如果扎克伯格竞选总统，脸书会帮他赢得胜利吗？ [英国媒体]

If Mark Zuckerberg runs for president, will Facebook help him win?

如果扎克伯格竞选总统，脸书会帮他赢得胜利吗？



Despite his protestations to the contrary, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has been acting like someone planning to run for office. He hired a pollster, visited a Detroit auto plant and other swing-state locations, and gave a high-profile commencement speech.

尽管他对此表示否认，但脸书创始人扎克伯格这些天的动作确实像一个要准备参加竞选的人。他雇佣了一个民意调查机构，参访了底特律的汽车工厂以及其他一些摇摆州，并且还做了一个备受关注的毕业典礼演讲。

Meanwhile, Facebook has been under intense criticism for its role as a vector of misinformation in recent elections. This week, Facebook admitted that Russian accounts purchased $100,000 in political ads in 2015 and 2016. This disclosure comes only two months after the platform refused to disclose who is paying for advertising on the platform and where they’re running.

但与此同时，脸书由于在上次大选中助推了虚假消息传播一直倍受职责。本周，脸书承认来自俄罗斯的账户在2015和2016年购买了十万美元的政治广告。而两个月前，脸书刚刚宣布他们不会透露谁在他们平台上打广告以及购买的是哪方面的广告。

This confluence of events demonstrates the urgent need for greater transparency about how Facebook is already being used for electoral influence, particularly its algorithms and advertising features. Facebook must be regulated like the broadcast medium that it has become. And if Zuckerberg wants to run for office, he should be leading the charge for meaningful transparency.
Currently, however, candidates can’t manipulate the algorithm – they only have access to Facebook’s public organizing and advertising tools. 

可是目前候选人无法操纵这种算法，他们仅仅有权利用脸书进行公关或者打广告。

Advertising is another area where Facebook needs to radically increase transparency. While candidates must disclose their spending on required campaign finance filings, they can avoid reporting their exact Facebook spending amounts by hiring a firm to run the ads and paying for them as part of their overall consulting fee.

脸书的广告业务也要进一步加大透明度。因为根据相关文件要求，竞选人必须公开他们竞选活动的支出状况，但他们可以可以通过雇佣公司在脸书上运营广告然后支付给公司一笔费用，然后把这笔费用算作总顾问费用的一部分，这样就可以避免报告自己在脸书上花费的真实费用。

That would limit the spread of fake news on the platform going forward. And while Facebook claims to have blocked ads from running on fake news sites, they have not yet taken the step to block ads on Facebook by fake news sites – or haven’t disclosed it, if they have. 

这些措施会限制虚假消息的进一步传播。尽管脸书宣称它已经阻止了假新闻站点广告的侵入，但它们却没有进一步删除那些已经在脸书上传播的假新闻站点的新闻，或者说公布那些假新闻站点名单。

With two billion global users, Facebook has been adopted faster than any technology or service in human history, and due to its widespread use, people deserve more information regarding its influence in elections. We need to know who is paying to put political content in our newsfeeds, and how the Facebook platform itself determines who sees what.

作为一个拥有20亿用户的平台，脸书比人类历史上任何科技或者服务都变化的更快，并且由于他的广泛使用，人们理应知道关于脸书影响大选的更多消息。我们需要知道我们订阅新闻里的政治广告是谁打的，并且还要知道脸书是如何决定哪些人看哪些内容的。

It’s in the best interests of democratic society to do so. And if this appeal to virtue isn’t convincing enough, Zuckerberg should do so out of self-interest. All of these concerns will reach a fever pitch if Facebook’s CEO runs for office, given the unique ability of the platform to mobilize voters for the boss. Rather than wait for the next crisis, Facebook needs to increase its transparency now.

这样做对于一个民主社会而言是最有利的。如果说仅仅从道德的角度来说是不太令人信服的，可扎克伯格也应该为了自己的利益这样做。如果扎克伯格竞选的话，鉴于脸书可以被用来动员选民为它老板投票的独特优势，人们对这些方面的担忧将会达到极点。与其等待下一次危机的爆发，脸书现在就应该加大它的透明度。

Data mining is overrating as an electoral tool - people vote for what candidates symbolise. Look at Brexit - the reality of the process and its consequences bears no relation to what leaving the EU signifies for its partisan.
In US 2016 people voted against what Mrs Clinton symbolised. If Mr Zuckerberg can then symbolise the future of an appealing Democrat-governed US, then he will win. For the current generation this appears unlike, but who knows in 20 years time?

