- In an unmissable talk, journalist Carole Cadwalladr digs into one of the most perplexing events in recent times: the UK's super-close 2016 vote to leave the European Union. Tracking the result to a barrage of misleading Facebook ads targeted at vulnerable Brexit swing voters -- and linking the same players and tactics to the 2016 US presidential election -- Cadwalladr calls out the "gods of Silicon Valley" for being on the wrong side of history and asks: Are free and fair elections a thing of the past? (NOTE: This video has been edited as a result of judgment in the Court of Appeal in England and Wales in a libel action by Arron Banks, the funder of the Leave.EU Brexit campaign, against Carole Cadwalladr. A judge found that the talk was lawful at the time of delivery, however due to a subsequent change in circumstances part of the talk was found to be unlawful in England and Wales and has therefore been removed.)

For example: 1) By the Obstructive Act of attempting to remove the Special Counsel (as the Act is not required to be successful), 2) which was connected with the Official Proceeding of the subpoena-and-search warrant granting Grand Jury that Trump knew was investigating him, he showed 3) Corrupt Intent by holding a secret meeting with a non-government person (Lewindowsky) to try circumventing the justice system in order to commit that crime.
Sadly it's easier to con people than to convince people that they have been conned.
Cynical but wow, you have nailed it.
That's really makes sense
You've been conned if you believe this lady. She outright lies about EU talks with Turkey -- that's easily checkable.
@@mitchyoung9484 I totally understand your concern over turkey and EU part, but i like the fact that she raise about these social jaint that these big companies can really affect our democracy and political system.
Facebook nor any form of social media is a threat. Rather, the threat to democracy remains the same as it always has: stupidity and greed. And there is plenty of that in all levels of society.
Political add should be banned from social media
that is a political viewpoint, you shouldn't be expressing it on social media
see what i did there?
Political add's 's, should be banned period . Think about it, they are legally forbidden from lobbying military personnel, and considering the amount of lying, or how much commercials cost, it's impossible to find one who is not bought and paid for, how dangerous is that! So maybe if it was illegal to lobby citizens like it was to lobby servicemen, we would have to do our own research and find one who is honest.
@@nmarbletoe8210 he said *add not *comment
@Tony Cole You are missing the point; ads and posts are treated in a fundamentally different manner on social media. If I were to post something on Facebook, you would need to have some connection to me to even see it, but if a political campaign deems you persuadable they will force their propaganda into your feed ad nausea.
It's metaphorically the difference between a single person preaching on a soapbox in a city square compared to a thousand people chanting a slogan outside your doorstep. One of those is free speech, the other is harassment.

I came here after watching The Great Hack on Netflix. This is exactly why I left Facebook and deleted it forever.

"its not about left or right, leave or remain, trump or none. its about whether its possible have a free and fair election ever again. because as it stands i don't think it is."
Buildings1772 Very succinct .... but nobody here seems to understand that
No it's about stupid people that don't do their own research and the fact that the planet is full of dolts that vote even though they don't follow politics or put forth effort to become informed before voting. Anyone using facebook for the news is a complete waste of human organs. Anyone that comes out and says a Russian Ad on facebook pushed them into voting for Trump or Brexit should be recycled. The majority of voters are ignorant and are spoon fed information because they only want to be fed information that agrees with their ideologues, but I'd say 99% have enough brains to not be swayed by an advertisement. Uninformed voting is why the US had two giant piles of bescumbering refuse garner the majority of the votes. The two/three lesser parties received almost no votes. Disinformation has always been part of politics and it actually takes effort, time, and intelligence to see through the rouses. IF YOU DON"T PUT IN THE TIME TO FIND OUT THE FACTS THEN DON"T VOTE!!!
@@johnmulligan455 Do you have an actual example other than that poor one and the obvious those in insane asylums can't vote either, and neither can a foreigner?

