A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. The u. S. Department of Homeland Security has authorized immigration officials to use fake social media accounts to monitor people seeking to reenter the country but it does fly in the face of efforts to purge Online Networks of false profiles thats all quarter explains. Fake social media accounts the latest weapon in Homeland Securitys arsenal the departments updated guidelines have officially made cyber disguises fair game for its agents the fraud detection and National Security directorate is updating this privacy Impact Assessment to provide notice that officers may use fictitious accounts or identities on social media. Platforms to protect National Security Public Safety or to combat immigration fraud Homeland Security claims these fake accounts could be used to clean up the process of Legal Immigration detecting fraud finding weak spots and immigrations vetting system and conducting background checks are all listed as areas that could be improved and although communicating with other users is forbidden theres still one problem with the idea fake accounts used for surveillance violate the use its terms of both facebook and twitter it is against their policies to use fake persona and to use twitter data for persistent surveillance of individuals who look forward to understanding u. S. C. I. S. Proposed practices to determine whether they are consistent with the terms of service and might be against Company Policy but this isnt even a 1st for u. S. Law enforcement earlier this year police stations the d. N. A. And ice work supposed all for using fake profiles Isis Facebook personas were even connected to a Fake University created to entrap Illegal Immigrants looking to study their as they were exposed to facebook moved to delete those accounts Law Enforcement authorities like everyone else are required to use their real names and facebook and we make this policy clear in our public facing Law Enforcement guidelines speech overrating fake accounts is not allowed and we swiftly act on any violating accounts. But an internet privacy watchdog says the social media giant isnt doing enough facebooks practice of taking down these individual accounts when they learn about them from the press or from a f f is insufficient to what we believe is a much larger iceberg beneath the surface we often only discover the existence of Law Enforcement fake profiles months if not years after an investigation has concluded facebook no they obviously they dont care about anything they only care about making more money and and blocking people who are doing good things i mean they abuse peoples private information its built into their system and they dont want to do anything about it until someone holds them to account so thankfully the guardian pointed this out and then they they blocked it but how many things did the guardian not see and there are just literally thousands and thousands of these things that are out there ward unaided in authentic behavior is what facebook terms fake profile activity and since the 2016 election the company has been on an all out crusade against it i think to city matters because people need to trust that the content they are seeing is valid and they need to trust the connections they make for identifying and challenging 8 to 10000000 suspicious accounts every week were also going to require people running large pages with large audiences the United States to go through an authorization process and confirm their identity over 2000000000 accounts were deleted in the 1st quarter of 29000 alone with fingers pointed at russia 1st and then iran and china later on and all the while congress has been spurring on the assault your Companies Announced a series of successful disruptions that resulted in the removal of pages groups and accounts my instinct is to applaud the diligence and of your security teams and credit you with taking the problem very seriously social media giants might find it easy to declare war on an authentic. Activity it thinks might be going on abroad but when they know that their own government is itself using underhanded tactics to advance its agenda who knows if the same standards will apply weve asked facebook and twitter for reaction so far we have not received an answer. Alternative for Germany Party or celebrating the anti immigration your skeptics came 2nd in state elections in brandenburg and saxony significantly increasing their influence in those parliaments. It becomes one of the partys biggest victories however its next steps are not clear the ruling christian democrats have already confirmed they will work with the f. T. The outcome will become clear later this year as peter all reports. What starts off in brandenburg it was a win for the social democrats in a campaign that they were neck in neck with a hefty throughout the alternative for germany picking up around 23 percent of the vote there with the social democrats winning on 25 percent in saxony we saw Massive Gains for alternative for germany it wasnt enough for them to win the state that went to the Christian Democratic Union anger merkels party 2728 percent for alternative for germany in saxony could end up rising as high as 30 big gains for them there and it is a sensational result we have achieved the best result in local elections ever and we can see that 30 years after the fall of the wall governments dont want to be left wing need the. Let me just see it is clear these 2 elections have had only one winner the. Weve seen from other politicians who have been looking at these results from alternative for germany and theyre not happy about the role theyve played in allowing a. F. D. To make such big games. I am happy that we have a really good result what worries me is a result in this means we continue to face big challenges in this country. We all hope for more and wished for more and im also disappointed like many others are disappointed no question i as the lead candidate also share responsibility for this result alternative journey were founded as the anti euro euro skeptic party back in 2013 but it was following the influx of refugees and migrants into germany and 2016 that they started to pick up a lot of points a lot of votes in the east of the country the big problem is going to come now is how they got to form some form of coalition in these 2 states because the major parties the established parties i guess you could call them now. Both states have said they will not work with alternatives to germany that means youre probably looking at at least a 3 Party Coalition in both states a well quite convoluted coalition a real broad church is going to have to be put in there because of the large chunk the large proportion of the votes that alternative for germany have picked up in both the states of brandenburg and sucks and here in germany. Well lets speak to someone from the f. D. A. And saxony now their deputy chairman no less maximillian cross you must be a pretty pleased when you put your success down to. I mean we are absolutely happy about what we reach because all media in germany and even most Civil Society organizations protect us before the election and although we had this campaign against so many people so many voters came to the ballot and voted for us who we havent sharply increasing participation on the election and those people who voted for the 1st time off 2 years they are mostly voted for you have to be so its a big success and we are now and a process of being happy about it we celebrate and we look forward to be a very strong and forceful a position to the established politicians what can it really be called a success though no ones actually going to join a coalition with you it still remains that youre nowhere near any actual power doesnt it. I think that you can be very powerful even running on a position and especially when you have a weak government against you and what we see in sex and the richest and most important east German Federal state then there we have a Christian Democrat Party that at least used to be quite conservative and we have greens that are lefty for greens so now they have to to build a coalition or do they dont fit together. At all so weve all have a weak government weve all seen the Party Members of both the greens and the christian democrats are very are happy with that so i dont you government will be very unstable and we are very strong and we are together and united and when you are a strong Opposition Force and you have had a unstable government then you can can reach a lot so i guess its a mistake that you have to be part of a government to change a country you can change it by good position by good media and by good arguments and all this to talk for us in the next years do you think that the after you can repeat its success its electoral success at the national level. I think we are now the ice breaker in east germany people in the governments kind of work against the interest of the people and media can lie in east and west germany people over to cades have learned that the governments record rectally and public media tals more or less to choose and now the people invest germany have to understand that times have changed to germany isnt the paradise back in the good old eightys or ninetys and the Eastern Countries to Eastern States there are a kind of an example they are the ice breakers to make it clear and i think that the success we have now in saxony can encourage many people in the western states to begin to think and to change their mind so i think it will be a push for a of the invest germany not to 28 percent of course a lot but i think that we can reach to try to present in the next general election and deadwood change germany to the better. Maximillian craw if the sox and his deputy chairman thank you for joining us on the program.
