His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Facebook\u003c/em>, in which users received no compensation, and \u003cem>Fraley v. Facebook\u003c/em>, in which users received $15 each. DeGette expressed surprise when Zuckerberg said he was not familiar with the details of the cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11661220/how-to-check-if-your-facebook-data-was-used-by-cambridge-analytica\">How to Check If Your Facebook Data Was Used by Cambridge Analytica\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>She also asked whether there was a financial penalty involved after a Federal Trade Commission investigation ended in a 2011 consent decree. Zuckerberg said he couldn't remember, which prompted more skepticism from DeGette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason you probably don't remember is because the FTC doesn't have the authority to issue penalties for first-time violations,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continue to have these abuses and these data breaches, but at the same time, it doesn't seem like future activities are prevented,\" DeGette said. \"I think one of the things that we need to look at in the future ... is putting really robust penalties in place in case of improper actions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On racial diversity within Facebook's staff and leadership\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional Black Caucus member Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., said that Facebook lists five leaders on its website, none of whom are black. \"This does not reflect America,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a broader leadership than just five people,\" Zuckerberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do you plan to add an African-American to your leadership team in the foreseeable future and will you commit that you will continue to work with us, the Congressional Black Caucus, to increase diversity within your company?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Congressman, we will certainly work with you,\" Zuckerberg said. \"This is an important issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butterfield asked for data on the retention of employees by race; Zuckerberg said he would discuss it with his team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., also pushed Zuckerberg hard on the question of diversity, tying the \"monolithic\" makeup of the company to Facebook's failures to anticipate and prevent disinformation campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is Facebook doing enough to stop opioid sales?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., brought up America's opioid crisis and posted a photo of drugs available for sale on Facebook, no prescription necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your platform is still being used to circumvent the law and allow people to buy highly addictive drugs without a prescription,\" he said. \"Facebook is actually enabling an illegal activity and in so doing, you are hurting people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg replied that \"there are a number of areas of content that we need to do a better job policing on our service.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've said before you were going to take down those ads but you didn't do it,\" McKinley said. \"When are you going to take them down? ... Where is your accountability to allow this to be occurring?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg said Facebook relies on users flagging inappropriate content to be taken down. He said with billions of pieces of content shared daily, it was not feasible for the company to examine all those posts. But he said the company hopes to use artificial intelligence tools to help flag inappropriate content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Facebook's collection of data on non-Facebook users \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg's congressional testimony has focused on how Facebook handles user data. But Rep. Ben Luján, D-N.M., pushed Zuckerberg on how exactly Facebook uses the data of people who are \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/blog/privacy-technology/internet-privacy/facebook-tracking-me-even-though-im-not-facebook\">not users of the service.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their conversation went like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Luján: \"Facebook has detailed profiles on people who have never signed up for Facebook, yes or no?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"In general, we collect data from people who have not signed up from Facebook for security purposes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"... On average, how many data points does Facebook have on each Facebook user?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"I do not know off the top of my head.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"The average for non-Facebook platforms is 1,500. It's been reported that Facebook has as many as 29,000 data points for an average Facebook user. Do you know how many points of data Facebook has on the average non-Facebook user?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"Congressman, I do not off the top off my head, but I can have our team get back to you afterwards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"I'd appreciate that. It's been admitted by Facebook that you do collect data points on non-Facebook users, so my question is, can someone who does not have a Facebook account opt out of Facebook's involuntary data collection?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"Congressman, anyone can turn off and opt out of any data collection for ads, whether they use our services or not, but in order to prevent people from scraping public information ... we need to know when someone is trying to repeatedly access our services ... \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"You've said everyone controls their data but you are collecting data on people who are not even Facebook users, that have never signed a consent, a privacy agreement, and you're collecting their data. And it may surprise you that on Facebook's page, when you go to '\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/help/103846099705922?helpref=search&sr=1&query=I+don%27t+have+a+facebook+account\">I don't have a Facebook account and would like to request all my personal data stored by Facebook\u003c/a>,' it takes you to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/180237885820953\">form\u003c/a> that says, 'Go to your Facebook page and then on your account settings you can download your data.' ... You're directing people who don't even have a Facebook page to have to sign up for a page to reach their data.

He says people own that data and can delete it at any time. He also stresses that Facebook, while it uses that data to power its ad business, does not sell the data itself to advertisers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., pressed Zuckerberg on something different — the \"metadata\" about users that Facebook gathers without users uploading it themselves. That includes things like when and how users access Facebook, and what they click on or look at, including on sites other than Facebook. (\u003cem>The Wall Street Journal\u003c/em> recently published a \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/graphics/how-pizza-night-can-cost-more-in-data-than-dollars/\">visual breakdown\u003c/a> of data provided vs. data collected by various platforms.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's an awful lot of information that is generated that people don't think that they're generating, and that advertisers are being able to target because Facebook collects it,\" Kennedy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes,\" Zuckerberg said. \"My understanding is that the targeting options that are available for advertisers are generally things that are based on what people share. Now, once an advertiser chooses how they want to target something, Facebook also does its own work to rank and determine which ads are going to be interesting to which people. So we may use metadata or other behaviors of what you've shown that you're interested in in news feeds or other places in order to make our systems more relevant to you, but that's a little bit different from giving that as an option to an advertiser.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't understand how users then own that data,\" Kennedy said. He then ran out of time for questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On its \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/business/help/182371508761821?helpref=search&sr=2&query=ad%20interests\">business help pages\u003c/a>, Facebook tells advertisers it can target ads based on, among other things, users' purchase behaviors and \"activities people engage in on and off Facebook.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of Congress also asked pointed questions about how Facebook will defend civil rights — by preventing \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-fair-housing-lawsuit-ad-discrimination\">housing discrimination\u003c/a> in advertising, for instance — whether the platform suppresses conservative speech or might in the future, and the degree of responsibility Facebook has over content on its platform, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/11/601323233/6-facts-we-know-about-fake-news-in-the-2016-election\">disinformation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the hearing before the Senate covered many of the same topics as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR's Peter Overby \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/09/600233409/lobbyists-campaign-cash-and-think-tanks-how-silicon-valley-tackled-politics\">reported earlier this week\u003c/a>, Facebook — like Silicon Valley in general — has grown more involved in Washington politics over the years:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Facebook opened its D.C. office when it was five years old — and already worth billions. It routinely hires lots of top-tier, veteran lobbyists, as does Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The current lobbying environment is ideal. Many lawmakers still don't fully grasp the technology. Congress long ago defunded its in-house technology office, which could have taught them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Facebook reported its 2017 lobbying cost at nearly $12 million.

