real different from the country that i well let me pick up on that point because you had once specifically about st petersburg to rile a lot of people you describe the city as a place untouched by the myth of multiculturalism and deranged diversity and i'm sure you seen all those dozens of replies of people pointing out to you. most multicultural city in. the world that of course one hundred sixty nationalities are built by. the french and the buildings and the dutch name of what i mean we also have a very vibrant muslim community who petition this are for a small. yet. no i heard it all i see that i get what people are saying i get them but when you come to some petersburg as an outsider and i'm an outsider it's russian people if you speak to people in the street or with help but i speak to people in the street they identify as russian first you go to the u.k. you won't find any of that russian mean then after the. affiliation or it may mean a national affiliation so most of the different nationalities who will love to have in this city would also identify as russian i wonder if you given that you get so muc

you can make sure you talk to everybody in st. petersburg, florida or fort lauderdale and eliminate all jewish people from that if you want and imagine what you could get away with but we will never know because the that don't exist anymore, they were ephemeral, hit their target, got the response and are gone and there is no oversight. my friend said you need to write that book, talk about what facebook does to our democracy. i hadn't thought about doing that. i had been collecting research that some amazing scholars had been putting together, work on how facebook missed with politics around the world, how facebook is a source of tremendous dissension and hatred and other problems, how russia used facebook to mess with estonia of all places, very stable democracy. how russia had, in concert with their actual invasion of crimea, flooded ukraine with propaganda through facebook. i had all these data points i had been accumulating and putting them in electronic folders, privacy and surveillance on what they do with our data and thinking i could

backgrounds which they found makes a difference how people respond so you can make sure you talk to everybody in st. petersburg florida or fort lauderdale florida to eliminate all jewish people from that ad. and imagine what you can get away with. and they probably did but we will never know they hit their target they hit the response than they are gone with no oversight. my friend said you need to write that book and what it does to our democracy i have been collecting work and research the scholars were putting together on how facebook has messed with politics around the world and is a for some tremendous dissension and hatred in places like iser by jean and how to use facebook to mess with estonia of all places and how russia had in concert with her actual invasion of crimea to flood crimea with propaganda through facebook so all of these data points i had been accumulating and putting them in electronic folders there was a lot of material what it does with our data and then i was thinking i could string this together i sent it out because everybody came to that moment that facebook played a crucial role of

but in any event, at about that time, you met putin in st. petersburge was, in your words, an undistinguished bureaucrat. you wrote, at the time if you had asked me to list 5,000 russians that might be the next president of russia, he would not have made the list. >>> so, reflect on what your initial view of him was given that you spent a lot of time in the room with him as ambassador, why did he not make the list? did he ever measure up to making the list in your view? >> first to remind you and your viewers, i was there meeting with him in 1991 before the collapse of the soviet union because his boss, the mayor of saint pyatte st. petersburg wanted to collaborate with americans inside st. petersburg. in that period, people often forget people wanted to interact with americans because we thought we had a common purpose to build democracy. even after the collapse of the soviet union when i returned and worked for an american n.g.o. dedicate today building ests of the regime.welcomed we were not overthrowing the regime, we were trying to help them. boris

if you are working for the internet research agency in st. petersburg, russia and you want to distribute the same kind of ad that you did without any problem in 2016, what you're going to do is find a few people who live in the united states. there were plenty of people in the united states willing to mess with the united states. all it takes is a handful, maybe only 10. you could get those people to have the same affect that the directly purchase internet research agency had. so facebook is doing not been making a big deal. they are taking the problem seriously. there's no way to get around the fact that people get around the barrier. again because facebook is so big and it's so easy to get around this restriction. i don't believe the hype not much of a difference. the miller center here tried to run facebook but because it happens to cover politics, the atlas five been denied. i tried to buy a facebook ad for this event and it was five been denied because they are just been so careful. they don't want anything that might seem political. i don't know w