THE MOST IMPORTANT TED TALK I HAVE EVER SEEN - TO THE POINT OF OUR AGE
Until she finds herself in court (happening right now) for defamation and uses ‘free speech’ as a defence. Free speech for me and not for thee I assume.
What is so appalling is that Carol Cadwalladr simply made the whole story up. She presented no evidence of any wrongdoing by Mr Banks because there is none. That she initially defended herself with the 'it is true' argument is bizarre. That she then claimed it was in the public interest (to tell outrageous lies) isn't any better.
@@sim5847 Can you be more specific on what (in particular) was made up? I'm trying to learn, so whatever input you have would help.
It's official. We're living in a Black Mirror episode.

Get off Facebook. Boycott it. I did after I heard about the Cambridge Analyitica deeds. The best thing I ever did. Make Mark Zuckerberg a pauper.
I won’t do that. I’ve got loads of idiot ‘friends’ that pick up and share these adds. I’ve got to tell them the truth!
You don't have to join Facebook to be tracked by it. Many many websites embed Facebook hooks into the web pages you visit. You don't even see them.
Paul Humphreys please send out multiple mailings and tell everyone
All social media platforms are contributing to this. Leave them all. Listen to Jaron Lanier!
@HKZ P You didn't understand a single word i said and yet you call me a "psychotic". The typical civil discourse in social media era.
Why don’t we make laws that hold social media platform executives criminally responsible for misinformation and political overspending?
They insist on immunity deals with the NSA in exchange for,err,shall we say 'back door access' !
Why doesn't this have more views?! It is such an important topic!
In 2020 the UK Information Commission concluded a three-year investigation and found no evidence that Cambridge Analytica had misused data during the Brexit referendum. Cadwalladr then admitted when she was embroiled in a libel case with Aron Banks, that there was no evidence for these claims. It's a shame people in the comment section are being mislead by nonsense.
A million views is quite alot
We have to post more comments to get people to see this. Otherwise, we only see 60 million targeted bullshit adds and articles
I got off of Facebook!! it is some sense of freedom. Just don't need it. and the benefits of one more saying no to Facebook is a reward in itself.
Your leaving doesn't solve the problem. How do you convince the brain dead?
Sure but here you are on the internet. Do you really think f-book is not just another internet site where you express yourself or don't or listen to others, as we do here?
Freedom says it all. Try it for just 0ne day and you may continue off Free, free.

The greater problem is that too many of the rich and powerful don't really believe democracy is necessary or even that useful to them. And they are largely correct. They have enough money and influence that democracy oftentimes is more a hindrance than an aid to them.
Democracy works on the hope that people know what's best for them. 96% of people believe they have above average intelligence....
Never before has this been so true.
Just seen the news. Carole won her libel trial against against Brexit banker Banks. She's a legend and will hopefully now get some awards. In fact, give her all of the awards. 😁
AMAZING NEWS!
And she's just lost on appeal!
So stupid she thinks the reason we voted for independence, isn't because we no longer wished to be led along the path to becoming an EU puppet state treaty by treaty without our consent overruled & overrun, but because of Facebook 🤔
And they wanted rule from Brussels yet worry about Foreign influence?
Insane beyond words.
There's no such thing as EU money. It's our money the EU hands back after they've taken a fat cut from it.
6m EU migrants have taken jobs, driven down wages & expanded council house queues to 12yrs in many Cities.
I speak first hand from living in Shirley in Southampton.
This deluded woman is in denial.
Globalism only benefits the rich 1% who want to be able to shunt labour round like a commodity with no regard for the native workforce.
Everyone else has to endure competing with more & more migrants for homes & jobs & everything else
Yet the left are too stupid to grasp this🤔
Nope. She's been shown - in Court - to be a liar.
😂😂😂😂 she has to pay Banks £35k plus costs which are likely to exceed £1M 😂😂 she's utterly discredited and most likely bankrupted. 😂😂😂
I realized what Facebook was doing to me and others years and years ago. I deleted my account and never looked back. If you find Facebook is stirring negative feelings and you feel like you're being pushed towards hate and distrust of people in general, DELETE IT! Just delete your Facebook account and go out for coffee with friends instead! Talk to your relatives... you don't need to know everything that's happening in everybody's lives.
Thank you, Carole. I'm spreading this far and wide.
Is idiocy infectious?

