Facebook's New Watch Tab Does Not Look Like a You. Tube Killer at All. On Wednesday, Facebook announced the rollout of Watch, what it is calling “a new platform for shows on Facebook.” It’s yet another foray by the social media company from the business of distributing other people’s content into producing and licensing its own, and differs from its existing video content in that it looks a lot like Netflix or You. Tube’s apps. Watch content will be “produced exclusively for it by partners,” who will take 5. That content will be spread via channels like “Most Talked About” or “What’s Making People Laugh” categories that will be determined by how users interact with it. Watch will offer both a live comment feed where users can interact with the wider Facebook audience—something that already exists with Facebook Live streams—and the ability to “participate in a dedicated Facebook Group for the show.”Here’s a few shots of what it will look like on various formats, as shown in the press release.

On Wednesday, Facebook announced the rollout of Watch, what it is calling “a new platform for shows on Facebook.” It’s yet another foray by the social media.

It definitely looks slick and polished, but even this initial glimpse hints that Watch is not the You. Tube or Snapchat killer Facebook wants it to be. Facebook’s launch programming for the new video section is, uh, not exactly the A- list talent one might think a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars could secure.

It includes Nas Daily, a show from a guy who quit his job to make one- minute travel videos “together with his fans from around the world” (a preview clip is titled “We Bought 1. Burgers”); a live show where motivational speaker Gabby Bernstein will interact with Facebook users; a cooking show where children will attempt to make a recipe; and in probably Facebook’s biggest grab, one live game of Major League Baseball a week. Another show mentioned in the launch is Returning the Favor, where host Mike Rowe “finds people doing something extraordinary for their community, tells the world about it, and in turn does something extraordinary for them.” Yet another focuses on “the passion and community of big- time high school football in Texas.”There’s a few more interesting options, like a NASA science show, and a live Nat Geo Wild safari program. But none of this seems particularly edgy or hard- hitting. It’s the definition of safe. This is the kind of generic filler that forms so much of You. Tube’s bread and butter—but if that’s all they have lined up, what could possibly lure people from You.

Tube itself, which has long been pumping out much more interesting content tailored to virtually every niche interest and community? Facebook’s content strategy is almost certainly to prove functionality and its ability to drive users to the service, and then try to lure other content producers to the service. But like a number of Facebook products before it, it’s unclear why publishers would want to use the platform.

For example, Facebook Live already allows publishers to stream content like protests or post- Game of Thrones commentary live to their pages. They can also push regular video content wherever they want without an exclusive deal, whether it’s Facebook, Twitter or You. Tube, and all three of these channels can be embedded elsewhere. Another goal could be to compete with Snapchat, which lots of publishers have started using to push short- form video content.

But it’s not clear how Watch will get those users to return by replicating some of Snapchat’s functionality, especially since the latter company’s video content tends to be in reality or unscripted formats which seem nicely in tune with its overall aesthetic. This looks a lot like Facebook’s attempt to push publishers into the same kind of walled garden they built with Instant Articles.

Large sections of the media were spooked it was a prelude to Facebook choking off traffic to other websites—why would Facebook let you link out when they can force you to live in the garden, right?—but the concept has stalled somewhat, as Instant wasn’t driving enough additional traffic to offset its lower advertising revenue. Facebook has a tendency to build platforms it just loses interest in. Instant is still around, but in a diminished role as Facebook tweaked its algorithm to drive users to friends’ posts, video content and most recently another story format to compete with Snapchat. In the past few days, it’s killed off its standalone Facebook Groups app and Lifestage, a “high schoolers only” Snapchat knockoff that ended up ranked #1,3.

App Store’s social media category. It’s certainly possible Watch will help Facebook swallow more and more of the internet into its ever- expanding gullet. But supplying a nice- looking video platform does not automatically create demand, and Facebook has repeatedly stumbled to create a business model that will keep both users and publishers inside of it instead of clicking out.

We’ll see. No word on whether Donald Trump’s “real news” program will get a slot, but we doubt it.[Facebook]* Correction: Wednesday, not Tuesday.

Common interrogation technique suspected of causing false confessions. As she voluntarily entered the police interrogation room in Moline, Illinois, four years ago, Dorothy Varallo- Speckeen thought she was there to help solve a child- abuse case.

She soon realized, however, Detective Marcella O’Brien thought she — a then- 2. In the videotaped interrogation, O’Brien said, “I’m not trying to point fingers, but I know for a fact that the injury occurred during the time when you guys were watching Brylee,” referring to Varallo- Speckeen and her girlfriend and the 1. O’Brien subjected Varallo- Speckeen to an interrogation that sought to extract a confession. Her tactics are common in law enforcement, but some experts say they can coerce false confessions and should be abandoned. Last year, the conviction of Brendan Dassey, the Wisconsin teenager charged with helping his uncle murder a young woman in 2.

In June, the 7th Circuit U. S. Court of Appeals upheld that decision. The case is featured in the 2. Netflix series, Making a Murderer. Krista Johnson / Iowa. Watch. Dorothy Varallo- Speckeen holds up her mug shot from July 2.

Varallo- Speckeen pleaded guilty to, and served time for, misdemeanor battery causing bodily harm but says she felt coerced into admitting to a crime she says she didn't commit. Some of the tactics used in interrogating Dassey were at play when O’Brien grilled Varallo- Speckeen about the baby’s injury. During that interrogation O’Brien talked over Varallo- Speckeen, interrupted and rejected or cut off denials and repeatedly pushed O’Brien’s theory — that Varallo- Speckeen had broken the legs of the young girl.

