Discriminate against women and people of color plus putin shown by the west completes his pivot to the east counting the cost on aljazeera. Digital media. Is the founder of online side. 40 years they can use it is whatever power doesnt like the president of the philippines abroad rico deter day says he wants to kill as many people involved with drugs doesnt possible analysts his critics as a public enemy. Grappler and online you cite and known to be critical of the government had its license revoked and he weeks ago the end goal is to silence dissent when people dont know what is real and what is fate when facts dont matter then the voice with the loudest megaphone gains more power and. Im facing 7 cases some of which can put him in jail up to 15 years. Now rock blues poll says a war of attrition is on the way when she and her colleagues are determined to we give up we know we know that arrest warrant has been issued obviously. It makes you feel bad but i think its quite right you know this is the time to fight this is the time to tell people here heres the mind and you have to make sure that our government doesnt cross it because when it does were no longer in the. I am a pretend millennial but im turning 5555 years old wow ive been a journalist for. More than 30 years. Alexa play best play list resuming spanish. When our president or a good detective was elected the Campaign Machinery that helped elect him was weaponized and went after anyone who was critical of the drug war and also journalists in particular were targeted. This is a war for troops and the biggest casualty in the world for is how many people have been killed in the drug war im at the front lines i feel it i know it i have the data to prove it heres what happened in the philippines when facebook became too toxic i watch alexa ranking every day which is a website ranking of of all the where can people of peano school and before. Its alexy. It doesnt really want to finish buying this information. And you have an. Ok new plan for the future of what we can become a few dont try it part of the problem with the old power right now is they dont understand new technology and part of the problem with the people who build the new technology is they dont understand old power thats what needs to merge. Facebook changed. And in the philippines it really is thing internet. The journalist will escape the 1st thats dead. In me and it comes down to the tech forums social media in particular will determine what gets delivered to people. In january 28th the government of the philippines tried to shut rappler down were being investigated and that were facing legal cases one on ownership that could land me in prison for anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The court of appeals came out with a decision after midnight that night our appeal to harassment it is to distract us it is to stop us from reporting its to intimidate us so we dont. So we dont challenge. I think that the biggest wake up call for the government was the day after they they tried to shut down rappler. There was a Global Reaction to it so i dont think they counted on that. They also didnt count that raptor would fight. Rappler was a dream. In 2011 a group of friends and i kind of thought that theres this new technology that is that we cant completely try out in Traditional Networks because everything that made traditional media successful would go against what we wanted to do. Was. Going to connect tweak something on the handles. But your post. Lets post that story thats the best statement glenn. Yeah we started with 12 people 4 or 5 of us were about 40 at that point. And and then we hired the smartest 20 somethings we could find. Is a good look at that with a mug yeah. I would assume how do i fit with that i think its largely unfixable and even try to fix it for the 40 years and thats why dont i start because youre here from the London School of economics i will introduce you to pomeranz and use that a lot of the groundbreaking work on looking at russia this information. Peter pomeranz of welcome to manila let me just figure out were being manipulated there descend from asian and misinformation campaigns by both state actors and private interests what do we do about it theres a much deeper question is that social media has kind of few a new type of. What i might term populism is much more emotional. And with an enemy very abstract one who is blocking your very private grievances the establishment the elite foreigners doesnt matter so you you actually wrote a lot about russian this information how would you define think about it from the point of view of a leader with author a tarion tendencies so back in the 20th century you could you could say shut off your population. With censorship you could just block off t. V. Channels you cant do that anymore so instead of trying to censor things you spread as much cynicism as possible you on the mind the idea of trust you say yeah maybe our media isnt perfect the b. B. C. C. N. N. Theyre all bored i want to undermine the idea that there is any kind of truth out there in all this kind of leftism ocean and so only the most emotional. And viscerally emotional the the whims it seem like in the short term only the tech giants have the ability to quickly fix certain things if we start uniting. The forces of good. Diversity we could be tomorrow it is truly no reason right now theyre not only is it started it started we need a little bit of