google. >> searching for answers on google. a quirky california company has transformed the way the world finds things out. >> early on in web search engine history there were actually editors who were trying to make a list of all the good websites. and that's why google's appearance on the scene changed everything. >> google scans over 4 billion web pages for matching results. google chooses these results through a mix of looking for the closest word match and judging a page's relevance by counting how many other pages link to it. >> google came up with a simple algorithm and basically it decides for itself which are the most important sites, the most likely sites to have the answer you're looking for. >> that makes for a very efficient search, and word of how it works is getting around. >> when you make a big leap like that, you immediately become the winner. >> obviously, everybody wants to be successful. but i want to look back on making a big difference in the world. >> google's goal is

this is google, facebook, amazon may be uber. then what should be done with them if they're having this concentration of power which is a threat? >> guest: the traditional american approach when we we'vd monopolies in the past, and we have had monopolies many times in the past. the traditional approaches is to par antimonopoly laws to do two things. to break up something that is too big or if it's necessary that something is big, if it's a network like a telephone network or a telegraph network or a railroad network, we have all these different laws that we can use to neutralize the power in that monopoly. in the case of google, facebook, amazon, we're dealing with the 21st century equivalents of the railroad, at&t. so we have all these tools that we can use in our traditional toolbox that a perfectly apt to do with google facebook and amazon travel we'll get into some of those tools and i think best to use but want to bring ashley gold of politico in. >> so speaking of google, going up most recent news, google received a lot of

host: we want to bring google and political into the monopolization. >> google received a lot of flak or offeringing up, to send someone not at the ceo level. >> i think they should show up. it's necessary for all corporate leaders in the united date to show deference to the people sitting in congress. it is just a basic type of respect. the mistake on their part. >> it seems like the attention became worse. they were not there to defend themselves so everybody piled onto them for not being there. accuse them of not wanting to answer questions about doing work in china and other countries that don't have america's same ideals. do you think that is true? that they were scared and wanted on to those sorts of questions? or is it something bigger? there is a reason to just not show up. you aren't asked the questions and maybe you will slide by. maybe something else will happen and the attention of the public will be focused on something else. happen during those hearings. so they didn't get to slide by. in terms of there being something else, google as an institution has not shown, tradit

blue cross means it means the ad has been played in from google's network of appetizers so google knows you need a washing machine and has played the corresponding advice to. their friends have a second to. notice a thing. the advertising space was basically auctioned off in the background it's a complex process operating in the background in real time anyone who uses the internet will be familiar with the phenomenon of adverts following them around and it's a revolution for the entire advertising market. google brokers advertising to newspapers and takes a big cost of thirty percent. we visited google's offices in ballin. with. the monitors in the foyer display the most popular search terms in germany at this very second. this billion dollar company plays down its role and insists that it's on the newspapers signed. so there is no competition between daily newspapers and google is in and we are an important partner for the publishers about on several that. we help to market advertising space on the website this generates a lot of money we deliver traffic for the publisher to provide to

ashley: speaking of google, going off the most recent news, google received a lot of flak for not showing up to the recent congressional hearings or offering to show up, but sending someone not at the ceo level. wide you think they hesitated to send a ceo? do you think they should have showed up? was that a mistake? barry: i absolutely think they should show up. i think it is necessary for all corporations in the united states, all corporate leaders in the united states, to show deference to the people of the united states, sitting in congress.that is just a basic type of respect that we the people have demanded since the beginning of this country. so i think that was a mistake on their part. i hope they learn from it. i would expect in the future they will show up, sent a much more high-level executive to washington. ashley: it seems like the attention became worse because they didn't show up, because they were not there to defend themselves, so everyone kind of piled onto them for not being there. some lawmakers accused them of not wanting to answer questions about doing work in china,

i started in journalism before google existed. i wrote my first book while google was really coming into its modern state. i saw just how, what a terrific extra set of abilities that gave me. i was able to write more and write more rapidly. so we have to recognize these are fantastic technologies. we don't want to give a these technologies. we want to make them safe for us so that the people who control the technologies are not using them to manipulate us, to enrich themselves, controlled the political system. in terms of google. again, all the tools we need to deal with these threats. everyone of them is something we've tested time and again in the 20th century. many of these tools we can carry back. >> i wanted to ask you about the political climate right now. you mentioned [inaudible] what do you think his take on all of this is in dearborn if it the doj or will take up these issues in any positions that your organization would be in favor of during the administration. >> yeah, i can't speak for mr. bell ringing. i've spoken wi