数据挖掘技术被高估了，被当成一种选举工具，人们只是投票候选人代表的价值观。看看英国脱欧公投就知道，公投的过程以及公投结果都跟脱欧铁杆支持者宣称的脱离欧洲象征的东西无关。美国16年大选时，人们投票反对希拉里克林顿象征的意识形态。如果扎克伯格到时能够象征很有吸引力的民主美国的未来，那么他到时候会赢。

mbidding  比迪
Indeed, people vote for what candidates symbolize.
But how do those symbols develop and how do folks know what candidates symbolize? A small percentage learn through campaign events, the majority learn through media which informs and shapes public opinion at the same time.
This is especially true in the highly fractured media environment that we face, in the US at least, in the 21st century. With Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in 1986, broadcast "news" has become little more than propagandized political infotainment. Then folks turn to social media to see what their "friends" think and to read articles with similar bents that are purposefully fed into their new streams for a fee. Their ingrained biases and assumptions about what candidates symbolize are further and more subtly manipulated by politicos and profiteers.
And were the partisan Brexiteers not supported in their beliefs that the consequences of Brexit would be far rosier than they're turning out to be by politicos using all types of media to convince them that such was the case?
In the US in 2016, the majority of voters voted for what Clinton symbolized not against.

的确，选民是投票给候选人象征的意识形态。
但是候选人代表的意识形态是如何形成的，选民又如何知道候选人代表的意识形态呢？一小部分人是通过竞选活动知道的，而绝大多数人通过媒体知道的，媒体影响民意的同时也塑造了民意。至少在21世纪的美国，在我们面临的碎片化的媒体环境下，这种情况尤其突出。
随着1986年里根对公平原则（要求媒体保持政治中立）的废除，广播"新闻"实际上变得跟政治娱乐新闻没什么区别。人们开始到社交媒体上看"朋友"们怎么想的并且阅读一些以盈利为目的的跟他们思想相似的订阅文章。他们对于候选人的根深蒂固的偏见和猜想更微妙也更严重的受到政客们和唯利是图者的操纵。
难道脱欧的铁杆支持者们不相信他们自己的信念吗？那些脱欧政客们通过各种媒体宣传的，脱欧后生活会(比脱欧后实际情况)更美好的信念。
实际上2016年美国大选，大多数选民是投给克林顿代表的意识形态而不是反对。

Running for President costs hundreds of millions - if you need financial backing you are in debt to banks who finance you. Ordinary people and basic morality are priced out the market.

竞选总统需要上亿的花费，如果你需要资金支持那么你就欠那些金主的。普通人无缘这种选举，基本的道德准则在这里也不起作用。

是的，大家也是这样说特朗普的。

I hope Zuckerberg realises Facebook has a lot to answer for - our decreased productivity, increasing vanity and obsession with social media, decreasing the attention span of users wanting instant news.

我希望扎克伯格意识到，脸书需要为许多事情负责——我们下降的生产力，日益膨胀的自负心态以及对社交媒体的着迷。此外，脸书还需要降低那些需要即时新闻的用户的注意力广度。

Important though the influence of social media is, surely it is even more worrying that Zuckerberg might run at all. We're currently witnessing the shambolic effects of what happens when celebrity, hubris and half-baked sloganeering win office. Is Zuckerberg's (potential) run for President a sign of a trend that the very rich and famous now mistake President of the United States as the "best CEO job in the world"?

尽管社交媒体的影响力非常重要，但如果扎克伯格竞选总统的话，事情会变得让人更加担忧。我们大家已经看到了名人，自大狂以及喊着不切实际的竞选口号的人当选后的种种乱象。扎克伯格（有可能）竞选总统，是不是意味着巨富以及名人们现在都错误的认为美国总统仅仅是"世界上最优秀的CEO"?

The difference between Zuckerberg and Trump is that Zuckerberg is actually a very successful businessman. Trump is just a grown-up baby playing with the million-dollar hotels and golf course toys his Dad gave him the cash to buy. Anything he's ever tried for himself has been a complete failure, Presidency of the United States soon to be included in that list.

