00:24:17.760So despite the fact that it's important about representation, in a time where it's more important than ever, why are we not allowed to be represented?
00:24:27.380We're not even allowed to be represented in our own countries, much less movie roles or parts.
00:24:37.920Ideas like The Great Replacement, which is the perfect marriage, really, between Islamophobic racism, anti-Semitism and white nationalism, because the theory goes that there is a sort of Zionist conspiracy to breed out white people.
00:24:57.620The white British population has decreased by 600,000, while the minority population has increased by 1.2 million.
00:25:23.000But the core ideology is the belief in the imminent extinction of the white race because of a flood of non-white people and other people that they feel are degenerate, all orchestrated, puppeteered by Jews.
00:25:37.280All orchestrated, puppeteered by Jews.
00:25:41.820Some choice screenshots for you guys here.
00:27:05.180White supremacist theory that Jews are driving for, quote, open borders to replace, to commit white genocide, as they call it, to replace America, as it looks today, with Muslims and Mexicans and other people.
00:27:18.800Jews are the ones who want to welcome refugees because it's a conspiracy.
00:27:22.920And the truth is that, yes, there are Jews in Pittsburgh who are working to resettle refugees.
00:53:28.640The Facebook whistleblower, Francis Hagen or Hagen, uh, 60 minutes piece all over the place.
00:53:36.560It's, it's, you know, there's like a cascading event, uh, you know, avalanche, I guess around, uh, around Facebook here over the last few days where basically you had this whistleblower coming out.
00:53:52.640Then you had the hack, uh, actually it's not, well, it, it's maybe still loud in the open, but at least officially they've said, oh, we did, it was a self-inflicted wound.
00:54:03.860They kind of claim in a way, right? Of the, uh, was it the DNS tables or something?
00:54:08.720It was like, they were trying to upgrade their routers and stuff, which, you know, allegedly destroyed the traffic to the domain and stuff.
00:54:15.680But Instagram went down, Facebook went down, WhatsApp went down, but apparently a lot of other, um, services were having issues at the time as well.
00:54:22.800It's kind of the lead up to that, like cyber polygon event.
00:54:25.420There's some rumors about this, uh, but we'll get to more on that later.
00:54:28.140Let's, let's listen to this a little bit.
00:54:29.660But the, uh, uh, wonderful, uh, interview here, uh, with the whistle, the whistleblower, total gay off.
00:54:40.420That is a fact that Facebook has been anxious to know since last month when an anonymous former employee filed complaints with federal law enforcement.
00:54:50.400The complaints say Facebook's own research shows that it amplifies hate, misinformation, and political unrest, but the company hides what it knows.
00:55:01.780One complaint alleges that Facebook's Instagram harms teenage girls.
00:55:06.400What makes Haugen's complaints unprecedented is the trove of private Facebook research she took when she quit in May.
00:55:15.860The documents appeared first last month in the Wall Street Journal.
00:55:20.160But tonight, Frances Haugen is revealing her identity to explain why she became the Facebook whistleblower.
00:55:34.040Why do you upload that to YouTube, 60 Minutes?
00:55:35.600The thing I saw at Facebook over and over again was there were conflicts of interest between what was good for the public and what was good for Facebook.
00:55:44.800And Facebook over and over again chose to optimize for its own interests, like making more money.
00:55:49.840Frances Haugen is 37, a data scientist from Iowa, with a degree in computer engineering and a Harvard master's degree in business.
00:55:59.640For 15 years, she's worked for companies including Google and Pinterest.
00:56:04.120I've seen a bunch of social networks, and it was substantially worse at Facebook than anything I'd seen before.
00:56:09.780You know, someone else might have just quit and moved on.
00:56:15.280Imagine you know what's going on inside of Facebook, and you know no one on the outside knows.
00:56:19.960I knew what my future looked like if I continued to stay inside of Facebook, which is person after person after person has tackled this inside of Facebook and ground themselves to the ground.
00:56:31.580When and how did it occur to you to take all of these documents out of the company?
00:56:35.540At some point in 2021, I realized, okay, I'm going to have to do this in a systemic way, and I have to get out enough that no one can question that this is real.
00:56:46.640She secretly copied tens of thousands of pages of Facebook internal research.
00:56:52.860She says evidence shows that the company is lying to the public about making significant progress against hate, violence, and misinformation.
00:57:08.440So, but, you know, none of this, of course, is any news.
00:57:12.620But it's, we've covered some of this, that this relentless attack by progressives and leftists on Facebook that are trying to pretend that basically Facebook is a safe haven for, you know, right-wing conspiracies and nutjobs and QAnon.
00:57:31.140And even to this day, it's like there's no one being banned.
00:57:35.520Look at the top stories on Facebook, you know.
00:57:37.420And then it's like boomer sources, like, you know, Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, Dan Bongino, there's at the very top and stuff like that, right?
00:57:46.560And, you know, and yes, there's shadow boosting, there's shadow, you know, banning and, you know, things like that.
00:57:53.560Oh, you know, obviously kind of thing, right?
00:57:56.840But, of course, they're looking out for making money.