very strange , facebook that owns peoples privacy, break every privvacy of the ' common man'
protect heavely the privacy of the powerfull

I came back to listen to this brave and knowledgeable lady once more after her court victory. Keep up the good work Carole you are on the right side of history.
Lol, did you read the judgement? It's not a win for her career, frankly embarrassing for her.
@@CmdrTobs Wrong he lost get over it. Below is cut and paste from judgement.
416. For the reasons I have given, I conclude: i) The claimant has proved that the publication of the TED Talk has caused and/or is likely to cause serious harm to his reputation. The TED Talk is defamatory of Mr Banks for the purposes of s.1 of the 2013 Act. ii) The claimant has failed to prove that publication of the Tweet caused or is likely to cause serious harm to his reputation. The claim in respect of the Tweet is therefore dismissed on the ground that the Tweet is not defamatory for the purposes of s.1 of the 2013 Act. iii) The defendant has established a public interest defence in relation to the publication of the TED Talk pursuant to s.4 of the 2013 Act. iv) There was a significant change of circumstances once both the NCA’s statement and the Joint Statement had been published on 29 April 2020, such that the public interest defence in s.4 of the 2013 Act ceased to apply. v) The claimant has failed to prove that the publication of the TED Talk from 29 April 2020 caused and/or is likely to cause serious harm to his reputation. In respect of that period, the TED Talk is not defamatory for the purposes of s.1 of the 2013 Act. vi) Accordingly, the claim is dismissed.
@@CmdrTobs Not really. Banks is now trying to relitigate and having no luck. She actually doesn't say definitively he got his money from Russia, she says he was referred to the NCA by the EC because they didn't know where his money was from, and that's true. He got away with it, but people with his money can afford better lawyers and accountants than the NCA. She did a great thing exposing these vicious creeps for the corrupt, manipulative and self-serving parasites they are.
@@CmdrTobs and today lost on appeal
@@richy69ify and today, she needs to pay, and that’s just the down payment.
So it turns out that Carole Cadwalladr is not only brave, bright, humane and a superb journalist. She is also an orator of the first rank. We are so lucky to have her.
Utter nonsense. She is talking unadulterated drivel. She's self-serving just like the rest of the remainiacs - they have been duped into believing that the EU is good for the UK and don't have the independent intelligence to work out that it is in fact a total scam.
She sucks. "You, the Gods of Silicon Valley." Give me a break.
Have you noticed how none of those who've replied to you have said WHY she's wrong?
It's so pathetic. They've been groomed so convincingly that they're afraid of the truth. Tragic.
What is so appalling is that Carol Cadwalladr simply made the whole story up. She presented no evidence of any wrongdoing by Mr Banks because there is none. That she initially defended herself with the 'it is true' argument is bizarre. That she then claimed it was in the public interest (to tell outrageous lies) isn't any better.
The real question is why are people so easily influenced by ads. Why do we lack the ability to debunk false info and use our own mind? Why do we lack sound judgment? Controlling ads is not the answer. Developing our critical and analytical thinking is.
ankontini Critical and analytical thinking can only happen if you receive a good education.
@@zoejay there are a lot of people with incredible educations but still think like robots. Because education nowadays is feeding the mind information instead of teaching people how to think. You don't need a Phd to not fall victim to facebook hoaxes.
ankontini its easy to try to blame ads and i dont think many would have been that interested in them, nearly all the people i know in my area were wanting leave for a very long time at least going back to 2005/06. The overloading of our local infrastructure wasnt responded to by government at all and still hasnt been. Just a small correction to the video that those projects were our own money being spent by the EU whilst they keep a high percentage to spend elsewhere.
Duncan Craig Do you have a high amount of EU immigration in your area or is it non EU immigration that was overloading your infrastructure? UK has complete independence to respond its domestic issues. I wonder if this is known by general public.
Subliminal messages works extremely well on all people, no matter how well informed or intelligent they are. The actual adverts, pictures, sounds and text are just the tip of the iceberg.
