The Chase Files Daily Newscap 1/21/2019

Good MORNING #realdreamchasers! Here is The Chase Files Daily News Cap for Monday 21st January 2019. Remember you can read full articles for FREE via Barbados Today (BT) or Barbados Government Information Services (BGIS) OR by purchasing by purchasing a Daily Nation Newspaper (DN).

EMULATE BARROW – As Barbadians mark Errol Barrow Day today, they are being called upon to remember what the National Hero stood for, and to stamp that across the length and breadth of the island. The challenge was thrown out by Verla DePeiza, president of the Democratic Labour Party that Barrow founded, during a service at the St David’s Anglican Church yesterday to commemorate the life and work of Barrow. “What Errol Barrow means to the Democratic Labour Party, I don’t think any book can ever capture. What he means to this country will live on for generations to come. But what it should mean for each one of us is a motivation to dig deep within ourselves, and find a way that we too, can have a lasting impact on our society,” she told the congregation. She added the country was at a crossroad and asked the citizens to join with the party, which suffered a humiliating 30-0 defeat in last May’s General Election, as it worked to steer the nation back on the right path. (DN)

PSV BOSSES LET’S TALK – If a national consultation on transportation is ever called, the owners of public service vehicles (PSVs) say one of the items they want high on the agenda is the conversion to electric vehicles and its potential to transform the industry. Both Morris Lee and Roy Raphael welcomed the recent call from the Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados (CTUSAB) for a national consultation and review of the sector. In a media release last week, CTUSAB general secretary Dennis De Peiza said transportation was too important a plank in the social and economic well-being of a country and an efficient service was a necessity. He warned that over time, issues which emerged had called into question the management, regulation, coordination, policing and efficiency of the system, and if ignored, could create a “national crisis”. Chairman of the Alliance Owners of Public Transport (AOPT), Roy Raphael, said they had also called for a consultation because they wanted their voice to be heard and were too important to be left out. (DN)

A 'VERY GOOD' YEAR FOR TOURISM, SAYS SYMMONDS – Minister of Tourism and International Transport, Kerrie Symmonds says the tourism industry’s end of year results for 2018 were “very good”. But he warns that gun violence can possibly put a damper on the sector. Symmonds, who was speaking with members of the media on the sidelines of a reception for repeat visitors held at the Gun Hill Signal Station, revealed that the shooting in St Lawrence Gap last year could have left a bad impression on the visitors who witnessed it. “Tourism is our business. Running about the street with a gun and shooting one another over foolishness is unacceptable! We have to spend long hours working on something that we shouldn’t spend long hours working on because we have to try to contain the fallout of every instance when that happens,” said Symmonds. He pointed out that the marketing point of the island’s tourism sector of cleanliness, friendliness and safety was in a bind. He stressed that the threat to the island’s safety needed to be wrestled to the ground. “We will destroy the Barbados economy if it is that we have people shooting one another because somebody get horn or because somebody’s girlfriend chose to be with another man. We have to come to an understanding that every time this happens we are losing a massive amount of not only money but our reputation is taking a massive hit out there.” Symmonds also revealed that the recently established Cruise Development Commission will soon be providing a final audit of the ports of entry and overall visitor experience. “ I think we have to sit with the people in the craft sector as a whole . . . I have told the BTMI (Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc) that we have to have an opportunity to bring all the craft vendors in Bridgetown onto Trevor’s Way on a Friday night. Bring with them the music and the food and we have an opportunity for visitors to experience Bridgetown by night.” He argued that competitors across the region were creating opportunities for visitors to experience culture and the arts and Barbados could not afford to be satisfied with its current product while the industry was constantly transforming. (BT)

OPPOSITION TEAM COVERING ALL BASES – Opposition Leader Bishop Joseph Atherley presented his official Opposition Spokespersons Team earlier today. He stressed that it was not the launch of a political party, but said that would come in due course. This new team includes several familiar faces who ran in the 2018 General Election under the Solutions Barbados and United Progressive Party (UPP) banners. Thirteen members were announced today with three more to be announced at a later date. The following is the list of team members and the portfolios that they will speak on. Irwin Belgrave – Home Affairs related matters; Rev. John Carter – Agriculture, food security and maritime economy; Dr Philip Corbin – Energy, water resources, telecommunications; Akil Daley – Youth and small business facilitation; Senator Crystal Drakes – Economic, sustainable development and climate change; Paul Forte – Housing, property ownership works and maintenance; Senator Caswell Franklyn – Labour, social security, corporatives and civil establishments; Paul Gibson – Health, wellness services development and environment; Sylvan Greenidge – Transportation, sanitation and sewage service; Bruce Hennis – Internal business and trade, manufacturing and commerce; Maria Philips – Justice, law enforcement, penal system; Alan Springer – Creative economy and sports industry development; Scott Weatherhead – Tourism, regional and international transport. (DN)

