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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will face Congress in two separate hearings this week, as his company grapples with intense scrutiny over privacy and security on the social media site. 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. Congress wants answers on what Facebook really knew about Cambridge Analytica\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high-profile hearing was announced in response to widespread public outcry over the news that the private information of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/04/599542151/facebook-says-cambridge-analytica-data-grab-may-be-much-bigger-than-first-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some 87 million users\u003c/a> was shared with a political data firm, Cambridge Analytica, in violation of Facebook's policies. 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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

"content": "\u003cp>Read carefully through the fine print of YouTube's terms of service and you might notice that you've affirmed you are old enough to watch it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use the service,\" the terms say. \"There are lots of other great web sites for you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a warning that goes unheeded by millions of children around the world who visit YouTube to watch cartoons, nursery rhymes, science experiments or videos of toys being unboxed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a formal complaint being filed Monday, child advocates and consumer groups are asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and impose potentially billions of dollars of penalties on Google, the owner of YouTube, for allegedly violating children's online privacy and allowing ads to target them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Google profits handsomely from selling advertising to kid-directed programs that it packages,\" said Jeff Chester, director of the Center for Digital Democracy, one of the groups that drafted the complaint. \"It makes deals with producers and distributors of kids' online programs worldwide. Google has built a global and very lucrative business based on kids' deep connections to YouTube.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube's business model relies on tracking IP addresses, search history, device identifiers, location and other personal data about its users so that it can gauge their interests and tailor advertising to them. 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>",

INTRODUCTION\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chairman Walden, Ranking Member Pallone, and Members of the Committee,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We face a number of important issues around privacy, safety, and democracy, and you will rightfully have some hard questions for me to answer. Before I talk about the steps we’re taking to address them, I want to talk about how we got here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook is an idealistic and optimistic company. For most of our existence, we focused on all the good that connecting people can bring. As Facebook has grown, people everywhere have gotten a powerful new tool to stay connected to the people they love, make their voices heard, and build communities and businesses. Just recently, we’ve seen the #metoo movement and the March for Our Lives, organized, at least in part, on Facebook. After Hurricane Harvey, people raised more than $20 million for relief. And more than 70 million small businesses now use Facebook to grow and create jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s clear now that we didn’t do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as well. That goes for fake news, foreign interference in elections, and hate speech, as well as developers and data privacy. We didn’t take a broad enough view of our responsibility, and that was a big mistake. It was my mistake, and I’m sorry. I started Facebook, I run it, and I’m responsible for what happens here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So now we have to go through every part of our relationship with people and make sure we’re taking a broad enough view of our responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\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>\n\u003cp>It will take some time to work through all of the changes we need to make, but I’m committed to getting it right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes improving the way we protect people’s information and safeguard elections around the world. Here are a few key things we’re doing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>II. CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working to understand exactly what happened with Cambridge Analytica and taking steps to make sure this doesn’t happen again. We took important actions to prevent this from happening again today four years ago, but we also made mistakes, there’s more to do, and we need to step up and do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A. What Happened\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2007, we launched the Facebook Platform with the vision that more apps should be social. Your calendar should be able to show your friends’ birthdays, your maps should show where your friends live, and your address book should show their pictures. To do this, we enabled people to log into apps and share who their friends were and some information about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, a Cambridge University researcher named Aleksandr Kogan created a personality quiz app. It was installed by around 300,000 people who agreed to share some of their Facebook information as well as some information from their friends whose privacy settings allowed it. Given the way our platform worked at the time this meant Kogan was able to access some information about tens of millions of their friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, to prevent abusive apps, we announced that we were changing the entire platform to dramatically limit the Facebook information apps could access. Most importantly, apps like Kogan’s could no longer ask for information about a person’s friends unless their friends had also authorized the app. We also required developers to get approval from Facebook before they could request any data beyond a user’s public profile, friend list, and email address. These actions would prevent any app