how much is twitter and his use of twitter a part of that? >> donald trump reminds everyone on a daily, hourly basis of his cruelty with his twitter use. it is not a positive. i have been in so many focus groups with strong trump supporters who will not have anything to say remotely bad about the president, they can be 100% happy with him. what they do say, though, if they would change anything about donald trump, it would be his tweeting habits. no one likes the tweeting. yet donald trump can't control it. it's a habit that he isn't going to break. and you look at how throughout the course of his candidacy and his presidency, he has continued down the same no-holds-barred disinformation, mean-spirited twitter use, and that's just not going to change even if his own supporters don't like it. >> so noah, in terms of the role of twitter in trump's political brand, i hear two very different theories out there. one goes along the lines of what elise was just saying, look at the polls, people say they don't like it. if trump didn't tweet, if there

is going to do that twitter needs twitter needs trump and trump needs twitter but problem for jack dorsey for going out there and putting out you know a line in the sand and say we've got to stop this is especially as we get heightened into closer to the elections don't forget what else has gone on 100000 americans are now dead of coke just like reagan was a master of seizing the agenda of that every day media diet through visuals trump is doing that through twitter and it's just repeating itself you say are literacy needs to be improved so does anyone really care about this executive order do they care that the president signed it today. some people will it is a chilling effect remember it's got to go through the courts and it well it's not practical they're not going to come and shut down twitter and shut down the internet that's not going to happen we have a 1st amendment of course in this country and on every floor here at the walter cronkite school we have the 1st amendment prominently by the elevator so i think on a personal note for me as a journalist as a journalism educator yes i

twitter has for the 1st time flagged a tweet from u.s. president donald trump with a fact check warning the social media site recently introduced a warning system that lets users know when a tweet contains misleading or false information and trump had dogs that label until now and what i mean is it has been following the story for us so i mean what trump tweet has caused twitter to take this action trump had been angry with california heavily democratic state that is pushing for mail in ballots for the upcoming election and he tweeted that he believes that it is no way that mail in ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent you can see in the bottom left corner of that tweet there is exclamation mark with a warning says and it's a link that says it's going to give you the facts about mail in ballots and that's because there's no evidence behind this claim that mail in ballots actually lead to fraudulent elections and then takes you to this page on twitter's website that gives you some facts behind the story and then it gi

the choices that twitter makes one chooses to suppress blacklists shadow. or editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter seems to be a neutral public platform and they become and they're there with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about others also this week twitter put fact check labels on 2 of the president's tweets that had unsubstantiated claims about voting by mail in the u.s. twitter said it decided to do so because the content broke its rules on the key issue of voting trompette back and accuse twitter of trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and stuff for free speach. the business and technology sector is the order could could freedom of speech across the internet while legal experts are warning that it conflicts with the existing law which owing the congress not the president can change it really is a complete misreading of section $230.00 it takes. a law that has been interpreted time and time again very very broadly by multiple federal circuit courts and just says i'm replacing all

twitter has flagged 2 tweets by u.s. president all trump about fraudulent mail in ballots as misleading the social media platform has marked the tweet with a link to another page where fact checkers have debunked the claim by kind of has more from washington d.c. now twitter has put up a label on these tweets basically checking it referring viewers or readers to news reports concerning these claims which twitter says here are completely fraudulent so this is the 1st time there has been some kind of response to twitter for what many critics have continually labeled as stream of false swords being done by the president on this particular forum hong kong is bracing for more protests this time over a controversial bill that would make it a criminal offense to insult china's national anthem right police are in place around the legislative council building where the bill will be debated in the next few hours 4 police officers in the u.s. city of minneapolis have been sacked after the death of an unarmed black man a video poste

twitter is a private company. they can be as dumb as they want to be, and they've proved it to everyone how dumb they can be. this was so incredibly stupid of twitter to do this, whether it was president trump's tweet or anybody else's tweet. you just played a clip where jack dorsey, the president of twitter, says he wants to "connect the dots." good luck, jack. everything out there is a dot. everything is somebody's opinion about something. are you now going to regulate all that? are you going to try and be the arbiter of that? this is the most foolish thing twitter could possibly do. i'm not a fan of government interference in this, because i believe in the private sector having the right to be stupid, but boy did jack dorsey step in it. >> harris: so, how did he step in it, exactly? why was it stupid for them to do? and it sounds like you think there is some sort of retribution coming. >> he has the right to do whatever he wants. my tweets, trumps tweets, or anybody's tweet. they are a private company, they can

