00:00In the midst of the continuous expansion of social media, the spreaders of fake news, like the trolls, have also spread.

00:14Some of them talked about the GMA Integrate News and told how they worked as spreaders of fake information.

00:22And that's what Mariz Umali is talking about in our debate against fake news.

00:31In the midst of the continuous expansion of social media, the spreaders of fake news, like the trolls, have also spread.

00:33In the midst of the continuous expansion of social media, the spreaders of fake news, like the trolls, have also spread.

00:37Do you know which is the truth and which is the fake news?

00:43Fake news is the fabrication of information that looks like the truth, but is far from the truth and is manipulated by the public.

00:51In a study conducted by Dr. Jonathan Old and Dr. Jason Cabañas, this started to become a hot topic in the Philippines during the 2016 elections.

01:00What we found was that it's more normalized for politicians to be doing digital operations.

01:07For some people, yes, it is explicitly political. They want to elect into office.

01:13And one of the most lucrative and most available jobs is digital operations.

01:20One of the deceived was the former graduate, Chris.

01:24He didn't have a real name.

01:26Because he was looking for a job in 2015, he jumped to the bright side.

01:33At first, he was just a moderator of a Facebook page that was used in the elections.

01:38Until...

01:39I just found out that I was going to work for a politician.

01:44Okay. What did he say you were going to do?

01:47At first, what he said was to monitor the comments, to destroy the comments, to block those who say it's not good.

01:56But in the end, we need to create content or posts that can destroy the opponent of our candidate.

02:04Chris didn't know back then that he was going to troll.

02:09Because the word troll was not yet known in 2015.

02:12It's very simple. The caption is ready, the pictures are ready, where you will post it, what time you will share it.

02:21How much salary did you have?

02:23I started with P17,000. We were paid in cash.

02:29What was the most severe thing you wrote?

02:31We accused a candidate of being a troll.

02:35Because our client's opponent is not proven to be a troll.

02:43This is where Chris slowly felt that there was something wrong.

02:47Every day, our boss pressures us to think that this can be thrown at the opponent.

02:54Even if it's not true, even if it's exaggerated.

02:59But you still beat him.

03:01Uhm... yes.

03:04I'm earning money, so why would I stop?

03:08It's already near the end.

03:10The hierarchy is simple.

03:11The hierarchy is the structure of a troll farm.

03:14The client or the one who benefits from disinformation is the boss.

03:19Next is the troll operator or consultant who is in charge of the entire operation.

03:25And they are the troll workers who spread misinformation using stolen identities

03:31that they usually get from other countries, particularly in Southeast Asia.

03:36There are bosses, and they won't ever call themselves a troll,

03:41but they are actually the real masterminds of the operations.

03:46They will dictate the talk points and the main kinds of stories

03:50that the influencers and fake account operators are instructed to share and spread on social media.

03:58In a job like this, Val is also not a real name.

04:04He was hired to be a digital operator, the country's best troll worker.

04:10But he didn't enroll as a candidate, but as a businessman.

04:14He has the competence of the company that hired him.

04:17We are trolls, ma'am.

04:19We steal from everyone.

04:21We use all the accounts.

04:22Because their service is really bad.

04:26Their system is corrupt.

04:29According to Chris and Val, it's easy for people to believe.

04:33What we noticed is that they sometimes exaggerate,

04:37and there are more likes and reacts.

04:40Topics that instill fear, anxiety, or resentment,

04:45these are the topics that are really attacked by trolls.

04:49And this is what they use to use as digital weapons, really,

04:55to steer the conversation, to draw people's attention.

05:00What's sad is that even politicians who are angry at fake news,

05:05are forced to use trolls.

05:07Now, even those who had tried to denounce disinformation and fake news,

05:13feel that they have to fight fire with fire these days.

05:16It's becoming more normalized.

05:18It's becoming more professionalized.

05:20It's more expected now that we also need to fight.

05:25We also need to become meme wars.

05:28But in the midst of spreading misinformation,

05:31we can still do something to fight fake news.

05:34We need to empower workers, empower our students,

05:38to have better vocabulary of ethics.

05:41Better vocabulary of good and bad practice.

05:43So that we can overlook the questions of ethics.

05:50Aminado Senaval and Chris,

05:52their illegal job is to live in fear every day.

05:58I was afraid when I realized that the operator was holding our information.

06:06We are trolls.

06:08You know where we live.

06:09So, if you steal something,

06:13you can return it to us.

06:15There's also the fear of being caught.

06:18Of course, there are a lot of people who give us their IDs.

06:26In the end, they were the ones who made the decision.

06:30It's like guilt, ma'am.

06:33It's like you were fooled by someone,

06:35and now you're fooling yourself.

06:38I don't want to be hypocritical.

06:40A lot of money will be lost,

06:42but my conscience won't allow me to do it.

06:45What I'm doing is wrong.

06:47It's really wrong.

06:49I blame him.

06:51We have the power to fight fake news.

06:54Let's start by being able to see the other side.

06:58Because our freedom to live in the truth is great.