like Kogan’s from being able to access as much Facebook data today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, we learned from journalists at The Guardian that Kogan had shared data from his app with Cambridge Analytica. It is against our policies for developers to share data without people’s consent, so we immediately banned Kogan’s app from our platform, and demanded that Kogan and other entities he gave the data to, including Cambridge Analytica, formally certify that they had deleted all improperly acquired data — which they ultimately did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, we learned from The Guardian, The New York Times and Channel 4 that Cambridge Analytica may not have deleted the data as they had certified. We immediately banned them from using any of our services. Cambridge Analytica claims they have already deleted the data and has agreed to a forensic audit by a firm we hired to investigate this. We’re also working with the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office, which has jurisdiction over Cambridge Analytica, as it completes its investigation into what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>B. What We Are Doing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a responsibility to make sure what happened with Kogan and Cambridge Analytica doesn’t happen again. Here are some of the steps we’re taking:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Safeguarding our platform. We need to make sure that developers like Kogan who got access to a lot of information in the past can’t get access to as much information going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We made some big changes to the Facebook platform in 2014 to dramatically restrict the amount of data that developers can access and to proactively review the apps on our platform. This makes it so a developer today can’t do what Kogan did years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• But there’s more we can do here to limit the information developers can access and put more safeguards in place to prevent abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We’re removing developers’ access to your data if you haven’t used their app in three months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We’re reducing the data you give an app when you approve it to only your name, profile photo, and email address. That’s a lot less than apps can get on any other major app platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We’re requiring developers to not only get approval but also to sign a contract that imposes strict requirements in order to ask anyone for access to their posts or other private data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We’re restricting more APIs like groups and events. You should be able to sign into apps and share your public information easily, but anything that might also share other people’s information — like other posts in groups you’re in or other people going to events you’re going to — will be much more restricted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Two weeks ago, we found out that a feature that lets you look someone up by their phone number and email was abused. This feature is useful in cases where people have the same name, but it was abused to link people’s public Facebook information to a phone number they already had. When we found out about the abuse, we shut this feature down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Investigating other apps. We’re in the process of investigating every app that had access to a large amount of information before we locked down our platform in 2014. If we detect suspicious activity, we’ll do a full forensic audit. And if we find that someone is improperly using data, we’ll ban them and tell everyone affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Building better controls. Finally, we’re making it easier to understand which apps you’ve allowed to access your data. This week we started showing everyone a list of the apps you’ve used and an easy way to revoke their permissions to your data. You can already do this in your privacy settings, but we’re going to put it at the top of News Feed to make sure everyone sees it. And we also told everyone whose Facebook information may have been shared with Cambridge Analytica.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the steps we had already taken in 2014, I believe these are the next steps we must take to continue to secure our platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>III. RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook’s mission is about giving people a voice and bringing people closer together. Those are deeply democratic values and we’re proud of them. I don’t want anyone to use our tools to undermine democracy. That’s not what we stand for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were too slow to spot and respond to Russian interference, and we’re working hard to get better. Our sophistication in handling these threats is growing and improving quickly. We will continue working with the government to understand the full extent of Russian interference, and we will do our part not only to ensure the integrity of free and fair elections around the world, but also to give everyone a voice and to be a force for good in democracy everywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A. What Happened\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elections have always been especially sensitive times for our security team, and the 2016 U.S. presidential election was no exception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our security team has been aware of traditional Russian cyber threats — like hacking and malware — for years. Leading up to Election Day in November 2016, we detected and dealt with several threats with ties to Russia. This included activity by a group called APT28, that the U.S. government has publicly linked to Russian military intelligence services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while our primary focus was on traditional threats, we also saw some new behavior in the summer of 2016 when APT28-related accounts, under the banner of DC Leaks, created fake personas that were used to seed stolen information to journalists. We shut these accounts down for violating our policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the election, we continued to investigate and learn more about these new threats. What we found was that bad actors had used coordinated networks of fake accounts