New York Times reporter, Sheera Frenkel, joins Niki remotely to talk about the AI 2024 campaign season that wasn't. She shares insights from her reporting on tech, shedding light on the reluctance to use AI by US campaigns compared to other countries, the rush by foreign adversaries to capitalize on AI's capability to enhance disinformation campaigns, and lays out what has led Facebook to step back from political coverage. “While our candidates are not excited about using AI…There are nation-states all over the world who are super excited about the possibilities of AI and how it lets them reach Americans in unprecedented ways.” -Sheera FrenkelRead Sheera's articles in the New York TimesCheck out 2021's  “An Ugly Truth” by Cecilia Kang and Sheera FrenkelRead Kate Conger & Ryan Mac's new book “Character Limit” Learn More at www.techedup.com Follow us on Instagram Check out video on YouTube Follow Niki on LinkedIn

Esta semana les quería recomendar una película que a mí particularmente me gustó mucho, me pareció muy como de obra, una película chiquita en su extensión, dura apenas más de 80 minutos, pero muy movilizante, esas películas que te abren distintos temas, distintas capas de reflexión, de pensamiento. Estoy hablando de la película "Partió de mí un barco llevándome" dirigida por Cecilia Kang una directora argentina, perteneciente a la comunidad coreana en Argentina, o por lo menos lo aborda en sus películas Esta pelicula aborda un tema muy particular, o distintos temas, en un tópico muy fuerte, que tiene que ver con lo que fueron las mujeres de consuelo, llamadas así con eufemismo horrible, porque tenía que ver con el tema de la esclavitud sexual, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. ¿Quiénes fueron estas mujeres de consuelo, entre comillas? Durante la Guerra Mundial, más de 200.000 jóvenes asiáticas habían sido secuestradas y llevadas lejos de sus hogares para ser explotadas como esclavas sexuales por el ejército imperial japonés. Pero, ¿cómo lo va a abordar? No es que va a representar este tema en su película, sino que va a hablar de las mujeres argentinas, pertenecientes a la comunidad coreana. En Argentina fueron descendientes de coreanos, o que nacieron en Corea, o que sus padres vinieron acá para abordar este tema.

Ta-Nehisi Coates is an author and journalist. His next book is The Message. “I don't think we have the luxury as journalists of avoiding things because people might say bad things about us. I don't even think we have the luxury of avoiding things because we might get fired. I don't think we have the luxury of avoiding them because somebody might cancel some sort of public speech that we have. I then have to ask you, what are you in it for? Like, why did you come here? Did you come here just to make a living? Because there are many other things where you could make more money.” Show notes: ta-nehisicoates.com Coates on Longform Longform Podcast #7: Ta-Nehisi Coates Longform Podcast #97: Ta-Nehisi Coates Longform Podcast #168: Ta-Nehisi Coates Longform Podcast #225: Ta-Nehisi Coates Longform Podcast #360: Ta-Nehisi Coates and Chris Jackson Longform Podcast #408: Ta-Nehisi Coates 04:00 "Fear of a Black President" (The Atlantic • Sep 2012) 05:00 The Beautiful Struggle (One World • 2009) 12:00 "The Case for Reparations" (The Atlantic • Jun 2014) 13:00 Between the World and Me (One World • 2015) 36:00 "The Mask of Doom" (New Yorker • Sep 2009) 40:00 "How Tech Giants Cut Corners to Harvest Data for A.I." (Cade Metz, Cecilia Kang, Sheera Frenkel, Stuart A.