EDGEHILL FOLK SHAKEN – The latest accident along Edgehill, St Thomas, has left some residents counting their lucky stars and one with a sleepless night. Shortly after 2 a.m on Sunday, people living in an apartment complex near the bend of the steep slope were rudely awakened when a minibus crashed into the building. It is understood three of the six passengers reported injuries and were taken by ambulance to hospital. The minibus was reportedly coming from a bus crawl when the brakes apparently failed. Up to press time police reports were not forthcoming, but some eyewitnesses said the minibus flipped at least once after striking a utility pole, before coming to rest outside the bedroom of a tenant, who recounted her experience. “I was sleeping and then I heard a funny noise, then a crash and the building shook. That got me right up out my bed. I made sure everybody was good and then I called the police,” she said. (DN)

JONES SMASHES FORDE’S 400M INDOOR RECORD – Jonathan Jones has taken his record-breaking track feats to the United States. Jones’ fast start to his collegiate career continued on Friday when he shattered the Barbados national 400 metres indoor record on the first day of the Clemson Invitational. The University of Texas freshman, who was named BIG 12 Conference Male Athlete Of The Week for his dazzling debut triumph at the Ted Nelson Invitational last week, won the 400 metres in an impressive 46.21 seconds from teammate Micaiah Harris (46.84). The time, which is third on the IAAF list this year, also surpassed the official national record of 46.34 previously set by Elvis Forde in 1987. However, another outstanding quarter-miler, Seibert Straughn, still has the fastest time ever recorded by a Barbadian. Straughn clocked 46.14 seconds at an oversized track in March 1991 while competing at a meet in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in the United States. Jones now has the second fastest time on the US collegiate circuit this season behind Guyanese Arinze Chance, who replaced him at the top of the NCAA rankings with his 46.15 clocking at the inaugural Gamecock meet. (DN)

Is Social Media Content Moderation An Impossible Task?

New Post has been published on https://britishdigitalmarketingnews.com/is-social-media-content-moderation-an-impossible-task/

Is Social Media Content Moderation An Impossible Task?

In the early freewheeling days of social media, companies gave little thought to content moderation, focusing all of their efforts on making it as easy as possible for anyone anywhere to post whatever they wanted, no matter how toxic. As the trolls settled in to their new home and hate and violent speech flowed, the ramifications of those decisions became clear and the companies faced increasing pressure from lawmakers to clean up their platforms. From the “free speech wing of the free speech party” that famously guaranteed the right of terrorists to use its tools to recruit and inspire violent attacks, Twitter has undergone a complete reversal of its views towards freedom of speech, with the new Twitter moving aggressively to censor and suspend voices. After years of arguing it simply cannot do more, the threat of new regulation has coincided with Facebook’s similarly aggressive new posture towards censorship. Yet, as the socials take on a newfound focus on global content moderation, is the very concept of enforcing a single set of content rules across the entire planet even an achievable goal?

The online world was created as a decentralized and completely ideologically neutral platform in which anyone anywhere could make anything available to the planet. Other than governmentally enforced court orders, there was no concept of “content moderation.” Even a court order demanding a given website remove a piece of content had limited impact, as that content could instantly reappear on another website in a different country. Indeed, Wikileak’s very existence is due to the borderless collective that is the web.

As the web grew beyond its early academic roots towards the commercialized online landscape we know today, so too did the need for new tools to make it frictionless to publish, consume and discover content. Requiring advanced HTML expertise and Unix server administration to create a website was replaced with one-click instant publishing. Server hosting costs in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month was replaced with unlimited free ad-supported hosting. Yet, the discoverability dimension still haunted the early web. In an online world without boundaries and populated with an almost uncountable number of websites, content was so fragmented that even search engines could do little as material was scattered across myriad independent virtual home fronts.

The social media era solved this final limitation by centralizing the web into a single website with a single interface and single set of rules enforced globally.

