Last November, in an interview with Newslaundry, data scientist and former Facebook employee Sophie Zhang described the social media company's reluctance to act against fake accounts in India. Now, in this interview with Chitranshu Tewari, Sophie explains how she had offered to testify before India's parliamentary standing committee on information, and why she shared documentation on her work on India with local journalists and media houses.Sophie says Facebook chose not to take action on “inauthentic networks” linked to Vinod Sonkar, a BJP MP from Uttar Pradesh. “Facebook rules favour whoever is in power,” she says. “IT cells drown out the voice of the common man.”Sophie also describes the inherent “conflict” in the role played by Facebook's public policy teams.

Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen and other activists have urged the social networking giant to release a long-awaited report on its impact in India, alleging the company is purposely obscuring human rights concerns, The Guardian reports. Meanwhile, a US Senate panel backed a bill that proposes some curbs on Big Tech. And in startup news, blockchain venture Stader has raised more money, at a hefty valuation. Facebook urged to release the report on its impact in India Former Facebook employee Frances Haugen and other prominent whistleblowers have renewed calls for Facebook to release a long-awaited report on its impact in India, alleging the company is purposely obscuring human rights concerns, The Guardian reports. More than 20 organisations on Wednesday joined whistleblowers Frances Haugen and Sophie Zhang, as well as former Facebook vice-president Brian Boland, to demand the company, now called Meta, release its findings. Meta had commissioned law firm Foley Hoag in 2020 to carry out an independent review of its impact in India—the company's largest market at 340 million users—but its release has repeatedly been delayed, activists allege. US Senate panel votes in favour of bill curbing Big Tech A Senate panel approved antitrust legislation forbidding the largest tech platforms from favouring their own products and services over competitors', Wall Street Journal reports. The American Innovation and Choice Online Act moves next to the Senate floor. A second bill, which was held over, would bar big app stores, like Apple's, from forcing app providers to use their payment system, and prohibit them from punishing apps that offer different prices through another app store or payment system, Reuters reported. Stader Labs, blockchain and crypto startup, valued at $450 million Stader Labs, a blockchain crypto startup in Bangalore, has raised $12.5 million in a strategic private sale that values the company at up to $450 million, the company said in a press release. The sale was led by Three Arrow Capital with several other VC firms, including Accel, and angel investors joining in. Stader had previously raised $4 million from Pantera, Coinbase Ventures and others. Tom Cruise movie producers in a deal to put a studio in space Producers of a Tom Cruise film, set in space, are planning to launch the world's first movie studio connected to the International Space Station, Business Insider reports. Elena and Dmitry Lesnevsky, the movie producers, announced on Thursday that they've signed a deal to build a fully operational movie studio connected to the International Space Station. The studio, Space Entertainment Enterprise-1 (SEE-1), is slated to launch in December 2024 and will be the world's first functional entertainment and content studio in space, according to Business Insider. SEE-1 will be developed in partnership with Axiom Space, a Huston-based space infrastructure developer and the company behind the world's first commercial space station, Axiom Station. Once it's ready for launch, the studio will dock with Axiom Station, which is currently attached to the ISS. Theme music courtesy Free Music & Sounds https://soundcloud.com/freemusicandsounds

Fernando Rueda explica en 'La rosa de los vientos' cómo periodistas y analistas como de Assange y Snowden y sus actuales sucesores, Frances Haugen y Sophie Zhang, o Barton Gelliman, son perseguidos y juzgados "por contarnos la verdad que gobiernos y otros organismos no quieren que se conozca".

Sophie Zhang is a former data scientist at Facebook, now Meta, who published a series of articles in the Guardian on the social media platform's fake engagement accounts. She alleged these often lead to interference in political elections.In this interview with Chitranshu Tewari, Sophie describes the suspicious patterns of behaviour she observed in 2019 with respect to India. On the company's reluctance to act on matters involving fake accounts in India, she points at “political pressure and the general lack of motivation of the company to police its own system”.

För stunden stormar det kring sociala mediejätten Facebook. Anställda och tidigare anställda har slagit larm om att företaget i hög grad ignorerar kunskap om hur algoritmerna slår. Men ibland reagerar Facebook. Inför det svenska valet 2018 ingrep man för att minska genomslaget för högerextrema Alternativ för Sverige. Andra gånger görs ingenting. Hur kommer det sig att Facebooks medarbetare tröttnat? Och varför verkar Facebook ha tagit åt sig – den här gången? DN:s techredaktör Linus Larsson, som har pratat med visselblåsaren Sophie Zhang, reder ut varför det stormar kring Facebook just nu. Programledare: Sanna Torén Björling.

Truth, whether in men's work or politics or science, is crucial. Sophie Zhang was fired from Facebook in 2020, and her farewell memo was leaked to Buzzfeed, went viral on Reddit, and revealed (in her words) “multiple blatant attempts by foreign national governments to abuse our platform on vast scales to mislead their own citizenry, and caused international news on multiple occasions". This is just the tip of the iceberg. We dive into what happened, the consequences of doing nothing about it, inauthenticity versus misinformation, and a lot more.

