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.",

One refers to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton as \"Killary Clinton\" and another says \"racism won, ignorance won, sexual assault won\" in reference to President Trump's election victory. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others focused on social issues like LGBT rights and the treatment of Muslims in America. Ranking Democrat Adam Schiff made the point that regardless of who creates the content, foreign adversary or American user, the fact that the social media business model is based on exciting and inflammatory content is inherently a problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These algorithms, which are designed to attract our attention and keep our eyes focused on the platform for advertising purposes, may also have the unintended consequences of widening divisions among our society – polarizing people,\" Schiff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff pushed the companies on whether they had an interest in letting users know if they saw or were the target of Russia-backed content. The companies deflected and pointed to technical difficulties, based on the fact that their numbers are based on modelling and not counting specific instances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two hearings Wednesday came after a Tuesday session before a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/10/31/560481040/russian-interference-campaign-was-broader-than-first-known-big-tech-tells-hill\">Senate Judiciary subcommittee\u003c/a>, and Wednesday's were noticeably more heated. Multiple lawmakers wondered aloud why they were talking to \u003ca href=\"https://www.recode.net/2017/10/31/16562342/facebook-russia-congress-google-twitter-lawyers-ads\">the general counsels\u003c/a> for the companies, instead of the CEOs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have more than a little bit of frustration that many of us on this committee have been raising this issue since the beginning of this year and our claims were frankly blown off by the leaderships of your companies,\" said the ranking Democrat on the committee, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va. \"Candidly, your companies know more about Americans than the United States government does and the idea that you had no idea that any of this was happening strains my credibility.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Watch the Senate Intel Hearing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"338\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=560481387&mediaId=560483469\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Big Tech lawyers said they were sympathetic, but would not completely commit on the record to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/10/19/558847414/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-honest-ads-act\">supporting legislation\u003c/a> that would regulate transparency for political ads on their platforms. They did say they agreed that more transparency is needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New numbers about the scope of Russian interference were also revealed: about 20 million Americans may have seen content pushed by Russian operatives on Instagram leading up to the 2016 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was according to Facebook General Counsel Colin Stretch, who revealed earlier in the week that an additional 126 million users may have seen the Russia-promoted content on Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The intelligence committees in both the House and Senate are among the congressional panels investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election cycle and possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

For a group of engineers focused on data and algorithms, it's like the modern version of Frankenstein: they've created a monster whose powers they're just beginning to understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do it, the company will need to shift the focus of its metrics. People who've work at Facebook say that from Day 1, Zuckerberg has been fixated on measuring engagement: how much you like, click, share, up to what second you watch a video. In product meetings, current and former employees say, any suggestion to tweak News Feed — Facebook's signature product — must include a deep analysis of how that would increase or decrease engagement. This dogged focus on metrics is also apparent from the company's own blog posts and research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"PaRFKj98HL1tfhhew3rQb40kFXILH4PN\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's the negative engagement — Russian operatives, trolls, hate groups — that the CEO and his leadership team has been far slower to register. Now the company is scrambling to figure out how to monitor and quantify the bad. It's hiring more than 4,000 new employees to weed out fake accounts and violators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One problem: A key data source the company has been relying on — users to report bad content — is chronically unreliable, according to people at Facebook who've had to analyze it. Users flag a lot of things that they shouldn't. For instance, they can report a post as fake news because they disagree with it; others can say a business page is offensive when actually it's just a competitor they want to take down. Facebook's leaders have publicly said they stand behind this crowdsourcing approach. But, inside the company, people know this system just doesn't work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Facebook employee tells NPR that recently, engineers in-house began to do random sampling of News Feed — to proactively look for violations (not just wait for users to flag content). \"We're trying,\" the employee says. \"But you can't look for new bad behavior. It's a hopeless exercise.\" Meaning, you can only find violations that you know to look for. Prior to 2016, political interference in elections wasn't even a category on the radar of the engineers leading these efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"hGsfQLI0vOF5woiOWyPUEockMPNwm2vN\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's political pressure to clean up. This week the House and Senate are holding three hearings on election interference by the Russians, calling on Facebook, Twitter and Google representatives to testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also a notable shift in the zeitgeist of Silicon Valley. In a \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/video/technology/culture/2017/09/14/ev-williams-misinformation-internet-facebook-ads-russia-twitter-bots.cnnmoney/index.html\">recent interview\u003c/a> with CNN, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams said \"Facebook is filled with crap ads\"; and that all the ad-driven platforms (Twitter included) are benefiting from fake information, \"generating attention at pretty much any cost. That's the most broken thing about the information economy we live in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside Facebook, there's a deep conflict. On the one hand, employees who've spoken with NPR feel terribly that Facebook is a space for Russian operatives, hate speech and extremists. Engineers and product managers are racing to fix it, working overtime, reading history books on Russian propaganda techniques — just to try to wrap their minds around how the past is repeating itself, through new technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, they're indignant, believing they've created a beautiful, seamless technology that does more good than harm, and that Facebook engineers aren't responsible for human nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's clear is that Facebook is trying to understand its own platform's ability to cause harm. What's unclear is: Can Facebook stop it? \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