Stanford's Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments:Alex participated in the fifth Senate AI Insight Forum focused on AI and its impact on elections and democracy. It turns out politicians can be reasonable and bipartisan when the cameras are off. - Oma Seddiq/ Bloomberg Law, Gabby Miller/ Tech Policy Press, Cristiano Lima/ The Washington Post, Christopher Hutton/ Washington Examiner, Office of Majority Leader Chuck SchumerLabel Your AIMeta will require political advertisers to disclose if content has been digitally altered to make content potentially misleading. - Aisha Counts/ Bloomberg News, Katie Paul/ Reuters, Will Henshall/ Time, FacebookMeta will also let political ads on Facebook and Instagram question the legitimacy of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. - Salvador Rodriguez/ The Wall Street Journal Microsoft announced a free tool for politicians and campaigns to authenticate media with watermark credentials. - Margi Murphy/ Bloomberg News, Brad Smith/ MicrosoftYouTube will require creators to disclose realistic AI-generated content with new labels. Users can also request to remove manipulated video “that simulates an identifiable individual, including their face or voice.” - Olafimihan Oshin/ The Hill, Jennifer Flannery O'Connor, Emily Moxley/ YouTubeTikTok Tick TockThere's been a burst of new calls to ban TikTok over allegations that it is boosting anti-Israel and pro-Hamas content. - Alexander Bolton/ The Hill, Cecilia Kang, Sapna Maheshwari/ The New York TimesTikTok denies these allegations and faults inaccurate news reporting. - TikTokVerified transparency about this would be good, but there's no real evidence for the claim. There may be a conflation of “pro-Palestinian” and “pro-Hamas” content. Many people have pro-Palestinian views, especially TikTok's young userbase. It also turns out that other platforms have similarly prevalent content. - Drew Harwell/ The Washington PostThe renewed calls for TikTok to be banned because of content on it that lawmakers don't like gives the lie to the argument that calls for a ban are not about speech, which is... a First Amendment problem.Nepal, however, doesn't have a First Amendment so it banned TikTok citing disruption to “social harmony” including “family structures” and “social relations” - Niha Masih, Sangam Prasai/ The Washington PostA Trip to IndiaNothing massively new here, but worth highlighting this WaPo report: “For years, a committee of executives from U.S. technology companies and Indian officials convened every two weeks in a government office to negotiate what could — and could not — be said on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.” - Karishma Mehrotra, Joseph Menn/ The Washington Post Meanwhile, Apple has been notifying opposition politicians in India that they are “being targeted by state-sponsored attackers.” - Meryl Sebastian/ BBC NewsTransparency PleaseThe first batch of DSA transparency reports have been submitted and Tech Policy Press is tracking. - Gabby Miller/ Tech Policy PressThe unsurprising news is that X is devoting far fewer resources to content moderation than its peers. Shocker! - Foo Yun Chee, Supantha Mukherjee/ Reuters“X's 2,294 EU content moderators compared with 16,974 at Google's YouTube, 7,319 at Google Play and 6,125 at TikTok.”Legal CornerThe Supreme Court struggled with two cases about when public officials can block critics online. Much of the debate came down to whether there is a difference between personal and official social media accounts. - Josh Gerstein/ Politico Pro, John Kruzel, Andrew Chung/ Reuters, Ian Millhiser/ Vox, Ann E. Marimow/ The Washington PostOverall, the Court sounded sympathetic to the claim that they shouldn't be able to block people whenever they please, but much less clear on what the test should be.Sports CornerIs there a Big Game in California this weekend?