just came here after watching the great hack on netflix. its truly scary
@Anurag Anand
Same here lol
Me too. I voiced my outrage on F/B and they refused to publish the post because it broke their "rules"
Same here
Me too
Obama used the same tricks. This is nothing new. People are only crying because their side lost.
I've been in the IT industry, which means I read IT publications. For many years before Cambridge Analytica, various Internet civil rights groups and activists have been raising alarm bells about privacy issues with social media in general, that those social media companies were violating our privacy, selling info about us to whoever without our knowledge, and that this could all have devastating impacts on us.
It turns out that all of those who were yelling about privacy issues with regards to social media was right all along.
I enjoyed connecting with long-lost friends and relatives on Facebook, so I'm sorry to say that I didn't heed the warning of all those activists until after the Cambridge Analytica thing. Now it may be too late to save democracy in the West.
PS -- please give money to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. They're one of the groups we should have been listening to.
Indeed, people who aren't computer professionals often don't understand the power of information and how you can put together random bits of data to learn things about a person they may never admit in public. CA and other groups took advantage of this and the populace had no idea they were being manipulated. Saw it myself in friends who turned into militant Brexit obsessives but couldn't actually explain why or how it was going to work. Same thing happened with covid where they'd be talking about topics they didn't understand but learnt about through conspiracy memes and dubious Internet stories.
Brexit saved democracry in the UK. No more laws in perpetuity from unelected Commisioners = Dictatorship
Here after watching the great hack yes, and I got really emotional watching her speech, because she is so right and I applaud her and others for bringing this to ones attention and letting us know we must fight back!!!!
Amen!
And I pity you for falling for her subversive propaganda. She's in the process of getting bankrupted for the lies she told here. The Court of Appeal just ordered her to pay Arron Banks £35,000 damages for her lies and the legal fees she will have to pay will be over £1million. Arron Banks took your advice and fought back. Well done!
FB was never meant to be a social media platform where you connect with friends. We had Skype for that. More like a data syphoning platform to know about consumer taste and preference, sell it to big firms and 3rd parties so they can increase profit margins and political agenda. In the case of UK is pushing for private 'healthcare' US style, cheaper GMO food, American companies and more. Forcing the UK out of EU is essential for that to happen.
Yeah, that does seem very absurd.. that FB started out on the right foot but somewhere along the line it got derailed. I'm sure at its inception, a firm agenda was already in place.
Damn. 😮 I’m copying your post for reposting, it’s major.
Facebook is only useful for private meme groups.
There is no such thing as a FB private group. Don't be naive.
Public meme groups then.
Check out "Classical Art Memes" for example.
World leaders, allong with other leaders are one side, their own
Keeping in touch with world wide friends is great, but I only use messenger now
Agreed. Tag and meme groups are most of why I'm still on there.
What boggles my mind is that I can easily create an ad that would be rejected by Facebook for using incorrect or misleading information. Yet this happens on a much larger scale and it's fine.
I got a month ban for posting a pic of Adolf when i was already banned and couldnt post anything again🤣🤣🤣
These companies deep pockets allow red carpet treatment to post whatever they want sadly..~
They are practicing a selective censorship, AKA brainwashing us into their agenda. Watching news on conflicts from 5 yrs ago is the only way to understand where the conflict originated. Everything current is BS to sell us wars.
“Because you set out to connect people and you are refusing to acknowledge that the same technology is now driving us apart”
What if we imposed a rule on social media that all adverts can only advertise a product or a service. This would mean that they could not push out political adverts of any sort.
who is "we"? Social networks don't care about what your "we" thinks
@@Bongo2k The "we" is powerful political sturctures such as the EU.

