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

o. mark zuckerberg lundy. so one of the biggest outages in the tech giant's history, it disrupted business and social interactions around the world, which calls facebook alone, tens of millions of dollars in los revenue. it's engineering team us posted at mia copa. blaming a technical error for the web, apocalypse journalist on commentator chadwick moore questions how such a vast company can be so vulnerable to a technical failure. facebook. oh is a one trillion dollar company and i always outages happen a lot. it happened in april in june of just this year. you actually google outages or any other big tech companies. apple. busy happening quite so frequently, so it's a bit bizarre that facebook has a problem with this. it seems to be that all of their, these properties oculus, instagram, whatsapp, and basement all run through some sort of similar server. facebook is now sort of saying they were making upgrades and, and, and program or gotten locked out or something. sounds fishy sound really strange. the fact

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

o. mark zuckerberg to push positive stories about the company on it's all news feed has backfired. mean actually, rob, he's been on this mina. this looks like a p r campaign going bad. exactly. richard. according to the new york times, project amplifier was signed off by soccer berg in august, and it's been child and 3 american cities. it pushes stories like this to the top of news feeds. facebook to latest innovations for 2021 on achieving quote, 100 percent renewable energy for its global operations. the news feed is central to the facebook experiences where users see what's being shared. it was never sold as a stand for facebook's own peered material and this is happening when out loud, like the wall street journal are doing stories on facebook that appear to be slightly more news feed worthy. yeah. last week, the journal published an investigation in which it showed that according to facebook's own, internal research problems have repeatedly been flagged up with how the site is used. for example, by human traffickers, or even disturbing data on how the platform affects the mental he

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. and i 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. i was gay for facebook and facebook this past week, frances helgrin, 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 her intervie

and mark zuckerberg is a whipping boy for virtually every one in washington right now. so long comes o media are sponsoring this group. this whistleblower who want to speak out about how toxic facebook has become. and he appears like the good cop, the good big tech guy who wants to work with the democrats and actually help sensor what goes on in social media, which is a key imperative of the democratic party right now. whistleblower aid doesn't exactly have a good reputation among whistleblowers to put it mildly the founder mark zaid literally read it out. his client geoffrey sterling, an actual whistleblower to his buddies at langley. but then had no issues representing the ukrainian whistleblower in trumps impeachment trial. and andrew, because for another key figure at the firm which, judging by its name as opposed to aid whistleblowers, literally called her ju innocence, to face the full wrath of the law. it was an honor to support frances hogan today, as she testified before the senate. i am privileged to work with a talented team of co counsels. thank you. out front sin n for hav

o. mark zuckerberg denied prioritizing money over the platforms, users we care deeply about issues like safety, well being and mental health. it's difficult to see covers that misrepresents 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. a spoke exploited teens. do you think that teens 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 facebook's 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 ethnic violence. well, it is a very different picture from a decade ago when platforms like facebook, twitter, there were being lauded by liberal commentators for fueling the pushed towards democracy in the

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

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

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