Stanford's Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments:President Joe Biden signed an Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence today. The sweeping EO includes standards setting for generative AI watermarking and red teaming. It will also set rules to mitigate privacy and bias risks before AI systems can be used by federal officials. - Maria Curi, Ashley Gold/ Axios, Mohar Chatterjee, Rebecca Kern/ Politico, Mohar Chatterjee/ Politico, John D. McKinnon, Sabrina Siddiqui, Dustin Volz/ The Wall Street Journal, Cat Zakrzewski, Cristiano Lima/ The Washington PostThe EO is a good step forward, but the measures are limited in power without congressional action.App store rules are restricting access to some Hamas-affiliated channels on Telegram where content moderation action is rare, allowing terrorist organizations to share messaging. The restrictions are inconsistent, with some channels only blocked on the Google Play store app in some cases. - Clare Duffy, Brian Fung/ CNN, Kevin Collier/ NBC News, Wes Davis/ The VergeIt's another reminder of the power of content moderation rules in the stack — at the infrastructure or distributor level, like app stores.X-Twitter CornerIt's been one year since Elon Musk flipped the bird (and struggled to carry a sink into Twitter's San Francisco headquarters). Our original episode on this, “Musk Flips the Bird,” held up pretty well — especially the prediction that this would be very good news for Mark Zuckerberg.Legal CornerIt's not all good news for Zuck though. The state attorneys general of 41 states and D.C. sued Meta, alleging Instagram and Facebook harm kids with addictive features and privacy violations. - Barbara Ortutay/ Associated Press, Lauren Feiner/ CNBC, Rebecca Kern/ Politico, Cecilia Kang, Natasha Singer/ The New York Times, Cristiano Lima, Naomi Nix/ The Washington Post, Daphne Keller/ @daphnehkThis is a relatively novel legal argument, and it appears to be an uphill battle to sue for design harms and not content. Still, the alleged privacy violations could hold up and the political posturing alone may prove to be a winner in the multi-pronged legal, policy, and regulatory battle.The king got involved and we can't ignore the UK Online Safety Bill Act anymore. The legislation received royal assent, becoming law last week. - Imran Rahman-Jones, Chris Vallance/ BBC News, Jon Porter/ The Verge, Peter Guest/ WiredAlex and Stanford Internet Observatory graduate researcher Sara Shah published a guide on trust and safety issues in the Fediverse with tips for running a Mastodon instance.Join the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos.Moderated Content is produced in partnership by Stanford Law School and the Cyber Policy Center.

Joe Biden wants to stop big companies - especially big tech companies - from buying or merging with other companies. FTC boss Lina Khan is supposed to be his enforcer, but… it's not going well. In fact, it's possible Khan's struggles have made it easier for big companies to bulk up, or at least more likely to try.

In a congressional hearing this week, OpenAI's chief executive, Sam Altman, appeared to be on the same page as lawmakers: It's time to regulate A.I. But like so many other proposals to regulate tech, will it actually happen? The Times's technology reporter Cecilia Kang helps us understand whether Congress will actually act, and what that could look like.Then, Casey talks with Twitter's former head of trust and safety, Yoel Roth, before and after Elon Musk took over the company.On today's episode:Cecilia Kang is a reporter at The New York Times covering technology and regulation.Yoel Roth is the former head of trust and safety at Twitter.Additional reading:Sam Altman urged Congress to pass legislation to regulate A.I., including the proposal that A.I. developers should be required to get licenses from the U.S. government to release their models.Casey Newton reported for This American Life on Roth's time at Twitter, before and after Musk took over. 

For years, fringe ideologues were able to use Facebook undisturbed to promote their extreme ideologies and conspiracies. In An Ugly Truth, New York Times tech reporters Cecilia Kang and Sheera Frenkel reveal how Facebook's algorithms sacrificed everything for user engagement and profit, while creating a misinformation epicenter and violating the privacy of its users.Through deep investigatory work, Kang and Frenkel came to a shocking conclusion: the missteps of the social media platform were not an anomaly but an inevitability—this is how Facebook was built to perform.Support the show

