early off or of buying the short from form videos and made them popular again. and now every company from a youtube to facebook, instagram, which is owned by meta, is doing them. so it's not, it's not, it's not that difficult to say, i'm going to put some content up on tick tock and then repeat that content on youtube, instagram, facebook and monetize it. and all of those may major media platforms. well, i think all this brings us to the pandemic and the rise of take talk. it was actually a hero because it kept people at home and still engaged, interacting, and active. i feel like everybody used to be cheering for it and now they're cheering for his demise. so what do you feel like happen to change the tide? yeah, i mean, i think that's a very interesting question and i think part of it has to do with where tip top

comes from. if you look at the major media social media platforms that arose during the early odds, they're all american social media companies, right. the pit tick tock, even if they're new offices for, for like by chance are based in, you know, single 4 or, you know, they're moving to ireland. they're still a chinese company. and i think that gives a lot of legislators for posts because whether it's facebook, instagram, or tape talk, we by downloading these apps and using them, or giving them a lot of data on who we are, what we do, where we are, and all that data can be used and manipulated. we've seen that happen before. we're there is a potential for that to happen with

a social media platform like tick tock. the fact that you know, they're sharing data into chinese data centers raises the major question. and i think this is a legit question that that data can then be used by the chinese government. and so you see a bi partisan support for a cautious approach to a company like take talk. thank you to kendra palmer. and it seems like a great time take a break because when we return, we're going to look into why people are only concerned as certain government have access to their data, rather than all of the the

the the house load it. right now you can go to the picture rising to the monster, but it's like, uh, like, like a home or somewhere. i can use it to put a name on my want the same. i gotta use the fact how much tax the person was for the how much the

welcome back. we are looking at the various condom receipts, running a tick tock with our guest tech feature editor for business insider to kendra palmer decatur. there's a multiple advertise. i want to go with your answer on this. so 1st, from a user perspective, nothing is free users get on social media platforms and then shocked their information or activity have advertisements garnered for what their posts are, what their interest might actually be. nothing is ever free. one has to give something, shouldn't people have expected their data to be used from all the platforms including take talk? yeah, of course. i mean, i think this is the implicit understanding of a social media platform is by engaging in it. we are not their customers. we are their product, everything that we do on it is then be sold to advertisers and there's, you know,

positives and negatives that are associated with that. that's not unique to take talk that across the board. so what can any government? and i want to say this includes the chinese government do with the information they gained, which out of tick tock shows, honestly for me, i'm a bad dancer, a horrible cook, and then even worse, giving tips on how to clean, why should all of this be alarming to the traditional consumer to yeah, i mean, i think it's different data, right? like the other sort of and, you know, i think that right now the question of how this is happening is, um, still a question mark. we've seen that play out in other parts of the world. so we have a reasonable understanding of this. but, you know, the big question is, can these top ones be used to manipulate us in certain ways with misinformation this information? what not, and those things, you know, they may not care about how your, you know, your cleaning tips and all those things. but they might care about your location

where your base, they might care about the content that you're engaging with to see has a sceptical you are to certain points of view. um, those are the questions that i think companies have about tick tock, but again, i want to stress that those questions are just as legitimate for facebook and instagram, the degree to which facebook and instagram handle that. those questions are also, you know, different and require scrutiny. but it is a question that is social media at large. why is it just lately? those questions are just being focus on tick tock. if every social media platform is collecting the same data. why are we now seeing congressional hearings on tick tock? uh, yeah, i mean, i think its, uh, its progression, right? like there's and we had these hearings around facebook and cambridge analytic a around, you know, after 2016, we had questions about the way that facebook and, and, you know,

the company was known as facebook, back then microsoft, etc. we're sharing data with the u. s. government after the edward snowden leaks in 2013, this is just the hot new thing right now, and there is new questions that are rising. and there's also that sort of element of the fact that it is a for, and the company. i'm no longer can. we be sort of assured that, you know, it's an american company, therefore they will have the best interests because, you know, we can have, let's have a healthy dose and skeptical skepticism saying that, but like it, the, the argument might go, an american company might have a a interest in protecting, you know, american users, question mark on how time these companies may use american use or data or chinese companies may use indian user data is where another can talk man occurred. but here's the funny thing to kendrick, don't you find it curious for the past few years here in america, there's been this outcry in congressional hearings on social media platforms like

