00:00:50году.
00:02:08Hello, this is the project "Everything is Clear" with Marina Karaman. Let's
00:02:11talk about complex things in simple language. Today, about which
00:02:15articles are used to prosecute aggression on the internet,
00:02:18whether a high IQ saves from online deception, and what
00:02:22strings of the human soul cybercriminals play on.
00:02:25Let's go.
00:02:30The Investigative Committee has become more attentive to
00:02:33content in some social networks. The first criminal
00:02:36cases have already been opened against users whose
00:02:39videos and texts were published with gross violations of the law.
00:02:43Some are happy about this, some believe that expressing their valuable
00:02:47opinion in the virtual space is the sacred right
00:02:50of every boor. The most understanding quietly cleaned up the dirt from
00:02:54posts and comments and started hitting their hands when
00:02:58they felt like hyping up misinformation on Threads or
00:03:00TikTok.
00:03:05Investigators monitor the situation on all social networks used by
00:03:09Belarusians. But Threads and TikTok are special.
00:03:12The fact is that to promote a post on Instagram, Telegram, VK,
00:03:16Odnoklassniki, the author must have either many subscribers or
00:03:19helpers who have many subscribers and are willing
00:03:23to repost it. TikTok and Threads algorithms
00:03:26work differently. A user with three subscribers
00:03:30can publish any nonsense, and the social network, by laws unclear
00:03:34to anyone, picks up this nonsense, shows it to everyone, and
00:03:37pushes it into trends. Trends mean
00:03:40hundreds of thousands of views, reactions, and
00:03:43comments.
00:03:48No, emotionality and delayed critical
00:03:51thinking are two pillars on which the psychological swings of
00:03:55an average social network user creak. Scientists
00:03:58are seriously talking about
00:04:00an epidemic of false information, and it relies on
00:04:04the peculiarities of how the human brain works. It
00:04:06engages logic later than emotional reactions. We are wired
00:04:10that way, so we first repost and comment, and then
00:04:14evaluate the truthfulness of the information. First, we act, and then
00:04:18we think. When we are very outraged or
00:04:21thrilled, we need to quickly release the tension. The easiest
00:04:24way to do this is to share an emotion or content. We
00:04:28share and multiply someone else's lies. Most
00:04:32people evaluate information with bias, believing what
00:04:36they want to believe. If the content confirms their fears or
00:04:39beliefs, critical thinking starts to lag.
00:04:43The person triumphs, "I knew it, I told you so!" Like,
00:04:46repost. The herd instinct plays an important role
00:04:50in this process. When a person sees that a video is viral, they think in
00:04:54the paradigm, "Millions cannot be wrong," fears becoming
00:04:57an outcast, and joins the alleged
00:05:00to shout, "I'm one of you, I'm with you!" Remember how
00:05:04before the attempted coup in 2020, we
00:05:07saw accounts of some fleeting trolls with many
00:05:10subscribers.
00:05:2180% of them were bots, but those who fell for the scale of the inflated audience got the impression that the whole country had gone mad, and they seriously feared being left outside their own homes, even if such profiles made
00:05:25it look like a madhouse. Many wonder
00:05:28why people with good education and high
00:05:31IQ fall for misinformation. There's an explanation
00:05:34for this too: cognitive laziness.
00:05:37Checking any data requires energy, pseudo-belief
00:05:40saves resources. People who consider themselves smart,
00:05:44educated, well, even thinking, are sure that
00:05:48they definitely won't be fooled. This category of users, coordinators
00:05:51of any disinformation, are caught on the hook
00:05:54of their own pride, playing on their fear
00:05:58of losing face before their surroundings. So,
00:06:00there's nothing to envy here. If false or aggressive content
00:06:04goes viral, it's a reason to sympathize with its author, because
00:06:07lies and aggression will have to
00:06:09be answered for.
00:06:14According to articles of the administrative or criminal codes, paragraph
00:06:182 of Article 10 of the Code of Administrative Offenses states
00:06:21that an individual who insults someone in information distributed on
00:06:25the internet can be punished with a fine of 10 to
00:06:28200 base units, public works, or administrative
00:06:32arrest. Article 237
00:06:35of the Administrative Code provides for illegal
00:06:38collection, processing, storage, or provision
00:06:41of personal data.
00:06:53His photo, video with him, recordings of his voice,
00:06:56documents, and even his car number.
00:06:59Let's move on to the Criminal Code, Article
00:07:02188. Defamation. This is the dissemination
00:07:05of knowingly false, discrediting information about another person or
00:07:09accusing him of committing a serious or especially
00:07:14grave crime. For such deeds, one can be rewarded with a fine, correctional labor
00:07:17for up to 2 years, arrest, restriction, or
00:07:20deprivation of liberty for up to 3 years.
00:07:24Article 130. Incitement of racial,
00:07:27national, religious, or other social enmity or
00:07:30discord. This is an intentional attempt to incite hatred in others
00:07:34towards someone because of their race, nationality,
00:07:37religion, profession, gender,
00:07:40age, or the language they speak.