Michael Burgess, R-Texas, approached the same question from a different angle. \"Can the average layperson look at the terms and conditions and make the evaluation: Is this strong enough protection for me to enter into this arrangement?\" he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg said, \"I think if someone wanted to know that they could, but a lot of people probably just accept terms of service without taking the time to read through it. I view our responsibility not as just legally complying with laying it out, getting that consent, but actually trying to make sure that people understand what's happening throughout the product.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He repeatedly said he believes users do understand how their data will be used. Multiple lawmakers expressed skepticism on that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The question of financial penalties\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an occasionally tense exchange, Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., challenged Zuckerberg over his company's billions of dollars in profit and what she described as the lack of financial penalty over prior privacy breaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She cited two settled class-action lawsuits — \u003cem>Lane v. Facebook\u003c/em>, in which users received no compensation, and \u003cem>Fraley v. Facebook\u003c/em>, in which users received $15 each. DeGette expressed surprise when Zuckerberg said he was not familiar with the details of the cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11661220/how-to-check-if-your-facebook-data-was-used-by-cambridge-analytica\">How to Check If Your Facebook Data Was Used by Cambridge Analytica\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>She also asked whether there was a financial penalty involved after a Federal Trade Commission investigation ended in a 2011 consent decree. Zuckerberg said he couldn't remember, which prompted more skepticism from DeGette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason you probably don't remember is because the FTC doesn't have the authority to issue penalties for first-time violations,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continue to have these abuses and these data breaches, but at the same time, it doesn't seem like future activities are prevented,\" DeGette said. \"I think one of the things that we need to look at in the future ... is putting really robust penalties in place in case of improper actions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On racial diversity within Facebook's staff and leadership\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional Black Caucus member Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., said that Facebook lists five leaders on its website, none of whom are black. \"This does not reflect America,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a broader leadership than just five people,\" Zuckerberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do you plan to add an African-American to your leadership team in the foreseeable future and will you commit that you will continue to work with us, the Congressional Black Caucus, to increase diversity within your company?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Congressman, we will certainly work with you,\" Zuckerberg said. \"This is an important issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butterfield asked for data on the retention of employees by race; Zuckerberg said he would discuss it with his team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., also pushed Zuckerberg hard on the question of diversity, tying the \"monolithic\" makeup of the company to Facebook's failures to anticipate and prevent disinformation campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is Facebook doing enough to stop opioid sales?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., brought up America's opioid crisis and posted a photo of drugs available for sale on Facebook, no prescription necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your platform is still being used to circumvent the law and allow people to buy highly addictive drugs without a prescription,\" he said. \"Facebook is actually enabling an illegal activity and in so doing, you are hurting people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg replied that \"there are a number of areas of content that we need to do a better job policing on our service.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've said before you were going to take down those ads but you didn't do it,\" McKinley said. \"When are you going to take them down? ... Where is your accountability to allow this to be occurring?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg said Facebook relies on users flagging inappropriate content to be taken down. He said with billions of pieces of content shared daily, it was not feasible for the company to examine all those posts. But he said the company hopes to use artificial intelligence tools to help flag inappropriate content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Facebook's collection of data on non-Facebook users \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg's congressional testimony has focused on how Facebook handles user data. But Rep. Ben Luján, D-N.M., pushed Zuckerberg on how exactly Facebook uses the data of people who are \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/blog/privacy-technology/internet-privacy/facebook-tracking-me-even-though-im-not-facebook\">not users of the service.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their conversation went like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Luján: \"Facebook has detailed profiles on people who have never signed up for Facebook, yes or no?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"In general, we collect data from people who have not signed up from Facebook for security purposes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"... On average, how many data points does Facebook have on each Facebook user?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"I do not know off the top of my head.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"The average for non-Facebook platforms is 1,500. It's been reported that Facebook has as many as 29,000 data points for an average Facebook user. Do you know how many points of data Facebook has on the average non-Facebook user?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"Congressman, I do not off the top off my head, but I can have our team get back to you afterwards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"I'd appreciate that. It's been admitted by Facebook that you do collect data points on non-Facebook users, so my question is, can someone who does not have a Facebook account opt out of Facebook's involuntary data collection?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg: \"Congressman, anyone can turn off and opt out of any data collection for ads, whether they use our services or not, but in order to prevent people from scraping public information ... we need to know when someone is trying to repeatedly access our services ... \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luján: \"You've said everyone controls their data but you are collecting data on people who are not even Facebook users, that have never signed a consent, a privacy agreement, and you're collecting their data. And it may surprise you that on Facebook's page, when you go to '\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/help/103846099705922?helpref=search&sr=1&query=I+don%27t+have+a+facebook+account\">I don't have a Facebook account and would like to request all my personal data stored by Facebook\u003c/a>,' it takes you to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/180237885820953\">form\u003c/a> that says, 'Go to your Facebook page and then on your account settings you can download your data.' ... You're directing people who don't even have a Facebook page to have to sign up for a page to reach their data. We've got to fix that.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does Facebook use information it collects\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>, \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>as opposed to what users provide?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his testimony, Zuckerberg has consistently emphasized the information people voluntarily supply to Facebook — photos they upload, status updates they write, pages they click \"like\" on. He says people own that data and can delete it at any time. He also stresses that Facebook, while it uses that data to power its ad business, does not sell the data itself to advertisers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., pressed Zuckerberg on something different — the \"metadata\" about users that Facebook gathers without users uploading it themselves. That includes things like when and how users access Facebook, and what they click on or look at, including on sites other than Facebook. (\u003cem>The Wall Street Journal\u003c/em> recently published a \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/graphics/how-pizza-night-can-cost-more-in-data-than-dollars/\">visual breakdown\u003c/a> of data provided vs. data collected by various platforms.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's an awful lot of information that is generated that people don't think that they're generating, and that advertisers are being able to target because Facebook collects it,\" Kennedy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes,\" Zuckerberg said. \"My understanding is that the targeting options that are available for advertisers are generally things that are based on what people share. Now, once an advertiser chooses how they want to target something, Facebook also does its own work to rank and determine which ads are going to be interesting to which people. So we may use metadata or other behaviors of what you've shown that you're interested in in news feeds or other places in order to make our systems more relevant to you, but that's a little bit different from giving that as an option to an advertiser.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't understand how users then own that data,\" Kennedy said. He then ran out of time for questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On its \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/business/help/182371508761821?helpref=search&sr=2&query=ad%20interests\">business help pages\u003c/a>, Facebook tells advertisers it can target ads based on, among other things, users' purchase behaviors and \"activities people engage in on and off Facebook.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of Congress also asked pointed questions about how Facebook will defend civil rights — by preventing \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-fair-housing-lawsuit-ad-discrimination\">housing discrimination\u003c/a> in advertising, for instance — whether the platform suppresses conservative speech or might in the future, and the degree of responsibility Facebook has over content on its platform, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/11/601323233/6-facts-we-know-about-fake-news-in-the-2016-election\">disinformation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the hearing before the Senate covered many of the same topics as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said that Facebook's app review team would have been responsible for that agreement and that nobody from that team has been fired over this scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg agreed that \"victims\" was an appropriate word for the millions of users whose data was shared. \"They did not want their information to be sold to Cambridge Analytica by a developer, and that happened, and it happened on our watch,\" he said. \"Even though we didn't do it, I think we do have a responsibility to be able to prevent it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he denied that the data sharing violated Facebook's\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/11/29/142898301/facebook-settles-with-ftc-on-charges-it-deceived-users-on-privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 2011 consent decree\u003c/a> with the FTC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the terms of that decree, Facebook is required to \"obtain users' affirmative consent\" before sharing their data. Most of the people affected by the Cambridge Analytica scandal did not opt in to Kogan's app, which collected that data; their data was scraped after a friend\u003cem> \u003c/em>opted in. But Zuckerberg argued that the decree was not violated because the \"Facebook Platform,\" which was set up to allow third-party developers to use Facebook data, allowed that practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believe that we rolled out this developer platform and that we explained to people how it worked and that they did consent to it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TonyaMosley/status/983786256269111296\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg is also being grilled on a wide range of other topics. Lawmakers are keenly interested in how Facebook handled — or mishandled — Russian election interference during the 2016 campaigns, how the platform plans to monitor and disclose who is responsible for ads, and how Facebook plans to prevent hate speech or discriminatory ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Topics Zuckerberg has addressed so far include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Informing users about how their data is used:\u003c/strong> \"Long privacy policies are very confusing,\" Zuckerberg said. \"If you make it long and spell out all the detail, then you're probably going to reduce the percent of people who read it.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Why this apology is different from \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/story/why-zuckerberg-15-year-apology-tour-hasnt-fixed-facebook/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>previous apologies from Facebook\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>: \u003c/strong>\"Overall I would say that we're going through a broader philosophical shift in how we approach our responsibility as a company,\" he said. \"We need to take a more proactive role and a broader view of our responsibilities. It's not enough to just build tools. We need to make sure they're used for good. That means we need to now take a more active view in policing the ecosystem.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Policing harmful language:\u003c/strong> Zuckerberg noted that Facebook has had success using artificial intelligence tools to police and enforce communication by blocking terrorist propaganda, but he said it's more difficult to identify hate speech. \"Determining if something is hate speech is very linguistically nuanced,\" he said, and the error rate is high. But he said repeatedly that better AI tools are being developed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Election security:\u003c/strong> \"There are people in Russia whose job it is to try to exploit our systems and other internet systems,\" he said. \"So this is an arms race. They're going to keep getting better at this, and we need to invest in keeping on getting better at this, too.