maybe some resources to help with out so we start acting sort of strategically. Facebook has admitted that the philippines is patient 0 in the war against this information 2016 the Campaign Machinery of now president to tear down used facebook and social media to win an election but they didnt stop there he began to see these vicious attacks on facebook against anyone who questioned the killings in the drug war and in october i wrote this 3 part series on the propaganda war when we released it i was attacked the Propaganda Machine came after us with our gang in there it was immediate you know ive been called every animal you can think of my sexual life has been dissected and at the beginning i faced it like a traditional journalist where you try to fight it and you realize no you cant its not built that you can you dont fight this by looking at content you fight this by looking at networks and looking at algorithms thats when i realized something new is going on and we began gathering data. So we call it the shark tank but what it is is its truly being. Treated even the social networks that spread this information that have been used in attacks so we have more than 350000000 comments more than 50000000 accounts. So its a big data set is probably the largest outside of facebook. The key thing here is to go back to the way the new tactic campaign ran the social media campaigns is so organized that they have a content creator for the elite then theres a content creator a blogger for the middle class and then the blogger for the mass base is now the head of the social media for the president ial palace by looking at that database you can pull out keywords you can pull out attacks and you can get to exactly how the attack began and the velocity spread. Took the shark tank we connected it to a slack channel if something is friending beyond a certain frequency it will send us all an alert once we fact check it we can send it to facebook and facebook of the president. In august of 2016 i gave facebook the data that we had and i said you really have to look at this because you know you have u. S. Elections coming up and this is so alarming that trump could win. And we all laughed we laughed. And then one trump one in november they asked me for the dog. In the french elections that they helped pull down 30000 feet of comics. This database this big data is is the story of how the mockers. Became a dictatorship and thats really what we seem to have so we can still fight it and were using the data to back. Im going to do is a color is going to raise. Very little when you have these legal processes are being used against us that does have impact on the business because the minute an advertiser now signs a contract with rappler theres a risk involved for them so what we did is very quickly when we saw the trend and that that advertisers were scared we then came up with a whole slew of different products that we could offer so this country the Propaganda Machine led us to our new Business Model if you think about. Its a specific thing were selling your local it is what we did Building Community for what we did for rappler is what we were offering to do for them but it is data driven social media narrative strategy and distribution strategy. What can settle the good and how you know certain Political Parties use social media. And the messaging. Thats a lot of this is im just wondering if theres. So i can talk and carlo can also talk so for me because the cynical view is this is psychological manipulation to tell the. Story right marketing in general. Which is actually. There you go remember what was wrong. It was a psychological analysis it was the way they got their data breach the breach of the data through the senses its ok to. Influence your psychological outlook but its not ok to steal data that really we already know companies dont know how to use social media well except to put ads on facebook and theyre realizing that thats not a good. Thing is it you think mom and dad are we should its a anniversary yeah im on i was going to send you the photo from florida you gotta see talk to talk to mom and dad im going to show you the front of. The. Having dinner the kids are here nino see here. Billy brue see my guys love you love me much and a. Large thank you for this meal please put a hedge of protection around on the bass and those that we have. And those that we care for so that we. Can walk in here and buy. One is mine alone dont anyone touch you see the case. Yes yes the bills were going to actually get im sure he also. Im not going to get emotional so i stopped although you guys do you guys worry about teacher mary and. Dont worry about me. I worry about you. Also i think you just tell me what you think i need to know which is probably ok too. But the end goal of all of this is to actually take up space so the less space it takes up the better right as for me i fix it with a lot of prayer so what do you have to do after hearing what i really have no way maybe i could finish but. When the case came and they were threatening to shut us down we were like were not going a doc thats like an old way. Right yeah. Im connecting was connecting me. I believe the we are looking for new products that rappler can build right obviously were working on it but wed like to work with you because every person in this room has not just this played great talent at what they do but is also committed in a different way so thats our end goal