time is running out for google. eighty hours a week on their smart phones for these millennial's or whatever. >> but how so? make that connection. >> when a technology is no longer serving as customer then and to have that advertised model and collecting data from millions of customers for free and it wants to capture all the data of all the customers to transform that data and google knows what you want even before you know it yourself. and they cannot turn down that but the way the advertiser must be to be constrained. and then to be in crisis today. there at the top of their game but that digital equipment and ibm were dominant forces with google and facebook and all of these companies to have that fundamental flaw of escaping the obligations of security and liabilities. and that transmission of the real marketplace. by this strategy. and sergei brin was the author of this insight what if it is all three? we went off market. but you cannot compete with free. that relieves you of the burdens of protecting because

in a link to video google's top executives revealed her true thoughts on donald trump's twenty sixteen election victory raising questions over political bias. for getting to your international first this hour for you the world and t. doping watchdog has announced that it will discuss reinstating the russian anti-doping agency rosado was declared non-compliant in two thousand and fifteen after an alleged drug scandal even staying there will be. officially discussed on september twentieth says that it has fulfilled all of the criteria in order to be reinstated. murderess having a holiday for how and only strengthening the case against them that's just a taste of the response they're greeted artie's interview with the two russians accused of carrying out the nerve agent poisoning in the u.k. city of salzburg russia's foreign minister is just spoken on the issue for the first time since our exclusive during a joint news conference with his german counterpart here's what they both had to say. on the ship all our official requests received just formal notes and even simply spoken responses b

that's why the world trust google. but what if google is lying to you? what if the results you got were secretly waited to get you to vote a certain way, to believe ? that would affect a lot of people and a lot of votes. it would be impossible to have a real democracy under circumstances like that. a small number of incredibly rich people would be in charge of everything, including your perceptions. that is a major concern for all of us because google is a very political company who recently showed your email evidence of a google effort to collude with a left-wing group in support of hillary clinton the pots are as presidential campaign. we have internal documents that google employees are corrupting the search engine to push propaganda on hundreds of millions of own funds except -- google employees began plotting ways to under manning the president executive order. a google product marketing manager named mckenzie thomas send an email to a group of fellow employees.

fine with google. it shouldn't be fine with the u.s. congress who is scheduled to testify on capitol hill next week. the topic is privacy. it would be nice if one elected representative asked about this, because it's much scarier anything that russia ever attempted. peter schweitzer of "clinton cash," he joins us tonight. are you surprised by this? >> not really. further confirmation that google has been cooking the books as it relates to search. you're absolutely right.fihe this would be like a company having a brainstorming session on how we are going to fiddle with the books and accounting. then you step back and say, no, we were just having a brainstorming session. it speaks to the culture of the company. they are prepared to put their thumb on the scale and shift the debate in favor of the direction they want totoey go. >> tucker: this is so corrupt. i was stunned by it. i was worried these emails were not authentic because -- search is the core of google's business. many different things, but it'

google has always claimed its hands were collina when it came to political bias hate speech or other inappropriate content the company always claimed it had.

google, go. google is one of the most powerful companies on the planet. they are responsible for about 90% of all searches online, they are more than 1.2 trillion searches on google each year, globally. more than 2 billion people use its android mobile platform. and they've made $110.8 billion in revenue last year alone. but when smaller companies, smaller companies like chick-fil-a or hobby lobby or in-n-out burger, when they move in the smallest of ways to support more traditional or even conservative causes, those companies are sued and vilified nonstop by the mainstream media. well, when i giant like google s to actively undermine the political will of the american people, the media don't cover it. you know my? because the media agree with the google agenda. this is one of my favorite moments from the google anti-trump corporate rally. speak your last question. >> is there anything positive you see from this election? [laughter] >> boy, that's a really tough one right now. >> laura: that's ac

every day. >> jump onto google and search for google accounts. there'll be very clear indication how to get to settings and we try to make it as easy as possible. also investing heavily in tools like your privacy checkup in security check up or we invite people into the experience of that can optimize settings in a way that makes sense to them. >> i think that's good. i don't know how heavily you push the information out because i am somebody who values my privacy as i think most of the montana, probably most people in this room do. and if i could say this website doesn't go anywhere else besides my house come in the information off of it, i would do it every time. but i've never, ever seen that option to be honest with you. maybe i'm just not paying attention. thank you very much. thank you for flexibility. >> is a follow-up to that, is google taking specific steps to ensure that app developers still transfer gmail user data to third parties? >> thank you comes another. appreciate the opportunity to address this because there's been confusing on

google's business model is simple users searching the internet tell google about themselves allowing google to sell targeted advertising to businesses the firm i.p.o. that eighty five dollars a share in two thousand and four and quickly rose in value. new products like google mail and acquisitions like you tube expanded google from a search engine into an online network where users could shop news. as the mobile internet and apps began to rise google moved to make up ground to pioneer apple releasing the android operating system and app store. today google employs more than eighty five thousand people worldwide and is worth more than seven hundred billion dollars it has fifteen data centers around the world and that's part of the problem information is increasingly seen as something to protect tech firms are being held to new standards of social responsibility. and insight google pushes for gender diversity and against collaboration with governments like the u.s. or china. so a lot of transformation in only twenty years. and to talk more about this i'm joined in the studio now by d.w