It is happening in India... These decades will be remember as the dark age of technology in the history
I think online censorship would be the dark age of technology. Then free speach online would be dead and you won't be allowed an opinion that goes against the government. They have already got all the newspapers and news channels in their pockets, now they want to control the main way we can find out about the truth. We cant let this happen but we dont get an opinion or vote on it. A TED talk i recently watched mentioned that soon enough, we will all be on the dark web instead. Very interesting if you haven't seen it.
The idea of the dark age is definitely interesting. How would you imagine the solution to pierce that dark veil to be? For my part, I Think for this to happen it would inquire an international law that identify the Identity of the internet as a shared space with secure legal routes and ethic code. I dont think it has anything to do with censorship. I think on the contrary that the mass cancerous in its present form is censoring the real persons.
@@planter13 So wanting huge tech companies to be accountable to our government is online censorship? If you are afraid of not being able to have an opinion that goes against the government you should be very worried about the rise of authoritarianism all around the world.

Truth
TH-cam still hosts quite a lot of good alternative content- for now. Sure, it's obviously heading towards a corporatist's platform, but the demonitized and censored content is where it's at. Get down the rabbit holes here whilst you still can I say.
People use YT very differently than fb as you can actively pursue content and aren't just consuming what fb decides to show you. All of the ads I am shown on YT are for products or services not BS about Turkey about to join the EU (one must be pretty ignorant to have believed that one). Might as well include the Google search engine too then. ... In anyway, can't be that bad because you are still here, Chris Ross ;)

How can they continue the Brexit plan knowing that the referendum was biased? Mindblowing
I've been asking myself this question since the referendum. I have to conclude that it's because our politicians are utter cowards who'd rather protect their own careers and political parties than admit the electorate were conned and that they allowed it.

Ignore the responses, they will be as polarised as usual. The reason it continues is that all the political parties know that to try and reverse the decision will cause civil unrest.

How is Zuckerberg influencing people any different to your government introducing one law after another that not a single person asked for or wanted? Wake up!
There is a simple solution to the problems Facebook is causing. Pursue criminal litigation where the company has or is breaking the law. There is no excuse for the things that Facebook has knowingly allowed.
It works both ways. Either Facebook allows everything or it blocks everything which is political. It currently is not unbiased in its approach and so will cause a problem if it continues in such a way.
@@iain5615 I think you missed the part about criminal litigation and the law. The suggestion wasn't to stop anything and everything that's political, it was to stop things that are illegal, or rather to prosecute those who have broken the law. This isn't a Catch-22 situation, it's actually pretty straightforward.
@@iain5615 - While that is true, the allegations here (IIRC) is that something illegal is being done. If something illegal is being done, then investigate and if warranted prosecute. No different from anything else. Many people do not realize this, but all broadcasters have legal restrictions on what they are allowed to broadcast, including the advertising. It varies by country, but all countries have some sort of restrictions.
The UK electorate should have prosecuted its entire Parliament and senior civil servants within Whitehall over 40 years ago. Now they definitely did break the law then and and they've been doing it ever since. They are so illegal and illegitimate its almost comical. But because they are untouchable in our so called "democracy" we have the kind of battle this know-nothing TED presenter is unable to comprehend. Her non-existent mind just can't cope with its conclusions.....so it must be Facebook.

Seriously some people (and there are quite a few commenting here are no different to National Socialist or Soviet fanatics. This TED presenter is just one such person.
As presenter says part of problem is that much isn't covered by existing laws. We don't know how many or what ads were shown by whom to who and zuckerberg won't supply that info. There's no law to force him to. Current EU Data protection laws were enacted post brexit referendum.
The exact algorithms FB uses for advertising arent known, what it's possible to do with 50million account details isnt known. It is legal for FB to sell user data, it's legal for political parties to advertise on FB. We don't know how much user data + dodgy use + dodgy ads skews an electorate.
Read (the presenter) Cadwallader's articles on brexit and cambridge analytica - they cover issues in more depth than here.
Carole Cadwalladr has just conceded her court case v Arron Banks as baseless. Cadwalladr has avoided the humiliation of appearing in court this morning by submitting in writing an amended defence which,
“… removes the Truth Defence and the Limitation Defence”

ERROR
This was the Most important TED speech I’ve heard
Facebook has the ability to make governments FALL. And that is not an overstatement of it’s abilities!!!
Who ever has the ability to purchase their public analytics of the Facebook population and target their ads has the ability to manipulate and undermine Free Choice of the viewers since they are swamped with ads, polls, surveys etc - either chosen or subliminally viewed. You have the choice to not read it but you don’t have the choice of not seeing it even for the second you glance at it to determine if you want to dig deeper into it.
Facebook need government regulation. And that is a very hard thing for me to say , but with our newspapers being destroyed by the internet Facebook and it’s like by default have become the national news outlet. Which means it must be free of manipulation which it appears is impossible as currently configured.

