'Sup you beautiful bastards
hope you're having a
Fantastic Monday welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into and the first thing we're gonna talk about today by far
one of the most requested stories from over the weekend
And that is the massive announcement from YouTube regarding YouTube's changes changes that seem very much inspired from the recent, Logan Paul
Controversies if you've watched the show you know the backstory of Logan Paul's suicide
Exploitation scandal that was unfollowed by Logan doing pretty much everything we predicted that he would do
Beforehand for his Redemption tour donating money fluff piece interview putting out a video where there was there is sympathetic music with a sympathetic
Figure also him using his punishment of being removed from the Google preferred ad program as a way to further pushes merchandise
oh Is that but of course what I did not predict was that he would?
Immediately just throw himself back into past behavior this horse video back bragging that he gained a million subscribers during a three week break
Thing jokes about swallowing Tide Pods on Twitter even though. He then deleted it
I'm putting on a video where he was messing with dead animals one of fish the other rats that he tasered
I made him the recipient of a lot of outrage including outrage from PETA which I will say from the beginning
I often find PETA to be a kind of ridiculous. Hypocritical organization at many times they he'll blow this story up
They got a lot of traction and then YouTube respond official YouTube creators Twitter tweeting in response to Logan Paul's recent pattern of behavior
We've temporarily suspended ads on his channel
And that was soon followed by YouTube blog posts that outlined what they called additional steps writing today. We're outlining additional steps
We may take beyond our current strike systems when channels upload videos that result in widespread harm to our community of creators
viewers an advertiser also they don't mention Logan Paul by name in the blog post
But you'll see it is about him on premium monetization programs promotion and content development partnerships
We may remove a channel from Google preferred and also suspend cancel or remove a creators YouTube original real-ass left off there with Logan his
His original was suspended despite headlines saying that it was cancelled
I haven't heard super super recent talks
But inside of the community just a week ago there were people saying that it was barely suspended
But then to monetization creator support privileges you may suspend the channels ability to serve ads ability to earn revenue
And potentially remove a channel from the YouTube Partner Program
including creator support and access to our YouTube spaces and three
And this is probably one of the most important ones regarding people like logan video recommendations
We may remove a channels eligibility to be recommended on youtube such as appearing on our homepage
Trending tab or watch next now the reason this would be huges people like logan paul have actually grown because of controversy
Thanks to the YouTube algorithm. Seemingly promoting videos that are shared a lot off site
Which is happening because a lot of news websites are covering Logan Paul. They're embedding his video
That's why we've seen Logan Paul trending number one on YouTube during
controversy when people are angry at him while he's popping up and
Recommended why he's popping up and watch net this also appears not to be a step
They've taken against Logan Paul because after this was announced
Logan Paul did not release a new video instead just just posted an update on usually and once again even people who were not subscribed
To Logan Paul got this update on their home feet so it appears
They realize that the algorithm really is promoting people that are in the center of controversy
But they didn't take this extra step my response to most of this is
positive with an asterisk on and the main reason for that asterisk is if YouTube continues being
Transparent about their moves YouTube either needs to make public announcements like they did with Logan and I do believe that them
Enacting things like this should be outlier situations like a Logan Paul situation and/or - there needs to be an email or something
That's in our dashboard that lets us know that we're being affected in this way if YouTube makes a decision like this and the reason
For that is YouTube creators have unfortunately been trained by YouTube to not be
trusting of YouTube's um creators based on what they say the content they put out feel like they are playing by a different set of
rules with YouTube and well
I think most people agree that people like Logan Paul need to be kept in check because they do a lot of harm to everyone
That is not them we also have to make sure that on the opening of this door other creators
Not hurt, which other creators are still hurting from previous changes. Where YouTube is. You know updating algorithm the algorithm is learn
I mean while tons of small creators livelihoods are held in the balance while YouTube figures it out
That said that is where we are right now regarding the situation. We'll see if there are more updates
If there are any more stories that blow
Obviously I know a lot of you get excited when we cover stories like this
I am I hate it because all it does is make our community look ridiculous
Not all of that said I do want to pass the question off to you. What is your takeaway from this situation?
