00:30The 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.
00:43And Facebook over and over again chose to optimize for its own interests, like making more money.
00:48The version of Facebook that exists today is tearing our societies apart.
00:55Facebook essentially amplifies the worst of human nature.
01:00It's one of these unfortunate consequences, right?
01:02No one at Facebook is malevolent, but the incentives are misaligned, right?
01:06Like Facebook makes more money when you consume more content.
01:11People enjoy engaging with things that elicit an emotional reaction.
01:15And the more anger that they get exposed to, the more they interact, the more they consume.
01:19Facebook has realized that if they change the algorithm to be safer, people will spend less time on the site,
01:27they'll click on less ads, they'll make less money.
01:30So glad to be here, don't you?
01:31Like, who do you think they can active well, but the answer might be easier to have, people.