00:08:22unlawful actions regarding information about private life
00:08:26and personal data. It states that the unlawful collection or
00:08:29dissemination of information about the private life and personal
00:08:33data of another person without their consent can lead to punishment
00:08:36up to deprivation of liberty for up to 5 years. Article
00:08:40340. Knowingly
00:08:42false report of danger. This refers to posts about an explosion, arson, or
00:08:46something else that could threaten people's lives and health, or cause
00:08:49serious damage to them. Punishment can be a fine, arrest,
00:08:53restriction of liberty for up to 3 years, or deprivation of liberty
00:08:56for up to 5 years. For a repeated offense, one can get up to
00:09:007 years in prison.
00:09:03Social networks and everything
00:09:07that happens in the virtual space have long been part of reality. I will
00:09:11give you personal, very illustrative examples.
00:09:14Once, I ran an educational blog, where I always wore
00:09:17two buns and bright T-shirts. Then I started running my Telegram channel,
00:09:21that is, I created two lines of communication with the audience, which
00:09:25demonstrated how I think, how I write, and how I look on
00:09:28camera. And when the question arose about whether I could work on
00:09:31television, these two channels of communication with me became
00:09:34the primary way for the employer to assess my
00:09:38professional capabilities. My hairstyle and bright clothes moved to the
00:09:41studio and now serve the viewers of what I consider to be
00:09:44the most effective media in the country. The second example
00:09:48is trivial and close to many modern women. It was on social media that a
00:09:51man found me, with whom I have been happily married for 10 years. We are from
00:09:55different worlds, different age groups, and would hardly have met in real
00:09:59life. A family emerged from the emptiness. What could be
00:10:02more real? A couple more examples that didn't leave me
00:10:06indifferent. Recently, one mom posted a video
00:10:09in which she accused a stranger of attempting to steal
00:10:13her children. Social media exploded. The man was showered
00:10:16with dirt and curses, accused of pedophilia, and the police were criticized.
00:10:20It turned out that he was a respectable citizen
00:10:24who was simply looking for his daughter at the playground. The man
00:10:27faced aggressive hate because someone "thought something"
00:10:31and personal fantasies were formalized into
00:10:34a public accusation. Sometime ago,
00:10:37social media spread information about a resident of the Belarusian hinterland
00:10:40who got injured at work and was living in poverty. Concerned compatriots
00:10:44began to send him money for his upkeep. We have many
00:10:47concerned people. The financial flow was stable. The most
00:10:50worried went to the unfortunate man's house.
00:10:53It turned out that this person did not exist. The whole story from
00:10:57beginning to end was a fabrication by online scammers to
00:11:01profit. Professional beggars infest all
00:11:04social networks, but Threads is especially rich
00:11:07in such characters. Note that all the loudest episodes of
00:11:11fraud start in the virtual world, and
00:11:13end with the loss of real money. All the color
00:11:17revolutions of the last 20 years began on social networks, and
00:11:20ended with the destruction of real states and tragedies for
00:11:24millions of real people. The virtual world
00:11:27is part of real life, and it is logical to answer for crimes in it
00:11:31according to real laws. This is the practice of all developed
00:11:34countries.
00:11:38In Britain, according to local press, for posts, reposts and
00:11:42comments on social networks about 30 people are arrested
00:11:45daily. Every year 12,000 citizens go
00:11:49through arrests and interrogations for insults and threats on
00:11:52the Internet. In the USA everyone who threatens
00:11:56civil servants and calls for overthrowing the government through social
00:11:59networks is arrested. In France, the reason to put a person in a cell is considered
00:12:03justification of terrorism, insult of authorities and incitement of social
00:12:06hatred on the Internet. In Germany, a month ago, two users
00:12:10were tried who unhappily commented on a post about
00:12:14the closure of the sky over the city of Heilbronn during the Chancellor's
00:12:17visit.
00:12:21Thirst for popularity. Bloggers and those who want to become
00:12:25such seek ways to attract attention. The easiest way to do this
00:12:29is by playing on the emotions of the audience. And here the most
00:12:32powerful triggers are pride, hatred, and
00:12:35fear. They pull the emergency brake on our prudence,
00:12:38initiating a chain of unconscious reactions that force
00:12:41users to argue in comments, to spend days proving
00:12:44their point to complete strangers, and to justify themselves to
00:12:48trolls. The more comments, the higher the rating
00:12:51of the publication and the chances of promoting a profile to a commercial level.
00:12:59If you believe you have been insulted or defamed online,
00:13:02if someone has disseminated your personal
00:13:05data, if you see a crime being committed according to the
00:13:09criminal or administrative articles mentioned above, you need to go to the
00:13:12police for help. Law enforcement will conduct
00:13:16an investigation, find the offender, even if they are hiding behind a zero
00:13:20account, qualify their actions, and if they find in them
00:13:23elements of a crime or...
00:13:55In our time, the chances of becoming a victim of a crime online
00:13:58are higher than on the street. Laws are already adapted to this
00:14:02state of affairs. If the first reaction to content is
00:14:06shock or anger, most likely someone is playing on your
00:14:09feelings. Give yourself 10 minutes to reflect on the information
00:14:12received, and then write comments. And don't
00:14:15throw accusations in a fit of righteous anger.
00:14:18A word can heal, but it can also kill an
00:14:22innocent person, and for that you will have to pay according to
00:14:25spiritual laws. I am Marina Karaman. On issues of digital
00:14:29hygiene, we have sorted it out. Everything is clear. See you.