Stanford's Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments:India UpdateAt least some of the YouTube, Meta, and Internet Archive takedowns of clips from a BBC documentary that examines Prime Minister Narendra Modi's political rise were due to copyright claims made by BBC, rather than requests made by the Indian government. Maybe they could have mentioned that a bit earlier? - Rishi Iyengar/ Foreign Policy, Russell Brandom/ Rest of World, Internet ArchiveLuckily, Twitter owner Elon Musk chimed in with a tweet reply that he hadn't heard of the issue, adding “It is not possible for me to fix every aspect of Twitter worldwide overnight, while still running Tesla and SpaceX, among other things.” - @elonmuskTwitter reinstated Indian Hindu nationalist accounts previously suspended for hate speech against Muslims. - Newley Purnell/ The Wall Street JournalTwitter CornerA new Twitter Files thread on the German Marshall Fund's Hamilton 68 project, which tracked Russian influence operations on Twitter, illustrates the dashboard's flawed methodology. That doesn't change the fact that there was Russian interference during the 2020 U.S. presidential election. - @mtaibbiMusk made the rounds on Capitol Hill, meeting with House leadership to ensure that Twitter will be “fair to both parties.” We are sure there will be tons of transparency. - Tony Romm, Faiz Siddiqui, Cat Zakrzewski, Adela Suliman/ The Washington PostTwitter will allow anyone to appeal an account suspension, starting this Wednesday, February 1. - @TwitterSafetyAnd Twitter is re-suspending some of those accounts. White supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes was suspended less than 24 hours after his account was reinstated. - Julia Shapero/ The HillIn completely unrelated news, Twitter is being sued in Germany over failing to remove antisemitic hate speech. - Molly Killeen/ Euractiv, Aggi Cantrill, Karin Matussek/ Bloomberg NewsTikTok OffensiveTikTok is going on the offensive with public engagements explaining its private negotiations with the U.S. government. Executives are briefing members of Congress, academics, and think tank researchers about Project Texas, the company's plan to audit content recommendation systems and securely store and process U.S. user data in partnership with Oracle. - Cecilia Kang, Sapna Maheshwari, David McCabe/ The New York TimesResearchers briefed on TikTok's proposal to continue operating in the U.S. said that a new subsidiary, TikTok U.S. Data Security Inc. (USDS), will house all of its U.S. content moderation under the governance of an independent board that will report to the U.S. government (CFIUS) — not to ByteDance. Plans also call for TikTok's source code and content recommendation systems to be audited by Oracle and a third-party inspector. - David Ingram/ NBC News, Matt Perault, Samm Sacks/ Lawfare (commentary)Other storiesThe messy business of operating in China caught up with Apple again as the company's Safari web browser seems to have quietly adopted a Chinese government website block list. - Sam Biddle/ The InterceptGoogle plans to sunset a pilot program that stopped political campaign emails from winding up in the spam folder as it seeks to dismiss a lawsuit from the Republican National Committee claiming that Gmail filters have political bias. - Isaac Stanley-Becker/ The Washington Post, Ashley Gold/ AxiosThe Financial Times had a miserable experience attempting to run its own Mastodon instance, facing “compliance, security and reputational risks” in addition to cloud hosting costs and creepy factor issues, such as seeing direct messages by default. - Bryce Elder/ Financial TimesSports CornerDid Alex receive a call from the San Francisco 49ers football team during their NFL playoff game this weekend?

To ona pomogła z dość mizoginicznego serwisu do oceny studentek zrobić globalny fenomen biznesowo-technologiczny, dziś znany jako Meta. Jako jedna z najbardziej wpływowych menadżerek świata stała się znana także z tego, że głośno zwracała uwagę na rolę kobiet w miejscu pracy, ich prawo do robienia kariery, ale też że publicznie mówiła o prawie do przeżywania żałoby. Równocześnie jednak stała się symbolem stawiania biznesu nad dobro społeczne, gdy okazało się, że Facebook wiedział o tym, że Rosja wykorzystuje jego mechanizmy do wpływania na wybory w Stanach Zjednoczonych w 2016 roku.

This week, Meta Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg announced she will leave the company after 14 years in leadership. Sandberg joined Facebook, Meta’s parent, in the early years of the company, and she’s credited with helping to build it into the behemoth it is today by converting consumer data into ad revenue. So, what does her exit mean for Meta and its trajectory? Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams discussed that topic with Cecilia Kang, a tech policy reporter for The New York Times and co-author of the book “An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook’s Battle for Domination.”

Liz Benditt is the definition of a survivor.  Based in Kansas City, the mother of two discovered, about 10 years ago, that she had skin cancer. Just 11 months after that, Liz was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and then, in 2015 basal cell carcinoma - skin cancer was discovered on the bridge of Liz's nose, requiring two surgeries to repair. And unbelievably, two years later, Liz was diagnosed with breast cancer.To make use of an old adage - Liz took all of these lemons, and made lemonade.In October of 2020, she took her health experiences and launched the Balm Box, offering practical self-care and gift boxes, with the first line focused on people breast cancer - essential oils and diffusers, burn balms, creams, support pillows and throw blankets as well as augmented clothing, such as wireless bras.After all of her experiences, Liz has maintained a positive outlook, perhaps something gifted by her grandmother, a woman who survived the holocaust and was forever grateful for a second chance at life.Learn more about Liz and The Balm BoxThe Balm BoxThe Balm Box Blog and NewsThe Fast ThreeWhat is your favourite podcast or source of information?

