Las redes sociales y medios de comunicación buscan eliminar las noticias falsas en sus plataformas

13 DE SEPTIEMBRE 2016 - 12:35 PM

Facebook y Twitter se aliaron a un grupo de empresas de noticias para mejorar la información que se divulga en redes sociales para luchar contra la distrubución de noticias falsas.

Medios como Channel 4 News, The Telegragh, el New York Times, Washington Post , BuzzFeed News, ABC News en Australia y la Agencia France-Presse se encuentran entre las más de 20 empresas de noticias que se han inscrito en esta red, que es organizada por el gigante de internet Google

La participación de Facebook, en particular, es un aporte significativo debido a su papel en la distribución y recolección de noticias, así como su creciente papel en la difusión de noticias falsas y su enfoque de lo que puede y no puede ser publicado en la plataforma, según el diario The Guardian.

La red de socios está diseñada para ayudar a las cadenas de noticias a trabajar junto con las empresas de tecnología para mejorar la recopilación de noticias, y hacer que la verificación de la información de los medios sea más efectiva y de fácil acceso.

“El plan piloto de este proyecto trabaja estrechamente con las organizaciones de noticias y plataformas sociales que están posicionados, para coordinar los esfuerzos y facilitar el progreso en la lucha contra algunos de los principales desafíos que enfrentan los periodistas y su público.", señaló Jenni Sargent, directora del proyecto, para The Guardian.

También se espera mejorar la experiencia de las personas con las agencias de noticias, así como ayudar a los usuarios de las redes sociales a evaluar las noticias que encuentran en las plataformas. Otros proveedores de noticias están considerando unirse a la iniciativa.

How social media is being weaponised around the globe

“A Bond of Perpetual Peace”

War, as the 19th-century military theorist Carl von Clausewitz famously put it, is simply the continuation of politics by other means. Social media, by democratizing the spread of information and erasing the boundaries of time and distance, has expanded the means, transforming war to an extent not seen since the advent of the telegraph.

In 1838, Sidney Morse wrote to his brother Samuel to congratulate him on the recent unveiling of the telegraph, which Sidney called “not only the greatest invention of this age, but the greatest invention of any age.” He prophesied, “The surface of the earth will be networked with wire, and every wire will be a nerve. The earth will become a huge animal with ten million hands, and in every hand a pen to record whatever the directing soul may dictate!”

Merkel says Facebook and Google “distort perception”..demands they “reveal algorithms”



https://www.rt.com/news/364235-merkel-facebook-google-algorithms/

German Chancellor Angela Merkel launched a broadside at internet media giants, accusing them of “narrowing perspective,” and demanding they disclose their privately-developed algorithms. Merkel previously blamed social media for anti-immigrant sentiment and the rise of the far right.

“The algorithms must be made public, so that one can inform oneself as an interested citizen on questions like: what influences my behavior on the internet and that of others?”said Merkel during a media conference in Berlin on Tuesday.

“These algorithms, when they are not transparent, can lead to a distortion of our perception, they narrow our breadth of information.”

Google uses an algorithm to decide which search results are first shown to a user, while Facebook arranges the order of the news feed, and decides to include certain posts from a user’s liked pages and friends, at the expense of others. Both sites also promote links to news articles, often based on a user’s own media interests.

These algorithms are at the core of the intellectual property of any social media or search website, and comprise some of the most highly-protected trade secrets in the world, potentially worth billions. No internet giant has ever revealed its inner workings.

Merkel did not specifically name Facebook, Google or Twitter, but implied that the large platforms are creating “bubbles” of self-reinforcing views, and squeezing out smaller news providers.

“The big internet platforms, via their algorithms, have become an eye of a needle which diverse media must pass through to reach users,”warned Merkel. “This is a development that we need to pay careful attention to.”

The internet giants themselves have argued that the so-called social media bubble is largely a myth, and that online users have a wider access to differing views than under a pre-internet model, where most news would be acquired from just a handful of newspapers and one or two TV channels.
 