I live in the US, but if I had to guess, they may target those that are more on the fence about politics, and they do have algorithms for trying to guess where you stand on the political spectrum, at least they do in the US. advertisers can just say they want to target independent and somewhat left/right leaning, and exclude the extremely left/right

I was at an academic conference shortly before the election. Every academic was pro-remain, whilst every taxi driver, hotel worker, and bartender was for Brexit. Kudos to the folks in the town in Wales for thumbing their noses at the EU even though they built a bridge or two.

Which election are you referring to ? The referendum wasn't an election, so I'm a bit sceptical about your attendance at any academic conference.....but let's agree on one thing. The referendum was 3 years ago. We still haven't left the EU and we all know why. You wouldn't object to a second referendum would you ?

These people just can't imagine they lost without there being some conspiracy or outside influence being involved. They are totally out of touch with the common man.
I totally agree. The sentiment that she is pushing is becoming more and more common for Britons that need to justify or push away responsibility for their votes that lead to brexit.

@@guywiththebottle I wish you good luck. I only wanted to give you an example of a country thats not going through this.

Funny I never saw one FB ad before the referendum. I saw a literature (booklet) in a church saying something wrong about EU. So I looked into more of it and decided we should leave EU.
Wrong think is illegal, according to this harlot.
Then you weren't being targeted. Millions of others were though.
Its cool to see in a large point of view how society is constantly rebalancing between multiple wills, acidentaly showing a behaviour that seeks for the stability of the wills. And how the most tiny of the wills end up creating a large aspect of the society. Its like when you left something fall, and it keep bouncing arround until it finally stop.
well put.
Not sure how your comment is "cool" when what you're essentially saying is chaos in action.
How much did the "remain" campaign spend? Of course, she only presents one side.
Monsieur P. Probably way too less than they should.
It's not an issue of how much was spent. The issue is whether or not it was legal (and some of Leave's wasn't), and what they actually said (i.e. verifiable untruths in order to convince weak minds).

I didn't know that you were born in Enw Vale.. Explains why you are so courageous, intelligent and passionate about social justice. I am familiar with the South Wales valleys and worked there for a few years but not like being brought up there. Waaaw I am so impressed with you and had been following you on Twitter for years. I'd never seen this talk and hadn't realised who your audience was. The psychological profiling of online users of any system has been going on for a long time but used as marketing tools to convince you to buy certain products. Seems like buying a certain set of well placed political viewpoints and untruths was a very short step from there. No wonder Boris and Co were swept up by it all. Fantastic.

If Remain had won, the talk would be "Facebook and Remain, a blessing for democracy"
Only if remain had used illegal tactics. Which they didn't.
Hardly. They would have voted based on facts and reality meaning that they were informed possibly by reading broadsheet newspapers instead of tabloids.
@@lellyparker well I mean they did overspend didn't they?? or do you not read articles that go against your group think?? order-order.com/2019/03/31/gisela-stuart-reminds-remain-spent-far-money/
If remain had won, it would have been a victory for common sense and the status quo.
That leave won is the reason so many questions are being asked, since common sense was defeated.
«Turkey signed a Customs Union agreement with the EU in 1995 and was officially recognised as a candidate for full membership on 12 December 1999, at the Helsinki summit of the European Council.»
«Negotiations for full membership were started on 3 October 2005.[5] Progress was slow, and out of the 35 Chapters necessary to complete the accession process only 16 had been opened and one had been closed by May 2016.[6] The early 2016 refugee deal between Turkey and the European Union was intended to accelerate negotiations after previous stagnation and allow visa-free travel through Europe for Turks.[7]»
Sorry, have they joined? I must have missed it.
For the avoidance of doubt, there's 30-odd tests they need to pass to be able to be admitted. To date, they've passed 3. They're not joining any time soon.
If they pass the 30-odd tests, they would have become a fully functioning democracy. And that would be a brilliant thing, so what would be the problem? Would it be that you don't like brown people coming to the UK to live, work and love?
Sparking fear of Turkey joining the EU any time soon is not only a lie, it's racist.
You've missed the point. She said there haven't even been talks. There have been talks. It doesn't matter how improbable final success is. She said no talks and there have been talks.
@@thecoderofyoutube Turks aren't brown.
Wow, there it is. The undeniable TRUTH. I think I'll share this to FB. Hopefully it will bring some awareness about this before they remove and bury it.
imagine being so upset that you lost a vote that you blame everyone and anyone other than your ideas.
If you think that is what went on or that is what she is saying, you need to pay more attention.
She is simply pointing out a major breach of electoral process that may have had a major impact in disrupting the UK's future and highlighting the danger it posed to democracy around the world.
Imagine to see voters going against their best interests and researching it while being threatened by those profiting of it.
There's already evidence that Russia interfered in US elections so you don't find that concerning ? You don't find it concerning that democratic processes can be subverted by online campaigns that spews lies ?