扎克伯格和特朗普的区别在于，扎克伯格是一个真正的成功的富商。特朗普只是一个在他父亲给他掏钱买的百万豪宅以及高尔夫球场里玩耍长大的孩子。他努力为自己所做的所有事情都彻底失败了，美国总统这个位置估计会是下一个。

I have nothing against Zuckerberg. He seems like a nice person. However, Facebook is a powerful media organization that can and has influenced elections. There is clearly a massive conflict of interest and potential for abuse of power here. There should be a law preventing powerful media persons such as Zuckerberg or Rupert Murdoch from contesting elections.

我对扎克伯格没什么意见，他这人看起来不错。但是脸书是一个强大的社交软件以至于能够影响大选，它里面显然有巨大的利益冲突以及权力的滥用。法律应该禁止像扎克伯格和默多克这样拥有巨大媒体影响力的人参加大选。

i hope that after Trump, USA passes a requirement that presidential candidates have to have held public office for X number of years. It is ridiculous you can run for president without practical experience in how government works.

People will complain just as much if the candidates are 'career politicians' as they will if the candidates are billionaire businessmen. Fact is, whether or not the individual themselves has huge piles of cash, any campaign will need ludicrous amounts of money. Even Bernie needed $250 million, just for the primaries.
Maybe we really should just judge them on their policies.

如果候选人是"职业政治家"的话，人们的抱怨也一样多。事实是，无论候选人自己是不是巨富，任何竞选活动都需要多的荒谬的钱。即使是伯尼桑德斯，仅仅参加初选也需要两亿五千万刀。
也许我们真的应该仅仅根据政策来评判他们。

If Zuckerberg runs for president and people take him seriously, I am out. Have we not learned that running a country actually takes competence?
Mr. Zuckerberg may be a very nice young man, but the fact that he's made billions peddling what started out as essentially a hook up site, does *not* qualify him to lead our nation.
Wake up America! There is a real world out there with real facts. Stop believing the bullshit and use your minds!

扎克伯格可能是个不错的年轻人，但是他通过兜售一个起初实际上就是一个约会软件而赚到几百亿，这并意味着他有能力领导我们这个国家。
如果扎克伯格竞选总统并且人们真的考虑选他，那么我选择出局。难道我们还不知道治理国家是需要真材实料的吗？

Presidency is a long shot. It is made for people who are prepared to lead. While I agree that Mark has got some experience in leading a global company like Facebook, leading a country as large and influential on the world stage as USA requires a different flavor of leadership skills and competence. The mistakes made by Obama in the early stages of his presidency as well as Trump, who presumes that tactics that have worked for his businesses could work in his time in the Oval office 。

总统竞选是一个长期过程，它是为那些已经准备好领导这个国家的人准备的。我不否认扎克伯格从治理脸书这类全球性公司从获得一些经验，但是领导国际地位像美国这样的有影响力的大国，却需要不同的能力和技巧。奥巴马在总统任期早期阶段犯过一些错误，特朗普也一样，他以为他经商时行之有效的手段也能适用于治理国家。

To underestimate the power of social media could be a costly mistake - as many politicians learned the hard way. We are being told that for the first time more young people are likely to vote (likely does not mean 'will' of course) - contrary to what politicans want us to believe (that young people don't vote). So it remains to be seen. One thing for sure - there is an appetite for young, liberal, messiah-like progressive figures - Trudeau, Macron and the like. Plus to oust Trump, you need to be pretty OTT. I don't buy this 'when they go low, you go high' rubbish. Populist bullies have to be called out on their bigotry and all tactics are allowed - roll up your sleeves and be prepared to throw some serious punches.