\" He repeated the point again hours later. \"As long as there are people sitting in Russia whose job it is to try to interfere with elections around the world, this is going to be an ongoing conflict,\" he said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Working with Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller on the Russia investigation:\u003c/strong> \"I want to be careful here because that, our work with the special counsel, is confidential and I want to make sure that in an open session I'm not revealing something that's confidential,\" he said. \" ... I am not aware of a subpoena, I believe there may be [a subpoena], but I know we are working with them.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Whether Facebook is a monopoly: \u003c/strong>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., pushed Zuckerberg on whether the platform has any true competition, asking whether there is \"an alternative to Facebook in the private sector.\" Zuckerberg maintained that Facebook offers a variety of services and has competition within different \"categories,\" to which Graham asked, \"You don't think you have a monopoly?\" \"It certainly doesn't feel like that to me,\" Zuckerberg said, to chuckles from the audience.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>On whether Facebook is a \"neutral public forum\":\u003c/strong> Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, pushed Zuckerberg on this. \"The predicate for Section 230 immunity is that you are a neutral public forum,\" he said. \"Do you consider yourself a neutral public forum or are you engaged in political speech?\" (\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2018/03/21/591622450/section-230-a-key-legal-shield-for-facebook-google-is-about-to-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Under Section 230\u003c/a>, online platforms can't be sued for something posted by a user.) Cruz cited allegations of censorship and suppression of conservative speech on the platform. In response, Zuckerberg said, \"We consider ourselves to be a platform for all ideas ... Our goal is certainly not to engage in political speech.\" But, he said, there are \"a number of things that we would all agree are clearly bad,\" which should be removed from the platform.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Transparency in political ads: \u003c/strong>Facebook recently began requiring \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/02/20/587070994/facebook-is-counting-on-postcards-to-prevent-future-election-interference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">location verification\u003c/a> for groups purchasing political or \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-privacy/facebook-backs-political-ad-bill-sets-limits-on-issue-ads-idUSKCN1HD2JH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issue ads\u003c/a> on Facebook. Sen Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., asked whether shell corporations could be used to get around that system. \"If they were running through a corporation domiciled in Delaware, you wouldn't know that they were actually a Russian owner,\" Whitehouse said. \"Senator, that's — that's correct,\" Zuckerberg said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Who's responsible for identifying violations: \u003c/strong>Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., asked why Facebook puts the burden on users to flag content that needs to be taken down. Zuckerberg cited the \"sheer volume\" of material on Facebook and said new hires and AI tools will help improve the process over time. \"We can't wait five years for Facebook to get rid of \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-fair-housing-lawsuit-ad-discrimination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">housing discrimination content\u003c/a>,\" Coons said, referring to allegations that the site lets housing and rental companies restrict who can see their ads, by excluding, for example, certain races.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg said he didn't know the answer to several questions or that he'd have to check with his team, including whether Facebook employees worked directly with Cambridge Analytica and whether Facebook tracks users' activity across devices while they are offline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook has lost about $100 billion in value since February. As Zuckerberg testified on Tuesday, Facebook stock was up about 4 percent for the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Zuckerberg's \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4435458-Zuckerberg-Opening-Statement-Senate-Testimony\">prepared testimony\u003c/a> — a longer version of his opening comments — he embraced a wider responsibility for user content than Facebook has claimed in the past. He also laid out efforts that he said will help protect users' information and defend against \"bad actors\" on the platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TonyaMosley/status/983784948753580032\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regulation came up repeatedly in this hearing. Some lawmakers are pushing to establish rules for how internet companies handle ads or user data. And Facebook has signaled that it might be open to some regulation, although the company also argues it is not waiting for laws to be passed to change its own behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, of course, lawmakers are divided on the question of regulation. Some senators from both sides of the aisle warned that Congress would step in if Facebook can't improve security. But Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Roger Wicker, R-Miss., cautioned against overregulation in response to the scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TonyaMosley/status/983779642577371136\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to a split over regulation, senators were divided in their responses to Facebook's new, broader understanding of its responsibility for user content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what Zuckerberg said in his testimony:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"It's not enough to just connect people, we have to make sure those connections are positive. It's not enough to just give people a voice, we have to make sure people aren't using it to hurt people or spread misinformation. It's not enough to give people control of their information, we have to make sure developers they've given it to are protecting it too. Across the board, we have a responsibility to not just build tools, but to make sure those tools are used for good.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Some senators asked questions about how, exactly, Facebook plans to be more proactive on this issue, while embracing the idea that Facebook will be accountable for harmful content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But others — like Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb. — sounded a note of caution about the idea of Facebook deciding what's \"positive\" and what's not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sasse asked Zuckerberg to define hate speech and asked about a hypothetical future where \"pro-lifers are prohibited about voicing their views\" on Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wouldn't want you to leave here and think there's a unified view of the Congress that you should be moving toward policing more speech,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KQEDnews/status/983778960151461888\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

He said that Facebook's app review team would have been responsible for that agreement and that nobody from that team has been fired over this scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg agreed that \"victims\" was an appropriate word for the millions of users whose data was shared. \"They did not want their information to be sold to Cambridge Analytica by a developer, and that happened, and it happened on our watch,\" he said. \"Even though we didn't do it, I think we do have a responsibility to be able to prevent it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he denied that the data sharing violated Facebook's\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/11/29/142898301/facebook-settles-with-ftc-on-charges-it-deceived-users-on-privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 2011 consent decree\u003c/a> with the FTC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the terms of that decree, Facebook is required to \"obtain users' affirmative consent\" before sharing their data. Most of the people affected by the Cambridge Analytica scandal did not opt in to Kogan's app, which collected that data; their data was scraped after a friend\u003cem> \u003c/em>opted in. But Zuckerberg argued that the decree was not violated because the \"Facebook Platform,\" which was set up to allow third-party developers to use Facebook data, allowed that practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believe that we rolled out this developer platform and that we explained to people how it worked and that they did consent to it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lawmakers are keenly interested in how Facebook handled — or mishandled — Russian election interference during the 2016 campaigns, how the platform plans to monitor and disclose who is responsible for ads, and how Facebook plans to prevent hate speech or discriminatory ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Topics Zuckerberg has addressed so far include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Informing users about how their data is used:\u003c/strong> \"Long privacy policies are very confusing,\" Zuckerberg said. \"If you make it long and spell out all the detail, then you're probably going to reduce the percent of people who read it.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Why this apology is different from \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/story/why-zuckerberg-15-year-apology-tour-hasnt-fixed-facebook/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>previous apologies from Facebook\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>: \u003c/strong>\"Overall I would say that we're going through a broader philosophical shift in how we approach our responsibility as a company,\" he said. \"We need to take a more proactive role and a broader view of our responsibilities. It's not enough to just build tools. We need to make sure they're used for good. That means we need to now take a more active view in policing the ecosystem.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Policing harmful language:\u003c/strong> Zuckerberg noted that Facebook has had success using artificial intelligence tools to police and enforce communication by blocking terrorist propaganda, but he said it's more difficult to identify hate speech. \"Determining if something is hate speech is very linguistically nuanced,\" he said, and the error rate is high. But he said repeatedly that better AI tools are being developed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Election security:\u003c/strong> \"There are people in Russia whose job it is to try to exploit our systems and other internet systems,\" he said. \"So this is an arms race. They're going to keep getting better at this, and we need to invest in keeping on getting better at this, too.\" He repeated the point again hours later. \"As long as there are people sitting in Russia whose job it is to try to interfere with elections around the world, this is going to be an ongoing conflict,\" he said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Working with Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller on the Russia investigation:\u003c/strong> \"I want to be careful here because that, our work with the special counsel, is confidential and I want to make sure that in an open session I'm not revealing something that's confidential,\" he said. \" ... I am not aware of a subpoena, I believe there may be [a subpoena], but I know we are working with them.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Whether Facebook is a monopoly: \u003c/strong>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., pushed Zuckerberg on whether the platform has any true competition, asking whether there is \"an alternative to Facebook in the private sector.\" Zuckerberg maintained that Facebook offers a variety of services and has competition within different \"categories,\" to which Graham asked, \"You don't think you have a monopoly?\" \"It certainly doesn't feel like that to me,\" Zuckerberg said, to chuckles from the audience.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>On whether Facebook is a \"neutral public forum\":\u003c/strong> Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, pushed Zuckerberg on this. \"The predicate for Section 230 immunity is that you are a neutral public forum,\" he said. \"Do you consider yourself a neutral public forum or are you engaged in political speech?\" (\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2018/03/21/591622450/section-230-a-key-legal-shield-for-facebook-google-is-about-to-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Under Section 230\u003c/a>, online platforms can't be sued for something posted by a user.) Cruz cited allegations of censorship and suppression of conservative speech on the platform. In response, Zuckerberg said, \"We consider ourselves to be a platform for all ideas ... Our goal is certainly not to engage in political speech.\" But, he said, there are \"a number of things that we would all agree are clearly bad,\" which should be removed from the platform.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Transparency in political ads: \u003c/strong>Facebook recently began requiring \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/02/20/587070994/facebook-is-counting-on-postcards-to-prevent-future-election-interference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">location verification\u003c/a> for groups purchasing political or \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-privacy/facebook-backs-political-ad-bill-sets-limits-on-issue-ads-idUSKCN1HD2JH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issue ads\u003c/a> on Facebook. Sen Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., asked whether shell corporations could be used to get around that system. \"If they were running through a corporation domiciled in Delaware, you wouldn't know that they were actually a Russian owner,\" Whitehouse said. \"Senator, that's — that's correct,\" Zuckerberg said.