Según las declaraciones de un CEO de Google a pocos días de las elecciones americanas, la compañía debería revisar muy atentamente para noticias falsas el contenido que ofrece a sus millones de usuarios, ya que precisamente esta noticias falsas pueden haber determinado el éxito de las elecciones en los EEUU:

Britain has passed the 'most extreme surveillance law ever passed in a democracy'
The law forces UK internet providers to store browsing histories -- including domains visited -- for one year, in case of police investigations.


By Zack Whittaker for Zero Day | November 17, 2016 -- 08:00 GMT (08:00 GMT) | Topic: Security
  • The new law, dubbed the "snoopers' charter", was introduced by then-home secretary Theresa May in 2012, and took two attempts to get passed into law following breakdowns in the previous coalition government.

    Four years and a general election later -- May is now prime minister -- the bill was finalized and passed on Wednesday by both parliamentary houses.

    But civil liberties groups have long criticized the bill, with some arguing that the law will let the UK government "document everything we do online".

    It's no wonder, because it basically does.

    The law will force internet providers to record every internet customer's top-level web history in real-time for up to a year, which can be accessed by numerous government departments; force companies to decrypt data on demand -- though the government has never been that clear on exactly how it forces foreign firms to do that that; and even disclose any new security features in products before they launch.

    Not only that, the law also gives the intelligence agencies the power to hack into computers and devices of citizens (known as equipment interference), although some protected professions -- such as journalists and medical staff -- are layered with marginally better protections.

    In other words, it's the "most extreme surveillance law ever passed in a democracy," according to Jim Killock, director of the Open Rights Group.

    The bill was opposed by representatives of the United Nations, all major UK and many leading global privacy and rights groups, and a host of Silicon Valley tech companies alike. Even the parliamentary committee tasked with scrutinizing the bill called some of its provisions "vague".

    Britain allegedly bypassed international intelligence-sharing treaties.

    And that doesn't even account for the three-quarters of people who think privacy, which this law almost entirely erodes, is a human right.

    There are some safeguards, however, such as a "double lock" system so that the secretary of state and an independent judicial commissioner must agree on a decision to carry out search warrants (though one member of the House of Lords disputed that claim).

    A new investigatory powers commissioner will also oversee the use of the powers.

    Despite the uproar, the government's opposition failed to scrutinize any significant amendments and abstained from the final vote. Killock said recently that the opposition Labour party spent its time "simply failing to hold the government to account".

    But the government has downplayed much of the controversy surrounding the bill. The government has consistently argued that the bill isn't drastically new, but instead reworks the old and outdated Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA). This was brought into law in 2000, to "legitimize" new powers that were conducted or ruled on in secret, like collecting data in bulk and hacking into networks, which was revealed during the Edward Snowden affair.

    Much of those activities were only possible thanks to litigation by one advocacy group, Privacy International, which helped push these secret practices into the public domain while forcing the government to scramble to explain why these practices were legal.

    The law will be ratified by royal assent in the coming weeks.

Gracias. Es inquietante y aterrador. Desde el primer momento, me llamó la atención el nombre de "Pizza", aunque no acabo de comprender. Ni, tampoco cómo se puede llegar a estas aberraciones.

Desde luego, que usan artimañas para evitar que se extiendan estas noticias y la gente se lo crea. Pero, está muy ciega, todavía.

Ayer mismo, en una conversación sobre cómo funciona el mundo de la empresa y los estudios según las leyes, me atreví a contar cómo funciona el gobierno y la élite para que tengamos el mundo empresarial y educativo que tenemos. La misma persona que sacó el tema y empezó a hablar de leyes, me hizo callar aludiendo que no era una conversación de política.

Saben que las redes sociales son una autopista, donde se puede extender muy fácilmente el conocimiento de cualquier cosa y, de cada vez, el poder está más unido con los grandes medios para cerrar el circuito. Asimismo, necesitan usar códigos para neutralizar noticias ya salidas a la luz.