For instance, they can report a post as fake news because they disagree with it; others can say a business page is offensive when actually it's just a competitor they want to take down. Facebook's leaders have publicly said they stand behind this crowdsourcing approach. But, inside the company, people know this system just doesn't work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Facebook employee tells NPR that recently, engineers in-house began to do random sampling of News Feed — to proactively look for violations (not just wait for users to flag content). \"We're trying,\" the employee says. \"But you can't look for new bad behavior. It's a hopeless exercise.\" Meaning, you can only find violations that you know to look for. Prior to 2016, political interference in elections wasn't even a category on the radar of the engineers leading these efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's political pressure to clean up. This week the House and Senate are holding three hearings on election interference by the Russians, calling on Facebook, Twitter and Google representatives to testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also a notable shift in the zeitgeist of Silicon Valley. In a \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/video/technology/culture/2017/09/14/ev-williams-misinformation-internet-facebook-ads-russia-twitter-bots.cnnmoney/index.html\">recent interview\u003c/a> with CNN, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams said \"Facebook is filled with crap ads\"; and that all the ad-driven platforms (Twitter included) are benefiting from fake information, \"generating attention at pretty much any cost. That's the most broken thing about the information economy we live in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside Facebook, there's a deep conflict. On the one hand, employees who've spoken with NPR feel terribly that Facebook is a space for Russian operatives, hate speech and extremists. Engineers and product managers are racing to fix it, working overtime, reading history books on Russian propaganda techniques — just to try to wrap their minds around how the past is repeating itself, through new technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, they're indignant, believing they've created a beautiful, seamless technology that does more good than harm, and that Facebook engineers aren't responsible for human nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"title": "Facebook, Google Spread Misinformation About Las Vegas Shooting. What Went Wrong?",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>In the hours just after the massacre in Las Vegas, some fake news started showing up on Google and Facebook. A man was falsely accused of being the shooter. His name bubbled up on Facebook emergency sites and when you searched his name on Google, links of sites connecting him with the shooting topped the first page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It appears to be another case of automation working so fast that humans can't keep pace. Unfortunately, these powerful tech companies continue to be a main destination for news and it's not clear how they can solve the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this particular case, the man's name first appeared on a message board on a site called 4chan. It's known as a gathering spot for underground hackers and the \"alt-right.\" Everyone who posts is anonymous. And we're not publishing the man's name because he's been through enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the shooting, police announced that a woman named Marilou Danley was a person of interest. She had been living with the shooter in his Nevada home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a message board called /Pol/- Politically Incorrect, someone said her ex-husband was the shooter. His Facebook page indicated he was a liberal, and the far-right trolls on Pol went to work to spread the word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after police identified the shooter, the wrong man's name appeared for hours in tweets. On Facebook, it appeared on an official \u003ca href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/40475749/facebooks-safety-check-page-for-the-las-vegas-shooting-promotes-alt-right-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"safety check\" page\u003c/a> for the Las Vegas shooting, which displayed a post from a site called Alt-Right News. And on Google, top searches linked to sites that said he was the shooter. When you searched his name, a 4chan thread about him was promoted as a top story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, why did parts of these hugely powerful companies continue to point to an innocent man?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Hartzer, an expert on search, says Google is constantly crawling the web and picking up new information as it appears. The innocent man went from hardly having anything online to have a whole bunch of stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Google has not had the time to really vet the search results yet,\" Hartzer says. \"So what they'll do is they will show what they know about this particular name or this particular keyword.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Google said the results should not have appeared, but the company will \"continue to make algorithmic improvements to prevent this from happening in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One improvement that Greg Sterling thinks Google should make is putting less weight on certain websites, like 4chan. \"In this particular context had they weighted sites that were deemed credible more heavily you might not have seen that,\" says Sterling, a contributing editor at Search Engine Land. On the other hand, he says \"if news sites ... were given some sort of preference in this context, you might not have seen that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, it seemed like Facebook was giving those same sites credibility. In a statement, Facebook said it was working on a way to fix the issue that caused the fake news to appear. (Disclosure: Facebook pays NPR and other leading news organizations to produce live video streams that run on the site.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sterling says part of the issue with having these companies determine what's news is that they're run by engineers. \"For the most part the engineers and the people who are running Google search don't think like journalists,\" he says. \"They think like engineers running a product that's very important.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there is the scale of what Google and Facebook do.

