Let's see what you guys are asking. I mean, this is -- generally, one of the amazing things about Twitter is how you can use it for crowd wisdom,
讓我們看看你們在問什么。我覺得,這是——總體而言,推特的特點之一在于它能夠集中大眾智慧,
you know, that more knowledge, more questions, more points of view than you can imagine, and sometimes, many of them are really healthy.
推特上的知識,問題和觀點多得超乎你的想象。而且有時候,很多觀點意見質量都很高。
I think one I saw that passed already quickly down here, "What's Twitter's plan to combat foreign meddling in the 2020 US election?"
剛才我看到的這個很好,在下面,“在2020年美國大選中,推特準備采取什么措施對抗外國干涉?”
I think that's something that's an issue we're seeing on the internet in general, that we have a lot of malicious automated activity happening.

And on Twitter, for example, in fact, we have some work that's come from our friends at Zignal Labs,
用推特打個比方,來自齊格努實驗室的朋友給了我們一些資料,
and maybe we can even see that to give us an example of what exactly I'm talking about, where you have these bots, if you will, or
也許我們可以把這當做一個例子,來引出我想談論的這個問題,有很多機器人小號,或者
coordinated automated malicious account activity, that is being used to influence things like elections.

And in this example we have from Zignal which they've shared with us using the data that they have from Twitter,
在這個例子中,齊格努給我們分享了一些他們從推特上收集到的數據,
you actually see that in this case, white represents the humans -- human accounts, each dot is an account.
你能在這里看到,白色代表——人類賬號,每個點代表一個賬號,
The pinker it is, the more automated the activity is. And you can see how you have a few humans interacting with bots.
顏色越粉,說明這個賬號活動越像機器人。你能到看到有一些人與機器賬號互動,
In this case, it's related to the election in Israel and spreading misinformation about Benny Gantz,
在這里,互動內容是關于以色列選舉的,機器賬號散播關于本尼·甘茨的虛假信息,
and as we know, in the end, that was an election that Netanyahu won by a slim margin, and that may have been in some case influenced by this.
我們都知道,選舉的結果,最終內塔尼亞胡以微弱優勢獲勝,而這個結果可能被這些互動影響了。
And when you think about that happening on Twitter, what are the things that you're doing, specifically, to ensure you don't have
當你想到推特上的這些事情時,你正在采取具體什么措施,來保證
misinformation like this spreading in this way, influencing people in ways that could affect democracy?
類似的虛假信息不會傳播,影響他人,以致于影響民主制度呢?