Are you happy with this move from YouTube? Do you think that they're gonna somehow mess it up?
I'd love to know your general thoughts also connected to this I know a lot of people want me to talk about the Casey Neistat
Interview of the CBO of YouTube Robert Kinsel do have feelings on it
I do I do have responses on it what I would I would like to say to
Robert and anyone else at YouTube if you would be willing to have someone like me
Interview you I would be more than happy something I said to KC before he did this interview
It's all about the follow-ups when you have an executive whether it be YouTube anywhere else
They know the top-level talking points and ultimately if you boil down YouTube's top level talking points, its we take this matter seriously
We are working on it, but then you have to follow up. How are you doing it?
Have you done it in the past? What did you learn? What hurdles? Do you have what kind of timeline?
Are you looking give us any specific about what you're doing or specific situations. We've seen on site. That's where you're getting real answers
That's how you really kick the tires and understand
I'm not trying to discount what Casey Neistat did here just just YouTube even opening the door in this manner is fantastic
It's a Robert or anyone else that's high level at YouTube Casey nice that has also tweeted the same point it was interview with me
I'll put the pressure on you, but I think that at the end of the day
We'll both learn from each other and hopefully the audience will walk away feeling like there's some answers, but from that
I want to share some stuff

I just shared a secret link of the day anything at all links as always are in the description down below
And then let's talk about our do bag of the day
Which I will even say from beginning calling this person a douchebag seems like the most underwhelming comment
I could make in this story. This is this is a monster
This is a story about Brian, Roberto Valero the way the story goes if 18 year-old Alyssa Maness ADA
She goes to a party on Saturday February 3rd
It's at a mobile home park in Washington, and it's there she meets Brian according to Brian, Alyssa
Just broken up with her boyfriend, and she went out partying and wanted to hang out with it, Alyssa was there
She reportedly snorted a line of crushed percocet pills and then Brian gave her a dab of liquid
THC and reportedly within a minute she collapsed and was unconscious now instead of getting help for her Varela allegedly raped her she also took
several photos of her partially naked
Unconscious and blue-lipped on his bed and texted those pictures to friends in a group chat the text allegedly read, lol
I think she Oh deeds still breathing
I'm smashing her to pass the time
Then the next morning Varela showed his roommate the dead body on his bed and told him what happened his roommate said he told him
To call the police when instead virologist went to work at double shift at Dairy Queen band while at Dairy Queen Pharrell reportedly bragged to
A co-worker about what happened saying she died having sex with me
He also reportedly said that he considered taking her to a hospital
But he didn't because he was quote too tired and just went to sleep
He then went on to describe how he broke the victims legs to stuff the body in a plastic crate and talked about a plan
to bury her that co-worker
Then later saw a Facebook post from the victim's mother
Looking for her missing daughter as they saw that they went to notify the police early Tuesday February 6 deputies
Then arrived over Ella's mobile home two hours later. They arrested him
They very quickly located the victim's body in a plastic crate when confronted by authorities where I admitted that Alyssa seemed quote out of it
During sex after she died
He said that he washed her body to try to remove his DNA from her claim that he went online to research how to get
Rid of a dead body also saying that after reading the Facebook post from Alyssa's mother
He used her thumb to unlock her phone and update her snapchat tried to make a post to make it look like she had run
Away afterward he threw the phone into a construction zone behind the Dairy Queen detectives have now found the phone
They're searching through it Briella has been charged with manslaughter
homicide by controlled substance and second-degree rape brian is now in jail bail has been set at
$500,000 and oh my god. This is a horrifying story
I mean I know the word sociopath gets thrown around for anyone these days
But this seems like a sociopath also while I'm glad the co-worker went to police
What about everyone else in this story friends that he texted and sent pictures his roommate that saw a dead body I mean
It's easy to look at Varela and go oh my god
This is this is a monster throw this person in the garbage
But what about everyone else that enabled or just sat there and let it happen it didn't report to the police
I didn't do the right thing two and a half three days past you can say what you want about backing your friends
But if your friend is raping a girl that's dying and then bragging about it
I think you choose not to be a garbage person and protect this monster you do the right thing then very briefly
I want to mention something that surprised me from the current Winter, Olympics, North Korea Kim jong-un sister the North Korean cheerleaders
They've received a lot of positive press coverage
It's not just the media people on Twitter praising Kim Jong Un's sister for throwing shade at Mike Pence
Oh my God look at her resting bitchface went around Mike Pence hashtag saying. No, are you people insane. I don't care
What you think about Mike Pence none of that should ever lead to you being like yay, North Korea?