facebook, youtube, but for censoring and making sure traffic was limited on certain political post. now it seems those same politicians are the loudest advocates for the banning of tick tock here in the united states. why is this? yeah, i mean, i think that's an interesting question. um, i think that, you know, we have to sort of pierce through the political rhetoric over here and just realize that these bands, i mean, there might be some sort of they, there is that international. all meant to at a ship like, you know, we can all come together to be like, or do we want the chinese government to have our data that it's a, it's more of a unifying elements than that sort of the, of that the, the, the sort of partisan looks at facebook and youtube and those in those social media companies. but, you know, the question of why is that? i think it's a talk is

a easy target in some ways for that kind of bi partisan. you know, anger if you want to call it back or skepticism, may it may be a better word. know the social media giant meta lobbying efforts in washington, dc in 2022. they actually spent over $20000000.00 on lobbying, and in $23.00 so far, they're projecting at $459000000000.00 spent on lobbying the us congress. and this all the current open secrets. i mean, they are the 2nd largest group behind the big farm. and now what does this mean? yeah, i mean, i think that like, business is deeply cynical. so you align yourself where you can, and you let your competitors, there's be taken out. i don't think we should all be surprised by that. so on the question of lobbying, i think this is, this is a really important question that you've raised, the amount of money that tech is spending in our political systems for influence is

just going up and up and up. and that will raise really important questions for how we regulate technology companies. what's are there are american companies or chinese companies at the end? that doesn't matter because they're going to be consequences for the average user, no matter what they may be different styles of consequences. but there are going to be consequences, and that is something that every journalist, every watch, stop should be watching is where is that money going to and how are the politicians responding? let's talk about journalist integrity. are you a little bit concerned? considering more journalists are actually having to rely on social media platforms all to get their work out about honesty. and we're in reporting on the same platform. yeah, that's an interesting question. i mean, this is a sort of catch 22. that's been an issue for an industry for a while. um, but i think there is something to be said for, you know, there are, have been, you know, over the last 10 years news companies that are rose to cater for the social media

age. buzzfeed, devices like those companies are now sort of shuddering and going to the wayside. and you know, if you look at media strategies now i think we're very aware of what it means to have platforms come to us native we find this through search or find us through the app on use. as of the world. there will always be a tech intermediary of some sort because we all use tech in one way or another. but i don't think that that legitimately impacts the rigor of investigative journalism that you see targeting tech companies from out with like the mark that from, you know, outlets like ourselves. and i think that's the distribution question. that's a big question and that's the next essential question. but i think we're still doing our jobs and i would hope we still continue to do our jobs. recently the talk seo was brought in from congress and various influencers were actually made

available at the request of tech talk to talk about why they believe to talk was being targeted. as a repeated answer was, it was one of the only true a free speech platforms currently talk says it doesn't try to edit or point people at a certain direction as other platforms have been accused of doing in the past. so what is the best platform for free speech right now with the least amount of involvement by the company or the organization that owns that? well, 1st of all, none of these companies have total free speech and i've reported on tech tax content moderation operation before i can tell you that there are things that they will take down because they have to take down because advertisers would not want, you know, a free for all on their platforms. so i think that is a bit of a misnomer. i think that and that raises a really interesting question. somebody can say that and the truth of the matter is their content model. operation strategies are completely opaque to the general

public. we don't know that unless we're talking to their sort of rank and file and are investigating their working conditions to, and then gleaning information about how they're moderating content as well. so whether tick tock is a true free speech platform. i think that's a little bit a b s, but i don't think any of the major popcorn is there to free speech because that would be into this as to their business models. you know, i'm sure you heard, but they see up tick tock proposed as changes to his policies. these include none of the data actually going back to china. the ceo also stated they had hired american company, which happens to be one of the largest from donors to the republican party, to hold all of their data state side. will the amends offered by the tick tock, c, o 2, congress actually restore faith and trust in tick tock. the hey, i think it depends on who you ask about faith and for us. right? because if you're looking at tech talks, user base,

i think i do trust tech talk. they're so on at these congressional hearings on some level. and i do want to stress it. um, it feels like the concerns of the geriatric population in some way. right? i think that's the sort of digital native population that is using tech talk is very cognizant that the questions that you know, people are asking about tick tock are true for all of the social media platforms they engage with. and there's as sort of learned helplessness to, at, to a certain extent. now the question about the sensitive data with the chinese government and things, i don't know what the like, you know, american population at large thinks of that. i curious to see if your research pull on where, where they stand with it, but i think that because that idea, so nebulous right now. um it, you might as well replace chinese government with any government and it would have the same residence, you know, which is to say it is a fear may be,

