what we're doing and dance we use social media to tell people where we are going to be. the young people that post and also a full media tag us to web and talk about how we are talking about have to go out and decide they have to now saying that. and i mean. if i. didn't think it would. this is. the moment. that i used to make go out of. where we. don't. get the oil by me lol where are they going to. get to where. they had us the. last oh and. i mean more. than anything. i might need a community. when i lay there or. does that that i was that me and i'm one of the. more and they've got me knowing that. what i'm. most. knowing. what they're not only to toss them beloved and fabulous on a set of people don't. but i don't decide if it will articulate them in the. same ana. really funny but i'm. just. going to get. the question have a few have actually go oh yeah. that's what i was. so i don't have the ideas that you know it's either choose to believe about me it's not a good thing i'm someone who doesn't you don't buy a shit for the shit that a lot of you should devote to dr

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 we've seen that they can't we've seen they will not in my opinion we should at least let them keep their hands off it and let us let we the people be able to create either new companies split them up or be able to have platforms that we can at least have truth going out more of that more questions more prevention more things that really can be brought to the forefront so that we're not banned and we're not giving banning power in the hands of somebody the hope they'd be on the things that we like and not the things that we don't like and that's just what's going to happen we're always going to be putting our faith and trust in reliance on these companies on these guys in silicon valley on the government to divan certain consular jennifer spite how horrible and obscene that content is you're asking the people to be able to do this with these are the same people that showed one hundred million videos in twenty four hour winds. t

when you see that part right hate, as you describe it, on social media, are you asking the social medianse ability for social media giants in this. we have had the manifesto itself, the video being shared as well as a large amount of hate that has been spread across these social media giants. there is always going to bea media giants. there is always going to be a balance between freedom of expression of the individual but also the fact that when you start inciting violence like this ma nifesto for inciting violence like this manifesto for example does, that is able to be spread in such an easy way. there is a challenge that needs to be taken care of. good to talk to you, thank you for coming in. the attack was live—streamed on social media and police have called on the public not to share the "extremely distressing footage" online. social media platforms have said they are working hard to remove any clips or copies of the video but the home secretary sajid javid has called on them to do more to stop the promotion of violent extremism. our technology correspondent rory cellan jones repo

issues at play and they're trying to sort of retroactively push back against every single misused social media possible basis sort of the social political cultural factors that are really motivating these kind of practices in the first place so i think what really begin to think about is why are people spending so much time on facebook on twitter why are people sharing as much as they are are are a few biggies really decided in bogus of a who's business on twitter are purely meant to talk this much to each other and really think about you know how quickly culture has transformed and whether we've really caught up to what we're doing it right and until we again figure out and those actually what are much bigger questions while we do spend so much time on social media in this disaster and bring this back to you how do we regulated in a way that is you know over strikes misinformation that is often tending out to be dangerous having an impact on election day around the world while keeping the internet the sort of free and democratic and open to all ideas. i think what's what's happened is as year

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 facebook is facing public scrutiny not just over its handling of hate content but also how it treats personal data it's been eight years since the scandal broke over political consulting firm cambridge analytical it reportedly both personal data from facebook which then sold on the third parties and used it to leverage political advantage don't call to look so whether facebook's privacy policies have changed much since then. 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 e

regulations shouldn't social media platforms be forced to abide by the same sort of regulations right well it does seem like there has to be some better understanding of the role that social media platforms play in terrorist attacks like this and even in events that lead up to this so at the same time that social media is trying to increase its gauge mench trying to increase its business and as i understand on the same side that that increases its responsibility. on the other hand you have to understand that you don't want to simply leave it to the social media companies to self regulate it so that you're right that there does have to be some understanding. for example when you tube is perfectly capable of taking down copyrighted material it seems that there has to be some similar mechanisms in place that take the violent and hate related materials well yeah if they're going to get sued they're pretty quick to act on it that's that's what you're essentially saying that as far as copyrighted material is concerned if if if someone else's material is broadcast in someone else's video the

but i mean the social media social media rizieq extremely varied and i think many aspects of social media have actually risen to the challenge in terms of twitter. and aspects of facebook and instagram and so on there have been. there have been counter voices so i don't think we can blame the the social only the social media i think it's also has to do with the more general kind of environment of. amplification of extremist voices or voices that are anti immigration anti refugees a kind of validation and sanctioning of of celebrities and. people coming with those sorts of opinions. on those media so i think on not just on social media but on mainstream media as well so what's a little worrying here is that many. journalists who've actually been relatively supportive of. these kinds of right wing voices or anti immigration sentiments have i now kind of in retrospect deleting that tweet so going back to websites and deleting some of that content it's parts of actually creating a broader environment that makes. it that sanctioned. these kinds of views to some extent all right now bill we'll

expertsned with various and social media companies themselves, people with experience in media and people with experience and influence operations in the department of understand what are some of the approaches we can take to actually combat this it, weand to talk about broke the problem into several steps, a framework recall a disinformation chain. how does this work, where does it start, what is the target and how did they get there? to understand both what russia did and what we can do about it. i will note that this is not unique to russia. with some tweaks, it could be applied to any adversary who tried to influence any country. frameworkcally just a to talk about the problem and breakdown solutions so you can understand what aspects it is targeting. starting out with this , someone inchain leadership has to make a decision that they are going to perform and influence campaign and target this audience with this sort of message. in the example today, we are talking about russian leadership and then we have russian organs and proxies. we can break them up into two groups, one is attrib

social media has a more work.mily: david, you are working with technology companies on these issues, but when it comes to these human moderators and it has been documented how difficult this job is -- there is a new report out that some of these moderators can press snooze, despite the redemptive social good that tom talked about, should they be allowing live streaming at all? ambassador wallace: the internet is a force for good and a lot of ways, and it carries with it a lot of risks including in respect with live video. this is a nun challenge for companies and society as a whole. i think we are going to have to use technology here it's a fight technology and as new techniques emerge as opportunities emerge to misuse, we are going to have to come up with technical solutions. the volume, velocity, and veracity of digital information out there is very taxing on the human moderators. these are not easy problems to solve, but they are vital problems. we are going to meet technology, but we also cannot subordinate ou