But wait, I didn't search for her TED speech. It was suggested to me because of searches I have made on Google and videos I watched on TH-cam. Doesn't that give her video and her opinion an unfair advantage also? Even though her video wasn't an ad, the result is the same, someone's political ideas trying to influence my thinking by targeting me with a computer algorythm
Not for me. Her video is on the feature page of the Ted Talks Channel. I came to the Ted Talks channel, and that's how I found her.
I agree entirely. I voted leave. I didn't see any such videos, adverts of this kind what ever. I also got this video dumped into my 'recommended feed' on youtube, simply because despite this utter pile of garbage, TED Talks are usually less biased than this women is here. She is s well known remain supporter in the UK. I voted leave in 1975 (yes I am that old) and again in 2016. Those of us who voted in 1975 and didn't get the answer we wanted, accepted it. There was not all these excuses for the fact the the EUSSR has proved to be so undemocratic. And by the way all that so called EU money that did so much for Ebbw Vale, wasn't EU money it was less than 30% of the money we gave to the EU as our 'contribution' to them. We could have done the whole thing a lot cheaper by NOT being in the EU. And for those who say that an old person (66) like me has ruined the future of our Country, I would point out I was 22 in 1975, and all those who voted to remain then ruined my future. But I didn't winge, I got on with my life, as these sad remainers need to do now.
Sorry end of rant.
@@shanedurcan2805 Shame? you complete fuckwitt. Would you address anything raised in this presentation? It's not a case of 'not winning' it's an investigation into how forces with malevolent interests (Trump, Putin etc) who have an interest in undermining the EU market, are influencing our democracy.

In the end she’s blaming Facebook for the leave result, as if every leave voter and no remain voters use Facebook that much
She's basically saying 'People who voted leave are stupid and were influenced by ads targeted to them, but those on the remain side were too smart to be influenced'. What a moronic and bias take.
@@mrroams5812 Exactly. TED should stay out of politics, and this lady is only telling half the story. What a joke. What about all the remain propoganda that was unfairly used? For example the BBC giving more airtime to proremain politicians. I guarantee more of the older population watch the BBC than use facebook yet they still voted to leave.
@@pvpherthen2981 I'm sorry, but the two sides aren't even remotely comparable. The Leave.EU campaign used fraudulent practices and illegal funds to get the job done. How in your silly mind can this be compared to x more minutes on the BBC?
@@mrroams5812 you realize how these ad campaigns work, do you? There is an algorithm that selects ideal targets for the ad. If the algorithm classifies you as pro-remain, you do not qualify as target and your profile is ignored. They are not going to waste their money trying to convince people who are strongly on the opposite side. This campaign was mostly directed at those whose mind could be changed. Based on your low level of understanding, I should say that the only one affected by moronic bias is you.
It's not a question of how much Facebook you use. It is about the type of ads they feed you. This campaign was aimed at convincing people who weren't taking sides, so not everyone saw the same things.
Yes, watched it twice. So now I know slightly more that nothing. Makes me want to go back to cash, land lines, and written mail.