it turns out google and mastercard -- select google advertisers contract whether the ads they ran online lead to a sale in a physical store. the companies never told mastercard users of this arrangement. i want to bring in a bloomberg analyst. how does this work? >> they announced a technology last year but they didn't say they had done a deal with mastercard to get it done. >> is this legal? has a law been broken here? in not disclosing this? >> probably not. it is a classic case of when you sign up for a mastercard when you sign up for google services, page 24 paragraph three says something like you give us permission to use data for marketing purposes. that is generally the phrase that mastercard users in the agreements for sure. >> google is in hot water with the president. we don't know how much teeth his threats have. how does this pile on to what google is already dealing with? >> those are two separate issues. the search issue and the bias issue. on the privacy side, it cuts to the core of what google does. the general pact we make with google and facebook is we get great service

google wasn't the first. and still many mole but what has sent its past its competitors was just the right time all how did it work it was it was there as a bunch of other search engines were there but it was it was simply better at the beginning it was it took what was basically a simple query system matching web pages by the search word itself and went further i'm not going get into it here it's well complex but it's called the page rank system and it really said google part consumers notice it that they were getting better better results and so they flocked to google and that in turn allowed google to really roll out its ad words advertising program and that's where the pay per click advertising program so as more people flocked to google its dominance of the search markets grew up and its advertising volume also grew and by the time other advertisers or other search engines were able to catch up and do the same thing it was too late they've they've dominate the market now china is now on top of google's a

they imposture see if google has once again been called into question now after a leaked video showed the company's executives expressing disappointment back in two thousand and sixteen donald trump selection when donald school set picks up the story. google's always tried to maintain a political front but recently tells a very different story and if true it outlines google's executives pick for president in the twenty sixteen presidential elections most people here are. pretty upset pretty sad for. you because of the election and i certainly find the selection deeply offensive and i know many of you do too this is none other than surrogate brin google's cofounder and if his assumption that every worker in the video was a clinton voter was upsetting it gets worse. that was the first moment i really felt like we were going to lose and it was really doing all it did feel like a ton of bricks dropped on my chest and that right there is the chief financial officer of google's parent company alphabet ruth poor at holding back tears at the thought of their election defeat but whose defeat e

google. news paper and takes a big cost of thirty percent. we visited google's offices in. the monitors in the foyer a display the most popular such terms in germany at this very second. this billion dollar company pays down its role and insists that it's on the newspaper's side. so there is no competition between daily newspapers and google is in part and we are an important partner for the publishers that on several of us we help to market advertising space on the website this generates a lot of money we deliver traffic for the publisher to provide tools and services that journalists can use in their everyday working lives and our news initiative is developing better technologies faster mobile web sites video channels your digital subscriptions google subscriptions and open up new sources of revenue for the publishing houses we do an awful lot to help newspaper publishers and journalists in germany. and of quarterback owners make you think that publishers are doing really well and it's all thanks to google but the opposite is actually the case one out of every money out o

google has always claimed its hands were collina when it came to political bias hate speech or other inappropriate content the company always claimed it had its reasons but with insight into what the top brass at google is apparently thinking perhaps it's time for a better understanding of what bias really means a quarter r.t. . the founder of the walkaway campaign brendan straka found himself from facebook this week and came off the here and now it's an interview with the controversial info what was media platform the band however was if days later shortly after walk away is of b.m. and saying they are just doing what they can to minimize civilian casualties. we see them taking steps is it perfect no absolutely not do we see them doing what they can to mitigate civilian casualties absolutely we do well the comments came after the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o certified to congress the saudi led coalition is undertaking demonstrably actions that certificate allows washington to continue providing aid to riyadh and its war against rebels and al-qaeda terrorists in yemen the sa

google said advertisers will need to be certified with google's -- with google for the specific country in which the ad will serve. staying with google, the company has been a favorite punching bag of conservative politicians of late. first player -- president trump claiming of news and search were biased against him and republicans. for not sending its leaders to testify on capitol hill. be meeting with lawmakers to defend google saying in a statement, i look forward to meeting with members on both sides of the aisle and answering a wide range of questions and explaining our approach. the meetings will continue google's long history of engaging with congress am including testifying seven times to congress this year. to discuss we have been brodie who covers tech lobbying and tom giles. will testifypichai at some point this year after the midterm elections, but what can you tell us about this meeting with lawmakers and what might transpire there? ben: the focus will be on two things. one is the allegations of anti-conservative i is that you talked about. that sort of punching bag we hav