to interfere in the election: promoting or attacking specific candidates and causes, creating distrust in political institutions, or simply spreading confusion. Some of these bad actors also used our ads tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also learned about a disinformation campaign run by the Internet Research Agency (IRA) — a Russian agency that has repeatedly acted deceptively and tried to manipulate people in the US, Europe, and Russia. We found about 470 accounts and pages linked to the IRA, which generated around 80,000 Facebook posts over about a two-year period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our best estimate is that approximately 126 million people may have been served content from a Facebook Page associated with the IRA at some point during that period. On Instagram, where our data on reach is not as complete, we found about 120,000 pieces of content, and estimate that an additional 20 million people were likely served it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the same period, the IRA also spent approximately $100,000 on more than 3,000 ads on Facebook and Instagram, which were seen by an estimated 11 million people in the United States. We shut down these IRA accounts in August 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>B. What We Are Doing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no question that we should have spotted Russian interference earlier, and we’re working hard to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Our actions include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Building new technology to prevent abuse. Since 2016, we have improved our techniques to prevent nation states from interfering in foreign elections, and we’ve built more advanced AI tools to remove fake accounts more generally. There have been a number of important elections since then where these new tools have been successfully deployed. For example:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In France, leading up to the presidential election in 2017, we found and took down 30,000 fake accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In Germany, before the 2017 elections, we worked directly with the election commission to learn from them about the threats they saw and to share information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In the U.S. Senate Alabama special election last year, we deployed new AI tools that proactively detected and removed fake accounts from Macedonia trying to spread misinformation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We have disabled thousands of accounts tied to organized, financially motivated fake news spammers. These investigations have been used to improve our automated systems that find fake accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Last week, we took down more than 270 additional pages and accounts operated by the IRA and used to target people in Russia and Russian speakers in countries like Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. Some of the pages we removed belong to Russian news organizations that we determined were controlled by the IRA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Significantly increasing our investment in security. We now have about 15,000 people working on security and content review. We’ll have more than 20,000 by the end of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• I’ve directed our teams to invest so much in security — on top of the other investments we’re making — that it will significantly impact our profitability going forward. But I want to be clear about what our priority is: protecting our community is more important than maximizing our profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Strengthening our advertising policies. We know some Members of Congress are exploring ways to increase transparency around political or issue advertising, and we’re happy to keep working with Congress on that. But we aren’t waiting for legislation to act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• From now on, every advertiser who wants to run political or issue ads will need to be authorized. To get authorized, advertisers will need to confirm their identity and location. Any advertiser who doesn’t pass will be prohibited from running political or issue ads. We will also label them and advertisers will have to show you who paid for them. We’re starting this in the U.S. and expanding to the rest of the world in the coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• For even greater political ads transparency, we have also built a tool that lets anyone see all of the ads a page is running. We’re testing this in Canada now and we’ll launch it globally this summer. We’re also creating a searchable archive of past political ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We will also require people who manage large pages to be verified as well. This will make it much harder for people to run pages using fake accounts, or to grow virally and spread misinformation or divisive content that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In order to require verification for all of these pages and advertisers, we will hire thousands of more people. We’re committed to getting this done in time for the critical months before the 2018 elections in the U.S. as well as elections in Mexico, Brazil, India, Pakistan and elsewhere in the next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• These steps by themselves won’t stop all people trying to game the system. But they will make it a lot harder for anyone to do what the Russians did during the 2016 election and use fake accounts and pages to run ads. Election interference is a problem that’s bigger than any one platform, and that’s why we support the Honest Ads Act. This will help raise the bar for all political advertising online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Sharing information. We’ve been working with other technology companies to share information about threats, and we’re also cooperating with the U.S. and foreign governments on election integrity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, it’s also important not to lose sight of the more straightforward and larger ways Facebook plays a role in elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, people had billions of interactions and open discussions on Facebook that may never have happened offline. Candidates had direct channels to communicate with tens of millions of citizens. Campaigns spent tens of millions of dollars