This is all a charade. This is all propaganda any of this fool you this is still, North Korea
This is the least free country in the world. It's ruled by a regime that starves their citizens. They publicly execute their citizens
They enslave their citizens
They run gulags there are stories that make the news of a woman who was made to drown her own, baby
You see the positive press coverage about the North Korean
Cheerleaders all I see there are human hostages that have been trained to be propaganda
I'm sure you'd sing and dance in unison too if the government was like we're gonna put your family in a camp if you don't
Play ball when I look at Kim Jong Un's sister Kim neo Jung. I don't I don't see someone
Oh, just it's just having some sass I see the head of North Korea's propaganda and agitation Department and understand
I'm not saying this as if America does not have its own set of problems
But just just read any story from any defector from North Korea, and you will understand
That's why I'm horrified and angered anytime any media outlet any youtuber
Does something that normalizes the the monsters that run that country the most are the massive scandal and outrage against?
Oxfam Oxfam if you don't know as an International Confederation of charitable organizations
They say their goal is to empower people free people from poverty see them also
Respond to emergency situations like after the Haiti earthquake and actually a big part of the scandal is
Connected to the response to the Haiti earthquake
There's an investigation that uncovered evidence that there was a cover-up by Oxfam when they discovered that their workers were using prostitutes in Haiti after
the 2010 earthquake and after an internal investigation
The reports of misconduct three men were allowed to resign four were fired for gross misconduct
The Times report that said one of the man that was allowed to resign was hey Dias country director Rowland van Howard Miran he admitted
to using
Prostitutes in the villa the charity rented for him and using charitable funds to pay for them the charity's chief executive at the time Barbara
Stockton allowed him to have a quote phased and dignified exit this because firing him could have quote potentially serious
Implications for the charity's reputation there are also concerns that some of these prostitutes would have been underage MP
Gavin sugar saying in case you're wondering teenage girls in one of the poorest countries in the world
Immediately following an earthquake don't buy any measure choose
Prostitution one source claimed to have seen footage of one night that was like a full-on
Caligula orgy with young prostitutes even wearing
Oxfam shirts and when the firings happen Oxfam assured the public that there were over misconduct that had nothing to do with their aid budget
Oxfam also said they reported these incidents to the Charity Commission
But the Commission said they never received a final report also saying what they did receive did not detail the precise
allegations nor did it make any
indication of potential sexual crimes involving minors Commission has also said they're asking Oxfam to review what happened and to provide them with assurance that
It has learned lessons from past incidents also that they're taking all necessary
steps to ensure
Risks are minimised following that report and the statement Oxfam said after the investigation in 2011 we carried out a thorough review of the case
Which resulted in the creation of our dedicated?
safeguarding team a confidential whistleblowing hotline and
Safeguarding contact point within countries as part of a package of measures to ensure that we do all we can to protect our staff prevent
sexual abuse and misconduct happening in the first place and improve
How we handle any allegations also adding, and this is my favorite part our code of conduct now stipulates
I will also not exchange money offers of employment employment goods or services for sex or sexual favors in
2011 the code only prohibited sex with
beneficiaries and anyone under 18 what I specifically love about that language is it makes me feel like at least one of the people that
Got in trouble was like it wasn't specifically in the rules that we should do this
I didn't see the rules specifically that we weren't supposed to use
Charitable funds to get these desperate women to have sex with us
It feels like one of these guys were like no we were kick-starting the economy. We were creating jobs putting money in there
No, I think most sane human beings go this is disgusting predatory behavior
And that's on top of the gross misuse of charitable funds, and what seems to be a cover also
There's been the question of well if Oxfam learned about this
Why didn't they go to authorities according to Oxfam chief executive Mark gold?