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Who's responsible for identifying violations: \u003c/strong>Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., asked why Facebook puts the burden on users to flag content that needs to be taken down. Zuckerberg cited the \"sheer volume\" of material on Facebook and said new hires and AI tools will help improve the process over time. \"We can't wait five years for Facebook to get rid of \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-fair-housing-lawsuit-ad-discrimination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">housing discrimination content\u003c/a>,\" Coons said, referring to allegations that the site lets housing and rental companies restrict who can see their ads, by excluding, for example, certain races.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg said he didn't know the answer to several questions or that he'd have to check with his team, including whether Facebook employees worked directly with Cambridge Analytica and whether Facebook tracks users' activity across devices while they are offline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook has lost about $100 billion in value since February. As Zuckerberg testified on Tuesday, Facebook stock was up about 4 percent for the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Zuckerberg's \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4435458-Zuckerberg-Opening-Statement-Senate-Testimony\">prepared testimony\u003c/a> — a longer version of his opening comments — he embraced a wider responsibility for user content than Facebook has claimed in the past. He also laid out efforts that he said will help protect users' information and defend against \"bad actors\" on the platform.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>During Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s congressional testimony on Tuesday, several lawmakers asked questions specific to people, places or companies well known in Silicon Valley, but perhaps less so in other places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are a few details explaining those questions:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1. Who is Palmer Luckey?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sen. Ted Cruz (R- Texas) asked Mark Zuckerberg if Facebook hired or fired people based on their political leanings. Cruz then asked about someone named Palmer Luckey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckey is the co-founder of Oculus, a VR company. According to the Daily Beast, while at Facebook, Luckey \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedailybeast.com/palmer-luckey-the-facebook-near-billionaire-secretly-funding-trumps-meme-machine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">funded \u003c/a>a Trump group that circulated dirty memes about Hillary Clinton during the presidential election. Luckey is also accused of financially backing a pro-Trump political organization called Nimble America, a self-described “social welfare 501(c)4 non-profit” in support of then Republican Donald Trump. Zuckerberg said he had no knowledge of Luckey being fired because of political leanings.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. What is Palantir?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) asked Zuckerberg about the role the data mining company Palantir Technologies may have played in the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you think Palantir ever scraped data from Facebook?” Cantwell asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg replied, “I am not familiar with what Palantir does.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cantwell then made this comment: “Some people have referred to them as Stanford Analytica,” alluding to the company’s proximity and connections to Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palantir is a company that was founded by Peter Thiel. Most of the company is housed in nondescript buildings in downtown Palo Alto. Palantir’s original clients were federal agencies of the Underground Utility Location and Damage Prevention (USIC). It has since expanded its customer base to serve state and local governments, as well as private companies in the financial and health care industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month the New York Times \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/us/cambridge-analytica-palantir.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported\u003c/a> that in 2014, Cambridge Analytica sought to harvest the Facebook data of tens of millions of Americans and received help from at least one employee at Palantir.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. What is the IRA?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not to be confused with the Irish Republican Army or an individual retirement account — the IRA that lawmakers keep talking about is the Internet Research Agency. The IRA is a Russian company, based in St. Petersburg, Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States government describes the IRA as a troll farm. It’s believed the IRA employed fake accounts registered on major social networks like Facebook, discussion boards and online newspaper sites to influence the 2016 presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Who is Palmer Luckey?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sen. Ted Cruz (R- Texas) asked Mark Zuckerberg if Facebook hired or fired people based on their political leanings. Cruz then asked about someone named Palmer Luckey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckey is the co-founder of Oculus, a VR company. According to the Daily Beast, while at Facebook, Luckey \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedailybeast.com/palmer-luckey-the-facebook-near-billionaire-secretly-funding-trumps-meme-machine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">funded \u003c/a>a Trump group that circulated dirty memes about Hillary Clinton during the presidential election. Luckey is also accused of financially backing a pro-Trump political organization called Nimble America, a self-described “social welfare 501(c)4 non-profit” in support of then Republican Donald Trump. Zuckerberg said he had no knowledge of Luckey being fired because of political leanings.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. What is Palantir?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) asked Zuckerberg about the role the data mining company Palantir Technologies may have played in the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Most of the company is housed in nondescript buildings in downtown Palo Alto. Palantir’s original clients were federal agencies of the Underground Utility Location and Damage Prevention (USIC). It has since expanded its customer base to serve state and local governments, as well as private companies in the financial and health care industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month the New York Times \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/us/cambridge-analytica-palantir.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported\u003c/a> that in 2014, Cambridge Analytica sought to harvest the Facebook data of tens of millions of Americans and received help from at least one employee at Palantir.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. What is the IRA?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not to be confused with the Irish Republican Army or an individual retirement account — the IRA that lawmakers keep talking about is the Internet Research Agency. The IRA is a Russian company, based in St. Petersburg, Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States government describes the IRA as a troll farm. It’s believed the IRA employed fake accounts registered on major social networks like Facebook, discussion boards and online newspaper sites to influence the 2016 presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It’s an idea they’ve talked about for years, but now feel they can’t put off any longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m tired of having engineers figure stuff out on our behalf,” Reich says. “Allowing ourselves to inhabit a world where engineers are increasingly deciding our future, without the engineers being aware of the ethical responsibilities and considerations of the very technologies they’re pioneering, is a world that I don’t think any of us wants to live in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The professors will be developing the curriculum for the class over the next few months. On this day they’re hashing out a unit about data collection and privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research assistant Michael Dworsky gets them started with a case study. “Facebook has been using facial recognition for a while,” says the fourth-year student, who’s planning to take a job with the social media giant after he graduates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He explains Facebook is developing technologies that can identify users by clothing, posture or gait; others allow advertisers to target people \u003ca href=\"https://patents.google.com/patent/US20150242679\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">based on their facial expressions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The professors start riffing about the different issues this brings up. Sahami points out that this case study raises questions about when \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/consumer-groups-file-ftc-complaint-against-facebook-1523025141\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public information becomes private.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I’m at a supermarket and I’m in line to buy something, the people around me can see what I’m buying in that one basket and I probably don’t care,” Sahami says. “But if I just take that information now aggregated over my shopping lifetime, there is data that I probably would have a reasonable belief to be private.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Reich jumps in: “I’m imagining that part of my task in this section will be to remind students that privacy was a value worth caring about in the first place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahami says this kind of interdisciplinary collaboration between computer science and other disciplines is rare. There have been CS ethics courses since he was a student at Stanford some 30 years ago, but he says the courses haven’t always kept pace with innovation. The courses usually focus on philosophy or public policy, with a touch of tech, or the engineering side of things with a hint of ethics. The professors hope this class bring the disciplines together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just want to push the boundaries of students’ thinking,” Sahami says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Students Rise Up\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Across campus, a handful of Stanford undergrads are sitting around a dorm lounge, thinking about all this, too. They meet a couple of times a month and try to figure out how to give computer science a moral compass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senior Sawyer Birnbaum helped start the group. He explains that at Stanford, CS students are required to meet a “\u003ca href=\"https://ughb.stanford.edu/courses-and-planning/approved-courses/technology-society-courses-2017-18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology in Society\u003c/a>” requirement, but it’s really broad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Probably by far the majority of CS students at Stanford go through their four years here without like really taking any classes that actually force them to think about ethical questions or engage in that kind of ethical analysis,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660982\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11660982 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-1180x789.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-960x642.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-240x161.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-375x251.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-520x348.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751.jpg 1843w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stanford students Sawyer Birnbaum, Andrew Lesh and Axelle Talma talk ethics and CS. \u003ccite>(Vanessa Rancaño/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The students float different ways to address that, including putting in place more stringent requirements and creating ethics courses tailored to specific fields within computer science, but they spend most of the time talking about the need for interdisciplinary instruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Student Noah Arthurs says he became frustrated by what he saw as a trade-school mindset in his computer science classes. “They were so industry-oriented,” he says. “You’re just learning skills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the CS department lacked the kind of intellectual rigor he found in other departments. He came to see it as an extension of the tech industry, rather than an academic discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The professors will always tell you, ‘You’re learning the algorithm that Facebook uses to do facial recognition, or you’re learning the algorithm that Google uses to tell you search results,’ ” he says. “So it’s like there’s always this looming industry that everything is pointing you towards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biology majors can consider a career in bioethics, he points out, so why not a similar specialty for computer science students? He wants to see some option for CS students, aside from working as an engineer at one of the big Silicon Valley firms or launching a startup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Reich believes there’s support for interdisciplinary collaboration. He says the computer science faculty he knows don’t want Stanford University to become a technical university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They want the liberal arts tradition to remain at Stanford,” he says. “So as nearly 50 percent of the undergraduate body is majoring in computer science, the computer science faculty themselves want to ensure that (those students) have a broad education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new course takes a step in that direction, Reich says, but it’s only a piece of what’s needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I dream of the possibility that we could develop an interdisciplinary major,” he says. Or at the least a concentration for people who are interested in the intersection of ethics, public policy and engineering, “rather than deciding that the engineers do what they do, the ethicists do what they do, and the public policy people can catch up to where the engineers are a decade from now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The professors are hoping to roll out the class in January.