organizing and advertising online to get their messages out further. And we organized “get out the vote” efforts that helped more than 2 million people register to vote who might not have voted otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Security — including around elections — isn’t a problem you ever fully solve. Organizations like the IRA are sophisticated adversaries who are constantly evolving, but we’ll keep improving our techniques to stay ahead. And we’ll also keep building tools to help more people make their voices heard in the democratic process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IV. CONCLUSION\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My top priority has always been our social mission of connecting people, building community and bringing the world closer together. Advertisers and developers will never take priority over that as long as I’m running Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started Facebook when I was in college. We’ve come a long way since then. We now serve more than 2 billion people around the world, and every day, people use our services to stay connected with the people that matter to them most. I believe deeply in what we’re doing. And when we address these challenges, I know we’ll look back and view helping people connect and giving more people a voice as a positive force in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I realize the issues we’re talking about today aren’t just issues for Facebook and our community — they’re challenges for all of us as Americans. Thank you for having me here today, and I’m ready to take your questions.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Before I talk about the steps we’re taking to address them, I want to talk about how we got here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook is an idealistic and optimistic company. For most of our existence, we focused on all the good that connecting people can bring. As Facebook has grown, people everywhere have gotten a powerful new tool to stay connected to the people they love, make their voices heard, and build communities and businesses. Just recently, we’ve seen the #metoo movement and the March for Our Lives, organized, at least in part, on Facebook. After Hurricane Harvey, people raised more than $20 million for relief. And more than 70 million small businesses now use Facebook to grow and create jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s clear now that we didn’t do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as well. That goes for fake news, foreign interference in elections, and hate speech, as well as developers and data privacy. We didn’t take a broad enough view of our responsibility, and that was a big mistake. It was my mistake, and I’m sorry. I started Facebook, I run it, and I’m responsible for what happens here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So now we have to go through every part of our relationship with people and make sure we’re taking a broad enough view of our responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\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>\n\u003cp>It will take some time to work through all of the changes we need to make, but I’m committed to getting it right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes improving the way we protect people’s information and safeguard elections around the world. Here are a few key things we’re doing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>II. CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working to understand exactly what happened with Cambridge Analytica and taking steps to make sure this doesn’t happen again. We took important actions to prevent this from happening again today four years ago, but we also made mistakes, there’s more to do, and we need to step up and do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A. What Happened\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2007, we launched the Facebook Platform with the vision that more apps should be social. Your calendar should be able to show your friends’ birthdays, your maps should show where your friends live, and your address book should show their pictures. To do this, we enabled people to log into apps and share who their friends were and some information about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, a Cambridge University researcher named Aleksandr Kogan created a personality quiz app. It was installed by around 300,000 people who agreed to share some of their Facebook information as well as some information from their friends whose privacy settings allowed it. Given the way our platform worked at the time this meant Kogan was able to access some information about tens of millions of their friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, to prevent abusive apps, we announced that we were changing the entire platform to dramatically limit the Facebook information apps could access. Most importantly, apps like Kogan’s could no longer ask for information about a person’s friends unless their friends had also authorized the app. We also required developers to get approval from Facebook before they could request any data beyond a user’s public profile, friend list, and email address. These actions would prevent any app like Kogan’s from being able to access as much Facebook data today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, we learned from journalists at The Guardian that Kogan had shared data from his app with Cambridge Analytica. It is against our policies for developers to share data without people’s consent, so we immediately banned Kogan’s app from our platform, and demanded that Kogan and other entities he gave the data to, including Cambridge Analytica, formally certify that they had deleted all improperly acquired data — which they ultimately did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, we learned from The Guardian, The New York Times and Channel 4 that Cambridge Analytica may not have deleted the data as they had certified. We immediately banned them from using any of our services. Cambridge Analytica claims they have already deleted the data and has agreed to a forensic audit by a firm we hired to investigate this. We’re also working with the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office, which has jurisdiction over Cambridge Analytica, as it completes its investigation into what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>B. What We Are Doing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a responsibility