>> WELCOME BACK TO CHEDDAR
NEWS, EVERYONE WHILE FACEBOOK
IS FEELING THE HEAT
WHISTLEBLOWER FRANCES.
>> HOW JIM TESTIFYING ON
CAPITOL HILL TODAY AND SHE HAD
PLENTY TO SAY ABOUT THE SOCIAL
MEDIA GIANT HOW'D YOU MAKING IT
PARTICULARLY POIGNANT REMARK
ABOUT THE COMPANY WHEN IT COMES
TO SECRECY. TAKE A LISTEN.
>> DURING MY
TIME AT FACEBOOK I CAME TO
REALIZE THAT DEVASTATING TRUTH.
ALMOST NO ONE OUTSIDE OF
FACEBOOK KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS
INSIDE OF FACEBOOK.
THE COMPANY INTENTIONALLY HIDES
FINAL INFORMATION FROM THE
PUBLIC FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
AND FROM GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE
WORLD.
>> ALL RIGHT WELL JOINING ME
NOW IS KEN WITH YES KEYES
FOUNDER AND CEO OF IMAX
DOT COM I CAN THANKS SO MUCH
FOR JOINING A IF YOU'VE BEEN
LISTENING TO THE HEARING TODAY,
WHAT ARE YOUR TAKE A WAYS.
>> SO I THINK THAT ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT REALLY STRUCK ME AS
SOMETHING THAT I THINK WAS
IMPORTANT WAS
THE NOTION AROUND HOW THE LAWS
AND REGULATIONS THAT ARE OUT
THERE FOR THE INTERNET ARE ONES
THAT ARE KIND
OF LAW KING AND ARE ONES THAT
HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN UPDATED AS
THE GROWTH OF THE INTERNET IS
REALLY
TAKING PLACE A LOT OF THE WAS
AND REGULATIONS THAT ARE IN
PLACE ARE 25 YEARS OLD SO WE'RE
FINDING NOW THAT SERIOUSLY
WE'RE
SEEING WITH YOU KNOW ARE THINGS
THAT NEED TO START BEING
>> I DO WANT TO PLAY ANOTHER
SOUND BITE THAT WE FROM THE
WHISTLEBLOWER OFFICIALLY
LEARNED HER IDENTITY ON 60
MINUTES ON SUNDAY AND NEVER
FOLLOWED THIS ACTUAL TESTIMONY
WE WERE PLAYING IT THERE, BUT
LET'S TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT SHE
HAD TO SAY TODAY.
>> THESE PROBLEMS ARE SOLVABLE.
FREE
SPEECH RESPECTING MORE
ENJOYABLE SOCIAL MEDIA
AS POSSIBLE. WELL, THERE'S ONE
THING THAT I HOPE EVERYONE
TAKES AWAY FROM THESE
DISCLOSURES. IT IS THAT
FACEBOOK
CAN CHANGE. BUT IT'S CLEARLY
NOT GOING TO DO SO ON ITS OWN.
MY FEARS THAT WITHOUT ACTION
DIVISIVE AND EXTREMES
BEHAVIORS. WE SEE TODAY ARE
ONLY THE BEGINNING.
>> DO YOU CAN MEANT THAT THIS
TIME IS DIFFERENT THIS FINALLY
AFTER YEARS I REALLY GOING BACK
TO 2016 OF THE MISINFORMATION
THAT WE'VE SEEN THE
DIVISIVENESS THAT WE'VE SEEN
THAT OF COURSE THE SAD REALITY
THAT
THE HARM. 2 TEENAGE GIRLS IN
PARTICULAR THAT ITS PLATFORMS
AND CARS DO YOU THINK THAT THIS
IS A WATERSHED MOMENT WE WILL
SEE CHANGE.
>> I DO THINK THAT THIS IS ONE
OF THE FIRST TIMES
THAT WE'VE REALLY SEEN KIND OF
BEHIND THE CURTAIN, SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON AT
SOME OF THESE REALLY LARGE TECH
GIANTS THAT ARE
OUT THERE. THE FACT THAT WE
HAVE SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY
WORKED ON SPECIFIC ALGORITHMS
WITHIN FACED UP TO SOMETHING
THAT IS
REALLY NOT VERY COMMON TO
REALLY COME ACROSS SO WHEN WE
LOOK AT THE FACT THAT WE'RE
GETTING INFORMATION IN FINDING
OUT HOW SOME OF THIS
INFORMATION WAS APPARENTLY NOON
TO FACEBOOK IT REALLY IS ON
PROBABLY THE GOVERNMENT TO LOOK
A LITTLE BIT HARDER
REGULATIONS. THEY COULD REALLY
CHANGE THINGS ENFORCED THESE
LARGE TECH COMPANIES TO COMPLY
>> YOU KNOW THE ROLE OF
A WHISTLEBLOWER IT IS NEVER
THEY DO FACE BACKLASH AT TIMES
FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON
THESE PLAT WARMS YOU KNOW
EVENTUALLY POSSIBLY FROM THE
COMPANY ITSELF AS THE A LAWSUIT
THAT
COULD ENSUE BUT IT'S
INTERESTING HERE THAT IF FRANCE
IS SPEAKING VERY CONFIDENTLY
TODAY AND ACTUALLY PROVIDING
SOME PRESCRIPTIONS AS TO HOW
THINGS COULD CHANGE AT
FACEBOOK NOTABLY ARE RAISING
THAT MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT ON
INSTAGRAM FROM 13 TO 16 OR 18
YEARS OLD. AND THEN EVEN
CALLING ON CONGRESS REALLY TO
ACT DO YOU THINK THAT CONGRESS
CAN USE
THIS TESTIMONY TO TRY TO MAKE
CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
>> I DO I THINK THE CHALLENGES
IN FROM ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
I
TYPICALLY SEE IS THAT THE
ADVANCEMENTS OF THINGS LIKE
INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK AND YOU CAN
SAY IT'S LIKE TIKTOK
HAVE REALLY EXCEEDED AND ON SO
INTO
THE FUTURE THAT LAWMAKERS, THE
LAW ITSELF REALLY STRUGGLED TO
BE ABLE TO CATCH UP WITH THE
CHANGING DYNAMIC THAT'S OUT
THERE SO
IN TURN SOME OF THE LAWS AND
LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS THAT MAY
COME DOWN BY THE TIME YOU'RE
ACTUALLY PUT IN PLACE CAN
ACTUALLY BE ANTIQUATED TECHNO
AND YOU MOVE SO MUCH QUICKER
THAN SOME OF THESE ASPECTS SO I
THINK WE'RE HEADING IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION. THE REALITY OF
IT COULD YOU REALLY NEED TO
CONSIDER THAT THE FACT THAT
TECHNOLOGY AND SOME OF THESE
PLATFORMS INVOLVED
SO QUICK WE NEED TO REALLY BE
ABLE TO PUT RULES AND
REGULATIONS IN PLACE THAT ARE
THINGS THAT CAN KIND OF NOT
JUST STOP WHAT'S GOING
ON TODAY THAT CAN BE FORWARD
THINKING ALSO BE ABLE TO PUT
SOMETHING IN PLACE FOR AS GET
FURTHER DOWN
THAT ROUTE.