but it is as in big us appear as any other government having access to your data. and consumers in america and even in the you are complaining about tape talk, having ties to china. yeah, most of the phones and used also were built in china. technology like the microscopes were built in china. is it peculiar? they have no objection to their phone being made in china, but an app and yeah, it really depends, right? like i think that's, i don't know if we have reporting to suggest that there are like major hardware concerns that like the box on factories are, you know, going a, if putting in various malware into their c p use or anything like that. um, you know, and i'd be curious let's, uh, let's see how the world plays out. i think that like the software concern is a little more legitimate because the way that you know, these apps can extract data in there,

kind of getting your consent to do it. it's just that, how do you use that data as a question? um, but yeah, i think i that to answer your question, i think the software concern is it has more concerning the hardware concern. oh, thank you so much to kendra palmer tech feature editor for business insider. well, there have been you for a 6 if you with the news you can use on scanning. now here's, thanks for watching the with the discovery of the new world, at the end of the 15 centers, there appeared atlantics slave dre. the slave traders from european countries

started building fords on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america to be forced into hard labor. until the middle of the 17th century, portugal head played the main role in the said process business. been great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership for this fan of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation, and proved obliteration of rebellion. this ruth was the tray practiced by the leading european countries took away tens of millions of african lives. the

organization of united nations class advised the trans atlantics, the laser aid as one of the greatest human rights abuses in the history of humanity . this is the biggest act of deep orientation of people ever seen by mankind. the, the do is precisely this outcome fratricide, that russia's enemies wanted both the new nazi's and key of their western patrons and all sorts of national traders. they read their hands, dreaming of taking revenge for their failures at the front, entering the so called counter offensive. but they miscalculated,

letting it boots and dismisses the west, attracts by taking blood sheds during the weekends, failed to wagner mutiny polosa offering the group sizes to go with a leader to fellow russo joined the russian army the russian defense minister released this voltage of ukrainians, surrendering his most coast forces wants to own offensive operation along the northern phone lines, the and also the solid induced finance minister cause outs, baraka bama over his criticism of minority issues in india, reminding the former us president this he owed it to the bombing of countries like syria and iraq, for his time in office. both the us to the general clean ki around 6 countries with predominantly muslim population, were formed for this very reason how anyone will listen to them or trust them when countries making political decisions such as these bring allegations against india . and they run dedicates an entire week to exposing us due i, let's see over human rights,

while also highlighting washington's actions in early years is not making resolution the is just on the mid day in most go on tuesday. my name is peter scotts, i'm wherever you joining us from. welcome to 30 minutes of news, and then that's the west and ukraine miscalculated if they expect to the blood shed in russia. well, that was the message from latina fruits. and in his 1st address to the nation after the peace agreement that's hold to be involved in a mutiny the weekend, the president also said the group soldiers off are given on free to join the russian army, or the leader who's doing better was that i gave those, yes, an armed rebellion would have been suppressed in any case. the organizers of the rebellion, despite the loss of adequacy, could not fail to understand this. it was precisely this outcome fratricide, that rushed his enemies, wanted both the neo nazis and kia and their western patrons,

and all sorts of national traders. they wanted russian soldiers to kill each other, to kill military personnel and civilians. so that in the end, russia would lose in our society, would be split, choked and bloody civil strife through the red, their hands dreaming of taking revenge for their failures at the front and during the so called counter offensive. but they miscalculated, i think those soldiers and commanders of the wagner group who made the only right decision they did not go to fratricidal blood, should they stopped at the last line. today you have the opportunity to continue serving russia by entering into a contract with administrative defense or other law enforcement agencies, or to return to your family and friends. whoever wants can go to bella luce, the promise i made, will be filled. i repeat, the choice is yours, but i am sure you realize the mistake you have made. but just the reminded now of what's happened on the sauce a day, a volume of forces to control over the russian southern combined sense in most of