president donald trump has more than 8 million followers on twitter. in fact, after the company decided to label his tweets as potentially misleading, he went on to twitter to say that it was stifling his free speech. so the company on the one hand really wants to hold onto him as a user and it has said in the past president trump and other world leaders who have made misleading or even aggressive comments in the past, that they can make those comments even though they violate twitter‘s policies, because they're politicians and world leaders and it's valuable for people to see what they're saying and for free speech to go on that way. it's got to find a way to balance some of the things he's making, some of the claims that are potentially false or harmful, while making sure he stays online because they want to keep him and his followers on their platform. so, zoe, is there a reasonable expectation that twitter will be dealing more aggressively with posts that are way over the line with an election coming up, of course, in the states? yes, of course w

president donald trump the twitterer in chief is taking aim at twitter with an executive order. what they choose to fact check and what they choose to encourage promote is nothing more than a political activism group or political activism and it's inappropriate. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with china's heavy handed hong kong and washington shaking its fist at beijing for months much of the world has yearned for a return to normality as in the way things were before the corona virus infected any people now we humans we tend to sugarcoat our memories of the past how quickly we seem to have forgotten that ticking geopolitical time bomb that was and is hong kong with the events of the past 24 hours have returned to where we were prepared to make and it is not a pleasant reality check late on wednesday u.s. secretary of state might pump told u.s. lawmakers that quote no reasonable person can assert today that hong kong maintains a high degree of autonomy from china given the facts on the ground. reacting to a new sec

from liberals on twitter and in our elected area once twitter to get the president off twitter, twitter is not going to do that. they know the president has been a faithful customer and so they are caving a little bit but what they are really doing is lowering the opinion conservatives have this site, a site they have thought has been beneficial since we are able to get around the mainstream media which typically isn't favorable to conservatives. jillian: that headline, i am from montgomery county pennsylvania. to see that in one county, that is a large number of ballots to be sent incorrectly. let's look at twitter's statement, quote, these tweets contain potentially misleading information about voting processes and have been labeled to provide additional context around mail in ballots in line with the approach we shared earlier this month. final word before we go on that response. >> i disagree with that. they are being biased in this approach and this is why you saw marco rubio coming out saying we need to treat twitter not as an open forum but as a publisher. this will lead to congr

>> the first amendment text twitter from the president, not the president from twitter. twitter owns that platform. nancy pelosi makes a good point. they want to be left alone from the government and they don't want to be taxed and may be something we should be looking to. i don't disagree with a lot of what they said. when they are starting to fact-check, they've got to be very careful to fact-check everybody. but this is not a violation of the presidents free-speech. the president still left those up there. the american people are quite annoyed and the president of the united states is picking a fight with twitter, the very platform that made him president. i don't understand how he gets away with it. i don't understand how people still support him in the face of that. >> dana: i just want to put up one thing. ben shapiro had a tweet this morning that i thought was interesting. the people are saying the deep state is targeting a trump, and the same people are saying let's give more power to the deep state to control social media. is there a little bit of a pandora's bo

whilst he was in that row on twitter, president trump acknowledged on twitter the death of 100,000 americans for the first time. he called it a very sad milestone and extended his "heartfelt sympathy and love for all those affected." per capita deaths in some european countries are even higher. researchers are now studying might impact of the coronavirus has been so much worse in america and europe compared to other areas of the world. here to discuss it is dr. craig spencer, director of emergency medicine at columbia university medical center. let's look at the american number, 100,000. given that this virus has had such a catastrophic effect in europe, was it inevitablthat we were going to get to 100,000 deaths in the united states, do you think? dr. spencer: absolutely not. none of this was inevitable. a lot of this could've been prevented. we know that from modeling that has been done. had we gone the social distancing necessary and put the right public of interventions in time, which before we did in the u.s., particularly in the places most hard-hit, we could have avoided a lot of thes

all twitter did, let's not overstate and turn twitter into a good guy. all that guy did was stick a little note about two lies on mail-no voting. >> yeah, it's tiny. i would argue it's insufficient, but again my point is from twitter's standpoint, boy, this is a really big deal. i agree with you, it really isn't, and hopefully it's the start of something but look at how it enrages the president. the president's goal here is talk about something other than this 100,000 k death count, sadly. also, he's going to run his campaign on this platform. he runs everything on this platform so to him even that tiny thing that twitter did is a giant deal. >> jim, you are spot on with that. he's going to run his entire campaign on twitter. oh, what a thought. thank you for spending some time with us. great to see you, my friend. brian, what a thought that is for us. you and i are going to -- listen, i have had this 24-hour fantasy that maybe trump will shut down twitter. he'll show them. i mean, that would really cement his legacy as doing something good for the world

appeal today the twitter's ceo. the president continues to tweet about it this morning. let's bring in tony romm. good to have you with us. as we just noted there, this is the first time twitter has taken this action against the president, but it is not the first time he has tweeted something false. in fact, as we noted, even this morning, he tweeted out more that needs to be fact-checked, including that president obama spied on the trump campaign. i guess the question is, why now and what's the threshold from twitter about what gets fact-checked and what doesn't? >> right, i think you get right at the heart of the tension here which is enforcement. let's remember, for a long time now, twitter has had various policies prohibiting a wide array of what it considers to be abuse of content, that the number of the president's critics would like to have twitter take action against. but twitter has often said deserves a greater right to speak, there's a public interest in leaving some of those even controversial tweets up.