to make sure what happened with Kogan and Cambridge Analytica doesn’t happen again. Here are some of the steps we’re taking:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Safeguarding our platform. We need to make sure that developers like Kogan who got access to a lot of information in the past can’t get access to as much information going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We made some big changes to the Facebook platform in 2014 to dramatically restrict the amount of data that developers can access and to proactively review the apps on our platform. This makes it so a developer today can’t do what Kogan did years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• But there’s more we can do here to limit the information developers can access and put more safeguards in place to prevent abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We’re removing developers’ access to your data if you haven’t used their app in three months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We’re reducing the data you give an app when you approve it to only your name, profile photo, and email address. That’s a lot less than apps can get on any other major app platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We’re requiring developers to not only get approval but also to sign a contract that imposes strict requirements in order to ask anyone for access to their posts or other private data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We’re restricting more APIs like groups and events. You should be able to sign into apps and share your public information easily, but anything that might also share other people’s information — like other posts in groups you’re in or other people going to events you’re going to — will be much more restricted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Two weeks ago, we found out that a feature that lets you look someone up by their phone number and email was abused. This feature is useful in cases where people have the same name, but it was abused to link people’s public Facebook information to a phone number they already had. When we found out about the abuse, we shut this feature down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Investigating other apps. We’re in the process of investigating every app that had access to a large amount of information before we locked down our platform in 2014. If we detect suspicious activity, we’ll do a full forensic audit. And if we find that someone is improperly using data, we’ll ban them and tell everyone affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Building better controls. Finally, we’re making it easier to understand which apps you’ve allowed to access your data. This week we started showing everyone a list of the apps you’ve used and an easy way to revoke their permissions to your data. You can already do this in your privacy settings, but we’re going to put it at the top of News Feed to make sure everyone sees it. And we also told everyone whose Facebook information may have been shared with Cambridge Analytica.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the steps we had already taken in 2014, I believe these are the next steps we must take to continue to secure our platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>III. RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook’s mission is about giving people a voice and bringing people closer together. Those are deeply democratic values and we’re proud of them. I don’t want anyone to use our tools to undermine democracy. That’s not what we stand for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were too slow to spot and respond to Russian interference, and we’re working hard to get better. Our sophistication in handling these threats is growing and improving quickly. We will continue working with the government to understand the full extent of Russian interference, and we will do our part not only to ensure the integrity of free and fair elections around the world, but also to give everyone a voice and to be a force for good in democracy everywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A. What Happened\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elections have always been especially sensitive times for our security team, and the 2016 U.S. presidential election was no exception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our security team has been aware of traditional Russian cyber threats — like hacking and malware — for years. Leading up to Election Day in November 2016, we detected and dealt with several threats with ties to Russia. This included activity by a group called APT28, that the U.S. government has publicly linked to Russian military intelligence services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while our primary focus was on traditional threats, we also saw some new behavior in the summer of 2016 when APT28-related accounts, under the banner of DC Leaks, created fake personas that were used to seed stolen information to journalists. We shut these accounts down for violating our policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the election, we continued to investigate and learn more about these new threats. What we found was that bad actors had used coordinated networks of fake accounts to interfere in the election: promoting or attacking specific candidates and causes, creating distrust in political institutions, or simply spreading confusion. Some of these bad actors also used our ads tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also learned about a disinformation campaign run by the Internet Research Agency (IRA) — a Russian agency that has repeatedly acted deceptively and tried to manipulate people in the US, Europe, and Russia. We found about 470 accounts and pages linked to the IRA, which generated around 80,000 Facebook posts over about a two-year period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our best estimate is that approximately 126 million people may have been served content from a Facebook Page associated with the IRA at some point during that period. On Instagram, where our data on reach is not as complete, we found about 120,000 pieces of content, and estimate that an additional 20 million people were likely served it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the same period, the IRA also spent approximately $100,000 on more than 3,000 ads on Facebook and Instagram, which were seen by an estimated 11 million people in the United States. We shut down these IRA accounts in August 