A man was falsely accused of being the shooter. His name bubbled up on Facebook emergency sites and when you searched his name on Google, links of sites connecting him with the shooting topped the first page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It appears to be another case of automation working so fast that humans can't keep pace. Unfortunately, these powerful tech companies continue to be a main destination for news and it's not clear how they can solve the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this particular case, the man's name first appeared on a message board on a site called 4chan. It's known as a gathering spot for underground hackers and the \"alt-right.\" Everyone who posts is anonymous. And we're not publishing the man's name because he's been through enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the shooting, police announced that a woman named Marilou Danley was a person of interest. She had been living with the shooter in his Nevada home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a message board called /Pol/- Politically Incorrect, someone said her ex-husband was the shooter. His Facebook page indicated he was a liberal, and the far-right trolls on Pol went to work to spread the word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Facebook, it appeared on an official \u003ca href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/40475749/facebooks-safety-check-page-for-the-las-vegas-shooting-promotes-alt-right-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"safety check\" page\u003c/a> for the Las Vegas shooting, which displayed a post from a site called Alt-Right News. And on Google, top searches linked to sites that said he was the shooter. When you searched his name, a 4chan thread about him was promoted as a top story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, why did parts of these hugely powerful companies continue to point to an innocent man?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Hartzer, an expert on search, says Google is constantly crawling the web and picking up new information as it appears. The innocent man went from hardly having anything online to have a whole bunch of stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Google has not had the time to really vet the search results yet,\" Hartzer says. \"So what they'll do is they will show what they know about this particular name or this particular keyword.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Google said the results should not have appeared, but the company will \"continue to make algorithmic improvements to prevent this from happening in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One improvement that Greg Sterling thinks Google should make is putting less weight on certain websites, like 4chan. \"In this particular context had they weighted sites that were deemed credible more heavily you might not have seen that,\" says Sterling, a contributing editor at Search Engine Land. On the other hand, he says \"if news sites ... were given some sort of preference in this context, you might not have seen that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, it seemed like Facebook was giving those same sites credibility. In a statement, Facebook said it was working on a way to fix the issue that caused the fake news to appear. (Disclosure: Facebook pays NPR and other leading news organizations to produce live video streams that run on the site.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sterling says part of the issue with having these companies determine what's news is that they're run by engineers. \"For the most part the engineers and the people who are running Google search don't think like journalists,\" he says. \"They think like engineers running a product that's very important.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there is the scale of what Google and Facebook do. They are huge. And that's only possible because computers do a lot of the work. Yochai Benkler, a law professor at Harvard, says that with such massive scale, even if there were humans helping out there would be mistakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benkler says that even if Facebook and Google blocked sites like 4chan, it wouldn't solve the problem. \"Tomorrow in another situation like this someone will find some other workaround,\" Benkler says. \"It's not realistic to imagine perfect filtering in real time in moments of such crisis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, for the man who spent hours being accused of mass murder, the technical problems at Google and Facebook probably aren't much comfort.