In September of 2020, on her last day at Facebook, data scientist Sophie Zhang posted a 7,900-word memo to the company's internal site. In it, she described the anguish and guilt she had experienced over the last two and a half years. She'd spent much of that time almost single-handedly trying to rein in fake activity on the platform by nefarious world leaders in small countries. Sometimes she received help and attention from higher-ups; sometimes she got silence and inaction. “I joined Facebook from the start intending to change it from the inside,” she said, but “I was still very naive at the time.” We don't have a lot of information about how things operate inside the major tech platforms, and most former employees aren't free to speak about their experience. It's easy to fill that void with inferences about what might be motivating a company — greed, apathy, disorganization or ignorance, for example — but the truth is usually far messier and more nuanced. Sophie turned down a $64,000 severance package to avoid signing a non-disparagement agreement. In this episode of Your Undivided Attention, she explains to Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin how she ended up here, and offers ideas about what could be done at these companies to prevent similar kinds of harm in the future.

Last month, Sophie Zhang, a former data scientist at Facebook, went public as a whistleblower drawing attention to how the company delayed action against or outright ignored manipulation of it's platform by autocratic leaders and global governments to the detriment of the people of those countries. All work, including community management, requires trade-offs, areas of focus, and prioritization. Our teams and resources allow us to increase our areas of focus and more consistently foster the interactions that our communities exist for. But for an organization with the staff and resources of Facebook, you'd expect the trade-offs to be few and far between, and the areas of focus to be vast – covering the areas of the platform prone to abuse just as much as areas that foster healthy interactions. But for Facebook, Sophie describes how, at least internally, those lines between healthy interactions and “inauthentic interactions” surfaced potential conflicts of interest, slowness to take action, and a tendency to focus on some countries more than others. When we're prioritizing what to work on or how to foster our communities, we may reference company values or internal OKRs. But for community professionals, there's also the question of how does this preserve the safety of the community and those in it? How is Facebook scaling to protect the political safety of its members? Or perhaps a better question is, does it even think it has the responsibility to do so? As Sophie says, “it's important to remember that, at the end of the day, Facebook is a company. Its goal is to make money. It's not focused on saving the world or fixing the product. I think it's important to be cynically realistic about the matter.” Sophie and Patrick discuss: Manipulation so brazen that the government actors didn't even bother to hide it The real-world implications that “inauthentic behavior” on Facebook has had for Azerbaijan, Honduras, India, and other countries How Facebook differentiates and actions inauthentic profiles and pages Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it's only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Vanilla, a one-stop shop for online community. Big Quotes The unbelievable size of the Azerbaijan government's fake comment operation (13:33): “I'm going to give you a number that was very shocking. This Azerbaijan [Facebook manipulation] network, it comprised 3% of all comments by [Facebook Pages] on other pages through the entire world. … Azerbaijan is, of course, a tiny country. Somewhere at Facebook, I'm sure there was a team whose [goal] was to make page activity go up, and they were congratulating themselves on the comment numbers.” –@szhang_ds Repetitive content can be totally normal (16:41): “It can be suspicious if everyone is saying the same thing at the same time, but there can also be completely legitimate reasons. … For instance, … Facebook [once] blocked [people saying] ‘Happy Thanksgiving.' Because, ‘Oh my God, everyone's saying ‘Happy Thanksgiving,' there has to be something weird going on.' … At a company the size of Facebook, most enforcement is automated.” –@szhang_ds Facebook isn't altruistic in nature (20:15): “It's important to remember that, at the end of the day, Facebook is a company. Its goal is to make money. It's not focused on saving the world or fixing the product.” –@szhang_ds Facebook's actions are driven by outside pressure (21:04): “Most of Facebook's investigations on coordinated, inauthentic behavior come in response to outside reports. What I mean by that is NGOs doing investigations, news organizations giving reports, opposition groups complaining, etc. When there is an outside figure that's feeding this to Facebook, that's someone outside the company who can put pressure on Facebook, who can say, ‘If you're not going to do anything about this, we're going to the New York Times and tell them you don't care about our country. What do you think about that?' Then suddenly, Facebook will decide to get their act together.” –@szhang_ds How Facebook ignored a network of accounts tied a member of parliament (25:16): “In India, when I found a network of fake accounts that were supporting a political figure, we had gotten sign off to take it down, but suddenly, we realized the account was directly tied to and likely run by that political figure. This was a member of the Indian Parliament; he or someone close to him was happily running several dozen fake accounts to support himself. After that, suddenly everything stopped because I asked repeatedly for a decision, even if they said, ‘No.' … The result was always silence. … “When this keeps going on, when you're already in a conversation with them and you're talking about A and they ignore you when you bring up B, then it's very clear that something is going on. They still have plausible deniability that maybe everyone just didn't hear. I was very upset about this case. To me, it made no sense that the politician [being] tied to a network of fake accounts was reason to stop. It was more reason to take action. If he complained, what was he going to do? Complain to the press, ‘Hey, Facebook took down my fake accounts?'” –@szhang_ds Facebook's half-hearted efforts in Azerbaijan and Honduras (28:47): “In Honduras and Azerbaijan [after Facebook took action against manipulation], they came back immediately and did it again, and Facebook didn't stop them. It's still going down in Azerbaijan. The analogy I'm going to use is that, suppose the punishment for robbing a bank is that you have your bank robbery tools confiscated, and there's a press release, ‘This person robbed the bank, they shouldn't do it.' Someone robs a bank, because the tool was confiscated, they use the money to buy more bank robbery tools and rob the bank again. This seems like an absurd example, but it's what's going on at Facebook.” –@szhang_ds Autocratic leaders don't care about Facebook's press releases (29:20): “The idea of publicizing [abuse of Facebook through press releases] is to embarrass people. The president of Honduras sent soldiers into the streets to shoot civilian protesters in 2019, after the police went on strike and refused. Basically, his brother was sentenced to jail by American courts for helping his brother smuggle drugs and take bribes from El Chapo. This is a man who's incapable of embarrassment. In Azerbaijan, in 2013, they accidentally released election results the day before the actual election, true story, which was shocking. Compared to that, what's [a press release] going to do to them?” –@szhang_ds Facebook's statements skirt around the actual issue (37:16): “Suppose your spouse asks you, ‘Did you do the dishes last night?' You respond by saying, ‘I always prioritize doing the dishes. I work hard on doing the dishes every time so that we can have clean dishes. Food left on dishes is disgusting.' That might all be true but you did not actually answer the question, which is, ‘Did you do the dishes last night?' That's the typical response that Facebook gives, and if you look at the [Guardian] article, that's essentially what they're doing. Because they're not denying what I'm saying. They can't deny what I'm saying because they know I'm telling the truth.” –@szhang_ds Related Links Sponsor: Vanilla, a one-stop-shop for online community Sophie Zhang on Twitter How Facebook let fake engagement distort global politics: a whistleblower's account (via The Guardian) “I Have Blood on My Hands”: A Whistleblower Says Facebook Ignored Global Political Manipulation (via Buzzfeed) Facebook planned to remove fake accounts in India – until it realized a BJP politician was involved (via The Guardian) Sophie's Reddit AMA Transcript View transcript on our website Your Thoughts If you have any thoughts on this episode that you'd like to share, please leave me a comment, send me an email or a tweet.

