“Or violent speeches. Or violent speech, yeah So, with that said, just last week we announced this new we're creating a. In fact, I'll tell you a story. You saw this a few weeks ago, there were accounts about how folks were using the ad platforms. I think ProPublica broke this, the ad platforms to target Jews or target blacks.”

“Or spam In our first two years of working, when I came on board two years ago, I immediately cranked this up We created a cyber hate working group. Many of the big companies work with us on it. And we work on things, we've worked on things like terms of use. And how to develop in terms of use or terms of service that will keep out. You have to allow for some degree of hate speech. Hate speech is free speech. Like it or not, you can say mean things. But hateful speech is different than harmful speech. Right? It's one thing to say, I don't like Jews and say, I want to kill them all And it can be a bit of a gray line, I'll acknowledge. But the First Amendment isn't supposed to allow for harmful speech.”

“Actually, we mentioned him already twice today. Piero Omidyar. I was at South by that this past year? And announced that we're opening a new center on technology and society in Silicon Valley. Actually, we're rolling it out next month in November in Palo Alto. Pierre gave us the seed capital to fund this thing. An Iranian American never involved with ADL, but he cares deeply about free speech. He's worried about fake news. He's worried about kind of the cyber hate. So he gave us the seed capital.”

“Exactly. You're probably right. But if you think about that investor relations deck every quarter, you want to have user growth going in the right direction.

We've now found them much more willing to work with us.”

“Right. One of the core metrics. It goes against every user growth. Exactly. We talked about this about Twitter is that if they turn off the bullying perfectly, their user grows drops. But it's already dropping. Because they create an atmosphere that's so vile and poisonous that dies anyway. So it's a really kind of a fascinating.”

“Yeah, I think, look, at an individual level, I've been blessed to meet lots of executives, and they're absolutely good people. I think what happens is that when you grow at a degree of scale, the individuals kind of desires get overtaken by the borg, you know? And so What I think is that these companies now realize they've sort of crossed a Rubicon. They realize their size and their penetration in all segments of society now has the attention, not only of journalists. Is it Farad who's been writing about what do you call it the Frightful Five or something like that? He used that phrase for a while. Now regulators are looking at it”

“So, how do you, when you go out there, since you do speak their language, you've been working with them, get their attention on this, because I think this is a really critical issue, is that they're very slow to want to do anything about this. What is the reason for it from your perspective? Because they see themselves as again benign and good people, which they are not benign, but good for sure. I mean, I don't think they're sitting there thinking, oh, I'll just let anything goes on my platform. They're definitely worried and concerned about it.”

“Stakeholder issue, sort of a small group of activists. Expresses a concern and it's a marginal issue. And you deal with it out of the CSR office. It's kind of a nice to have. Shareholder issue is when you deal with it out of the investor relations office, and it's an absolute must.”

“Maybe And part of the reason they said was concern about the liability on the platform. I think in part that was because the report that we released. And so here's what happened there.

“So by the same token, it's fair to say that Facebook and Twitter and Google could do a better job of ensuring that they preserve freedom of speech, but they also protect the safety of all their users. They are trying to make inroads now. They realize they have a problem. And I'll tell you a story. Last year with Twitter, I heard from people you know, journalists broadcast in print, who would interview me, and then afterwards they would say, I'm worried about the anti-Semitic abuse being launched at me. I said, what do you mean? We organized a task force to look at this last year And we pulled some sample Twitter data. We found millions and millions and millions of anti-Semitic messages, tens of thousands of messages directed specifically at Jewish journalists.”

“Well, it may be like Ateelian libertarian ethos, right? Where it's like anything goes and it'll be good and just get the government's government away and we'll innovate our way to utopia. We both know that human nature doesn't exactly work necessarily work that way. And we shouldn't be surprised that extremists exploit new media. The Nazis did it with triumph of the will and using film as ways to propagandize. The Soviets did it with Pravda and using print media to kind of influence people. So we shouldn't be surprised that extremists today”

“That's being perpetrated around, especially the negative information. I still think it's their fault. You know what I mean? But it is, though, because I think one of the things they put out is one, they built systems where they didn't anticipate this. That's right. And two, they act like it's a benign platform. I've been saying this a lot. They act like, oh, it's a benign. It's only for good. And they don't, I'll never forget the thing with some Facebook executives talking about Facebook Live. And I said, when's the first hate crime on it? And they were like, what are you talking about? And I was like, you haven't thought about this? Like, maybe you have, maybe you haven't. Why haven't you done it?”

“It's over 2 billion members. So the last data I heard was more than four and a half billion messages across the platform every day. And if you include WhatsApp, I mean, the numbers are astounding.

“And if you had the plugin, the plugin would search for names on a webpage. And if Jewish names showed up that were from a database or names that had previously identified and entered, it would put the parentheses around it for you. So you could easily identify the Jews in a news story, for example. So it would say by Jake Tapper parentheses around it, by Walt Mossberg parentheses around it. So we identified that and we went to Google and we actually also went to Apple and got them to take it out of their stores, the plugin basically. But I say this because these things get created and Google and Facebook and Twitter, they themselves can't keep up with it.”