00:58:00.200This is, you know, not a big secret, but they're trying to make it seem that there is like this Facebook.
00:58:08.880Facebook is this huge, big enemy against the liberal world order, essentially.
00:58:13.780And there's this massive problem, and we have to take control of it.
00:58:17.400That's basically what they're trying to do here.
00:58:19.800They're trying to get the government to come in, step in, whether that's, you know, breaking up the company or opening up the secret so we can understand it more or whatever.
00:58:27.620And they're trying to pretend that there's like anything goes on Facebook or Facebook hasn't done anything about all these problems.
00:59:17.200But basically, I mean, none of this is news.
00:59:22.260But for some reason, which is the interesting part here, it's are there the consequent hack or, if you want, then the downtime, at least, of Facebook that happened?
00:59:31.640Was that a self-inflicted wound to draw attention away from this and to make, you know, as soon as there was Facebook in the news, it was about the downtime, the shutdown of the service as opposed to this?
00:59:47.480Was it someone that actually, like, did something to them and said, you better obey?
00:59:51.640If you're going to be part of our little club here, if you're going to be part of it, you can't have even as benign and as, you know, unradical, I'm not sure what the word is, as sources as they do, you know, have many times at the top of Facebook, right?
01:00:10.360Of like, yeah, the Dan Bongino's, Ben Shapiro, all these people are the same usual suspect, right?
01:00:14.620There's a, was it Diamond and Silk, you know, these kinds of things are always, like, trending on Facebook and stuff.
01:00:26.380And they need to make sure that that's censored, that that's removed.
01:00:29.400Like, if we're going to approach this corporate citizenship kind of world that's happening here soon, you know, Facebook has their own Supreme Court, right?
01:01:02.560But this whistleblower thing is just cringe, like they're trying to do some Project Veritas here on 60 Minutes or something.
01:01:07.940One study she found from this year says, we estimate that we may action as little as three to five percent of hate and about six-tenths of one percent of violence and incitement on Facebook, despite being the best in the world at it.
01:01:25.660To quote from another one of the documents you brought out, we have evidence from a variety of sources that hate speech, divisive political speech, and misinformation on Facebook and the family of apps are affecting societies around the world.
01:01:44.240When we live in an information environment that is full of angry, hateful, polarizing content, it erodes our civic trust, it erodes our faith in each other, it erodes our...
01:01:55.820Again, as bad as it is on Facebook, this isn't an issue on Facebook, but they're pretending because there's a couple of boomers still on Facebook with a couple of memes, which these people haven't approved, and it's a virtual holocaust to these people.
01:02:08.580This is causing, I think, hey, the hate speech is out of control, and they're boosting it on Facebook.
01:02:12.920They're trying to, anyway, it's just, I don't know, they're trying to act like this is what's destroyed.
01:02:22.780Just because they're being competed out of existence on the most mundane level, you know, boomer memes that still circulate on Facebook, they need for that to stop.
01:02:38.960Every single avenue of information needs to be controlled.
01:02:41.920And maybe there's a couple of things that slips through here and there or something on Facebook.
01:02:46.200But for the most part, I mean, basically, anything that's of some value in terms of the critique of a modern society is not even a lot on Facebook anymore.
01:02:55.500So I'm not sure what they're complaining at, but apparently it's not good enough.
01:02:58.880Ability to want to care for each other.
01:03:01.960The version of Facebook that exists today is tearing our societies apart and causing ethnic violence.
01:06:39.820They're asking you to serve up shit you don't care about.
01:06:43.360And, of course, things that is engaging are things that are at the forefront of, like, societal discussion for the most part or something important.
01:06:49.940I mean, yes, of course, sometimes it's just, you know, nonsense, celebrity bullshit and stuff.
01:06:53.400But what they're concerned with here is basically, you know, pushback, like things that exposes them or things that they don't like to see, things which, you know, puts a different spin on their narrative or something like that.
01:07:06.380That's what they're complaining on, if we're honest about this here.
01:07:10.440It's something that these people do not agree with that they think should be banned and censored.
01:07:15.760And eventually, they had to remove all the interesting channels and all the interesting content creators and people to get a sanitized version, if you will.
01:07:23.060And now, of course, everyone goes to Odyssey, they go to BitChute, they go to GabTV, they go to even Rumble and places like that because YouTube is just boring.
01:07:30.160And that's, you know, I mean, in a way, it's good.
01:07:31.940Like, I hope this destroys Facebook, I hope they reform it in such a way and that people walk away.
01:07:37.700I'm not, like, trying to defend Facebook here or anything.
01:07:39.680Everything that's happening to them, they completely deserve because they've already, you know, they've already started banning and censoring everybody, essentially.
01:07:47.920They have a grudge because there was a couple of memes shared on Facebook that they don't like.
01:07:53.120One of the consequences of how Facebook is picking out that content today is it is optimizing for content that gets engagement or reaction.
01:08:02.100But its own research is showing that content that is hateful, that is divisive, that is polarizing, it's easier to inspire people to anger than it is to other emotions.
01:09:27.040Don't let them be on the social media.
