it is still on facebook it is yeah. this video is used in facebook's training as an example of the kind of child abuse that should be marked as disturbing and left almost silent. if that's being used as an example for motivators of what is considered acceptable to say what is tolerated on facebook is is is is truly shocking this is very the justification for why they allow contact. in order to pay off the end of the haitian and rescue of victims of the physical abuse we may not immediately remove this content from facebook it's perfectly possible for facebook to take down footage of child abuse and for that to be passed to the north of 4 copies of the t.v. or to be retained if that will assist in a law enforcement in a police say investigation it's difficult to conclude why that material would need to stay on the site we know that for as long as that content command on a social media site then that exacerbates the trauma that children might feel not only has that child been subject to sustained physical abuse but unfort

was that on facebook. and individual shared it i want to be clear that that's not acceptable that shouldn't be that material should have been taken down on the site that you went to the c.p.l. site you see part of the total system so those are the front line reviewers but behind them sits a team of child safety experts facebook full time staff they will make an assessment of whether the child is at risk they will make a decision about what to do with the content including referring it to law enforcement agencies where that's a program. after we made facebook aware of this child abuse video it was still available on the platform they told us they have now reviewed the material used to train new moderators. just this year or on more than just one car. so they were just saying basically if i said to me i'm pretty sure they're minors. it's kind of just to go fighting. over up at the very mention of a school stuff and that kind of thing. our reporter was moderating a video showing 2 teenage girls fighting both

, is this really a threat to the business model of a twitter and of a facebook? >> hi, mel >> hi, guy >> well, it's definitely a threat, but i think it's more of a veiled threat than anything else twitter has had a tremendous run and it was due to take a bit of a breather and these headlines obviously helped, but i think this is more and i'll use the word and i'm sure i'll get some added at me and it's more bluster than anything else i do think twitter out of all of these things still sets up the best and probably the most undervalued in terms of the names you just mentioned and the thing that concerns me technically is since september of last year you've had this series of lower lows and lower highs and this seems to be forming another one. technically, it's got to hold basically 30 bucks, but out of the names you mentioned i'm more inclined to own twirt thtter thh other three. >> the varying stances that a twitter and facebook have in terms of expansion twitter saying it will weigh on this by putting that fact check on certain political tweets. does that matter

facebook. what's fueling this move simple kind of startling for some they have the beleaguered the economy with the small business initiative that will basically let you open a digital store on facebook or instagram, by the way, partner with shopify. i think this is the future of small business lots of sole proprietors making things work over the web, forced out of brick and mortar. rent is too high apparently facebook agrees while i've been lukewarm of on some of facebook's actions over the years, this can make a positive difference in a time of painful unemployment and sputtering small and medium-size business more on that later when we speak to cheryl sand berg. first we need to understand what's happening in the big-box retail space because the pandemic's hit them very differently. remember, they're essential in the struggling smaller chains. it's tough to take the pulse of the consumer here because there's too much we don't know and we're in unprecedented situation. however, we know that l

president donald trump the president will reportedly target facebook and twitter in an executive order regarding social media according to a draft that appears to have leaked online now the draft version of the order which could still change names facebook google and twitter and targets a section of u.s. law under which to platforms largely aren't liable for what their users post and are fairly free to police content joining us now to discuss co-host investigative journalist of course ben swan now ben there's a lot to unpack your what exactly is the rule that president trump is attempting to amend and why is he actually doing that and how big of a deal would it be for these social media companies. yes so for started at the very end there it's a very big deal it's actually something i've been calling for for about 2 years the president now talking about whether or not he can or cannot do this the truth is we don't even know if the president can do this let's talk about what he's trying to do so what the president is trying to do is issue an executive order that would essentially clamp d

do you think that facebook can influence the way people vote? well, there were a lot of questions and issues that you raised in what you just said. i think that the reality here is we've learned a lot since about how politics work online since 2016 and there are a lot of different threats that we've worked hard to mitigate. so, for example, one big area that we were behind on in 2016 — but i think now are quite advanced at — is identifying and fighting these coordinated information campaigns that come from different state actors around the world whether it's russia, or iran, or in some cases china. in 2016, this was a new kind of tactic. but now since then, we've worked with governments and the intelligence community and other tech companies to identify — i think it's about 50 different campaigns like this around the world where different states were trying to interfere — and take those down before they were able to cause a lot of harm. we've taken down billions of fake accounts across the system, and we have also taken a lot of measures