低估社交媒体的影响力是个代价沉重的错误，正如许多政客们已经学到的那样。我们一直在被告知，有史以来第一次年轻选民们更有"可能"投票（而不是"愿意"投票），这恰恰跟政客们希望我们相信的（年轻人不愿投票）相反，所以实际情况还有待观察。但有一件事情可以确定：人们期盼着一位年轻的，自由的，救世主式的改革派人物，例如特鲁多（2015年成为加拿大史上第二年轻的总理）和马克龙（2017年成为法国史上最年轻总统）这样的。所以除了驱逐特朗普，我们还应该抓住本质。
我不相信"众人皆醉我独醒"这类的胡说八道，民粹主义恶霸们的盲目固执必须被公之于众，什么手段都可以用，撸起袖子，准备给他们沉重一击吧。

He has access to the ability to control information in a much more sinster and subtle way then someone like Rupert Murdoch... personally I would be very wary of anyone in his position running for office in the same way I would Murdoch.
Jung once said "ideas have people" and I'm beginning to believe that more and more as I get older, becareful which ideas have you in their thrall and who is feeding them to you.

扎克伯格可以像默多克（美国传媒大亨）一样，能够以更微妙并且更有害的方式控制信息的传播。就我个人而言，我对他那样地位的人参加竞选是非常谨慎的，就像我对默多克参加竞选的态度一样。荣格（瑞士心理学家）曾经说过，"意识控制人类"并且我开始相信，随着年龄的增加，要注意那些控制着你的意识以及是谁在给你灌输这种意识形态。

Why are people condemning him already. Its better for democracy if more people run for presidency no. Then you will have more people to chose from.
It is quite clear that the social media has immense influence over the political outcomes. This article is spot on to point out that if he is at all interested in the world of politics, then he does not have to look further than to his own feet-though by no means an easy thing, taking a lead of facebook getting the right balance between freedom of speech, and human rights. But though I understand that advertisement is where they get much of their profit from, there should be a limit on how much, and also there should be strict regulations specifically for ones that try influence political results. If he can manage that, he will be contributing to strengthening democracy itself.

为什么人们已经开始谴责他了。如果有更多的人竞选总统会对民主更有利，你也会有更多的人选。
很明显社交媒体对于政治事件结果有巨大的影响。这片文章准确的指出，如果扎克伯格真的对政治感兴趣，那么他只需做好自己分内的事就够了——带领脸书在言论自由和人权之间取得恰当的平衡，尽管这并不简单。
虽然我理解脸书很大一部分利润来源是它的广告业务，但是它对于广告利润占的比例应该有个限制，并且对那些试图影响政治结果的广告应该有专门的严格监管。如果扎克伯格能够设法做到这些，他也会对加强民主建设有所贡献。

I dont know enough about Zuckerberg to know if he would be suitable as President but he has created a massive global success story in Facebook which shows he has got alot of ability and skill. In general, pooitics should contain alot more people who have made a success of the real world. Politics is too full of Career politicians like May and Corbyn.

我对扎克伯格理解的不多，不知道他是否适合做总统，但是他的脸书公司在全球范围取得巨大成功，这说明他拥有足够的能力。总之，政治界应该吸纳更多在真实世界取得成功的人，它已经有太多的像梅（英国首相）和科本（应该工党党魁）这样的职业政治家。

What is the point of promoting a wealthy guy as a potential president? This is how a system gets rigged. Have money, or raise tons of money, and be a president. No one is saying what ideas he has, what reforms he has in mind, what level of "humanity" is in him. Let MZ himself articulate his ideas, and he better tell us fast if he is thinking to be a president, if that is what he wants. Let's see what he brings to the table. I get tired of all this worship of celebrities and people with money. Please do not make a mockery of your readers.

推选有钱的家伙作为总统候选人的位置有什么意义呢？这也是选举制度如何被操纵的——有很多钱，或者筹到很多钱，然后当上总统。没有人告诉你他是如何想的，他脑袋有什么改革方案，他还有多少"人性"。如果扎克伯格想成为总统，他自己最好快点告诉我们他自己的想法，让我们看看他到底能提出什么方案。我已经厌烦了对名人和有钱人像神一样的崇拜。请不要嘲笑你的读者。

The data generated on Facebook is enough for him to win. All he needs to do is study it, understand the political sensibilities of the American people and base his campaign on the data. And what he could do with all of the global data and international policy is beyond imagination.

脸书上面产生的数据已经足够扎克伯格赢得胜利，他只需要研究这些数据，了解美国人民的政治偏向，然后基于此来进行自己的竞选活动。并且他如何利用拥有的全球数据以及对国际政治的影响更加难以想象。
