Free speech should exist, but boundaries are needed when speech incites violence or discourages vaccinations. The question is where the US should draw those lines and what rules should be in place. With billions of online activities, AI could potentially encode and enforce these rules. A delayed response to harmful content means the harm is already done.

Speaker 0 describes Tim Ballard as having worked with Glenn Beck to build Underground Railroad, portraying Beck as Ballard’s close ally whenever Ballard needed to break a story on child trafficking. When Ballard considered running for Senate and would have likely won with momentum after the Sound of Freedom release, attacks began, and Glenn Beck reportedly “threw him under the bus.” Speaker 0 asserts that Beck pledged allegiance to Israel, is “bought and paid for,” and “Israel's bitch,” claiming Ballard watched a video and realized this. Speaker 1 adds a claim about theSound of Freedom narrative: the child trafficking ring Ballard busted in South America, depicted in the movie, was an Israeli-run sex trafficking ring, run by Israelis. The head of that ring allegedly escaped to Portugal where a judge let him go, and nobody knows where this guy ended up. The speakers state that this is the real story of Sound of Freedom and that “It was an Israeli run sex trafficking ring,” noting that this is not told to the audience and urging others to research it. Speaker 1 then transitions to commentary on Twitter, stating that Twitter is not a free speech platform and is not an open information highway; it is a military application, a propaganda operation, highly bodied, highly artificial, highly synthetic, and manipulated. They acknowledge using it daily but emphasize that not everything is as it seems on the platform. They caution that prominent accounts cannot be taken at face value because campaigns are run, the algorithm is manipulated, and there are bots and unauthentic accounts. The speakers urge awareness of the battlefield on which Twitter is engaged, and advise developing a wary eye toward content, encouraging audiences to examine profiles, retweets, boosts, follows, and networks to understand who is using the same messaging and why.

Misinformation is a problem now handed to the younger generation, as making information available didn't guarantee people wanting correct information. Online harassment, as experienced by the speaker's daughter and her friends, highlighted this issue. Context matters, as people seek correct information for medical advice but may prioritize shared views in their communities. The boundaries of free speech need to be defined, especially regarding inciting violence or discouraging vaccinations. Rules are needed, but with billions of online activities, AI might be necessary to enforce them, as delayed action can result in irreversible harm.

Speaker 0: When I first met Tim Ballard, he was in this wild legal fight, and Glenn Beck helped him build Underground Railroad. They were best friends. Whenever Sam or Tim needed to break a story about child trafficking, Glenn Beck was “his fucking dude.” Then Tim was considering running for Senate or Congress, and with the momentum from Sound of Freedom, he seemed like a shoo-in, and he was set to upset some politician. After those attacks began, Glenn Beck “threw him under the bus,” and Tim told me, “I can’t believe that Glenn would fucking do that to me.” That exact video I showed him—Tim’s friend pledging allegiance to Israel, “he’s bought and paid for,” “not your friend,” “controlled by our intelligence agencies,” “Israel’s bitch.” Tim watched that one video and said, “holy fuck.” Speaker 1: Ryan, you might know this—the child ring Tim Ballard busted up in South America, depicted in Sound of Freedom, was Israeli-run. It was run by Israelis. The head of that ring escaped to Portugal, where a judge basically let him go, and nobody knows where that guy ended up. That’s the real story of Sound of Freedom: an Israeli-run sex-trafficking ring. You’re not told that. Do research and find out about it. That’s who was running the ring. So there’s a lot of interconnection—it's always them, man. It always comes back to them. It seems to always come back to them. It’s like 6,000,000 to one odds. Speaker 0: Every single time. Every single time. It’s strange how that happens. But you wanna wrap it up, Sam? Speaker 1: Yeah. Let’s wrap it up. Listen, everybody. Twitter is not a free speech platform. It is not an open, super highway of information. It is a military application. It is a propaganda operation. It is highly bodied, highly artificial, highly synthetic and manipulated. I’m not saying don’t use it; I use it every day. We absolutely must use it as best we can, but I need everybody to be aware that not everything is as it seems on this platform. You cannot take this platform at face value. Many of the big accounts you see mainstream through your feed aren’t to be taken at face value. They’re running campaigns, being paid, boosted, the algorithm manipulated, with bots and unauthentic accounts. You must be aware of the battlefield you’re engaging on. And I’m not saying you should leave. On the contrary, I want you here, battling. But it’s not what it seems. There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors, shadows, espionage, and spy games on this platform, and you need to be savvy. Don’t develop mistrust of everybody, but develop a wary eye. Look at people’s Twitter profiles, scroll through their feeds, see who they’re retweeting, who they’re boosting, who they’re following, who their networks are, who’s using the same message.