Sophie Zhang is a data scientist and whistleblower who formerly worked at Facebook. From 2018 to 2020, while she was investigating "fake engagement" at Facebook, she uncovered abusive political manipulation and opposition harassment networks in 25 countries. Zhang reported that most of these subversive networks use Facebook's organization pages, configured with human names and photos to mimic human accounts in order to successfully escape Facebook's emerging efforts to counter fake users. She personally made decisions affecting countless world leaders and countries with no public oversight. British newspaper The Guardian is dedicating a series, The Facebook Loophole, based on Zhang's resources and accounts, to report on these Facebook-based political manipulations.

First up is Julia Carrie Wong, Senior technology reporter for the Guardian based in Silicon Valley. This week, she published a series of articles based on interviews and documents from Sophie Zhang, a Facebook whistleblower who came forward to reveal how the social media company has repeatedly allowed world leaders and politicians to use its platform to deceive the public or harass opponents. The second interview is with Maria Ressa. She is co-founder Rappler, the top digital only news site that leads the fight for press freedom in the Philippines. She has endured constant political harassment and arrests by the Duterte government, and still has to fight to stay free. Rappler's battle for truth and democracy is the subject of the 2020 Sundance Film Festival documentary, A Thousand Cuts. Maria has a 35 year career in journalism. For her work on disinformation, Maria was named Time Magazine's 2018 Person of the Year, was among its 100 Most Influential People of 2019, and has also been named one of the publication's Most Influential Women of the Century.

We're back! In this episode, we discuss women in Social Media, including some famous women from social media and internet history, a recent social media whistleblower, and facts and research about what happens to women online (it's not all bad, but it's mostly bad).  Women are more active on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, though they are less likely to be listened to and more likely to be harassed. Allegra shares some history about Radia Perlman, whose inventions helped make the internet possible, and Joan Ball, who was the first person to make computer-based dating successful. Misty discusses Facebook whistleblower Sophie Zhang, and what Facebook has been up to (it's almost entirely bad).  We're inspired by all three women. Plus, we talk about what we've been up to since March.  Want extra reading?

Former Facebook data scientist Sophie Zhang revealed activity across the world that, for her over two years with the company, Facebook gave her complete control and responsibility over, making her pick and choose which sabotaging political communications were to be blocked, and which allowed, causing her to conclude "I have blood on my hands." We look deep into the geopolitical power that the platform is neglecting to use wisely. Then, you've heard how birds and other animals migrate because of climate, but what about people? We look into how the current rise of ocean levels, persistence of horrific wildfires and battering by terrible storms will be shaping where people choose to live - if they CAN choose to. All this and more on TMI for Friday September 18th, 2020 - listen in for your Cure for the Common Media!