Maybe she was too rough changing a diaper, or maybe she accidentally hurt the child, O’Brien suggested time and again. Despite Varallo- Speckeen’s insistence that she wasn’t too rough, that she did not hurt the toddler, that she had not changed the baby’s diaper during the hours in question, O’Brien held to the theory that Varallo- Speckeen was to blame. After nearly two hours in the interrogation room and after O’Brien once more insisted that Varallo- Speckeen must have caused the injuries, Varallo- Speckeen relented.

It happened when Varallo- Speckeen recalled the moment her girlfriend first said the child’s legs were broken. Varallo- Speckeen: And so then she was like well, her legs are broke, and then I was confused like how, how did that happen? That was my reaction. O’Brien: OK. So what do you think now? Varallo- Speckeen: I think it was because I was changing her diaper. Looking back on that day, July 2.

Varallo- Speckeen now 2. O’Brien coerced that confession. The detective and Moline police officials declined several requests for interviews over several months about the case and interrogation practices.

O’Brien’s tactics mirrored the Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation, which researchers describe as the gold standard for interrogating suspects. A majority of law enforcement officials are being trained to use it or another method based on it. Critics note that more than one- fourth of wrongfully convicted suspects later exonerated with DNA evidence had given a false confession or incriminating statement, according to the Innocence Project, a nonprofit that works to exonerate the wrongly convicted. Some critics point to a technique used in the United Kingdom as an effective and fair alternative. Known as PEACE, the approach focuses more on gathering information than eliciting confessions. Andy Griffiths, a retired United Kingdom detective superintendent, said his country no longer sees cases going to the UK’s appeals court because of false confessions.

But Joseph Buckley, president of John E. Reid and Associates, stands by the technique, saying it is an ethical and efficient way to obtain justice, and he denies false confessions and the Reid Technique are related. He said the Reid Technique’s core principles are aimed at preventing false confessions. Buckley said, for example, that interrogators are instructed to get corroborating details in the suspect’s written statement.

To understand police interrogation techniques, Iowa. Watch interviewed experts, read police records of the case, analyzed the video and transcript of Varrallo- Speckeen’s interrogation and compared it to Reid methods. Statements heard in the interrogation video indicate that two others and possibly a third were alone with the child during the time in which she was injured. The incident. Two months before the incident, Varallo- Speckeen and her girlfriend, Jennifer Schafer, 3.

Schafer’s friend, Jami Kepple. Kepple’s mother, Kim Linhart, and cousin, Brad Hessell, lived in the apartment upstairs. At 5 a. m. on July 2. Kepple took her daughters to the apartment of her mother, Linhart, before leaving for work.

Normally Linhart watched her grandchildren, but Hessell, the cousin, said he watched the girls because Linhart was ill. Krista Johnson / Iowa. Watch. Nearly four years since her arrest in July 2. Dorothy Varallo- Speckeen stands outside her East Moline home that she shares with her girlfriend Jennifer Schafer. Around 7: 3. 0 a. Hessell took the girls downstairs for Varallo- Speckeen and Schafer to watch while he went to work.

Hessell told Schafer that Brylee was not feeling well and to give her Tylenol. She slept until 1. Schafer changed her diaper.“When I picked her up to change her diaper, she was real fussy,” Schafer told Iowa.

Watch. “Like every time you moved her, like when I picked up her legs to slide the diaper in and out, she just kind of screamed a little at me; I thought maybe her belly hurt, thought maybe when I pulled her legs up it squished on her belly.”Later, Schafer took Jasmine, Kepple’s eldest daughter, outside to play, while Brylee and Varallo- Speckeen napped on the couch. When Schafer returned about 4. Varallo- Speckeen was awake, but Brylee was still sleeping on Varallo- Speckeen’s chest. When Kepple returned from work at 1: 3. Brylee to Illini Hospital in Silvis, Illinois.“There was clearly something wrong, but nobody knew what,” Schafer said. She just wasn’t acting herself.” Schafer told O’Brien that Kepple said the hospital found nothing seriously wrong with Brylee. The next day, July 2.

Brylee’s legs were swollen, and Kepple took her to Trinity East Hospital in Moline, where staff discovered the child’s legs were broken. Police were called, and Detective O’Brien soon focused on Varallo- Speckeen. The interview. When the Reid Technique was introduced in 1. The creator of the technique was a former Chicago detective, John E. Reid, and he had elicited his first confession using it in 1.

Whether O’Brien had received Reid training could not be determined, because she refused repeated interview requests. However, her tactics followed the technique. Starting with a “behavioral analysis interview,” investigators are taught to ask non- threatening questions to understand the individual’s demeanor, then decide whether he or she is lying based on verbal and nonverbal cues.

Steve Drizin, legal director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth, represented Brendan Dassey in his appeal against his murder conviction. A federal judge in Milwaukee last year overturned Dassey's conviction, finding the then- 1. The Wisconsin Department of Justice is fighting Dassey's release. But Reid’s opponents say it is impossible to detect deception accurately.“You simply cannot tell whether a person is lying or telling the truth based on those cues,” said Stephanie Madon, an Iowa State University psychology professor who researches why people confess to crimes they did not commit.

The Reid Technique tells interrogators there is not any one cue or response that can determine deception, and that all behavioral cues need to be analyzed.“But in the course of a high pressure investigation, these are snap judgments being made by detectives, and they’re often wrong,” said Steve Drizin, legal director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth, who represented Dassey in his appeal.