On this day they’re hashing out a unit about data collection and privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research assistant Michael Dworsky gets them started with a case study. “Facebook has been using facial recognition for a while,” says the fourth-year student, who’s planning to take a job with the social media giant after he graduates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He explains Facebook is developing technologies that can identify users by clothing, posture or gait; others allow advertisers to target people \u003ca href=\"https://patents.google.com/patent/US20150242679\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">based on their facial expressions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The professors start riffing about the different issues this brings up. Sahami points out that this case study raises questions about when \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/consumer-groups-file-ftc-complaint-against-facebook-1523025141\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public information becomes private.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I’m at a supermarket and I’m in line to buy something, the people around me can see what I’m buying in that one basket and I probably don’t care,” Sahami says. “But if I just take that information now aggregated over my shopping lifetime, there is data that I probably would have a reasonable belief to be private.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Reich jumps in: “I’m imagining that part of my task in this section will be to remind students that privacy was a value worth caring about in the first place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahami says this kind of interdisciplinary collaboration between computer science and other disciplines is rare. There have been CS ethics courses since he was a student at Stanford some 30 years ago, but he says the courses haven’t always kept pace with innovation. The courses usually focus on philosophy or public policy, with a touch of tech, or the engineering side of things with a hint of ethics. The professors hope this class bring the disciplines together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just want to push the boundaries of students’ thinking,” Sahami says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Students Rise Up\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Across campus, a handful of Stanford undergrads are sitting around a dorm lounge, thinking about all this, too. They meet a couple of times a month and try to figure out how to give computer science a moral compass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senior Sawyer Birnbaum helped start the group. He explains that at Stanford, CS students are required to meet a “\u003ca href=\"https://ughb.stanford.edu/courses-and-planning/approved-courses/technology-society-courses-2017-18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology in Society\u003c/a>” requirement, but it’s really broad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Probably by far the majority of CS students at Stanford go through their four years here without like really taking any classes that actually force them to think about ethical questions or engage in that kind of ethical analysis,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660982\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11660982 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-1180x789.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-960x642.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-240x161.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-375x251.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751-520x348.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CS-ethics-discussion1-e1523321015751.jpg 1843w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stanford students Sawyer Birnbaum, Andrew Lesh and Axelle Talma talk ethics and CS. \u003ccite>(Vanessa Rancaño/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The students float different ways to address that, including putting in place more stringent requirements and creating ethics courses tailored to specific fields within computer science, but they spend most of the time talking about the need for interdisciplinary instruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Student Noah Arthurs says he became frustrated by what he saw as a trade-school mindset in his computer science classes. “They were so industry-oriented,” he says. “You’re just learning skills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the CS department lacked the kind of intellectual rigor he found in other departments.

He wants to see some option for CS students, aside from working as an engineer at one of the big Silicon Valley firms or launching a startup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Reich believes there’s support for interdisciplinary collaboration. He says the computer science faculty he knows don’t want Stanford University to become a technical university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They want the liberal arts tradition to remain at Stanford,” he says. “So as nearly 50 percent of the undergraduate body is majoring in computer science, the computer science faculty themselves want to ensure that (those students) have a broad education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new course takes a step in that direction, Reich says, but it’s only a piece of what’s needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I dream of the possibility that we could develop an interdisciplinary major,” he says. Or at the least a concentration for people who are interested in the intersection of ethics, public policy and engineering, “rather than deciding that the engineers do what they do, the ethicists do what they do, and the public policy people can catch up to where the engineers are a decade from now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It will be Zuckerberg's first appearance on Capitol Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday afternoon, more than 40 senators will crowd into a hearing room, where members of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees will have four minutes each to question Zuckerberg. A similar scene will play out Wednesday, when he is set to appear before members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both hearings are expected to be lengthy spectacles following in the long tradition of widely televised congressional inquisitions into corporate scandals — like the 1994 testimony of tobacco CEOs, the probe into steroids in baseball in 2005 and the interrogation of banking executives after the 2008 economic crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are five points to know to before the Facebook hearings get underway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

The information was gathered though an app created in 2013 that invited people to take a personality quiz, while also collecting some data from friends of the quiz takers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The improper data sharing took a political turn because Cambridge Analytica, a British firm, has ties to former White House adviser Steve Bannon and Republican megadonor Robert Mercer. The firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/595338116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">played a role in the 2016 presidential election\u003c/a>, first working with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and then with the Trump campaign. A source close to the Trump operation says psychological profiling was not part of that effort. Cambridge Analytica released a statement on its website on Monday denying the company provided any \"polling, data analytics and digital marketing for the Trump campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats in particular want to know whether the firm exploited users' private information to influence the outcome of the presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Read More About KQED's Coverage of Facebook\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660778/changes-coming-to-facebook-ahead-of-zuckerbergs-testimony-to-congress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Changes Coming to Facebook Ahead of Zuckerberg's Testimony to Congress\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660768/zuckerberg-to-tell-congress-facebooks-dark-underbelly-is-his-mistake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zuckerberg to Tell Congress Facebook's Dark Underbelly Is His Mistake\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660291/facebooks-sheryl-sandberg-on-data-privacy-fail-we-were-way-too-idealistic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg on Data Privacy Fail: 'We Were Way Too Idealistic'\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Facebook now says \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10104712037900071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it had stopped these kinds of data grabs\u003c/a> back in 2014, but news reports suggest Cambridge Analytica did not destroy the data as it had certified to Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers, including Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Select Committee on Intelligence, raised questions about Cambridge Analytica in the past and say they are frustrated that Facebook dismissed their concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think Facebook has been fully forthcoming,\" Warner said on NBC's \u003cem>Meet The Press\u003c/em>. \"I called out Facebook back in December of '16. In the spring of '17, I questioned microtargeting and the use of this really sketchy firm Cambridge Analytica. Early on, for most of 2017, they blew that off.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now lawmakers want answers directly from Zuckerberg about what he knew and did not know about how firms like Cambridge were using and accessing user data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> 2. Congress wants to make a public show of grilling Zuckerberg\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be a massive spectacle with TV cameras lining the staid chamber. The room will be jampacked with lawmakers angling for their sliver of airtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearings are a chance for each lawmaker to show voters that they care about the public outrage surrounding the Cambridge Analytica scandal, even if Congress fails to pass any laws in response to the outcry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress has grown increasingly worried about the role of social media sites in politics since it was revealed that Russia used platforms like Facebook and Twitter to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Lawmakers have repeatedly questioned Facebook, Twitter and Google on issues like online security, online extremism and privacy, but Zuckerberg himself has not yet appeared for questioning. That has lots of lawmakers fuming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a member of both the Judiciary and Commerce committees, said in an interview with NPR's \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> that he wants to know how many other firms could be violating Facebook policies and accessing sensitive user data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The company really is in a moment of reckoning,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/09/600777575/sen-blumenthal-on-syria-chemical-attack-zuckerbergs-testimony\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blumenthal said\u003c/a>. \"The question is one of responsibility for individual data, and it goes well beyond Cambridge Analytica.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg got a first taste of the congressional hearing circus on Monday when he met privately with individual senators ahead of the hearing. While he faced questioning inside the offices, a sprawling crowd of reporters, tourists and onlookers gathered in the office building halls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viewers can expect a similar scene, complete with protesters, outside the hearing room as the cameras roll on Zuckerberg's testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. And Congress wants to know about far more than just Cambridge Analytica \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers are also concerned about how Facebook regulates its massive online ad platform and what the company is doing to keep bad actors out of users' daily feeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy, who is on the Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that the first question Zuckerberg should answer is: \"Does he really know who is running ads on his platform?