01:09:29.100If that's like, they talk about something about like anorexia or something was an issue.
01:09:34.380And of course, there's some beauty standard that's not unrealistic or something like that.
01:09:39.040But think about the flip side of their countermeasure to this, which is basically, yeah, you can be a land whale and it's beautiful.
01:09:44.880And like, no one, none of these girls are being done a service here by either side, to be honest.
01:09:49.920First, Virginian Drifter says, Facebook embeds demon cookies in your browser, prostitutes your data to third parties and bans you if you even remotely post something that defends white people.
01:10:00.220It's only keeping alive, kept alive by boomers.
01:10:25.700Haugen says Facebook understood the danger to the 2020 election, so it turned on safety systems to reduce misinformation.
01:10:35.000But many of those changes, she says, were temporary.
01:10:38.560And as soon as the election was over, they turned them back off, or they changed the settings back to what they were before, to prioritize growth over safety.
01:10:46.560And that really feels like a betrayal of democracy to me.
01:10:50.180I'm sorry, let me pause on that for a second.
01:11:05.660They're trying to hoodwink people into thinking, well, it's a democracy.
01:11:08.560Well, this is kind of, you're saying, silencing people on platforms, social media platforms, must be done so we can preserve democracy.
01:11:17.200But there's no more Orwellian language that's been imposed over the last couple of years of how they're trying to justify the silencing of certain opinions to, in their view, keep the peace, essentially.
01:11:28.260That if we do let people speak freely, and then they always bring up the flow, well, we are very concerned with free speech, of course.
01:11:35.920You know, Facebook still talks about that.
01:11:37.240Oh, we can still have free debate on here, of course.
01:11:40.680They block anything that's remotely even interesting, something that even could do an accurate assessment, an analysis of the situation we're finding ourselves in right now.
01:11:51.820And then they have the audacity to go to gaslight you into thinking that they're somehow concerned with, like, discourse or anything like that.
01:13:46.300Isn't the issue of they want engagement?
01:13:49.220They would literally, again, I'm fine with that, but they would literally kill themselves if they stop pushing posts that people find engaging and interesting, right?
01:13:58.740It's just basic survival instinct here.
01:14:02.820It's like, well, I mean, I know it's surely in the woke era that we're in right now,
01:14:07.460they expect companies to run at a loss for the sake of pushing, you know, dildos on kids, basically.
01:14:14.180I know that that's the expectation that they have these days, right?
01:14:18.540I guess the only difference here then is Zuckerberg is still greedy enough to let certain minor little issues slide or something.
01:14:26.160And that's the big, that's the problem here.
01:14:28.220...tentially amplifies the worst of human nature.
01:14:30.440It's one of these unfortunate consequences, right?
01:14:34.020No one at Facebook is malevolent, but the incentives are misaligned, right?
01:14:38.240Like Facebook makes more money when you consume more content.
01:14:42.400People enjoy engaging with things that elicit an emotional reaction.
01:14:47.180And the more anger that they get exposed to, the more they interact and more they consume.
01:14:51.800That dynamic led to a complaint to Facebook by nature.
01:14:55.940But when you are outraged about things or when you get angry about things that, you know,
01:15:01.580again, to use their discourse that some boomer GOP person did or something,
01:39:48.980I mean, these are the integral part of controlling the discourse and managing information, being part of the information war and blocking certain things from becoming known and things like that, right?
01:39:59.620So there's some kind of, I'm not sure if this is a little internal strife or issue here, right?
01:40:05.340Or what this is about, but it's very interesting.
01:40:07.560But I think at some point, they're going to try to clamp down on any remaining little voices that you do have left.
01:40:17.120And that's probably part of what they're doing here, to be honest.
01:40:19.700It's probably pretty basic and straightforward what they're doing.
01:40:46.440Given the scope of their ambitions, our dependence on them, behemoth brands should be treated and held to account for what they really are, commercial superpowers.
01:40:59.220So this is, you know, a while ago I did this segment, how they're going to become nations, these big corporations.
01:41:05.460And that's basically where this is going.
01:41:07.940You're going to be, you know, if you're still not banned from these companies, you'll be, you'll be a, remember there was a rollerball 1970s kind of classic movie.
01:41:15.640Everyone was on drugs and they're all like watching like some kind of, you know, Roman, what do you call it?
01:41:43.720It's going to be, it's going to become a nation state, right?
01:41:46.900Here's some other things that happen, more part of the Operation Polygon lead up the intensified, you know, we've talked about issues with internet security and attacks and hacks and all that kind of stuff.
01:42:02.700Hackers apparently stole and then published the source code for Twitch in a huge hack.
01:42:11.160These days, corporate hacks seems like a nearly daily occurrence with only the biggest and most damaging ones making headlines, whether it's ransomware attack or the good old-fashioned exploit, were attracting more than cursory attention from the press.
01:42:22.900But Wednesday's hack of Twitch, the streaming service owned by Amazon, has come with a hilarious twist.
01:54:12.020So here's Keith Olbermann coming to the conclusion that the only reason why the anti-vaxxers will not take the experimental mRNA jab is because they are afraid.