“So basically, white supremacists wanted to identify Jews. I think the Jews are behind all the evils of the world. So they created this meme where they would put parentheses around the names of Jews to demonstrate how we quote unquote echo through history. By the way, they would put it on Jews or people who they thought were Jewish. And they built kind of a plug-in for the Chrome browser so that you could, I guess it worked on Firefox too, so you could pull up a website.”

“And so, part of the challenge becomes when again Twitter and Facebook, let's be frank, they themselves can't keep up with the technology. So, one of the things we did last year with Google was we exposed the parentheses meme. Do you remember that?”

“So there's no more breaks. There's no more filters. That's a big part of the problem. And they've learned how to exploit that effectively. So we watch this during the 2016 campaign. We watched where when I say we watched it, our center on extremism tracks the right-wing extremists, the left-wing radicals. We track all of them. And we could see things start in an 8-chan or 4-chan or Reddit where a lot of these memes actually get developed. And we watch them send them out to particular voices on Twitter or DM them or send them privately. And then those voices consistently would start to propagate this stuff. And then people like the Trump campaign would pick it up and retweet it. So you could see there was a through line between certain white supremacist and extremist accounts and how things ended up in the public domain.”

“And I think one of the things that's happened is these platforms like Facebook, like Twitter, and many others have emerged without the kind of filters and the sort of systems, the checks in the systems that you have in... In broader parts of media like newspapers, which we were talking about before we started taping, are broadcast. The fact of the matter is journalism as an industry has an ethos. And people go to school for it and they get trained in it. There is no ethos on social media, right? And that creates the conditions in which you can get your message out very directly to people. And it plays into, again, we all have these cell phones in our hands, which connect us directly into like the matrix.”

“So, talk about how they do this. Because it's something, and then I want to talk about how to fight that, how do you fight that, or if it's possible to even fight it, they finally get a voice is what you're talking about, the concept of the internet was started with the idea that everybody gets a voice now, isn't this great? Isn't this great for democracy? Isn't this great for all people because there's been gatekeepers? Yeah, totally.”

“That creates the conditions in which extremism can really feel emboldened. Now, social media, Twitter in particular helps to accelerate and amplify that. And so you see it as a bit of an echo chamber. And whether we want to talk about trolls or we want to talk about sort of bots and cyborgs or whatever the causality there, social media has become really this echo chamber where the things we hear from top really reverberate and they resonate with parts of the of the community that again, white supremacists, it isn't that they haven't been around. They've always been around. They've always been bigots, but they've had to literally convene in cornfields”

“Nearly a thousand incidents of harassment, vandalism, and violence. Just against Jews when you add in the spike we've seen against Muslims and Mexicans, it's really extremely alarming. So when we talk about, well, why are things jacked up? It is. It is difficult to explain why the president would choose to focus his Twitter feed more on NFL players demonstrating their First Amendment rights versus white supremacists. Who literally have murdered several people over the course of this year, an Indian immigrant in Kansas City, two innocent bystanders in Portland, Oregon, an African-American ROTC student right here in the D.C. area? It's hard to understand how you can equivocate.”

“Around Muslims, Mexicans, and immigrants of all variety issues, if you will, of tolerance and extremism. And we saw a mainstreaming and along of sort of white nationalists into the room in a way we had not seen since George Wallace in the 60s. Of course, George Wallace didn't win the White House. And indeed, after the election day in the last two months of 2016, we saw a massive spike in hate crimes and bias incidents directed at Jews, again, Muslims, Mexicans, and immigrants in general. And it was really very alarming. And this is the data. Again, there's nothing political in pointing out the fact that that spike happened and it continued in the first half of this year. We saw in the first half of 2017. 76% increase in bias incidences against Jews compared to the first half of last year.”

“They had this audacious, frankly, it's a very Jewish idea. We'll fight for ourselves, but also fight for others. So, over the next hundred years, they tore down a lot of those quotas, exposed a lot of those practices, they made America a better place for the Jewish community. And in the early 50s, like in 52, they filed in a Micus brief in Brownby Board of Education. Was a bold, controversial thing to do. And they literally put people on those buses, the Freedom Rider buses, and they march with Dr. King, and they stood up for the LGBTQ community in the 80s. I've heard these stories when people were afraid that gay men, you could catch AIDS from someone sneezing on you. ADL stood up for them.”

“So that's a very interesting mission statement because 100 years ago the Jews, again, not only was their pervasive anti-Semitism, quotas kept them out of many universities, customs kept them out of many professions. Covenants didn't let them live in many places, so they didn't really have any of the political power, economic resources the community has today. They don't really have a leg to stand on. So it was a bold proposition that they would be out for themselves. But also justice and fair treatment to all. Like again, based on their future was very uncertain. They were very weak.”

“So the ADO was founded in 1913 around the time that Leo Frank was lynched outside of Atlanta. It's a famous story, Jewish man falsely accused of a crime, found guilty, sentenced to death. The governor commutes his sentence because it clearly was a sham trial to life imprisonment. The mob is so enraged they hang him from a tree. And the ADLs found at that time when anti-Semitism is prevalent along with racism, et cetera. And the founders create this organization. And in their own words, they write a mission statement that the organization will, quote, work to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and secure justice and fair treatment to all, end quote.”