>> IT DOES SEEM LIKE A LOT I
CAN RISE ON
THE OUT THAT AND THE
WHISTLEBLOWER FRANCES HOUGHTON
ACTUALLY WORKED ON ALGORITHM
PRODUCTS. AS
FACEBOOK ALGORITHM
OF COURSE TEEN WOMEN WHO 2 TEEN
GIRLS RIGHT WHO ARE USING
INSTAGRAM PLATFORM, SOWING
DIVISION THINGS OF THIS NATURE
AND THAT THE WHISTLEBLOWER IS
IS IS
SAYING HERE. WHAT ABOUT THE
ALGORITHM THAT I DO YOU THINK
MIGHT BE ABLE TO CHANGE.
>> SURE I MEAN I THINK THAT'S
PROBABLY WOULD BE EASIEST
ASPECTS TO CHANGE BECAUSE
THE AL FOR THEM RIGHT NOW IS
REALLY VERY MUCH BASED ON
POPULARITY SCENARIOS THAT ARE
GETTING YOU KNOW WAR
ENGAGE MEN ARE GOING TO BE THE
ONES THAT ARE OFTEN SHOWN
MORE AND THAT JUST SEEMS TO BE
KIND OF A COMMON ALGORITHM
ACROSS ALL THESE
TECH PLATFORMS BY BEING ABLE TO
GO BACK AND PULL BACK A LITTLE
BIT MORE ON HOW THAT OUT RHYTHM
WORKS
IN LIMITING WHO MIGHT BE SEEING
SOME OF THESE ADVERTISEMENTS
ARE POSTS AND NOT NECESSARILY
DOING IT BY THE CURRENT
ALGORITHM YOU CAN SEE SOME
PRETTY DRAMATIC CHANGES RIGHT
AWAY, BUT AGAIN
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS
ALSO WILL UP IN THE EXISTING
ADVERTISING MODEL AND REVENUE
DRIVING THAT FACEBOOK HAS
ACROSS INSTAGRAM AND PLATFORM
SELF 7, YOU KNOW THESE ARE SOME
AREAS THAT THEY CAN FIX.
BUT IT ALSO IN SOME RESPECTS
BEGINS TO
DAMAGE THERE.
>> I'M LIKE I DO THINK WE HAVE
TO WAIT TO FROM FACEBOOK TO GET
ITS OFFICIAL RESPONSE I GUESS
IN TERMS OF NEXT STEPS AND HOW
IT MIGHT IMPACT THE BUSINESS
GOING FORWARD. I TIMING
QUESTION I DUE TO TIMING AND I
ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION
LEFT WORKS WHEN IT COMES TO
THAT I'M JUST WONDERING THE
OUTAGE THAT WE SAW YESTERDAY
FACEBOOK SAY IT WAS ITS
OWN MAKING. WHAT SIGNAL DOES
THAT SEND TO USERS.
>> I THINK THAT THE I MEAN
LET'S BE HONEST THE TIMING OF
THE OUTAGE WAS EXTREMELY CURE
HIS
SON CONCERNING BASED UPON THE
FACT THAT THIS WHISTLEBLOWER
TESTIMONY HAD GAINED SUCH
PROMINENCE THERE BEEN SUCH
REALLY GLARE AROUND THIS TO
HAVE SUCH AN OUTAGE THAT THEY
HADN'T HAD ANYTHING
LIKE THIS IN OVER 13 YEARS RAIN
ALMOST THAT THIS TYPE OF THE
OUTAGE, YOU KNOW WHEN THE
INTERNET WAS RATE 2008 IS
PRIEST OR TIMES IN THE
INTERNET. YOU KNOW IS REALLY
SOMETHING I THINK IS CURIOUS
THAT I THINK AT
THE SCENE I THINK THAT FACEBOOK
CAN DO A GOOD JOB IN BEING ABLE
TO RESTORE A LOT OF THEIR
IDENTITY IN FEET IN CUSTOMERS
BY MAKING SOME CHANGES AND
SHOWING THAT THIS TESTIMONY IS
REALLY TAKING HIM
ON THEM AND THEY'RE WILLING TO