facebook has a larger counterterrorism department than the state department. it does not seem that strange that they would. i think this is one of the reasons that i thought it's worth paying attention to. >> the list of companies that qualify is google, amazon, facebook, and microsoft and you anticipated my question tesla. >> one of the things i looked on the book not just how tech companies are expanding into governmental domain by how their expanding into real life physical an and for structuring services. this is something that tesla and elon musk and his many sister companies is really doing in some ways than anyone else with his solar city operation, they are pursuing partnerships with government to provide electricity, he is now moving into phase was star link, there's a lot of endeavors where they're not looking at their prime products and services like cars that are really changing the way that we think about public infrastructure. for instance with the boring company, they are producing high speed rail in chicago. >> that's a brandy mechanism that el

this audience will be ok with facebook saying that -- would not be ok with facebook saying we noticed that you read too many atlantic articles, you need to watch some alex jones. then you would think. we look at the knees quality crisis and the quality of people's newsfeeds go down if you turn off the algorithm because the ratio of how much people post of crappy news posts versus them writing something up about their kids or their birthday or that kind of stuff is a 10-1 ratio. the algorithms, even in 2016 overemphasize people posting about interpersonal things. we have to be careful. the youtube algorithm, the has-beens -- there has been studies that shows -- there have been people looking at ways to change the intention. we have to look at ways to slow people down and slow down the speed at which information will flow in a viral contest on social media in cases like on instagram, they have done an experiment less about fake news and more about making people nicer to each other, slowing people down as they respond to somebody in a way that sounds like it is mean. it is saying do you

do you believe this could be game changing for facebook? to be fair they have tried e-commerce and it hasn't panned out on the social network. >> when i found out i was going to get time with mark zuckerberg i was wondering why he was spending his valuable time kind of promoting a product that facebook sort of already had. that was my mindset going into the call and by the time i got off, i was more convinced and part of the reason was that he seems to be very personally invested in this and when the ceos of these companies get personally invested, they usually give them more time and resources and it could be the difference between something working and not working. i think that facebook is going to do one smart thing here, let these shops operate across all of their assets. if you are a retailer and you can create one shop that reaches , that's it fore the compelling use case and they will see a lot of people actually trying to get involved in this early on. all right, kurt, thank you so much. check out bloomberg.com for more of that inte

so it's not like facebook bought instagram and, therefore, facebook is successful. it's not like google built gmail and, therefore, google is successful. there's this underlying culture that is in place inside the tech giants that have led them to be so dominant and thought it would be a shame if they kept that to themselves. there was never going to be a point in time with the tech giants would say here's our manual for being successful, go ahead, rest of the world, take notes and in-depth figuring out what we do well and beat us that we. they just were not going hand it over. from my perspective as as a journalist with background attached on labor relations, organizational culture i could find a way to write this down and then put together in the book and then give it to the rest of the common in way that would allow them to compete with the tech giants and bring it into a new form of working which i believe we all headed to in the tech giants just have a head start on. that was the idea. i found this thing going on inside these companies and my plan was to reveal

facebook is learly smaller than google. has a lotee, facebook of communities around there, a people are spending money. direct response is really high instagram is at doing very, very well and around commerce is extremely high, facebook and instagram and anybody on nstagram that has bought anything knows what i'm talking about. you end up buying things you need, you see the picture and you clear through. hat is so big for the advertisers that we speak to that sell sweatpants or stay-at-home gear. we think ultimately you know, again, no one is immune. we think they're all the risk. we do think again, we have earning e in the $10 number for facebook and again a low 20 multiple gets you into a stock.level of no one is going to be immune out of this. right, brent thill, always good to have your perspective here on the show. coming up, ime, thousands of food network cooking classes, only some them fore going to get free. we'll tell you who coming up speak with the c.e.o. direct consumers at discovery. e.a. is faring in the indus

we did in experiment at facebook. the quality of people's newsfeeds go down if you turn off the algorithmic ranking because the ratio of how much people post of crappy news posts versus them writing something up about their kids or their birthday or that kind of stuff is a 10-1 ratio. the algorithms, even in 2016 overemphasized people posting about interpersonal things. rather than re-sharing. we have to be careful. the youtube algorithm -- there have been studies it can lead to radicalization but also in other studies exposed people to information they wouldn't have seen. we have to look at ways to slow people down and slow down the speed at which information will flow in a viral context social media. in cases like on instagram, they have done an experiment less about fake news and more about making people nicer to each other, slowing people down as they respond to somebody in a way that sounds like it is mean. saying, do you really want to respond this way? and making people take a moment to think before they act. t

