- Welcome to F8!
In 2016, we were slow to identify Russian interference.
We're doing more, we're requiring everyone
running political and issue ads or running large pages
to be verified with a government ID.
We're making ads more transparent.
By the end of this year, we will have 20,000 people
working on security and content review at Facebook.
We are focused on fighting fake news more broadly.
A lot of the work over the last and a half
has been bringing on more and more fact-checking
partners all around the world in different
countries who speak all of the different
languages that we need to cover.
I also want to talk about data privacy.
What happened with Cambridge Analytica
was a major breach of trust, so we need to
make sure that this never happens again.
We're taking a number of steps here.
First, as you all know, we're restricting the data
that developers will be able to request from people.
Second, we need to make sure we find
any other bad apps that are out there.
We're currently in the process of investigating
every single app that had access
to a large amount of people's information
before we made these big changes in 2014.
We're working on a simple control
where you can clear your browsing history,
what you've clicked on, the websites you visited, and so on.
We're gonna call it Clear History.
You're gonna be able to use this tool to see the information
about the apps and websites you've interacted with.
You'll be able to clear all this information
from your account, and you'll even be
able to turn it off, having this information
stored with your account going forward.
So, today we're announcing a new set
of features coming soon around dating.
It's gonna be for building real long-term
relationships, all right, not just hookups.
If you want, you can make a dating profile.
We've designed this with privacy
and safety in mind from the beginning.
You're only gonna be suggested
people who are not your friends.
- This is Jennifer, she's just moved to Chicago.
She's interested in dating, the first thing she
would do here is set up a dating profile.
Once she's done that, she can go browse events and groups.
This will let her see things in the city
and groups related to her interests,
and she can browse people who are there.
Say she wants to talk to Jay, she'll start a
conversation with a photo from his profile.
Then if he wants to respond, they'll do so
in a private messaging inbox connected to the profile.
- Now let's talk about Instagram.
We're announcing video chat in Instagram.
You're gonna be able to just tap on a new camera icon
right in the top of any direct thread
that you have and you're gonna be able
to video chat one-on-one or with groups.
You're gonna be able to minimize the video
while you're chatting and using Instagram.
- So, here I am in Instagram.
First, I'll swipe over to Direct because that's where I
already have conversations with my closest friends.
Now, let's say it's Saturday, and I'm trying to
figure out where we should go to brunch.
I tap this button to start a video chat,
and soon we're all able to hang out together.
Now, let's pretend I'm looking for some
inspiration for where we should go.
I tap this button, and soon, the video player is minimized.
I swipe on over to Feed, and at this point,
people can still see and hear me,
but don't worry, they can't see my screen.
Now, once I find somewhere I want to go,
I hit share, and then I send it back to the thread,
so my friends can give their input.
- Now, I can share a Sticker of whatever I'm listening
to directly to Instagram from my Spotify app.
Now anyone can also share their latest
GoPro footage directly to IG as well.
- Now Explore's organized into topic channels
based on your personal interests and tastes.
We're taking our commenting filtering technology
even further by launching a bullying filter
that hides language intended to harass or upset people.
- Now let's talk about WhatsApp.
We're announcing that we're bringing group
video calling to WhatsApp soon too.
- We're excited to share that group calling
is also coming to WhatsApp in the coming months ahead
where you can get together with friends and family
regardless of where you are in the world.
(audience cheering)
- The big news I have to share today
is Oculus Go is shipping today.
- Next is Oculus Venues, which is gonna be your ticket
to live social events in VR like concerts,
sports, comedy nights, and movie screenings.
You get to sit in this awesome VR amphitheater
with thousands of people and watch premium events
together like soccer live in a 180 degrees.
We have a great line up of live-event partners
coming to Oculus Venues, live concerts from AEG,
live games from the MLB and the NBA,
movie screenings from Lionsgate, plus comedy nights
and tons of entertainment from NextVR,
That's Oculus Go, for 199 you get
access to over 1000 apps and games.
We're also launching a version of Oculus Go
with double the storage memory, 64 gigabytes for 249.
- You know now, if you have some photos
from your childhood home, we can now use computer vision
to to fill in the gaps with this
pointillism effect and recreate the rooms
of your childhood home where you grew up.
So, you're gonna be able to go into VR with your family
and visit and feel like you are right there.
It's feels like you are in a dream, it is wild.
This work of mapping out immersive spaces
is just another important step on the path
to creating this real feeling of presence.
- First, let's talk about creating moments.
We're doing this with interactive 3-D posts on Facebook.
With one tap, you can bring a 3-D object
into Facebook camera using our AR technology.
This means you can grab a 3-D object
right out of Newsfeed and bring it straight
into your world, and it's launching next month.
Moving objects into VR takes this experience
to an even more immersive and meaningful level.
With a simple 360 photo of her kitchen and that 3-D mixer
object, the virtual Jen can give me a tour.
This Summer, we're rolling out 3-D photos.
You simply take a picture with your smartphone
and upload it to Facebook as a 3-D photo.
So, let's do this, let's keep building together.
There's never been a more important time for it.