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>B. What We Are Doing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no question that we should have spotted Russian interference earlier, and we’re working hard to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Our actions include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Building new technology to prevent abuse. Since 2016, we have improved our techniques to prevent nation states from interfering in foreign elections, and we’ve built more advanced AI tools to remove fake accounts more generally. There have been a number of important elections since then where these new tools have been successfully deployed. For example:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In France, leading up to the presidential election in 2017, we found and took down 30,000 fake accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In Germany, before the 2017 elections, we worked directly with the election commission to learn from them about the threats they saw and to share information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In the U.S. Senate Alabama special election last year, we deployed new AI tools that proactively detected and removed fake accounts from Macedonia trying to spread misinformation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We have disabled thousands of accounts tied to organized, financially motivated fake news spammers. These investigations have been used to improve our automated systems that find fake accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Last week, we took down more than 270 additional pages and accounts operated by the IRA and used to target people in Russia and Russian speakers in countries like Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. Some of the pages we removed belong to Russian news organizations that we determined were controlled by the IRA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Significantly increasing our investment in security. We now have about 15,000 people working on security and content review. We’ll have more than 20,000 by the end of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• I’ve directed our teams to invest so much in security — on top of the other investments we’re making — that it will significantly impact our profitability going forward. But I want to be clear about what our priority is: protecting our community is more important than maximizing our profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Strengthening our advertising policies. We know some Members of Congress are exploring ways to increase transparency around political or issue advertising, and we’re happy to keep working with Congress on that. But we aren’t waiting for legislation to act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• From now on, every advertiser who wants to run political or issue ads will need to be authorized. To get authorized, advertisers will need to confirm their identity and location. Any advertiser who doesn’t pass will be prohibited from running political or issue ads. We will also label them and advertisers will have to show you who paid for them. We’re starting this in the U.S. and expanding to the rest of the world in the coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• For even greater political ads transparency, we have also built a tool that lets anyone see all of the ads a page is running. We’re testing this in Canada now and we’ll launch it globally this summer. We’re also creating a searchable archive of past political ads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• We will also require people who manage large pages to be verified as well. This will make it much harder for people to run pages using fake accounts, or to grow virally and spread misinformation or divisive content that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In order to require verification for all of these pages and advertisers, we will hire thousands of more people. We’re committed to getting this done in time for the critical months before the 2018 elections in the U.S. as well as elections in Mexico, Brazil, India, Pakistan and elsewhere in the next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• These steps by themselves won’t stop all people trying to game the system. But they will make it a lot harder for anyone to do what the Russians did during the 2016 election and use fake accounts and pages to run ads. Election interference is a problem that’s bigger than any one platform, and that’s why we support the Honest Ads Act. This will help raise the bar for all political advertising online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Sharing information. We’ve been working with other technology companies to share information about threats, and we’re also cooperating with the U.S. and foreign governments on election integrity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, it’s also important not to lose sight of the more straightforward and larger ways Facebook plays a role in elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, people had billions of interactions and open discussions on Facebook that may never have happened offline. Candidates had direct channels to communicate with tens of millions of citizens. Campaigns spent tens of millions of dollars organizing and advertising online to get their messages out further. And we organized “get out the vote” efforts that helped more than 2 million people register to vote who might not have voted otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Security — including around elections — isn’t a problem you ever fully solve. Organizations like the IRA are sophisticated adversaries who are constantly evolving, but we’ll keep improving our techniques to stay ahead. And we’ll also keep building tools to help more people make their voices heard in the democratic process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IV. CONCLUSION\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My top priority has always been our social mission of connecting people, building community and bringing the world closer together. Advertisers and developers will never take priority over that as long as I’m running Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started Facebook when I was in college. We’ve come a long way since then. We now serve more than 2 billion people around the world, and every day, people use our services to stay connected with the people that matter to them most. I believe deeply in what we’re doing. And when we address these