"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>Robert Bowers, the man accused of killing 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday, posted about his hatred of Jews on the social network \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://gab.ai\">Gab\u003c/a> \u003c/span>for months beforehand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gab was founded two years ago by a San Mateo-based Trump supporter named Andrew Torba. It’s a lot like Twitter, but without what Torba would call “censorship” of ideas unpopular with people on the political left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The platform \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702162/gab-site-where-synagogue-shooting-suspect-posted-is-suspended\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">is now offline\u003c/span>\u003c/a> and looking for a new hosting provider. But whatever happens to the site, there’s a market for platforms like Gab, a haven for alt-right enthusiasts. That troubles Brian Levin, who directs the \u003ca href=\"https://csbs.csusb.edu/hate-and-extremism-center\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism\u003c/span>\u003c/a> at California State University, San Bernardino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What are the costs of segregating bigots into their own ecosystem, creating virtual universities for hate that aren’t on the more well-known mainstream social media platforms?” Levin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gab reportedly has nearly 700,000 users — that’s tiny compared to the billions that Facebook, YouTube and others collectively boast. But hate speech watchers say many people with extreme views want to be on “mainstream” platforms because of the huge audiences they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Scrubbing Away Hate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley is spending millions to scrub hate speech from social media, but it’s a complicated and controversial task.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg on down, tech leaders all boast of the promise of artificial intelligence and machine learning. But hate speech posters prove time and again they can easily game even the most sophisticated AI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keyword flagging algorithms often miss simple hacks, like inserting a “$” for an “S.” Sure enough, tech giants have hired tens of thousands of human screeners to help flag hate speech, because humans are still much better at picking up on the subtleties of cultural context. They can decipher the dollar sign strategy, and much more insidious, buried code language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take “Shrinky Dinks,” a toy that became popular in the 1980s. You cut figures out of polystyrene sheets and bake them in an oven where they shrink to form little charms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frak7UgnmpM]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people online use “Shrinky Dinks” today to refer to Jews, because the Nazis shoved Jews into ovens during the Holocaust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is something that probably wouldn’t be caught by a machine learning-based algorithm because it’s the name of a 1980s toy, and not commonly associated with hate speech, unless you know the target,” explains Brittan Heller, director of technology and society at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.adl.org\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anti-Defamation League\u003c/span>\u003c/a> (ADL), a group established to fight anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heller is ADL’s point person for Silicon Valley and consults with Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook and Google about defining and combating hate speech.

It’s a lot like Twitter, but without what Torba would call “censorship” of ideas unpopular with people on the political left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The platform \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702162/gab-site-where-synagogue-shooting-suspect-posted-is-suspended\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">is now offline\u003c/span>\u003c/a> and looking for a new hosting provider. But whatever happens to the site, there’s a market for platforms like Gab, a haven for alt-right enthusiasts. That troubles Brian Levin, who directs the \u003ca href=\"https://csbs.csusb.edu/hate-and-extremism-center\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism\u003c/span>\u003c/a> at California State University, San Bernardino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What are the costs of segregating bigots into their own ecosystem, creating virtual universities for hate that aren’t on the more well-known mainstream social media platforms?” Levin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gab reportedly has nearly 700,000 users — that’s tiny compared to the billions that Facebook, YouTube and others collectively boast. But hate speech watchers say many people with extreme views want to be on “mainstream” platforms because of the huge audiences they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Scrubbing Away Hate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley is spending millions to scrub hate speech from social media, but it’s a complicated and controversial task.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg on down, tech leaders all boast of the promise of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

They can decipher the dollar sign strategy, and much more insidious, buried code language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take “Shrinky Dinks,” a toy that became popular in the 1980s.