facebook has to adapt to the powerful in every country in which it operates. let us be clear, the issue on the pandemic is that facebook's platform because it promotes conspiracy theories and disinformation disproportionately, has allowed our pandemic response to become an issue in the culture war, as opposed to something we treat nationally as a crisis as it actually is and that is entirely on instagram, facebook, twitter, and youtube for allowing that to happen their business model lets that happen you know, they have to stay attached because their product is ubiquitous, and in authoritarian regimes as you have in brazil and russia, they have to do what the regime wants. in the united states obviously they're going to stay as close to the president as they can because he's in power and he can do things like present executive orders that are a distraction. >> i think this arbiters of truth thing is a red herring and i think you sort of alluded to that too the reason is, because i think the social media platforms are already de factos, arbiters of truth in the

my interview with facebook ceo mark zuckerberg just moments away and a live look at the white house, the briefing set to start any minute now, busy hour. i'm dana perino and this is "the daily briefing." we will bring you the briefing as soon as it starts, but we begin with the unrest on the streets of minneapolis. fires and looting in the wake of violent protests. the death of a black man in police custody rocking the city once again. the mayor calling for the national guard and the family of george floyd calling for justice. mike tobin reporting live for minneapolis. >> i can give you a tour right now in the aftermath of the area around the third precinct. use all those pictures of the apartment complex that was under construction that was engulfed in flames last night but firefighters are here cooling down the embers left over. even a little fire going right now and it looks like one of the firefighters is going to go and get it as we take a tour around, here is the wendy's, the auto zone that we showed you when they set the fire last night. as we watch that fire get started and b

vrmts welcome back shares of facebook climbing again. they are continuing to expand in vein ventures like shopping today video meeting. we have highlights and what else they might be up to. >> that's right. mark zuckerberg announcing workplace videos like zoom also announcing occulus for business announcing that facebook's workplace tool now has companies paying for more than five million monthly users. that's two million more than back in october. slack announced 12 million monthly active users more than 20 many peel use the free facebook groups for people to connect to co-workers on the regular facebook platform. all of this speaks to the company and the growing commitment to offer tools for workplace communications as facebook itself shifts to have its employees work more from home projecting that half of facebook's work force will be permanently remote in ten years. >> thank you julia there. workplace is growth shows facebook already positioned to cater to society's post-pandemic needs. working from home, shopping from home, operatin

it is always about the date with facebook's. with -- with facebook. with giphy, they can get insight in how people are using it on all these different apps. to integrate with twitter, tictoc, slack, i message, signal. tentaclesall of these in different parts of the internet. that is extremely valuable for facebook. they have always tried, because they do not own a mobile operating system. they do not have android and they have looked for ways to gather more interesting insight on competitors. i think that is the main reason. but, of course, they are also looking for more ways facebook users can share, especially now that we are home during the coronavirus, we are not taking as many pictures of the things we are doing. we are sharing already recorded media more. that behavior i think will continue. emily: it has been a moment for gifs. are we going to see more m and a now? you have company struggling and companies that need funding. i wonder if big technology is going to come to the rescue to some of these companies more often? interesting because at t

he brought me and my editor into talk about this manifesto on the future of facebook like should they step into people's lives common example is somebody's says they want to hurt themselves to space bar kevin obligation to go again. that is what he is struggling with or when facebook has an obligation to step in and when they don't. i said i have the document was ready to get a lecture and ask a question and go home he said i really want your feedback. and i said that's different like an interesting sales job that he's trying to make me think that he cares. so i didn't have an answer but the meeting was a very interesting briefing. and then i started to ask people what is up with the zuckerberg feedback thing? and it turns out that's just embedded into the facebook culture the posters on the wall that say feedback is a gift and facebook employees take multi- day trainings to receive feedback and so for the book i can sit in on one of those at the beginning of the facebook chapter it was weird and fun i was asked to go up and do something in front of the group and said i don't think so

