c, e o. mark zuckerberg may have used his vast wealth to swing the 2020 presidential election and jo biden's favor. according to a study for the new york post, the researchers found that his donations to electoral organizations heavily favored left leaning districts in swing states that the democrats ended up pointing. the 2020 election was stolen, it was likely bought by one of the wealth, wealthiest and most powerful men pouring his money through legal loopholes. he funded to targeted private takeover of government election operations by nominally non partisan but the most of the ideological nonprofit organizations. now, we should stress that there is no suggestion of illegality in zocker, berg's donations. and the facebook boss himself says he only gave to non partisan organizations last month, priscilla and donated $300000000.00 to support election officials with the infrastructure they need to administer the vote. today we're committing an additional $100000000.00 to make sure that every jurisdiction that needs funding to help people vote safely can get it. the report has infuriated rep

c e o. mark zuckerberg has been dealing with a succession of damaging new stories. his company is leaking like a sieve to some big name news organizations. tonight, an explosive report on the wall street journal. the wall street journal revealed facebook was planning to launch an instagram kids zap, despite the company's own researchers concluding the platform already has an adverse effect on the mental health of teenage girls. the new york times then reported that facebook was planning to clutter its own news feed with positive stories about facebook to counter the growing criticism out there. but critics are a dime, a dozen, ex facebook data scientists turned whistleblowers are not ever conflicts of interest. between well is good for the public. and what was good for facebook and facebook this past week, francis hogan. the unnamed source behind the wall street journal story shed her anonymity. facebook on research says it is not just the instagram is dangerous for teenagers, they harm's teenagers. is that is distinctly worse and other forms of social media . in he

c. e o. mark zuckerberg might be facing a $1700000000.00 hit. as he has been made a defendant in a data protection lawsuit against his platform. but frances is not above suspicion with compromising links to the u. s. establishment. putting her in the spotlight as a potential government stooge as r t is dimitri poke reports. whistleblowers are generally seen by many to beep sort of brave heroes. they put their careers freedom, were even lives on the line to reveal the dirtiest secrets of corrupt organizations and governments. but when a whistleblower like francis hogan comes along and becomes an overnight mainstream media darling with an odd background and a full team of top tier lawyers with close ties to the establishment. that sort of raises some questions to say the least. i mean, come on. how many whistleblowers get these kinds of high production, promo reales? these look has the resources and potentially the motivation to run my life. this is my virtual badge. today i join facebook and i was your credit key for cynic misinformation, pm. i w

c e. o. mark zuckerberg denied prioritizing money over the platform to users. we care deeply about issues like safety, well being and mental health. it's difficult to see covers that miss represents our work and our motives. i don't know any tech company that sets out to build products that make people angry or depressed. the moral business and product incentives all point in the opposite direction. facebook exploited teams. do you think that teams are profitable for their company? i would assume so those dangerous algorithms that they admit are picking up dead that they stream sentence that vision their product. it is often destructive case books, products, harm, children, stoked to vision, and weak in our democracy. the damage to self interest and self worth of inflicted by facebook to day will haunt a generation. it is pulling families apart. and in places like ethiopia, it's literally fanning. i think violence. well, it's a very different picture from a decade ago when platforms like facebook and twitter were being lauded by liberal commentators for a few a

c, e o. mark zuckerberg says his research has been taken out of context in a post on facebook. he wrote that putting content only for profit was a logical because facebook makes money from ads. he said facebook's advertisers don't want their rides next to harmful content. and the tech companies don't set out to make people angry or depressed. that francis hawkins says site's owned by the company, han children, stoke divisions, and we can democracies chicago dances, followed her testimony on capitol hill. frances hogan presented a damning picture of facebook as a company knowingly disseminating false information that could inside anger and hatred among uses negatively impact, teenager mental health and even stroke ethnic violence. but goal she says to increase the time uses spend on facebook and instagram, actively engaging with posts and then potentially be exposed to more advertising, which they would click on. this is how facebook makes its money. i saw facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profits and our safety is, will consistently resolve these conflicts

c, e o. mark zuckerberg. a facebook's services are now back online after a global outage. and, and as a whistleblower edward snowden took the opportunity to imagine what life would be like without the social media giant. the internet joins go flying today and never return. what happens tomorrow? a golden age dawns or collapse, and we dine on rats. so edward snowden, yesterday tweed out whether or not this is if all the tech giant swing down at the same time, would it be a good thing or a bad thing for society in surprising enough you overwhelming majority said that it would be a great thing for society, if the, the big tank giant were taken down permanently, i kind of tend to agree i would like of the ability to organize. but i guess if we still have telegram, we do have the ability to organize. so, but it was interesting to see how many people viewed detect, jives going down as a positive dang versus a negative. twitter is picked up traffic significantly. some people were joking about saying, you know, if face to face down of twitter goes on next. and they'll be posting a

c, e o. mark zuckerberg who controls facebook's behavior. she albert nancy al jazeera capitol hill. jessica gonzalez is co seo at press prayers, pray press rather an organization advocating for justice in media and technology. she says helgren's testimony has highlighted just how urgently regulation on tech companies is needed. at the very beginning, we need much more transparency about the way facebook's operating and making decisions. so, and that's the baseline. we need to compel transparency from the company right now . they're refusing to answer the most basic questions about how they operate, how they make decisions, for instance, how, how they're investing across language is to make sure facebook is safe to use across languages. so that's, that's the baseline. i think getting to this data. privacy is another critically important way. a lot of us are handing over our personal demographic information with, with really not in the informed consent model. there is not a great awareness there. i think there was a real coalescing around the data privacy and a deeper understanding th

c, e o. mark zuckerberg. so quite an interesting day for the social media universe. and we shall have to see how things continue to play out. the controversy is certainly not going away yet. indeed, archie is caleb moping? thanks for that update. now it's been almost 2 months since the taliban returns of power. and i've got to start following the chaos us withdrawal and the challenges of piling up and economic crisis is now being compounded with the threat of mass starvation. many children, the brutal reality of life is all too clear to see. my name is my and 7 years old. i'm here to collect bread. sometimes people help us, sometimes they don't. i don't have a father. i take care of myself, there is no one else to feed us. there are 6 people in our family and i'm the eldest boy at home, so i have to support them. i can't work because one of my hands is paralyzed. adults told me that my hand will not work. i dream of continue my studies at school and becoming a doctor one day. people 10 down some times and they say there is no work, no money. so they can't give us bre