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Facebook's lawyers say they have 500,000 unique advertisers a month,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transcript-sen-john-kennedy-on-face-the-nation-april-8-2018/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kennedy said in an interview\u003c/a> on CBS' \u003cem>Face The Nation\u003c/em>. \"I don't think they know who is running ads and issue campaigns. We need to talk about how we're going to find out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to digital advertising, Facebook and Google completely dominate the field, sometimes even being criticized as a duopoly on digital ad sales. This has prompted calls for an antitrust investigation of the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cable and telecom companies, for example, have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/03/28/521813464/as-congress-repeals-internet-privacy-rules-putting-your-options-in-perspective\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">historically pointed\u003c/a> to the vast reach of Facebook and Google to present them as direct competitors, though competitors who don't face the same amount of regulatory oversight. In recent days, \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/charter-ceo-calls-for-privacy-law-apply-to-all-e2938a49-360e-4dba-a638-5fa4c492d9ff.html?utm_source=sidebar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some broadband companies\u003c/a> have been publicly calling for Congress to regulate privacy and the Silicon Valley giants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Zuckerberg may not have the kind of answers they're looking for\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most lawmakers say they want clear and specific answers from Zuckerberg about what the company knew, when they knew it and what they're going to do to prevent privacy violations in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zuckerberg may not be willing to go there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In prepared remarks, Zuckerberg indicates he is grappling with the bigger identity of Facebook. For years, he has presented the social network as a neutral platform. Zuckerberg argues the company is not a media arbiter, but a tech firm firmly rooted \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2018/03/21/591622450/section-230-a-key-legal-shield-for-facebook-google-is-about-to-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a law that shields\u003c/a> internet companies from legal responsibility for what people say and do online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, Zuckerberg is expected to tell lawmakers that Facebook made a \"big mistake\" in taking such a narrow view of its responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not enough to just connect people, we have to make sure those connections are positive,\" he says in \u003ca href=\"http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF00/20180411/108090/HHRG-115-IF00-Wstate-ZuckerbergM-20180411.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prepared testimony\u003c/a>. \"We have a responsibility to not just build tools, but to make sure those tools are used for good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Some lawmakers say it's time to regulate how social media companies handle personal data. Facebook agrees — sort of \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There isn't much Congress can do right now to change the way Facebook — or other social media companies — handle user data or who can buy ads on their platforms. Facebook is a private company and is not subject to existing rules about political advertising or user data — at least not in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers, like Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, the top Democrat on the Commerce committee, told reporters on Monday that Congress has to think seriously about changing that, and Zuckerberg knows it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believe that he understands that regulation could be right around the corner,\" Nelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internet companies' privacy practices are reviewed by the Federal Trade Commission, which investigates violations rather than sets pre-emptive regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FTC in 2011 had reached \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2011/11/facebook-settles-ftc-charges-it-deceived-consumers-failing-keep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a settlement with Facebook\u003c/a> after federal investigators alleged that Facebook did not warn people about changes to their privacy settings. The commission also alleged that Facebook allowed far more of users' data to be shared with advertisers and apps than it represented to users. The settlement did not include a fine, but it did set a number of new privacy requirements for Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the news of Cambridge Analytica's unauthorized data grab, the FTC — in a rare public acknowledgement — has confirmed it's once again investigating Facebook's privacy practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside of the U.S., regulations are on the way. The European Union has recently adopted landmark privacy standards that go into effect on May 25.

The information was gathered though an app created in 2013 that invited people to take a personality quiz, while also collecting some data from friends of the quiz takers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The improper data sharing took a political turn because Cambridge Analytica, a British firm, has ties to former White House adviser Steve Bannon and Republican megadonor Robert Mercer. The firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/595338116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">played a role in the 2016 presidential election\u003c/a>, first working with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and then with the Trump campaign. A source close to the Trump operation says psychological profiling was not part of that effort. Cambridge Analytica released a statement on its website on Monday denying the company provided any \"polling, data analytics and digital marketing for the Trump campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats in particular want to know whether the firm exploited users' private information to influence the outcome of the presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Read More About KQED's Coverage of Facebook\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660778/changes-coming-to-facebook-ahead-of-zuckerbergs-testimony-to-congress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Changes Coming to Facebook Ahead of Zuckerberg's Testimony to Congress\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660768/zuckerberg-to-tell-congress-facebooks-dark-underbelly-is-his-mistake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zuckerberg to Tell Congress Facebook's Dark Underbelly Is His Mistake\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660291/facebooks-sheryl-sandberg-on-data-privacy-fail-we-were-way-too-idealistic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg on Data Privacy Fail: 'We Were Way Too Idealistic'\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Facebook now says \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10104712037900071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it had stopped these kinds of data grabs\u003c/a> back in 2014, but news reports suggest Cambridge Analytica did not destroy the data as it had certified to Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers, including Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Select Committee on Intelligence, raised questions about Cambridge Analytica in the past and say they are frustrated that Facebook dismissed their concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think Facebook has been fully forthcoming,\" Warner said on NBC's \u003cem>Meet The Press\u003c/em>. \"I called out Facebook back in December of '16.

Early on, for most of 2017, they blew that off.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now lawmakers want answers directly from Zuckerberg about what he knew and did not know about how firms like Cambridge were using and accessing user data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> 2. Congress wants to make a public show of grilling Zuckerberg\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be a massive spectacle with TV cameras lining the staid chamber. The room will be jampacked with lawmakers angling for their sliver of airtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearings are a chance for each lawmaker to show voters that they care about the public outrage surrounding the Cambridge Analytica scandal, even if Congress fails to pass any laws in response to the outcry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress has grown increasingly worried about the role of social media sites in politics since it was revealed that Russia used platforms like Facebook and Twitter to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Lawmakers have repeatedly questioned Facebook, Twitter and Google on issues like online security, online extremism and privacy, but Zuckerberg himself has not yet appeared for questioning. That has lots of lawmakers fuming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a member of both the Judiciary and Commerce committees, said in an interview with NPR's \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> that he wants to know how many other firms could be violating Facebook policies and accessing sensitive user data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The company really is in a moment of reckoning,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/09/600777575/sen-blumenthal-on-syria-chemical-attack-zuckerbergs-testimony\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blumenthal said\u003c/a>. \"The question is one of responsibility for individual data, and it goes well beyond Cambridge Analytica.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg got a first taste of the congressional hearing circus on Monday when he met privately with individual senators ahead of the hearing. While he faced questioning inside the offices, a sprawling crowd of reporters, tourists and onlookers gathered in the office building halls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viewers can expect a similar scene, complete with protesters, outside the hearing room as the cameras roll on Zuckerberg's testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. And Congress wants to know about far more than just Cambridge Analytica \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers are also concerned about how Facebook regulates its massive online ad platform and what the company is doing to keep bad actors out of users' daily feeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy, who is on the Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that the first question Zuckerberg should answer is: \"Does he really know who is running ads on his platform?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Facebook's lawyers say they have 500,000 unique advertisers a month,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transcript-sen-john-kennedy-on-face-the-nation-april-8-2018/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kennedy said in an interview\u003c/a> on CBS' \u003cem>Face The Nation\u003c/em>. \"I don't think they know who is running ads and issue campaigns. We need to talk about how we're going to find out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to digital advertising, Facebook and Google completely dominate the field, sometimes even being criticized as a duopoly on digital ad sales. This has prompted calls for an antitrust investigation of the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cable and telecom companies, for example, have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/03/28/521813464/as-congress-repeals-internet-privacy-rules-putting-your-options-in-perspective\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">historically pointed\u003c/a> to the vast reach of Facebook and Google to present them as direct competitors, though competitors who don't face the same amount of regulatory oversight. In recent days, \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/charter-ceo-calls-for-privacy-law-apply-to-all-e2938a49-360e-4dba-a638-5fa4c492d9ff.html?utm_source=sidebar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some broadband companies\u003c/a> have been publicly calling for Congress to regulate privacy and the Silicon Valley giants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Zuckerberg may not have the kind of answers they're looking for\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most lawmakers say they want clear and specific answers from Zuckerberg about what the company knew, when they knew it and what they're going to do to prevent privacy violations in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Zuckerberg may not be willing to go there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In prepared remarks, Zuckerberg indicates he is grappling with the bigger identity of Facebook. For years, he has presented the social network as a neutral platform. Zuckerberg argues the company is not a media arbiter, but a tech firm firmly rooted \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2018/03/21/591622450/section-230-a-key-legal-shield-for-facebook-google-is-about-to-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a law that shields\u003c/a> internet companies from legal responsibility for what people say and do online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, Zuckerberg is expected to tell lawmakers that Facebook made a \"big mistake\" in taking such a narrow view of its responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not enough to just connect people, we have to make sure those connections are positive,\" he says in \u003ca href=\"http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF00/20180411/108090/HHRG-115-IF00-Wstate-ZuckerbergM-20180411.