He wanted to see how popular the group was on Facebook, so he did a search, and immediately, a page came up that wasn’t the organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The page, which Goldsmith says was run out of Bulgaria, was not only trying to get veterans to donate money and buy T-shirts, but also spreading false news. For example, there was a fake story about the defacing of an African-American veteran’s tombstone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over just four hours while it was up, hundreds of thousands of Americans were exposed to what really was a foreign propaganda video,” said Goldsmith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he combed through Facebook, he discovered nearly 100 more suspicious pages pretending to be veterans groups, and those pages, had millions of followers. Goldsmith says he tried to report the pages through Facebook’s web portal, but it wasn’t until \u003ca href=\"https://www.mccaskill.senate.gov\">Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill\u003c/a> got involved that Facebook started taking the pages down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to this story, Facebook tells us it’s “Threat Intelligence” team is continuing to rid the platform of these kinds of pages. Goldsmith commends the work Facebook is doing to take down these pages. But he believes it’s not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is something where the VA and the Department of Defense need to come together and come up with a holistic solution,” says Goldsmith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in a time that is changing and it can’t just be about caring for the physical and mental health care for veterans. The well-being of veterans is being compromised by foreign trolls who are seeking to destroy us, to tear us apart, to break us apart. The veterans community is a byproduct of their goal of sowing division in the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldsmith and the Vietnam Veterans of America now want the U.S. Department of Defense to do a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/notes/vietnam-veterans-of-america/vva-calls-on-government-to-investigate-foreign-elements-targeting-troopsvets-onl/2444078478965855/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full investigation. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DOD has not responded to KQED’s request for comment on the VVA’s request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t just blame this on a couple of evil corporations. I want them to understand that this is a societal issue. The whole point of these trolls is to draw us away from one another.

"content": "\u003cp>Facebook \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/09/security-update/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">disclosed Friday a widespread security flaw\u003c/a> that allowed hackers to access user accounts. The breach has impacted around 50 million people. As a security measure, Facebook says about 90 million users have been required to log back into their accounts which effectively “resets” their digital key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This a serious issue, and we’re very focused on addressing it and it’s why we’ve patched the vulnerability,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during a conference call with reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engineers discovered the attack on Tuesday. According to Zuckerberg, the hackers found a vulnerability in the code of what’s called the “View As” feature, which is a privacy function that allows users to see what their Facebook profile looks like to another person. This breach allowed the hackers to access a digital key, which the hackers could have used to take over users accounts. The “View As” feature has temporarily been shut off while Facebook conducts a security review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guy Rosen, Facebook’s vice president of product management, said during the conference call that it is not clear who might have been behind the attack. Rosen says the company is still assessing the scope of the attack and is in the beginning stages of its investigation. Rosen says they’ve called on the help of the FBI and in light of General Data Protection Regulation laws, notified the Irish Data Commission of the breach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The timing is bad, it’s really the worst time for Facebook,” cybersecurity expert and San Jose State University professor Ahmed Banafa said. “They’re under the microscope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the FBI joined the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to investigate how the political analytics firm Cambridge Analytica, purchased data on 87 million users of Facebook without their consent. There is also mounting pressure from politicians to regulate companies like Facebook. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banafa says Facebook's transparency about this breach is a good sign, but it can only go so far, and privacy is what users want. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Privacy gives me the assurance that my data will not be used without my permission because of your fault or somebody else's,” Banafa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News of this security breach came hours after Taiwanese hacker Chang Chi-yuan pledged to delete Zuckerberg’s personal page on Sunday as a way to demonstrate Facebook security flaws. Rosen says Facebook is aware of the threat, but they have no indication it is related to the latest security breach.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The breach has impacted around 50 million people. As a security measure, Facebook says about 90 million users have been required to log back into their accounts which effectively “resets” their digital key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This a serious issue, and we’re very focused on addressing it and it’s why we’ve patched the vulnerability,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during a conference call with reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engineers discovered the attack on Tuesday. According to Zuckerberg, the hackers found a vulnerability in the code of what’s called the “View As” feature, which is a privacy function that allows users to see what their Facebook profile looks like to another person. This breach allowed the hackers to access a digital key, which the hackers could have used to take over users accounts. The “View As” feature has temporarily been shut off while Facebook conducts a security review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guy Rosen, Facebook’s vice president of product management, said during the conference call that it is not clear who might have been behind the attack. Rosen says the company is still assessing the scope of the attack and is in the beginning stages of its investigation. Rosen says they’ve called on the help of the FBI and in light of General Data Protection Regulation laws, notified the Irish Data Commission of the breach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The timing is bad, it’s really the worst time for Facebook,” cybersecurity expert and San Jose State University professor Ahmed Banafa said. “They’re under the microscope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In fact, from a simple business perspective and to serve the public conversation, Twitter is incentivized to keep all voices on the platform.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The matter of free speech on social media is complex. As private companies, tech giants already decide what type of behavior they will or will not tolerate on their own platforms.

