Hi, I'm Ayshah and this is your
Wednesday afternoon Newsround. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
First, if you've ever shared,
liked or commented on something | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
on social media, you might
want to know about this next story. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
We might not think about it much,
but everything we do online builds | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
up a picture of our personalities. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
For example who we're friends
with on social media | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
and when we comment,
like or share something. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
Social media companies use this
information to make money ? | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
they sell it to companies
who want to know what we might | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
want to buy next, where we might
want to go on the weekend, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
or even what new TV shows
we might want to watch. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
It's is a big story right now
because people are wondering | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
whether this information might have
helped Donald Trump get elected | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
President of the US. | 0:00:54 | 0:01:01 | |
Ok, it might all sound a bit
weird, but bear with us. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Knowing someone's personality,
what they like and what they don't | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
like, might tell us more about them
? including, for adults, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
how they might vote in an election. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
And that might help politicians work
out how to target particular | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
voters over social media.
Now it's claimed that a company | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
called Cambridge Analytica used
information from a Facebook | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
personality quiz to find out
about the personalities of thousands | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
of people who took the quiz. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
They also got info on millions
of their online friends as well. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
And it's also been claimed
that Cambridge Analytica | 0:01:36 | 0:01:42 | |
used this information
about their personalities | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
without their permission to help
the campaigns of politicians, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
including Donald Trump. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
But there are rules which mean
companies like this should be very | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
careful about what they do
with our information. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
The claims about Cambridge Analytica
and Facebook are now | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
being investigated. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Cambridge Analytica says it didn't
do anything wrong and it only uses | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
information which has been taken
legally and fairly. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:07 | |
Facebook says it's made changes
to try and stop this happening again | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
and is also carrying
out its own investigation. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:17 | |
The superstars of the Winter
Paralympics, Menna Fitzpatrick | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
and her guide Jen Kehoe,
have conquered the mountains | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
of South Korea. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
But can they take
on our super tough quiz? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:30 | |
BOTH: Oh... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
I don't know. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
That is tough. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:45 | |
Disney features quite a lot. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
She's definitely in bed
earlier than I am. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
She doesn't believe she snores,
but I've actually got the dual | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
recording a person ordering. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
-- video recording of her snoring. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Oh, I don't know. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
I don't think we've seen each
other dance that much. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
No. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
Possibly. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
No. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
In absence of a sensible answer,
I'm going to back myself! | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Both pretty even. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
I wouldn't like to commit. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
I'd say both of us. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
She follows me,
I think that's brave. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
So after our super tough quiz,
is there anything they didn't | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
know about each other? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
It's thrown up that we need
to go dancing together. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
Yeah. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
Next, it's been a big day
for this little guy... | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
The first polar bear to be born
in the UK in 25 years made its first | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
public appearance today. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
The cute cub lives at
the Royal Zoological Society's | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
After spending the first four months
of its life in private with its mum, | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
the time has come for it to venture
out of the den and explore. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:05 | |
So sweet! | 0:04:07 | 0:04:07 | |
Head online for loads
more from Newsround, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
including a sporting disagreement
with a difference. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
Are tennis balls yellow
or are they green? | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
We know what tennis ace
Roger Federer thinks! | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
But we want to get your
view so let us know. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:24 | |
Well, clearly it's green! Look at
this massive thing! I'm in trouble! | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
Finally, if you had a rough
day at school today, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
spare a thought for the guys
who made the mistake | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
that caused this mess... | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
This spewing fountain of water burst
through a major road in the US, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
stopping traffic for several hours. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
The plume of water was
several metres high. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
It happened after a water
pipe was damaged. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
What a clean-up job
that will have been! | 0:04:44 | 0:04:50 | |
That's all for today. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
Newsround's back in the morning. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
Have a good one! | 0:04:52 | 0:04:59 |