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prepared testimony\u003c/a>. \"We have a responsibility to not just build tools, but to make sure those tools are used for good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Some lawmakers say it's time to regulate how social media companies handle personal data. Facebook agrees — sort of \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There isn't much Congress can do right now to change the way Facebook — or other social media companies — handle user data or who can buy ads on their platforms. Facebook is a private company and is not subject to existing rules about political advertising or user data — at least not in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers, like Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, the top Democrat on the Commerce committee, told reporters on Monday that Congress has to think seriously about changing that, and Zuckerberg knows it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believe that he understands that regulation could be right around the corner,\" Nelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internet companies' privacy practices are reviewed by the Federal Trade Commission, which investigates violations rather than sets pre-emptive regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FTC in 2011 had reached \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2011/11/facebook-settles-ftc-charges-it-deceived-consumers-failing-keep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a settlement with Facebook\u003c/a> after federal investigators alleged that Facebook did not warn people about changes to their privacy settings. The commission also alleged that Facebook allowed far more of users' data to be shared with advertisers and apps than it represented to users. The settlement did not include a fine, but it did set a number of new privacy requirements for Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the news of Cambridge Analytica's unauthorized data grab, the FTC — in a rare public acknowledgement — has confirmed it's once again investigating Facebook's privacy practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside of the U.S., regulations are on the way. The European Union has recently adopted landmark privacy standards that go into effect on May 25. Known as the General Data Protection Regulation, the rules require websites to get explicit consent from users before collecting any data. The new EU law also requires companies to disclose data breaches within 72 hours and to get parents' approval to carry personal data of children younger than 16.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco officials are weighing steps — including possible legal action — to try to rein in the sudden proliferation of rental electric stand-up scooters on the city’s streets and sidewalks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scooters began appearing on city streets last month, distributed by a Southern California firm called Bird and two Bay Area dockless bike startups — LimeBike and Spin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials voiced disapproval because the companies put the scooters on the street without permits. Numerous reports of people riding the mini-vehicles on sidewalks — and dumping them haphazardly when they’re done riding — has heightened that official displeasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result: Board of Supervisors’ legislation that would empower the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to develop and enforce regulations for the scooters. The proposal, by Supervisor Aaron Peskin, is scheduled to be heard next week in the board’s Land Use and Transportation Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On another front, City Attorney Dennis Herrera said in a statement Monday his office has received “multiple” complaints about the scooters and is exploring what legal remedies might be used to ensure they don’t interfere with pedestrian safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s sidewalks “are not dumping grounds for commercial scooters,” Herrera said. “Kids, parents with strollers, seniors or people in wheelchairs shouldn’t be tripping over scooters or forced into traffic to get around them. San Franciscans’ safety and public resources are not commodities for these companies to monetize. San Francisco has had enough of the mantra ‘move fast and break things.’ We are examining all of our legal options to protect the more than one million people who use San Francisco’s sidewalks every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early last year, Herrera’s office was successful in forcing Bluegogo, a now-defunct China-based dockless bike company, to remove its cycles from the streets. The Bluegogo episode prompted an ordinance by Peskin to require dockless bike companies to obtain SFMTA permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of course, we didn’t anticipate stationless scooters” when the dockless bike ordinance was written, Peskin said in an interview Monday. “I actually introduced legislation before Bird and Lime dumped hundreds of these devices on our sidewalks to give the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency the ability to permit these and set reasonable permit conditions. … I suspect these companies knew full well that this legislation was forthcoming and decided that they would rather ask forgiveness than permission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA spokesman Paul Rose said in an email Monday that the agency is working with Peskin to develop regulations for “motorized scooter sharing in the public right-of-way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that while the electric stand-up scooters are not explicitly covered under the city’s transportation code, other legal requirements do apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is illegal to place a scooter (or any other object) in a manner that obstructs the sidewalk or other pedestrian paths of travel,” Rose said. “Also, state law prohibits riding motorized scooters on any sidewalk and requires that scooter riders wear helmets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said the city wants “any potential operators of new transportation services to work closely with us prior to launching a new program. While we welcome improved mobility options, we want to carefully consider the potential benefits and impacts of any new private transportation service to ensure that it serves the public interest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bird and LimeBike did not respond immediately to requests for comment. However, San Francisco-based Spin maintained that it has been cooperative with the SFMTA and has taken steps to educate customers about the do’s and don’ts of scooter etiquette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the first time we’re hearing about this statement from the city attorney’s office,” Spin spokeswoman Rachel Starr said in an email Monday. “We have a policy that scooters must be ridden only on roads and bike lanes, and that they must be parked on wide sidewalks in the furniture zone — closer to the curb — so as not to impede pedestrian traffic and ensure public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starr noted that Spin’s scooter app includes pop-ups informing users that riding on sidewalks is prohibited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Additionally, our in-house customer support team dispatches our crews whenever we receive a report of an improperly parked scooter that may be obstructing the right of way,” she said. “We’re committed to getting San Franciscans out of cars and using environmentally-friendly transportation options to help mitigate congestion and pollution in our city, but we understand the importance of addressing valuable concerns from the community around safety and appropriate usage of scooters. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the three firms, Bird gained early notoriety last fall when it distributed hundreds of its scooters in Santa Monica without informing the city. The city filed criminal charges, alleging that the company had failed to obtain business licenses and vendor permits. The company \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-bird-scooters-20180215-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pleaded no contest\u003c/a> in February and agreed to pay $300,000 and get the required licenses to settle the case.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Numerous reports of people riding the mini-vehicles on sidewalks — and dumping them haphazardly when they’re done riding — has heightened that official displeasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result: Board of Supervisors’ legislation that would empower the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to develop and enforce regulations for the scooters. The proposal, by Supervisor Aaron Peskin, is scheduled to be heard next week in the board’s Land Use and Transportation Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On another front, City Attorney Dennis Herrera said in a statement Monday his office has received “multiple” complaints about the scooters and is exploring what legal remedies might be used to ensure they don’t interfere with pedestrian safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s sidewalks “are not dumping grounds for commercial scooters,” Herrera said. “Kids, parents with strollers, seniors or people in wheelchairs shouldn’t be tripping over scooters or forced into traffic to get around them. San Franciscans’ safety and public resources are not commodities for these companies to monetize. San Francisco has had enough of the mantra ‘move fast and break things.’ We are examining all of our legal options to protect the more than one million people who use San Francisco’s sidewalks every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early last year, Herrera’s office was successful in forcing Bluegogo, a now-defunct China-based dockless bike company, to remove its cycles from the streets. The Bluegogo episode prompted an ordinance by Peskin to require dockless bike companies to obtain SFMTA permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of course, we didn’t anticipate stationless scooters” when the dockless bike ordinance was written, Peskin said in an interview Monday. “I actually introduced legislation before Bird and Lime dumped hundreds of these devices on our sidewalks to give the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency the ability to permit these and set reasonable permit conditions. … I suspect these companies knew full well that this legislation was forthcoming and decided that they would rather ask forgiveness than permission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMTA spokesman Paul Rose said in an email Monday that the agency is working with Peskin to develop regulations for “motorized scooter sharing in the public right-of-way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that while the electric stand-up scooters are not explicitly covered under the city’s transportation code, other legal requirements do apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is illegal to place a scooter (or any other object) in a manner that obstructs the sidewalk or other pedestrian paths of travel,” Rose said. “Also, state law prohibits riding motorized scooters on any sidewalk and requires that scooter riders wear helmets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said the city wants “any potential operators of new transportation services to work closely with us prior to launching a new program. While we welcome improved mobility options, we want to carefully consider the potential benefits and impacts of any new private transportation service to ensure that it serves the public interest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bird and LimeBike did not respond immediately to requests for comment. However, San Francisco-based Spin maintained that it has been cooperative with the SFMTA and has taken steps to educate customers about the do’s and don’ts of scooter etiquette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the first time we’re hearing about this statement from the city attorney’s office,” Spin spokeswoman Rachel Starr said in an email Monday. “We have a policy that scooters must be ridden only on roads and bike lanes, and that they must be parked on wide sidewalks in the furniture zone — closer to the curb — so as not to impede pedestrian traffic and ensure public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starr noted that Spin’s scooter app includes pop-ups informing users that riding on sidewalks is prohibited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Additionally, our in-house customer support team dispatches our crews whenever we receive a report of an improperly parked scooter that may be obstructing the right of way,” she said. “We’re committed to getting San Franciscans out of cars and using environmentally-friendly transportation options to help mitigate congestion and pollution in our city, but we understand the importance of addressing valuable concerns from the community around safety and appropriate usage of scooters. