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.

We focus on collecting data from surveillance and monitoring social media platforms to counter negativity and hate speech. Our media analysis unit has increased monitoring to catch incitement to violence and direct threats. Our goal is to ensure the safety and sense of safety for New Yorkers.

Twitter firings have left us without a way to flag abusive or violent content. Disinformation can now be promoted by anyone with a blue tick. However, we are working with platforms to promote reliable information on COVID and climate change. We have a strong group of messengers who share UN content with their followers and educate users on combating disinformation. Our new slogan is "pause, take care before you share." We are establishing a central capacity at the UN to monitor and react to mis and disinformation and hate speech. We will also develop a UN code of conduct for digital platforms to set global standards for information integrity and create a more humane Internet.

We are enhancing disinformation research and tracking in the Surgeon General's office. Additionally, we are flagging problematic posts on Facebook for review.

The foundation of democracy is vital, especially regarding freedom of speech. A recent policy titled "freedom of speech, not freedom of reach" emphasizes that while free speech is essential, platforms like Twitter can choose whom to amplify. It's important to limit the reach of extremist views without censoring speech entirely. Social media companies should follow the same business rules as other publishers. Providing a platform for hate groups and harmful individuals is unacceptable. The ADL has been actively monitoring and collaborating with major tech companies since 2017 to address these issues, ensuring that platforms are held accountable for the content they promote.

Twitter's push for truthfulness is evident through its community notes feature. This feature aims to ensure accuracy and prevent biases. It encourages users to think carefully about their statements, as they can be community noted on Twitter. The impact of community notes is powerful, as it promotes honesty and discourages deception.

The ADL works with various companies in Silicon Valley, including Apple, Zoom, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Twitter, to address the issue of hate speech on their platforms. They have expressed concern about Twitter allowing toxic content to persist, which has led to real-world violence in places like Pittsburgh, Poway, El Paso, and Washington, D.C. The ADL urges companies to use their innovation to combat hate speech. They have observed that anti-Semitic speech remains on the platform for longer periods, and toxic content is not being removed as quickly as before. The ADL emphasizes the importance of all users, including journalists and watchdog organizations, working together to make Twitter a safe space, as freedom of speech should not be used to slander or incite violence.

A new technology has been developed to address the issue of extremists having podcasts. This software scans the entire podcast for flagged words and extracts the parts where they discuss extremist topics. This is useful because most of what these extremists talk about is unrelated to their extremist views, such as video games. By using this software, the time-consuming task of listening to the entire podcast is eliminated, making it easier to identify and address extremist content.

Many people overlook their options in dealing with misinformation on social media. Early detection is key to tracking and countering harmful narratives. Legal action can be taken against profit-driven disinformation networks. Fact-checking alone may not change beliefs, so building counter narratives is crucial. Our organization helps detect, assess, and mitigate the impact of misinformation to prevent future issues. The recent events at the US Capitol highlight the real-world consequences of online disinformation. Translation: It is important to detect and counter harmful narratives early to prevent misinformation from causing real-world harm. Legal action can be taken against profit-driven disinformation networks, and building counter narratives is essential. Our organization helps organizations address the impact of misinformation to prevent future issues. The recent events at the US Capitol show the consequences of online misinformation.

Over the past decade, anti-Semitism has shifted online, making it easier to generate and spread hateful content. To address this, the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs developed a system that monitors anti-Semitism on the entire internet, focusing on Facebook and Twitter. Using artificial intelligence, the system identifies around 10,000 anti-Semitic posts daily out of 200,000 suspect posts. By making this information public, it aims to shame individuals and deter anti-Semitism. Additionally, a command center in Tel Aviv analyzes the data and takes action, such as notifying law enforcement or city officials about specific instances. The speaker urges Facebook and Twitter to take responsibility and not allow anti-Semitism under the guise of freedom of speech.

- "ADL and the University of California at Berkeley's D Lab have been working to develop a new approach to tackle online hate using the latest methods." - "The goal of the online hate index is to help tech platforms better understand the growing amount of hate on social media and to use that information to address the problem." - "By combining artificial intelligence and machine learning with social science, the online hate index will ultimately uncover and identify trends and patterns in hate speech across different platforms." - "We've just completed our first phase of research and we found that the machine learning model identified hate speech accurately between seventy eight and eighty five percent of the time." - "We'll examine content on multiple social media sites and we'll identify strategies to deploy the model more broadly."

One strategy is shadowbanning, where a user is effectively banned without their knowledge. They can still post and interact, but no one else sees their content, leading them to believe there's a lack of engagement. While this gives control, it's risky because users may eventually discover the ban, resulting in negative backlash and ethical concerns. People have historically reacted strongly against shadowbanning, viewing it as a terrible practice. It's a controversial tactic that some platforms, like Reddit, have used, though it's unclear if Twitter still employs it.

The speaker discusses a use case involving a government agency and a network analysis tool. They explain how the tool can identify coordinated attacks and misinformation by analyzing events, such as the sharing of an image on social media. The tool can build a network of accounts involved in spreading the information and identify patterns. In this case, the tool discovered a network spreading Russian propaganda and misinformation about the Nord Stream pipeline. The speaker demonstrates how the tool can counteract the narrative by generating tweets in Arabic that provide a different perspective. They also mention the potential for the tool to create knowledge across different networks and incorporate multimodal content like images and videos.

We have developed brand safety and content moderation tools after acquisitions. Our new policy, "freedom of speech, not reach," addresses hate speech. Illegal or against the law content results in zero tolerance and removal. However, if something lawful but awful is posted, it gets labeled, de-amplified, and demonetized. This ensures brand safety by avoiding association with such content. It's worth noting that when a post is labeled and cannot be shared, users themselves take it down 30% of the time.

Twitter's new CEO, Linda Yakinaro, has a history of censorship and promoting mask-wearing. Elon Musk hired her for her advertising background to help Twitter become profitable through ads and subscriptions. Twitter is struggling financially and needs revenue sources like video content and ads. However, Twitter is also increasing censorship, labeling and reducing the reach of "violative" content by 81%. Many accounts are being banned or restricted, and Twitter is partnering with Sprinklr to measure and reduce hate speech. Elon Musk has expressed concern about the lack of absolute free speech on platforms like Rumble. Overall, Twitter's focus on ad-friendliness and censorship is not aligned with being a free speech platform.

I used to be on Twitter, but it has become toxic and not worth my time. I'm trying to find an alternative to it. Social media needs a code of conduct to address issues like spreading false news and racism. The power of social media platforms should be reflected upon by society. The policy of the owner of X is also problematic. This is a problem that future society needs to address, focusing on ethics in social media.

Experiment to see what people want! I believe it's less about free speech and more about choosing how algorithms program us, because they definitely are. It's hard to predict what algorithms will do, and that's risky. But, imagine an algorithm store instead of an app store, where I choose algorithms to filter my content. This gives me more control and creates a healthier relationship with technology. This applies beyond Twitter, to YouTube and financial tech too. Algorithms know our preferences better than we do, and this will only increase. We need to increase individual agency by choosing different algorithms, turning them off, or even creating our own.

We focus on collecting data from surveillance and monitoring social media platforms. Our goal is to counter negativity and reach out to people when we see hate speech online. Our media analysis unit has increased monitoring to catch incitement to violence and direct threats. We are committed to ensuring the safety and sense of safety for New Yorkers.