the only ones we know for sure our facebook and google. they can make it public if they want to but if they have not, the government will not make it public. while we believe apple and amazon are under investigation, that has not been confirmed. for the risk, i see it is google. fined threeeen times by the european commission for violating their monopolization laws. it is called abusive dominance but it is the same as the u.s. monopolization laws. just because that conduct by google violated europe's laws doesn't mean it violates hours but it gets the regulators partway there. it could violate hours. they have a head start with google. looking at the findings of the european agencies, i would say google and then facebook. but for different reasons. with facebook i think they will be looking carefully at its strategy for its past acquisitions and whether those acquisitions have a legitimate business reason or whether the only reason to buy the company was to kill off or get in the way of threatened competition. taylor: some of this has come

facebook or twit centter? that is a tough question. facebo facebook does fact check. let's be clear about that. they tend to split hairs on what they fact check. they don't append it to the politician's post itself and they don't do it the ad, and sometimes the print outs will be created and fact checking is still happening on facebook. >> anything coming from the oval office will add a lot of pressure to any company. does facebook or twitter make any changes in the future? >> i think the real concern for a lot of people, how does it change in the moderation policy. they have taken steps to recognize they have very significant harm on social media. i think the sanly hody hook fam have spoken on this. does it show the perception that moderating a conservative figure might will a problem, and they think about it differently than a liberal figure. there are a lot of nuances and things up in the air. because the order is vague and thrown together. >> rene, what happens next? more restrictions from the oval office or orderers on the horizon? >> i don't really think so. i t

and facebook pays up more than $50000000.00 just strange straits that agents will have to view distressing images as part of their job. hello i'm christine wonderwall come to the program the european commission has unveiled a plan to help revive europe's battered tourism industry and enable people to take their summer holidays off to weeks of coronavirus walked all the pandemic has prompted border closures across europe and temporarily ended all but essential travel the commission's plan and lays out the conditions for reopening borders between shank and members states but fear is off more travel related outbreaks on likely to alter the look and feel off your. yes always. these were your up speeches last summer crowded with some bathers. today they lay empty a consequence of the coronavirus restrictions across the continent the measures to contain the virus have impacted the tourism industry hard over a dozen shang and countries have put emergency border controls in place flights have been canceled and mandatory quarantines for travelers have been instated hospitality lobby groups say the

it was never a problem on facebook. the majority of the people -- all that stuff we saw being pushed those are people sitting , there and doing that. you do not need robots because a lot of these actors are acting in low cost environment. some of the biggest domestic propaganda groups shut down by facebook were outsourcing to places like pakistan to get lower-cost content -- lower-cost talent to create the talent and to push it. a lot of work around detection of a new account. either you are on a big binge or binge or this seems to be a professionally shared account. they have to work around that and i think that will continue. >> there are hybrid accounts. a mixture of bots taking over accounts of real people to make it harder for them to disguise. i want to go back to where we started at the beginning with a sense of urgency that i feel like we are still responding to the things we learned in 2016. and we have an election coming up and we have all these things are acting to shape our behavior right now, so we cannot a

facebook saying companies should not be the arbiter of the truth, facebook does not fact-check political speech. who is right in terms of how they are handling this? there are different platforms, but ultimately, they are saying they are not going to fact-check political speech directly, but if -- but facebook absolutely fact-check -- based -- facebook absolutely fact-checks and has been doing so for years, particularly in areas like the pandemic and voter suppression. twitter has taken the approach of connecting it directly to the president's tweets. it feels a little bit like splitting hairs, but again, facebook is also fact checking. emily: is that statement by mark zuckerberg misleading? >> i have wondered if maybe it was a weird cut of a longer interview and something else was going to come out. of facte a team checking partners recognizing that harmful information and misleading commentary going viral on the platform is impactful. emily: what about twitter? they fact checked a couple of the president's tweets, but to be fair, of everything the president has tweeted, fact checking j

it seems to make a lot of sense strategically and engagement on facebook and the facebook family continues to be very strong and this should help it that much more >>. >> doug, on a day where mpd group reports that fitness equipment sales are up 130% in march want to get your thoughts on peloton, the growth we've seen within that business, and how sustainable it is going forward especially given the fact that we're also getting reports of delivery backlogs >> yeah. so it's a good point when we think about how covid-19 and the environment of the last couple months is changing things, just overall behavior and across our sector, connected in home fitness is one of the key areas. we've seen it in peloton numbers, certainly in q1 and q2. they crossed more than a million connected fitness subscribers. there's substantial backlog there. if you go on the site now you might see eight to nine weeks or somewhere in that range in terms of wait time for a bike. but i put that in the category of good problem to have in terms of so much demand and, you know, since march, they've actually doubled their s