These are moments that convince me that I want to learn psychology/neuroscience. The subtle yet powerful effects such as group polarization, confirmation bias, and priming so prevalent on the internet scare me. This speech teaches me that they're incredibly effective, yet they permeate through our lives so deeply and so much of it is unconscious that we can't immediately break loose from them. (This also brings terrifying implications about whether we are truly, intellectually free, a premise that democracy bases upon so much.) Researching on these effects, especially regarding the internet, is key, and I can't say I'm excited (I'm scared to see what we may find), but I certainly want to look further into this.
Enjoy your travels. Can I also suggest formal logic. It is an incredibly useful tool when navigating information warfare.
Start with Kahneman’s lectures on System 1 (emotional shorthand, autopilot) and System 2 (systematic, careful evidence based) thinking. Then look at perception, particularly visual and auditory illusions. If those things are old hat there is a wonderful lecture series from Robert Sapolsky. I’d always heard about game theory but what I had heard wasn’t making sense to me. He covers this really well.

It follows that the people arguing this will then argue for their political opponents to be deplatformed. My counter argument is that I am a leave voter and I do not have a social media account therefore I could not have been influenced by it. Yet I still voted leave. I am demonstrating that their argument is false - I voted leave and was not influenced by social media. Deplatforming will not work.

@Dzooky P2P So the govt can tell you what you can see?
Facebook and youtube are already trying to get regulations out on themselves. The more regulation the more they can control what people see. And the better their sole control over information because new start ups will never be able to keep up with the regulations like FB and themtube can. They have the money the programmers the lawyers.

Delighted to learn that Arron Banks has lost the Russia libel case against Carole Cadwalladr - the contentious phrase is here at 7:44.
Without people like her, carrying on her work, we wouldn't even know about all this dark, dark stuff... We depend on her and similar brave, hard-working journalists. We're on the cusp of giving up any control we had and fought so hard to gain. As CC points out at 3:53, their lies and deceit literally disappears from view, after the event. They *must* be held to account! Thank-You, Carole and Keep Up The Good Fight, please !!
What is so appalling is that Carol Cadwalladr simply made the whole story up. She presented no evidence of any wrongdoing by Mr Banks because there is none. That she initially defended herself with the 'it is true' argument is bizarre. That she then claimed it was in the public interest (to tell outrageous lies) isn't any better.

Andrew Higginbottom I don't have numbers for South Wales. However, I do know that the EU takes in more than it sends out. Something has to go to the beauracracy. If it is anything like the US, the percentage of return is low. By the time you pay the salaries for the legislators, administrators, consultants, etc. there is a fairly low return .

@@ronaldjohnson7905 The headline figure is £126 per person. However, in return for that we get reduced costs on shared services such as Science research, international terrorism prevention, medical research, international trade negotiations.

This is before you add in the other benefits we gained whilst being in the EU: frictionless trade, freedom to work, live or retire anywhere in the EU, cleaner beaches, improved air quality, improved employee protection (2 million of us got paid holidays for the first time) etc etc.

coz mate, democracy is an ongoing thing. It's self-improving and evolving in accordance with the time and change of humanity. It is constantly threatened and challenged by the very people that invented it in the first place - coz we, humans, cant be absolutely sensible all the time and hence cannot adhere to the system we created due to, again, constant self-discovering, evolving, and changing. It is a process, and the woman in the Ted talk was talking about the technologies that we humans invented (self-discovering) are threatening the very system that we humans established in the first place. It is a constant paradox since thousands of years ago coz we are humans - we want secure our personal interest, but also pertain to an insatiable desire for novelty and conflict, which inevitably contradicts our personal interest - and this is how we get picked by the rich every time especially for the middle class.

That is the thrust of the video. "We didn't lockdown the distribution of information hard enough, and lost a critical vote."

Why did TED cut out the part where carile codswallop falsely accuses Areon Banks of taking Russian money?
Banks was an almost broke vacuum cleaner salesman before marrying his Russian wife. He then became very rich, and paid huge sums to the Leave campaign with money he won’t account for. His many meetings with Russian diplomats are likewise irrelevant. Like Yevgeny Prigozhin, he’s just a businessman.