Jones faced similar bans last month from Google's YouTube, Facebook, Apple and Spotify. Jones, who is known for peddling sensational falsehoods about the Sandy Hook shooting and other tragedies, has accused tech companies of censorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision-making about the right balance of speech on social media becomes ever trickier if federal officials and elected politicians such as state attorneys general begin to weigh in.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey wrote in his \u003ca href=\"https://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF00/20180905/108642/HHRG-115-IF00-Wstate-DorseyJ-20180905.pdf\">prepared congressional testimony\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Twitter does not use political ideology to make any decisions, whether related to ranking content on our service or how we enforce our rules. We believe strongly in being impartial, and we strive to enforce our rules impartially. We do not shadowban anyone based on political ideology. In fact, from a simple business perspective and to serve the public conversation, Twitter is incentivized to keep all voices on the platform.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The matter of free speech on social media is complex. As private companies, tech giants already decide what type of behavior they will or will not tolerate on their own platforms. For example, they regularly remove offensive or hateful posts, even though there are no laws on this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Twitter \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/06/645352618/twitter-bans-alex-jones-and-infowars-cites-abusive-behavior\">permanently shut down\u003c/a> accounts of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his outlet InfoWars, citing violations of its policy on abusive behavior. Jones faced similar bans last month from Google's YouTube, Facebook, Apple and Spotify. Jones, who is known for peddling sensational falsehoods about the Sandy Hook shooting and other tragedies, has accused tech companies of censorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision-making about the right balance of speech on social media becomes ever trickier if federal officials and elected politicians such as state attorneys general begin to weigh in. And the DOJ's move is making at least one conservative advocacy group uncomfortable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars' editor at large, wrote, \"Spotify has now completely banned Infowars too. Apple, Facebook, Spotify all within 12 hours of each other. This isn't enforcement of [terms of service], it's coordinated big tech censorship. This is real election meddling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones is currently facing five separate defamation suits.

(YouTube also took down the four videos and \u003ca href=\"https://variety.com/2018/digital/news/youtube-deletes-alex-jones-infowars-videos-1202886565/\">banned\u003c/a> Infowars from live streaming for 90 days.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since then,\" Facebook said in its Monday statement, \"more content from the same pages has been reported to us — upon review, we have taken it down for glorifying violence, which violates our graphic violence policy, and using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants, which violates our hate speech policies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/08/enforcing-our-community-standards/\">Facebook says\u003c/a> the pushing of \"fake news\" had nothing to do with Jones' removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not long after Facebook's move, YouTube said that it, too, had taken action.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11683962/facebook-says-it-removed-pages-involved-in-deceptive-political-influence-campaign\">Facebook Says It Removed Pages Involved in Deceptive Political Influence Campaign\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11683962/facebook-says-it-removed-pages-involved-in-deceptive-political-influence-campaign\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17286700318855_custom-667b9940620bd0b8f81f3a910097597c039da882-1180x786.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Jones apparently also fell afoul of the outlet because despite a July 24 ban against him — for child endangerment and hate speech — Jones' channel tried to send viewers to live video streams on other YouTube channels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When users violate these policies repeatedly, like our policies against hate speech and harassment or our terms prohibiting circumvention of our enforcement measures, we terminate their accounts,\" a YouTube spokesperson told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last Thursday, Spotify said it had removed \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/08/02/634998447/spotify-pulls-some-alex-jones-podcast-episodes\">some\u003c/a> episodes of \u003cem>The Alex Jones Show\u003c/em> but did not specify which ones, or how many in total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In announcing Monday's total ban, a Spotify spokesperson said in a statement to NPR, \"We take reports of hate content seriously and review any podcast episode or song that is flagged by our community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bans and deletions come as big tech companies have faced intense scrutiny and criticism over their role in the spread of bogus news stories and the incitement of hatred — and their potential use as tools to manipulate voters and public opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday marks exactly three months before the Nov. 6 midterm elections, timing that had Jones and Infowars crying foul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mega Purge!\" RealNews tweeted on Monday morning. Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars' editor at large, wrote, \"Spotify has now completely banned Infowars too. Apple, Facebook, Spotify all within 12 hours of each other. This isn't enforcement of [terms of service], it's coordinated big tech censorship. This is real election meddling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones is currently facing five separate defamation suits. He has been accused of knowingly spreading false information about the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting this year, the violence in Charlottesville, Va., last year and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. \u003ca href=\"http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2018/08/02/hearings-conspiracy-theorist-alex-jones\">Three\u003c/a> of the defamation cases have been filed by families of Sandy Hook victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the tech companies recently started pushing back on Infowars, Jones, a syndicated radio host, released a video in which he encouraged his audience to go directly to his website and sign up for its newsletter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So there's no way the censors can get between us,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Jones stated that \"America has been sold out\" and the Infowars Twitter feed declared that the moves against his company were \"communist style censorship.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones also urged people to go to his online store and buy a T-shirt, with slogans that back his site and President Trump's re-election campaign. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.