he runs facebook, started facebook. he said. this listen. >> twitter decided for the first time ever to fact check one of president trump's tweets. i'm wondering if you thought that twitter may have made the wrong decision here? >> we have a different policy, i think, than twitter on this. i just believe strongly that facebook shouldn't be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online. i think in general private companies probably shouldn't be or especially these platform companies shouldn't be in the position of doing that. ainsley: you can watch the rest of that interview today with dana perino. the president did also say that he would close down or regulate social media companies that censor conservative voices, brian. brian: right. okay. so, facebook, what an opportune time for dana to interview mark zuckerberg. jack doors can i have says this does not make us an arbiter of truth. our intention is to connect the

facebook wants a piece of it. mark zuckerberg announced the company will recommit to online shopping and commerce, and that he personally will be involved to do so. we are joined by michael levine of pivotal research. he was taking a break from cold water surfing to join us. always great to have you here on the program. give me some of your initial thoughts about facebook's thoughts, and the opportunities it could unlock for the company. for the lead in. i think it is pretty fascinating. clients,r messages to even looking as earnings season has gone by, it is pretty apparent that if you have a store, if you have under invested in your presence online, you need to get there, and get it figured out in a hurry. lot facebook for doing something different than they have done before in their prior attempts. necessarily a new thing to them, marketplace is not new. i don't think it has seen a ton of attraction. investors have been waiting on this for about a year. i think they realize the same thing. it is the time to get

so it's not like, you know, facebook fought into gram, therefore facebook is successful. i believe that there's this underlying culture that is in place by the tech giants that's led to them being so dominant and thought it would be a shame if they kept that to themselves. there was never going to be a point in time where the tech giants would say, here's our manual and go ahead. why don't you take notes and figure out what we do well and beat us that way. they just weren't going to hand that over. and i thought from my perspective as a journalist with a background that touched a little bit on labor relations, organizational culture, i could find a way to write this down and put it together in a book and give it to the rest of the economy in a way that would allow them to compete with the tech giants and actually bring them into a new form of working which i believe we're all headed to, the tech giants just have a held start. so that was the idea. i found this thing going on inside these companies, and my plan was to reveal it in the biggest way possible, the most impactf

facebook decides to take some post challenging. and floating the scientific idea that facebook decides his quackery. the thrust of david's question, isn't that dangerous, the value of where we are headed now with facebook's voluntary decision to create this independent review board is the facebook user if they have their material taken down, could file an appeal to the independent appeals board and they would assess it and there would be a noncorporate body of individuals weighing the evidence and making the decision. >> host: another important pillar of democracy is voting. the pandemic affect our physical ability to conduct fair and widely subscribed voting and elections. i have a question from michael. are there any best practices for conducting elections during this public health emergency. >> guest: the clear best practice is at hand, most election experts think that we should rapidly develop in terms of support, technical, financial support for state and local election administrators to make more broadly available to the publ

facebook was one of those. the three at the top of our list are -- facebook is one of them but i like uber and lyft here. these are good contrarian plays and we will start commuting again and we will start ride sharing again. we're starting to see it i like good assets that have been beaten down fundamentally and stock wise that create buy coming out of this those are three names i like >> finally, mark on baba, a trillion dollars is remarkable but layer on the china risk, are you in a mood to touch anything that has to do with china xh xhix -- economics and cooperation? >> i'm into china economics. in terms of the china regulatory risk and the political u.s. regulatory risk, that's an unknown. you have to deal with that if you want to buy alibaba shares i think valuation is pretty reasonable they just told you they think they can do the equivalent of roughly 100 billion u.s. dollars in revenue the next fiscal year, growing almost 30% go back in history, amazon, when it was at $100 billion in u.s. dollars, they