(This conversation originally aired on September 13, 2021) Welcome to an archive edition of Midday. Nearly 70% of Americans have a Facebook account, and Facebook's unrelenting mission is to add even more people to its huge list of subscribers, and to keep all of us glued to those accounts for as long as possible, every day. Executing that mission has made Facebook insanely profitable. The company is also unquestionably problematic and unapologetically purposeful in its manipulation and marketing of our personal data, most of which we disclose quite freely. The Federal Trade Commission has updated its antitrust lawsuit against the tech giant, arguing that it should be broken up into smaller companies, separating, for example, Facebook from Instagram and What's App. Tom's guests are two award-winning reporters for The New York Times,  Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang. In a disquieting book published in June, they examine Facebook in the period between the 2016 and the 2020 elections. Forty-four percent of Americans say they got their information about political candidates from the behemoth social network. And a lot of the time, that information is spurious, generated by foreign states like Russia, and sometimes, the candidates themselves. The deleterious effect on basic democratic institutions is immeasurable, and as Kang and Frenkel document, Facebook's efforts to curb it are ineffective, and contrary to Facebook's business model. Facebook's reach into the global community is unmatched and its unchecked power presents a conundrum to those who would break it up or attempt to regulate it. The book is called An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination. In recent months, a whistleblower named Frances Haugen testified before Congress and released internal documents which show that the harmful effects of Instagram on young girls were known to the company, and other damning revelations. Today's show was recorded before that testimony, and before the company announced that it was creating a new umbrella company, called Meta. Cecilia Kangjoined us on Zoom. Sheera Frankel joined us on our digital line. Because our conversation was recorded earlier, we're not able to take calls and comments today. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De eerste Bright Podcast in ruim anderhalf jaar die weer volledig in onze podcaststudio is opgenomen. Dat vieren we met een heleboel onderwerpen, van Apple Watch Series 7 tot Netflix en van AR-brillen tot speed-pedelecs.Tips uit deze aflevering:App: Halide, de camera-app voor iOS, heeft in zijn nieuwste versie 2.5 de mogelijkheid gekregen om macro-foto's te nemen. Werkt natuurlijk het beste op een iPhone 13, maar op oudere iPhones werkt het verrassend goed. Net als Apple zelf gebruikt Halide de ultragroothoeklens, maar dan ingezoomd en met een focuspunt dat heel dicht bij de lens ligt. En dan kan je dus ineens bovenop je onderwerp gaan zitten en scherpe foto's maken.App: Matter wil de ultieme reader zijn voor nu. Voor alles wat je onder ‘lees later' schaart: artikelen, Twitter-threads, nieuwsbrieven en meer. Een soort Pocket meets Instapaper meets iA Writer (maar dan voor lezen). Gratis app, in eerste instantie alleen voor iPhone en iPad.Boek: Een Smerige Waarheid, een boek over Facebook, geschreven door journalisten Cecilia Kang en Sheera Frenkel. Het verscheen deze zomer, maar is nu dus weer mega actueel.Film: Slag om de Schelde, de oorlogsfilm al snel na bioscooprelease op Netflix komt, vanaf deze vrijdag namelijk. De film speelt zich af aan het einde van 1944. In het Zeeuwse Walcheren vechten de geallieerden tegen de Duitsers. In de film kruisen de paden van een jonge Nederlander die voor de Duitsers vecht, een Britse piloot en een Zeeuws meisje dat in het verzet zit.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, we have two interviews. First we hear from two researchers in Britain- Chico Carmargo and Felix Simon- who recently published a paper that takes a critical look at a term that has been often used in recent months to describe a stew of problems in the information ecosystem- the term “infodemic”. Then, our feature interview this week is with the authors of the bestselling book AN UGLY TRUTH: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination- New York Times reporters Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang. I got to speak with Sheera and Cecilia about the reception to the book, and whether the type of change it suggests is necessary at Facebook is possible under its current management and structure.