this is what really gets me so i dont have kids really realize my my longest relationship was with truism guys and you will get i will send an email of all of the awards that youve got because theyve been incredible its been good to hear it even if its been a bad difficult. Start to the year ok. But i think the energy of the folks are one of the reasons we survived and we continue battling through the bush nothing it feels like when we act like a team nothing will get in our day we can barrel through it people are throwing their lives into it right people such as me its our its wrapped look at their face its. Like see they should be emotional. They believe. So i dont. Know but you know with. Any stock. Actually the easy part is the rational is really taking to the. You gotta look for a hole in collaboration its hope in solidarity. I came to paris to join this commission and its an inaugural meeting of about 20 people who are working on this information in different parts of the world president kron will meet with us and its something that is its really an initiative by the reporters are s. F. Porter sense for years. I think the Technology Platforms the social media platforms are forced to confront what theyve created that what theyve done now is allowed. Evil networks to take over and that has actually had an impact on democracies around the world. So. Its going to interest. Nice to see you get a question im going to have wife i think its ok i will i will set up as ill try to live stream for the event. If if if true 17 thank you. Just received. The details from just a little of them because you feel some vision on this for the new. It sure you were trying. To do. You know its horrible when that it will be contra lighting you know but it will cause you see the 2 marks needed to see if you just got one of them thats when youre young you need to. Go for. The 2nd story but if you do not speak to my nose most songs are put to the limit at our poll on how many choices. The business is infamous to leave on the part of the government they dont have civil. Thats perfect. So im honored to be the one who has a good share momentum in this coalition she received the only things arise she did that well and she is one of the chairs of this commission along with others that you just spoke to this is the. Wrong table about situations the world of the pressure. To work here has joined the list of. You know almost 97 percent of filipinos who are on the internet are on facebook for rappler social media is both a positive and a negative it is both good and evil depending on how its used but free speech is being used to stifle free speech hate is used to pound you into silence and for all of our countries how do you give free speech with out the excesses of people who want to manipulate this new technology that they live in the philippines is offering a capsule into the future but well see who the leader of. This is and on come our s. F. Share in a bad mood the Nobel Prize Winner and a moscow want to manage the world. Coles british subject is painful i could lots of that stuff its good stuff but what do you think the french understand of the facebook poll taken down the 30000 take up whats the math on me not the president. Or they dont really think that thats that i suspect that the 2nd order to me its an interesting question of whether it is or is shoulder to shoulder all of thats interesting to invest based on their actual behavior yes front of the field very very poorly studied and often you have said you have to come to our countries. How would you describe journalism in turkey today. Is risky and dangerous profession and. Imagine a country. Whose. Chance. Despite removes. Some heat from find solutions to this moment since this morning you are living under the influence that. We have an hour with president clinton i want to understand how one head of state whos holding the line what the way he looks at it and what he thinks is even possible to ask him what can be done what are other leaders in democracies talking. You think we. Will be live in london that in manila there i had been among the many many years ago and please if you ever come and love to show you the city how long have you been in exile says 2000. And your family has been the aggressor and thats. Why. I hope i dont have to go into exile. So you do the demos we need you to go i will say that those. I mean you. Look at just a click you think eating them up on sufficiently similar to look my normal expectation for a meeting we have a head of state is. There will be a problem but essentially it will be a performance for so political but it was a remarkable sons that you were actually on the situation with somebody you had to be. Good to influence political relations so well see what actually comes of it. It was an off the record discussion with him not chronos one of the leaders that was targeted by these bad actors on social media is he leader with liberal values that he stand for things that the geo political activist did not want who was behind those 30000 fake accounts thats interesting to me he probably knows he certainly did say anything about. The constitution of the silicones gives me certain rights to protect my ability to do my job all of that was stripped away by the social media platforms there is absolutely no accountability for the platforms to spread lies exponentially and should not allow it to spread thats what im looking for thats a good thing.