they didn't report the incident to local authorities because they were worried about the safety of the women at swine now following all this the
UK's Department for International Development said in a statement we often work with organizations in chaotic and difficult circumstances if
wrongdoing abuse fraud or criminal activity occur we need to know about it immediately in full the way this appalling abuse of vulnerable people was
Dealt with raises serious questions that Oxfam must answer we acknowledge that hundreds of Oxfam staff have done
No wrong and worked tirelessly for the people they serve
But the handling by the senior team about this
Investigation and their openness with us and the Charity Commission showed a lack of judgment we have a zero-tolerance
Policy for the type of activity that took place in this instance and we expect our partners to as well adding the International Development Secretary
Is reviewing our current work with Oxfam and has requested a meeting with a senior team at the earliest opportunity?
And that was then followed by the International Development Secretary penny Moore dawn speaking on the issue Sunday
I think it's shocking and it doesn't matter how good the?
Safeguarding practices are in an organization
If that organization does not have the moral
Leadership to do the right thing and where in particular
They have evidence of criminal activity to pass that information to the relevant authorities including
Prosecuting authorities, that's that's an absolute absence of leadership
So you feel that the doc's firm failed in its moral leadership?
Yes, I do, but oh boys and girls the story is not over it appears that prostitution has been a long-standing
Oxfam problem on Sunday an additional report came out claiming that Oxfam workers at Hughes prostitutes in Chad in
2006 and here's the least shocking shocking news you'll get at the time Vann how her Mirren same guys Haiti was the country director for
Chat former Chad aide workers said they would invite the women to parties
We knew they weren't just friends with something else the source also said that one senior staff member was fired in
2006 for misconduct relating to hiring prostitutes in chat Oxfam would not confirm that they had records of these incidents
But did say that workers in Chad were under a strict curfew due to security concerns
as far as what we've seen today today the deputy chief executive of Oxfam Great Britain penny Lorenz has resigned from her position and she
said in a statement over the last few days
We've become aware that concerns were raised about the behavior of staff and Chad as well as Haiti that we failed to adequately act upon
It is now clear that these allegations involving the use of
prostitutes in which related behavior of both the country director and members of his team in chad were raised before he moved to Haiti has
program director at the time
I am ashamed that this happened on my watch
And I take full responsibility
on response to these reports hades ambassador to the UK
Said you might be dealing with a pedophile where prostitution is illegal and we believe they may have been underaged kids also adding Oxfam should
Recognize they failed and showed a lack of leadership
Adding that legal action against Oxfam was also being considered notes really where we end on this story of Oxfam trying to minimize the problem
You know it's a it's a few bad apples but based off of this story
It's hard to not think this is a much bigger issue
I mean publicly in their annual report there were 87 allegations of sexual abuse by staff in
2016 to 2017 that's only about what's being talked about above the board former International Development?
Secretary Preity Patel has also said there is a culture of denial around
Exploitation and sexual abuse and the aid sector and covering the story that we just covered
It's hard not to think that the real numbers are much high you have people like Ronald Van Hauer Muir and who?
Seemingly just went on shattered years and years
Unchecked and when he did get in trouble Oxfam seemingly tried to bury the story the the real meat of the story to protect
The public image of the the organization they they say to protect the women most likely to protect the funds they receive from the government
Oxfam gets around a hundred seventy six million pounds a year from the government and other public authorities
And so it will be very interesting to see what further fallout
We see whether other resignations firing if the government decides to pull more funding
We'll have to wait and see and actually I want to just pass the question off to you
What is your takeaway from this when it comes to charities?
Are you very trusting you often do a lot of research to see how they spend their money?
What does this make you think about Oxfam in general as an entire organization?
I'd love to know your thoughts actually not just on this last one the last story the first one anything between I'd love to know