on done after claiming that one of his own comes have been targeted by the regular army and were submitted to defense dismissed those obligations as this information . the volunteer group entity 3 russian regions almost continuing his advance towards moscow before some late calling a hold. so its mutiny. buffalo, the peace deal stopped between the russian developers and presence on the wagner had give guinea pig gordon and coordination with the russian presidents. the del sol forces turned around on some bucks that basis on pretty goshen agreed to leave russia developers. meanwhile, invalid was the army has been puts on for combat readiness. that's the message from the countries peasants, alexander lucas, franco, and his 1st page following the failed wagner mutiny, they had all the states. so the events in motion with key concern as both nations have one common homeland as well just hours of devona. and so the real stuff, beach and a number of obstacles, opinion the west and media speculating whether this signal to pretends demise from against us. senator lindsey graham even openly expressed his hope for the

president's down for all these nikki, are in the take a form agreed different months with united us across on top of us. and as a global policy institute senior research fellow george somebody. and they were hoping that the, they, that a civil war would break out, which would be to their advantage. but of course, the president boynton reacted in the very careful way. there was no bloodshed. and actually uh, this is this uh, this incident, leaves put in much more stronger than before, since he has the support of the russian people. and he has bought it took a blues. i said, now it's over. we've got over the west, it was a terrible crisis. because a, you know, the country held together society held together all the key institutions held together. and what not to use by any um, uh, oh,

opportunistic ideas about the extra constitutional change. what do you think is the, the destiny of the category pain in russia? now, i think that's the majority of woodside contracts with russian defense ministry to continues to work set as they have started, which is, which is the defense of, of, of, for russia in this war, in the, in the ukraine. is that just supported by the west? well, that's the interesting question. i would have thought that the, the wagner room, what remains of it will now be taken over by the, the russian government. i don't think rush is just going to give this up. i think it's much too useful for them. so i think that just going to bring the are the remnants of this, the wagon, a fighting group under the control of the russian defense ministry. i would think that is, this is too useful for russia just to dissolve 24 hours that show

russia was, it's a wakeup call or a buck omen was the presence of bella roost, the one who saved russia, and why did them use any sales head over to our website, to find out some of the answers to those questions. that's odyssey adults called the. meanwhile, russian forces have launched offensive operations on the northern front lines. you printing troops was set to be driven out of a local forest with up to 90 soldiers killed this voltage posted by the m o. d shows ukrainian tube surrendering as the russian forces forces approach come in. i, a trenches had been targets and without southern f, i have the full power troops moved in. so the findings are seen dropping the weapons on seizing goes down. it was on the front lines and the sense of this report with exclusive voltage. and this is the best in of the 21st century, an intricate maze, stretching for several kilometers, folks,

holes dugouts and firing nests, sprouting out of it all along the way, making the sold a tactical nightmare. but the russians have found a way to crack these defences. motors and how it says, have the say fast. the keep troops scrambled to see who survived the needs 1st aid. those inside the trenches now go together, which very soon proves to be a bad idea. ukraine's ranks begin to fall into disarray, which allows russian to sol, teams, to flank them and, and to the trench. when key of fights is realize how close the enemy is. many choose to flee. those who don't get home to down like this machine gun.

that's as tillery and the air force do not ukrainian reinforcements, any chance of arriving in time. but the didn't mean to get off the voice. the gross aviation carried out more than 40 sold each during which rocket and palm strikes, talk the strongholds, temporary deployment points, storage sites as well as concentrations of and to be man, pallets and find power. the movements of eunice with the support of an infantry fighting bacon of the crating on forces was revealed as a result of outset of rain as strikes. the nation has suffered significant loss, as among their rings bodies of keeps. soldiers summoned black bags, others in plain view on the ground, like around abandoned by the former brothers in arms and duel. this provides marry a glimpse into how terrifyingly bloody phasing is all across the ukrainian front line. i'm a goose done of reporting from the don't bass t. the or the russian defense ministry also says is false as have destroyed

a repair sense of an elite ukranian regiments and is the photos of agent where hardware is fixed and how much personnel cards and it's kind of helps us with also heads mean while even western media is reporting versus humping us f as to support gifts counter offensive. the 17 of the $113.00 bradley fighting vehicles supplied so far. a sets had been destroyed from the us marine corps intelligence officer scott richard leaves ukraine defensive face difficulties from the outset. i think when you look at things from a realistic military perspective, the ukranian counter offensive never had a chance from a military point of view. they had insufficient troops. they had in sufficient training and they lacked the of the weaponry to uh, to effectively suppress and defeat the russian defense is the only way that one could justify carrying out this this counter offensive. you made certain a, some.