Pero, como digo, mucha gente todavía cree que lo que dice el gobierno vale porque entra dentro de la ley. Y, lo que dicen los medios oficiales vale porque lo dice X publicación. Y, si les cuentas que no es así, no te creen. Peor aún, poderles explicar que llegan a participar en estos rituales.

Sí, he leído y visto que ya en las noticias se habla de "teoría de la conspiración" cuando estamos hablando de manera serie de uno de los mayores escándalos, y bastante graves, en el que pueda estar implicado una persona pública o famosa.
Tendrán poca vergüenza.
 
Es inquietante como avanza la ped*filia por todo el mundo.Hay un manto de silencio que hasta en internet desaparecen de la web cualquier noticia que salga.Son personas muy poderosas que parecen que están por encima del bien y del mal.Con la provocación de la mísera pobreza,cada vez hay más niñ@s desprotegidos en manos de esos depredadores.Hay demasiadas señales en todas partes para que alguien piense pueda ser conspiración.Es tremendo como algunos seres humanos pueden degradarse hasta esos extremos.Dentro del género humano los que más me enternecen son los niños y ancianos,por que son los más vulnerables y los que más cariño y protección necesitan y pensar en que esos niños están a merced de esos desaprensivos... me parece repugnante y alucinante.
 
la campania de censura continua...ahora se llama lucha contra los #fakenews y #hatespeech...

Big Brother Is Here: Twitter Will Monitor Users Behavior 'Off Platform'

20171119_twitter2.jpg


In perhaps the most intrusive move of social media platforms’ efforts signal as much virtue as possible and appease their potentially-regulating government overlords, Twitter has announced that it is cracking down on what it defines at hate-speech and not just by looking at its own site.

In what amounts to a major shift in Twitter policy, Mashable’s Kerry Flynn reports that the company announced on Friday that it will be monitoring user’s behavior “on and off the platform” and will suspend a user’s account if they affiliate with violent organizations, according to an update to Twitter’s Help Center on Friday.

Abusive Behavior
We believe in freedom of expression and open dialogue, but that means little as an underlying philosophy if voices are silenced because people are afraid to speak up. In order to ensure that people feel safe expressing diverse opinions and beliefs, we prohibit behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence another user’s voice.

Context matters when evaluating for abusive behavior and determining appropriate enforcement actions. Factors we may take into consideration include, but are not limited to whether:

  • the behavior is targeted at an individual or group of people;
  • the report has been filed by the target of the abuse or a bystander;
  • the behavior is newsworthy and in the legitimate public interest.
Violence: You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people. This includes, but is not limited to, threatening or promoting terrorism.

You also may not affiliate with organizations that – whether by their own statements or activity both on and off the platform – use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes.

Abuse: You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. We consider abusive behavior an attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else’s voice.

Hateful conduct: You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.

Hateful imagery and display names: You may not use hateful images or symbols in your profile image or profile header. You also may not use your username, display name, or profile bio to engage in abusive behavior, such as targeted harassment or expressing hate towards a person, group, or protected category.

Furthermore, Twitter says it will control the stream of information more broadly…

At times, we may prevent certain content from trending.

As Kerry Flynn notes, these changes comes amid aggressive moves by Twitter to curb abuse and harassment on the site after more than a decade of essentially letting the abusers operate freely.

Over the last week, Twitter has taken action against the accounts of white supremacists. Twitter permanently banned Tim “Treadstone” Gionet, a prominent alt-right troll more widely known as Baked Alaska, earlier this week. It also removed the verification badges of Jason Kessler, one of the organizers of the racist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, and of alt-right activist Richard Spencer.

Twitter’s decision to monitor users off site sparked concern from free speech advocates such as Andrew Torba, founder of social network Gab.

“This is a scary precedent to set,” he wrote in an email to Mashable.

“Rules like this will only force dissidents and those who are speaking truth to power to silence themselves or risk being silenced by Twitter.”

Twitter’s new rules will not be enforced until December 18th…


And of course, “if you’re doing nothing wrong, then why would this be an issue for you” will be instant reposte of those defending yet more intrusion within America’s surveillance state.
