00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:01,829
My name is John Lloyd, head of European

2
00:00:01,829 --> 00:00:03,629
campaigns at Mozilla, and today we're

3
00:00:03,629 --> 00:00:05,670
here to do something special for The Guardian.

4
00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:06,509
When The Guardian noticed that

5
00:00:06,509 --> 00:00:08,370
old articles of theirs were being posted

6
00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:10,769
as new news to push extremist viewpoints

7
00:00:10,769 --> 00:00:12,509
online, they added the date so that

8
00:00:12,509 --> 00:00:14,460
people knew instantly that what they

9
00:00:14,460 --> 00:00:16,139
were seeing was an old story. This is a

10
00:00:16,139 --> 00:00:18,180
small but very important step in

11
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:19,949
fighting misinformation online. So we're

12
00:00:19,949 --> 00:00:21,840
here today to deliver a giant thank you

13
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,369
card signed by the Mozilla Foundation

14
00:00:23,369 --> 00:00:26,010
and nearly 27,000 other Mozilla

15
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:26,730
supporters.

16
00:00:26,730 --> 00:00:28,289
It's just our small way of saying thanks

17
00:00:28,289 --> 00:00:29,550
to The Guardian for taking leadership

18
00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:30,990
in fighting against misinformation

19
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:33,239
online, and if other publishers take the

20
00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:35,309
same step, we'll be able to go a long way

21
00:00:35,309 --> 00:00:37,530
in fighting disinformation worldwide.

22
00:00:37,530 --> 00:00:40,010
So on behalf of Mozilla and nearly

23
00:00:40,010 --> 00:00:42,420
27,000 Mozilla supporters, we just

24
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:43,890
want to say thank you so much for

25
00:00:43,890 --> 00:00:45,270
stepping up to tackle misinformation

26
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:46,230
online.

27
00:00:46,230 --> 00:00:48,140
Whoa! Wow... Whoa!

28
00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:49,140
Thanks so much,

29
00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:51,390
it's a really fantastic thing to be able

30
00:00:51,390 --> 00:00:53,250
to get a card with so many signatures

31
00:00:53,250 --> 00:00:55,050
that help us understand that what

32
00:00:55,050 --> 00:00:56,440
we've done is something that other

33
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,289
people value too- especially in an age

34
00:00:58,289 --> 00:01:01,109
when, with social platforms, people need

35
00:01:01,109 --> 00:01:02,910
context around journalism more than ever.

36
00:01:02,910 --> 00:01:04,709
So thanks ever so much and thanks to

37
00:01:04,709 --> 00:01:06,109
everyone who signed it.