challenges, I know we’ll look back and view helping people connect and giving more people a voice as a positive force in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>There are a lot of regrets coming out of Silicon Valley these days as the dark side of the tech revolution becomes increasingly apparent. From smartphone addiction to the big scandal involving the misuse of personal information from some \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/04/599542151/facebook-says-cambridge-analytica-data-grab-may-be-much-bigger-than-first-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">87 million\u003c/a> Facebook users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg expressed her regrets in an\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/05/599770568/facebooks-sheryl-sandberg-on-data-privacy-fail-we-were-way-too-idealistic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> interview last week\u003c/a> with NPR. “We know that we did not do enough to protect people’s data,” Sandberg said. “I’m really sorry for that. Mark [Zuckerberg] is really sorry for that, and what we’re doing now is taking really firm action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will have a chance to express his regrets when \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/04/599394175/facebooks-mark-zuckerberg-will-testify-in-congress-on-april-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he testifies\u003c/a> in front of Congress later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the remorse coming out of Silicon Valley isn’t just from high-profile leaders like Sandberg and Zuckerberg. Investors and people who worked to build some of the problematic technologies are also taking the blame; some are even turning their attention to fixing the problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Sandy Parakilas went to work for Facebook in 2011, he says, he deeply believed in its mission of bringing the world closer together and building community. At the time, the Arab Spring was in full bloom, and social media companies were getting credit for helping to launch a revolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was extremely excited about the power of social media to advance democracy all over the world,” Parakilas says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his optimism would be tempered by the reality of Facebook’s hunger for raw data about its users. He didn’t like the direction it was going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have a business model that is going to push them continuously down a road of deceiving people,” he says. “It’s a surveillance advertising business model.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parakilas says he tried to warn his managers at Facebook that they were at risk of putting private information into the wrong hands. But the company was growing fast and making money. Its leaders believed connecting people was inherently good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of its earliest investors believed in its mission, too. But now \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/03/20/595123564/facebook-is-losing-users-trust-tech-investor-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roger McNamee\u003c/a>, who helped mentor Zuckerberg, says he feels bad about what’s happened, “because at the end of the day these were my friends. I helped them be successful. I wanted them to be successful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of his penance, McNamee helped found the \u003ca href=\"http://humanetech.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Center for Humane Technology\u003c/a>. The center is trying to “realign technology with humanity’s best interests.” Parakilas has also joined the effort as an adviser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Facebook may be in the headlines now, there is plenty of regret going around Silicon Valley from people who were part of other companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guillaume Chaslot joined Google/YouTube in 2010. He, too, started as a true believer. “We could only make things better if people were more connected,” he says. “If everybody could say what he wanted to say, things would naturally get better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chaslot says he noticed the main goal at YouTube wasn’t to inform people; it was to keep people watching videos for as long as possible. “This goal has some very bad side effects and I started to notice the side effect as I worked at YouTube,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the side effects he noticed: People tended to get only one point of view on a topic — and not always the right one. For example, a search for “moon landing” might bring up \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCqgrcKYFx0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">videos from conspiracy theorists \u003c/a>arguing that NASA faked the whole event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaslot tried to create an algorithm that would show people different points of view. But, he says, his bosses weren’t interested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson from the company says it has updated its algorithms since Chaslot left. According to the company, it no longer just tries to keep people on the site for as long as possible; the goal is to measure through surveys how satisfied users are with the time they spend on the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaslot left in 2013. But, he continued to lose sleep over what was happening on YouTube. From the outside, he observed the site fill up with conspiracy theories and divisive content. He privately met with former colleagues and tried to warn them. But nothing began to change until after the presidential election, when news of Russian interference brought more attention to the kinds of videos on YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaslot now says he wishes he’d gone public sooner. “Now that’s what I’m doing but with a bit of a delay,” he says. He even started \u003ca href=\"https://algotransparency.org/?candidat=is%20the%20earth%20flat%20or%20round?&file=ytrecos-science-2018-02-01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a site\u003c/a> to track what kinds of videos surface when you search terms like “Is the Earth flat or round?” and “vaccine facts.” The results bring up plenty of factually incorrect conspiracies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, it may be easier for many techies to speak out now — investors have done well and employees were paid well for their work. Still, it’s probably good news that the very people who helped create the problem are now using their inside knowledge to fix it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