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the three firms, Bird gained early notoriety last fall when it distributed hundreds of its scooters in Santa Monica without informing the city. The city filed criminal charges, alleging that the company had failed to obtain business licenses and vendor permits. The company \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-bird-scooters-20180215-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pleaded no contest\u003c/a> in February and agreed to pay $300,000 and get the required licenses to settle the case.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But that model isn't supposed to work for U.S. children, who are protected by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a 20-year-old law that prohibits internet companies from knowingly collecting personal data from kids under 13 without their parents' consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition accuses YouTube of violating COPPA and deliberately profiting off luring children into what Chester calls an \"ad-filled digital playground\" where commercials for toys, theme parks or sneakers can surface alongside kid-oriented videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube said in an emailed statement that it \"will read the complaint thoroughly and evaluate if there are things we can do to improve. Because YouTube is not for children, we've invested significantly in the creation of the YouTube Kids app to offer an alternative specifically designed for children.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That toddler-oriented YouTube Kids app, launched in 2015, offers more parental controls but is not widely used — and uses the same videos and channels that kids can also find on the regular YouTube service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it's not known if the FTC will take action, the complaint comes at a time of increased public scrutiny over the tech industry's mining of personal data and after the FTC opened an investigation last month into Facebook's privacy practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Read More About Privacy Concerns Among Tech Giants\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11657953/ftc-confirms-facebook-investigation-on-privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Senate, FTC, State AGs Want to Know More About Data Privacy at Facebook\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660746/as-views-of-tech-turn-negative-remorse-comes-to-silicon-valley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As Views of Tech Turn Negative, Remorse Comes to Silicon Valley\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11650102/tech-giants-under-pressure-over-russian-opposition-leaders-posts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tech Giants Under Pressure Over Russian Opposition Leader's Posts\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"It seems like (the FTC) may be more reinvigorated and ready to take these issues seriously,\" said Josh Golin, director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, which drafted the complaint along with the Center for Digital Democracy and a Georgetown University law clinic. Several other groups have signed on, including Common Sense Media, which runs a popular website for families, and the advocacy division of Consumer Reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the day of reckoning has arrived,\" said U.S. Sen. Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat who co-authored COPPA in the 1990s and says he wants the FTC to look into the YouTube complaint. \"Americans want to know the answers as to whether or not the privacy of their children is being compromised in the online world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FTC spokeswoman Juliana Gruenwald Henderson said in an email that the agency hasn't yet received the letter but looks forward to reviewing it. The complaint was originally scheduled to be filed last week but was delayed after the shooting on Tuesday at YouTube's California headquarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We take enforcement of COPPA very seriously and have brought more than two dozen COPPA cases since the COPPA rule was enacted,\" she said. The FTC's investigations aren't usually public, but it has previously settled child privacy cases with Yelp, mobile advertising network inMobi and electronic toy-maker VTech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of those platforms are as popular for kids as YouTube, which has toddler-themed channels with names like ChuChuTV nursery rhymes, which as of last week counted more than 16 million subscribers and 13.4 billion views. It also has more personality-driven programs that cater to preteens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former FTC attorney who now advises companies on COPPA compliance said a case against YouTube would not be straightforward because it's a general-audience service, making it hard to tell if parents are curating content for their kids to watch or letting them use it on their own. Kandi Parsons said the FTC hasn't yet set its targets on kid-directed channels within broader media websites, though that doesn't mean it won't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the FTC thought that a service was directed to children and it was delivering online targeted advertising without consent, that could be a violation,\" Parsons said. She said the FTC could send Google a civil subpoena seeking more information, and also use other techniques to find out how the service is tracking its users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say Google knows what it is doing. They point to its \"Google Preferred\" program that allows advertisers on YouTube to pay a premium to get their ads on the most popular videos. The program includes a \"Parenting & Family Lineup\" that has featured channels such as ChuChu TV, Fox's BabyTV and Seven Super Girls, whose topics include \"fluffy unicorn slime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube does \"age-gate\" to block children who identify themselves as under 13 from starting an account that allows users to post videos, but an account isn't needed to watch videos on the platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's laughable if Google execs claim that they think the parent is in charge of the online viewing behaviors of tens of millions of children,\" Chester said. \"Children are watching this content by themselves. Google is trying to look the other way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chester, who helped create COPPA in the 1990s, said he's confident that the FTC will take a serious look after years of letting Google off the hook for pretending that kids weren't using YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They created a successful model monetizing kids' data on YouTube and really did not want to think about the consequences,\" he said. \"Google is one of those companies that has failed to address its ethical dilemmas in a serious way.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

But that model isn't supposed to work for U.S. children, who are protected by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a 20-year-old law that prohibits internet companies from knowingly collecting personal data from kids under 13 without their parents' consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition accuses YouTube of violating COPPA and deliberately profiting off luring children into what Chester calls an \"ad-filled digital playground\" where commercials for toys, theme parks or sneakers can surface alongside kid-oriented videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube said in an emailed statement that it \"will read the complaint thoroughly and evaluate if there are things we can do to improve. Because YouTube is not for children, we've invested significantly in the creation of the YouTube Kids app to offer an alternative specifically designed for children.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That toddler-oriented YouTube Kids app, launched in 2015, offers more parental controls but is not widely used — and uses the same videos and channels that kids can also find on the regular YouTube service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it's not known if the FTC will take action, the complaint comes at a time of increased public scrutiny over the tech industry's mining of personal data and after the FTC opened an investigation last month into Facebook's privacy practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Read More About Privacy Concerns Among Tech Giants\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11657953/ftc-confirms-facebook-investigation-on-privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Senate, FTC, State AGs Want to Know More About Data Privacy at Facebook\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660746/as-views-of-tech-turn-negative-remorse-comes-to-silicon-valley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As Views of Tech Turn Negative, Remorse Comes to Silicon Valley\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11650102/tech-giants-under-pressure-over-russian-opposition-leaders-posts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tech Giants Under Pressure Over Russian Opposition Leader's Posts\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"It seems like (the FTC) may be more reinvigorated and ready to take these issues seriously,\" said Josh Golin, director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, which drafted the complaint along with the Center for Digital Democracy and a Georgetown University law clinic. Several other groups have signed on, including Common Sense Media, which runs a popular website for families, and the advocacy division of Consumer Reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the day of reckoning has arrived,\" said U.S. Sen. Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat who co-authored COPPA in the 1990s and says he wants the FTC to look into the YouTube complaint. \"Americans want to know the answers as to whether or not the privacy of their children is being compromised in the online world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FTC spokeswoman Juliana Gruenwald Henderson said in an email that the agency hasn't yet received the letter but looks forward to reviewing it. The complaint was originally scheduled to be filed last week but was delayed after the shooting on Tuesday at YouTube's California headquarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We take enforcement of COPPA very seriously and have brought more than two dozen COPPA cases since the COPPA rule was enacted,\" she said. The FTC's investigations aren't usually public, but it has previously settled child privacy cases with Yelp, mobile advertising network inMobi and electronic toy-maker VTech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of those platforms are as popular for kids as YouTube, which has toddler-themed channels with names like ChuChuTV nursery rhymes, which as of last week counted more than 16 million subscribers and 13.4 billion views. It also has more personality-driven programs that cater to preteens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former FTC attorney who now advises companies on COPPA compliance said a case against YouTube would not be straightforward because it's a general-audience service, making it hard to tell if parents are curating content for their kids to watch or letting them use it on their own. Kandi Parsons said the FTC hasn't yet set its targets on kid-directed channels within broader media websites, though that doesn't mean it won't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the FTC thought that a service was directed to children and it was delivering online targeted advertising without consent, that could be a violation,\" Parsons said. She said the FTC could send Google a civil subpoena seeking more information, and also use other techniques to find out how the service is tracking its users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say Google knows what it is doing. They point to its \"Google Preferred\" program that allows advertisers on YouTube to pay a premium to get their ads on the most popular videos. The program includes a \"Parenting & Family Lineup\" that has featured channels such as ChuChu TV, Fox's BabyTV and Seven Super Girls, whose topics include \"fluffy unicorn slime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube does \"age-gate\" to block children who identify themselves as under 13 from starting an account that allows users to post videos, but an account isn't needed to watch videos on the platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's laughable if Google execs claim that they think the parent is in charge of the online viewing behaviors of tens of millions of children,\" Chester said. \"Children are watching this content by themselves. Google is trying to look the other way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chester, who helped create COPPA in the 1990s, said he's confident that the FTC will take a serious look after years of letting Google off the hook for pretending that kids weren't using YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