Disinformation and hate speech have created a toxic environment, forcing the UN to act strategically in its communications. The UN aims to shape debate, educate, and deliver facts about global issues like human suffering, climate change, and war. However, UN content was being down-ranked on platforms, and the organization faced online attacks. Every Sustainable Development Goal is impacted by disinformation and hate speech. To combat this, the UN introduced global principles on information integrity, a blueprint for a healthy information ecosystem. These principles emphasize safety by design and transparency, aligning with calls to elevate information integrity.

This week, an initiative was launched with companies and nonprofits to improve research and understanding of how automated processes curate online experiences. This is important for understanding online mis- and disinformation, a challenge that leaders must address. While it's easy to dismiss disinformation, ignoring it poses a threat to valued norms. How can wars end if people believe their reasons are legal and noble? How can climate change be tackled if people don't believe it exists? How are human rights upheld when people are subject to hateful rhetoric? The goals of those who perpetuate disinformation are to cause chaos, reduce the ability to defend, disband communities, and collapse countries' collective strength. There is an opportunity to ensure these weapons of war do not become an established part of warfare. Despite facing many battles, there is cause for optimism because for every new weapon, there is a new tool to overcome it. We have the means; we just need the collective will.

The Joe Rogan Experience

Joe Rogan Experience #1263 - Renée DiResta
Guests: Renée DiResta
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Renée DiResta began her research into online misinformation in 2015, initially focusing on anti-vaccine activity in California. She observed how small groups could amplify messages on social media, both through legitimate means and coordinated efforts to manipulate algorithms. This led her to explore how terrorist organizations like ISIS used similar tactics to spread propaganda. By late 2015, as discussions about ISIS intensified, attention shifted to Russian interference in social media, particularly following Adrian Chen's exposé on the Internet Research Agency (IRA). DiResta explained that the consolidation of social media platforms made it easier for propagandists to target specific audiences. The IRA created fake accounts that mimicked real people, often referred to as "sock puppets," to influence American discourse. By 2016, during the presidential campaign, these accounts were actively engaging in divisive conversations, often amplifying existing tensions. The IRA's strategy involved building communities around various identities, such as LGBT or African American groups, to foster in-group dynamics and subtly influence opinions. They created pages that appeared authentic and relatable, often using humor and cultural references to engage users. This long-term strategy aimed to normalize certain narratives and create divisions within American society. DiResta noted that the IRA's operations were sophisticated, employing tactics akin to those of a marketing agency, but with a focus on manipulation and disinformation. They targeted specific demographics and tailored their content to resonate with those audiences, often using memes and culturally relevant language. The conversation also touched on the challenges of moderating content on social media platforms. DiResta highlighted the difficulty of balancing free speech with the need to combat harassment and misinformation. She emphasized that the algorithms used by these platforms often exacerbate polarization, as they prioritize sensational content that generates engagement. As technology evolves, including advancements in deepfakes and AI-generated content, DiResta expressed concern about the potential for misinformation to escalate into real-world consequences. She pointed out that the ease of creating convincing fake identities and narratives could lead to significant societal disruptions. In conclusion, DiResta underscored the importance of understanding the mechanisms behind online disinformation and the need for accountability from social media platforms. She advocated for a multi-stakeholder approach to address these challenges, recognizing that the landscape of online communication is rapidly changing and requires ongoing vigilance and adaptation.