videos and transcripts of that are still on facebook. so how do you square what i know is facebook's position out free speech when it comes to politicians with politicians spreading misinformation about covid-19? >> so, we're very clear. if you spread misinformation trat the cdc or health min has deemed to be imminently harmful, we will take it dow if there were actual videos saying, "please go drink bleach rht now," those come down, ande relying on health ministries make those determinations. but there are no exctions.on if ais encouraging people to do things like at, that will come down. >> so you guys just made the determination that that was a musing, not a recommendati, and so it didn't cross the line. >> we are not mang those determinations because we can't be arbiters of the truth. we're not health officials. on health official everyone from the cdc to the who to local health ministries, to make those determinations. >> and the world healthza orgaon and the cdc did come out and say that consuming bleach or any sort of disinfectant

we'll show what you facebook ceo mark zuckerberg said about the fact checking and what facebook plans to do or not do about it that comes in the 7:00 a.m. hour >> i love how thoughtful he's being about the idea of working from home and addressing the long-term problems with that the idea that even ambitious people, senior people will be able to work from home and it will not hurt their career path and putting those people first is super important working from home has always been given a little bit of a stigma you can do that but it won't cost you you won't be able to move as quickly as you might have done otherwise. it is thoughtful how they are going about this and not just doing it willy-nilly >> it is fascinating to watch. he is the largest company really in the world doing this at scale. they are trying to hire some 10,000 engineers this year so to find them around the country will be interesting. the economics of all of that even though people will be working from home, i imagine he'll be building almost minioffices in places where people can gather. it will be interesting all o

hughes, who founded the company with you wrote a note saying facebook should be broken up. he said mark alone can decide how to figure it people —— what privacy said e ‘s people can use and and everything. do you, hand on heart, as the controlling shareholder —— a shareholder in facebook, think it's a good idea for that responsibility to be invested in one human being, you? i've actually said publicly that i don't think any one individual or company should make so many decisions of that important values first society. we take a lot of actions on that front. just recently, we've established this independent oversight for it. this oversight will make it so that people in our community can appeal if they think we are making a decision incorrectly on content. this board will have the final say. if they say someone needs to come down or needs to stay up, at that point, it doesn't even matter what i think or what the other folks on our tea m think or what the other folks on our team think. this independent board will make that decision. i do think there needs to be some

and google because facebook and google between the 2 of them control about 95 percent of the ad market on the internet that's an insane thought to think that 2 companies completely dominate the entire ad market but they do and so if you don't use google to sell your ads for you and you're not getting revenue through facebook if they're controlling that space then you can't survive out there as an individual you know web site that says i'll just go out and sell advertising it doesn't work that way anymore and that's one of the the biggest problems right now about it most definitely doesn't ban steve i want to thank you both coming for having this great discussion with us pleasure as always have you both on. thank you guys. are as we go to break remember that you could also start watching orks on demand for the brand new portable t.v. which is available on smartphones for google play on the web store we're searching portable t.v. or you can stream us to your t.v. by downloading the portable t.v. up on apple t.v. and online and portable t v coming up we examined the evaluation of black co

that is something that is wildly more valuable to facebook than it is to google because facebook is all about emotional signals the notion that they're going to be able to integrate this with instagram and use it very intensely at whatsapp is going to give them more insight into what the users are feeling it's going to show who their closest connections are, because you share gifs with people that you share the emotions with. the price tag isn't the issue. the question that regulators are going to face is, you know, at what point do you simply say, i'm sorry these guys have come to monopolize categories we really can't let them extend their reach further. we obviously have not hit that point. there's into indication yet that there's going to be any pushback from the feds on this. there should be. >> can you get a monopoly on digital empathy. i'm trying to imagine what argument will be like. they know too muchabout how people are feeling and can't allow this acquisition how do you rec glats that? >> that's not the right way to look the at problem. facebook has roughly 8 or 9 major compet

what is facebook's role going to be? is this an entity that has more power than the company and they have yet to sort of figure all that out. but they are trying at least to figure out a way to make it look like it's more neutral. the other thing about conservatives on facebook in particular, i would say the president dominates twitter but, the conservatives and president trump figured out a way to best communicate on facebook as well and that ran rings around the hillary clinton campaign in 2016. >> tucker: yeah, that will happen again. if we say something libelous on fox news week could be sued for it. facebook, google, twitter or not, they have a business advantage over every other media platform and in exchange for that wedding congress just say, you can't censor people? why is that hard? >> right. this is the section 2:30 that commissioner carr just talked about as well. i do think that there will be a debate about it coming forward to. washington is always far behind when it comes to legislative new technologies. t