From smartphone addiction to the big scandal involving the misuse of personal information from some \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/04/599542151/facebook-says-cambridge-analytica-data-grab-may-be-much-bigger-than-first-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">87 million\u003c/a> Facebook users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg expressed her regrets in an\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/05/599770568/facebooks-sheryl-sandberg-on-data-privacy-fail-we-were-way-too-idealistic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> interview last week\u003c/a> with NPR. “We know that we did not do enough to protect people’s data,” Sandberg said. “I’m really sorry for that. Mark [Zuckerberg] is really sorry for that, and what we’re doing now is taking really firm action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will have a chance to express his regrets when \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/04/599394175/facebooks-mark-zuckerberg-will-testify-in-congress-on-april-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he testifies\u003c/a> in front of Congress later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the remorse coming out of Silicon Valley isn’t just from high-profile leaders like Sandberg and Zuckerberg. Investors and people who worked to build some of the problematic technologies are also taking the blame; some are even turning their attention to fixing the problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Sandy Parakilas went to work for Facebook in 2011, he says, he deeply believed in its mission of bringing the world closer together and building community. At the time, the Arab Spring was in full bloom, and social media companies were getting credit for helping to launch a revolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He didn’t like the direction it was going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have a business model that is going to push them continuously down a road of deceiving people,” he says. “It’s a surveillance advertising business model.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parakilas says he tried to warn his managers at Facebook that they were at risk of putting private information into the wrong hands. But the company was growing fast and making money. Its leaders believed connecting people was inherently good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of its earliest investors believed in its mission, too. But now \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/03/20/595123564/facebook-is-losing-users-trust-tech-investor-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roger McNamee\u003c/a>, who helped mentor Zuckerberg, says he feels bad about what’s happened, “because at the end of the day these were my friends. I helped them be successful. I wanted them to be successful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of his penance, McNamee helped found the \u003ca href=\"http://humanetech.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Center for Humane Technology\u003c/a>. The center is trying to “realign technology with humanity’s best interests.” Parakilas has also joined the effort as an adviser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Facebook may be in the headlines now, there is plenty of regret going around Silicon Valley from people who were part of other companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guillaume Chaslot joined Google/YouTube in 2010. He, too, started as a true believer. “We could only make things better if people were more connected,” he says. “If everybody could say what he wanted to say, things would naturally get better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chaslot says he noticed the main goal at YouTube wasn’t to inform people; it was to keep people watching videos for as long as possible. “This goal has some very bad side effects and I started to notice the side effect as I worked at YouTube,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the side effects he noticed: People tended to get only one point of view on a topic — and not always the right one. For example, a search for “moon landing” might bring up \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCqgrcKYFx0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">videos from conspiracy theorists \u003c/a>arguing that NASA faked the whole event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaslot tried to create an algorithm that would show people different points of view. But, he says, his bosses weren’t interested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson from the company says it has updated its algorithms since Chaslot left. According to the company, it no longer just tries to keep people on the site for as long as possible; the goal is to measure through surveys how satisfied users are with the time they spend on the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaslot left in 2013. But, he continued to lose sleep over what was happening on YouTube. From the outside, he observed the site fill up with conspiracy theories and divisive content. He privately met with former colleagues and tried to warn them. But nothing began to change until after the presidential election, when news of Russian interference brought more attention to the kinds of videos on YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaslot now says he wishes he’d gone public sooner. “Now that’s what I’m doing but with a bit of a delay,” he says. He even started \u003ca href=\"https://algotransparency.org/?candidat=is%20the%20earth%20flat%20or%20round?&file=ytrecos-science-2018-02-01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a site\u003c/a> to track what kinds of videos surface when you search terms like “Is the Earth flat or round?” and “vaccine facts.” The results bring up plenty of factually incorrect conspiracies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, it may be easier for many techies to speak out now — investors have done well and employees were paid well for their work. Still, it’s probably good news that the very people who helped create the problem are now using their inside knowledge to fix it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.