Initially these shared rules were enforced loosely, if at all. Social media was more preoccupied with encouraging content volume than ensuring the quality of that material. Automated bot content was something to be encouraged and supported as it greatly inflated the volume of content available to advertisers and users. A desire to centralize the remaining corners of the web under their banners led social platforms to offer APIs and partnership programs that enabled bulk export of their data without consideration of the inherent privacy impacts. All of this placed profit over privacy.

The immense shift that has confronted the online world over the past few years has upended this Libertarian worldview and fetishization of the American First Amendment’s absolute guarantee of freedom of speech. In its place, the social platforms are discovering and exercising their power as private companies and their exemptions from the protections afforded by the First Amendment. Unlike public institutions, social platforms are private entities that are under no legal requirement to grant anyone the right to speak or participate in their walled gardens. This affords them the unique ability to both inject themselves as intermediaries between citizens and their governments and decide which voices may be heard.

Even the media itself has come to question whether free speech is a good thing, with a frontpage CNN story asking “what happened to the argument of free speech? The idea that anyone can say anything they like, as long as it doesn’t cause harm to someone else, is unraveling in the age of online fake news, alternative facts, trolling and conspiracy theories.”

As social media platforms step into this void and embrace the concept of active moderation, they have increasingly transitioned from minimal community standards that focused only on the most egregious behavior and were only loosely enforced towards elaborate policies that are being aggressively, but selectively enforced.

In their rush to embrace content moderation and censorship, the social media companies have each developed centralized systems that entail a single set of rules enforced globally.

While we simply accept that this is what the web has become, it is important to recognize that this is not the only possible option.

The web’s decentralized structure permitted it to transparently adapt to the differing cultural sensitivities of the world, enabling a person in the US to document Tiananmen Square, even while Chinese citizens are blocked from discussing it. While this enables repressive regimes to constrain what is available to their citizens, it also reflects the basic fact that humankind is not uniform. The seven billion people inhabiting Planet Earth are an immensely diverse collection of nearly every conceivable culture, language, demographic, life experience, views and beliefs.

The things we find important and those we find offensive vary by who we are – there is no universal “truth.”

In contrast, Facebook, Twitter and their Silicon Valley brethren have determined to create a single set of rules to be enforced globally to all. Much as humorists discover that a joke one person finds hilarious another may find horrifically offensive, when it comes to determining acceptable speech, it is impossible to find a single set of common ground rules that will fit the needs and desires of every person on earth.

As I’ve written extensively over the years, the world constitutes a rich patchwork quilt of cultural standards of what constitutes acceptable speech in each corner of the world and each demographic and attempting to unify all of those into a single master set of speech rules is doomed from the start.

Publicly Facebook has portrayed these global rules as empowering all with the protections and guarantees of the Western world. That by creating a single set of rules for all countries on earth, the company is able to grant to all citizens across the globe the American ideals of free speech.

Yet, in reality, the company appears to be going in the opposite direction. The realities of being a global business and subject to the laws and whims of all the world’s countries means social platforms have instead embarked upon a race to the bottom, developing policies that are in effect an amalgamation of the restrictions of every country on earth. Instead of empowering all the world with Western ideals of freedom, they are repressing all under the restrictions of the most limited countries on earth.

In contrast to Sheryl Sandberg’s upbeat Congressional testimony last week that the company would never sacrifice its ideals to do business in a country, the company’s own Transparency Reports document in considerable detail just how willing the company is to cave to local demands to censor uncomfortable voices.

Indeed, two years ago when I asked the company whether it would commit on the record to never restrict the right of women around the world to freely express themselves on its platform even if such restrictions would benefit it economically, the company notably declined to do so. For a company that professes to place empowerment and democratic ideals over all else, its refusal to commit to the freedoms that underlie such ideals speaks far louder than its words.

In the end, the problem is that there simply is no universal set of standards of acceptable speech that would cover the incredible diversity that is our global human society. No single set of rules or conduct could possibly fit the needs of every person. Our backgrounds, experiences, views and beliefs are simply too different across the world and our definitions of right and wrong too varied. To a privileged Western cubicle dweller in Silicon Valley, it might seem relatively trivial to type out a few lines of code to bend the rest of the world to their ideal view of life, but as they have failed to learn again and again, real life isn’t the Matrix and society will always find a way to bend technology to its needs and when profit and privacy, business and idealism collide, the path to economic riches will always win out.
