1
There's been much debate this past year about freedom of speech and social media.
2
We should err on the side of greater expression.
3
They are literally spreading lies, misinformation, propaganda.
4
Companies that engage in censoring or any political conduct will not be able to keep their liability shield.
5
The dilemma, should social media companies censor speech that they deem to be hateful or violent or false?
6
Or should they keep it up in the spirit of freedom of speech?
7
And what happens when the speaker is an elected official?
8
I believe that we have two responsibilities.
9
To remove content when it can cause real danger as effectively as we can,
10
and to fight to uphold as wide of a definition of freedom of expression as possible.
11
Of course, the First Amendment doesn't legally apply to Facebook or to Twitter or to Instagram or YouTube.
12
It was written solely to stop the government,
13
not private companies, from censoring speech.
14
The debate has intensified due to one particular post from President Donald Trump,
15
When the looting starts, the shooting starts.
16
Twitter placed a warning label on the tweet saying it glorified violence.
17
Facebook did nothing.
18
You could say that you're all for free speech,
19
but you also need to protect society,
20
especially when you're in the position Facebook is in.
21
Mark Zuckerberg would say that he is standing for a democratic principle
22
which is freedom of expression and he says
23
that you know a private company like his who is he
24
a billionaire to to be able to you know in some way restrict the speech of the president of the United States.
25
Do you buy that argument?
26
I do not.
27
I think that that argument is entirely in Mark Zuckerberg's profit interest.
28
I think what we're seeing is Mark Zuckerberg is saying,
29
you know, I don't want to rile up the president.
30
I don't want to invite regulatory action.
31
I don't want to tick off the president's following, which also uses Facebook.
32
And, you know, I don't want to alienate them from my own platform
33
because that will detract from my own revenue and engagement on my own platform.
34
But those who argue Facebook should operate in the spirit of free speech say it's a slippery slope to remove
35
or even to fact check political speech.
36
Where would you draw a line if you were Facebook when it comes to a Trump post?
37
So I think that Facebook cordons off a couple of very narrow areas which are wise to
38
shut down and that is things like misleading speech about elections themselves.
39
If Trump posted Hey everyone,
40
go vote on election day on this date,
41
and it was the wrong date.
42
I think that's reasonable to take down because it is timely and also obviously misleading.
43
For things like hate speech,
44
I think that people should know if the president is using hate speech.
45
You don't think that Facebook should be fact-checking political ads?
46
I don't trust Facebook to do a good job fact-checking political ads.
47
A lot of political claims are tricky, are difficult to fact-check check.
48
A lot of them are true but misleading.
49
These are the kind of categories that the American people needs to hear a full debate about,
50
not Mark Zuckerberg's idea of what the debate should be about.
51
But in fact much of the philosophical debate about freedom of speech and social media has been just that, philosophical.
52
In practice Facebook has taken down political posts.
53
It took down an ad run by the Trump campaign,
54
Twitter has labeled the president's tweets,
55
and all the major platforms have rules restricting posts containing nudity.
56
Facebook's been taking this kind of stuff down that entire time,
57
and now all of a sudden it's an issue.
58
Why is that happening?
59
And you hear conservative bias,
60
but it's actually not conservative bias.
61
They've been taking down that same type of hate speech since 2008,
62
2009, and there's just more of that type of hate speech.
63
The speech of Trump and his party has like come to the rule.
64
It is not that they have all of a sudden changed the rules to be biased against conservatives.
65
I think people who genuinely believe that,
66
you know, private companies should not in any way interfere with anything a politician is saying,
67
no matter how objectionable it might be.
68
Do you think that there is an argument there?
69
That is a valid argument.
70
That yes, if you're Mark Zuckerberg,
71
It makes sense to say that,
72
look, if I start moderating content,
73
I'm going to invite a discussion over the regulatory terms that be,
74
over my company, over content moderation.
75
And to that I would say, well, let's welcome that.
76
Because I think the time is ripe to have an open discussion about what's right in this society and what's wrong,
77
especially when we have such a dirty and noisy media environment thanks to Facebook.
78
In a blog post, Facebook said the responsibility to fact check political ads shouldn't be left to private companies,
79
writing, The sooner Facebook and other companies are subject to democratically accountable rules on this, the better.
80
But in the meantime, ahead of the 2020 election,
81
Facebook announced it is allowing users to opt out of political ads.
82
For some critics though, the question remains, is it enough?

Praticar a fala a partir de vídeos do YouTube é uma maneira eficaz de aprender inglês, pois proporciona um contexto rico e autêntico. Neste vídeo, a discussão sobre a censura em mídias sociais aborda temas contemporâneos que são relevantes e instigantes. Ao se envolver com esse conteúdo, você não só melhora seu vocabulário e compreensão auditiva, mas também desenvolve habilidades críticas de argumentação em inglês.

Utilizar vídeos como este para aprender inglês com YouTube permite a prática de shadow speech, onde você pode repetir as falas após o orador, aprimorando sua pronúncia e fluência. Além disso, ao ouvir diversos pontos de vista sobre um tema polêmico, você ganha confiança para expressar suas próprias opiniões em inglês.

Gramática & Expressões em Contexto

No vídeo, várias estruturas gramaticais e expressões são utilizadas, que podem ser chave para melhorar seu domínio da língua:

  • "Should social media companies censor speech..." - A construção "should" é comum na formação de perguntas e sugestões, sendo útil para discutir obrigações e aconselhamentos.
  • "It can cause real danger..." - A expressão "can cause" destaca a habilidade ou possibilidade, essencial para discutir riscos e consequências.
  • "I believe that we have two responsibilities." - Esta estrutura de opinião é perfeita para formar argumentos, permitindo que você expresse seu ponto de vista de maneira clara.
  • "Where would you draw a line?" - A construção "would you draw" traz uma forma condicional que pode ser aplicada ao discutir situações hipotéticas.
  • "It’s a slippery slope..." - Essa expressão idiomática pode ser utilizada em debates para indicar que uma pequena ação pode levar a consequências indesejadas.

Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia

Embora o conteúdo do vídeo seja acessível, é importante prestar atenção em algumas palavras e expressões que podem ser desafiadoras na pronúncia:

  • "Censor" e "censorship" - Ambas as palavras apresentam sons que podem ser difíceis para falantes não nativos. A sílaba tônica está na primeira parte da palavra.
  • "Propaganda" - A pronúncia pode variar entre o inglês britânico e o americano, mas um erro comum é a ênfase incorreta nas sílabas.
  • "Misinformation" - Esta palavra longa pode ser um desafio para pronunciar rapidamente. Pratique a divisão em sílabas: "mis-in-for-ma-tion".

Ao utilizar essas dicas e praticar com vídeos, você pode evoluir em sua capacidade de comunicar-se em inglês. Explore também o shadowing site para exercícios adicionais e práticas de shadowspeaks, que ajudam a solidificar seu aprendizado com a repetição e imitação de falantes nativos.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