president has used twitter to spread dubious rumors so why is twitter you know acting now i mean they've been sleeping at the wheel it seems like well twitter's getting ready for the 2020 presidential elections just around the corner and they have updated their terms of service and specifically they now have said that users cannot mislead others about participation in elections so they're actually applying their own new rules here but you know they're not actually clamping down on all of the president's problematic tweets right now they are refusing to take down a separate tweet in which he has indirectly accused a liberal news host of being involved in a murder so you could say they're actually being quite light on the president all have done is stuck one little link. one of his tweets yeah that's a very good point that you bring up there trump he likes to make threats we know that and he likes to threaten that he's going to shut things down but can he really shut down social media well it's ironic isn't it that he is accused twitter of basically stifling free speech and then he has gon

moments before coming on air, the president tweeting at twitter and raising concerns about how twitter has not been able to police itself regarding information, with china for example. the president yesterday with the executive orders raising concerns about big tech companies, instagram, twitter and the like. the president once again calling on section 230 with regards to the fair decency act, and raising that issue. nightomes as twitter last labeling one of the president's tweets with regard to the protests in minneapolis as "glorifying violence." that is from twitter, a label that they did on that specific tweet. he said once the shooting starts -- once the looting starts, the shooting starts. the president's words. so a very volatile, quickly moving situation involving race and nows in the u.s., this issue of tech companies very much wrapped into that story in minneapolis. isn't this exactly what the president wanted, to shift the conversation away from how the u.s. would respond to china, to the pandemic, to some of the redmeat issues for his supporters such as race relations, such

that's on twitter. and the amazing thing is he's wrong. no matter who it is, they will admit that he's wrong because there's tremendous controversy on mail-in voting. i can say this, the republican party cannot let it happen. go ahead. >> you know gavin newsom, governor newsom has not sent out ballots to everybody in california. they are only going to registered voters. >> how many are there? >> what your tweet said was not wrong -- it was not correct. it was wrong. >> oh, really? when he sends out 28 million ballots and they are in all the mailboxes and kids go and raid the mailboxes and they hand them to people that are signing the ballots down at the end of the street, which is happening, they grab the ballots, you don't think that happens. there's ballot harvesting -- we had seven elections for congress. they came and dropped a whole pile of ballots on the table. you don't think they rip them out of the mailboxes? all the time. you can read about it. take a look. in some cases, they won't -- [inaudible] -- to a republican community, a

the choices that twitter makes to suppress and ban, editorial decisions. editorial decisions and in those moments twitter creases to be a public platform and editor with a view point and i think we can say that about others whether you look at google or facebook and perhaps others. one egregious example is when they try to sealens views by selectively applying a fact check. fact check. what they choose to fact check and what they choose to ignore or promote is nothing more than a political activism group or political activism and it's inappropriate. you look at what has happened and where they are going and coming from. this this is a threat to freedom itself. imagine if your phone company is silenced and social media have more power and more reach than any company in the united states, more than your newspapers, by far, more reach than a lot of your traditional forms of communication. i'm signing executive order to protect and uphold the free speech rights of the american people. currently social media giants like twitter have a liability they are d on th

the twitter ceo in lead-up to all of this jack dorsey said following on twitter, in part, quote, this does not make us an arbiter of truth. our intention to connect dots of conflicting statements to show truth where people can judge themselves. more transparency from us is critical so folks can clearly see the why behind our actions n a interview with fox's dana perino, mark zuckerberg says the companies should the be the arbiter of truth on the issue but he took issue with the executive brand trying to intervene. >> he is thinking about regulations or perhaps shutting down social media sites. what is your reaction to that? >> well, i mean, look, i would have to understand what actually would intend to do but, in general i think a government choosing to censor a platform because they're worried about censorship doesn't exactly strike me as the right reflex there. reporter: so that's the broad outline there. we'll get the finer details on this shortly, and what the attorney general could potentially do with all of this. then of course there is that second headline from the, a different

having said that, what twitter was doing was clarifying. now, you can check the sources and the fact-checkers because they should be scrutinized but the question, don't pull your tweets down, that is another matter. now the president was called on some outrageous comments he made about msnbc general scarborough who had a young woman die in his congressional florida office 20 years ago. never mind general scarborough was not there at the time 800 or 900 miles away, the president was strongly implying come outright accusing maybe something was fishy that was up and maybe this was a case of murder. that was something also will so that it had to be fact-checked. it wasn't just right/left here. that was incumbent upon anyone to check comments that were outrageous. now, part of this investigation and the crackdown on social media companies that claim legal liability or protection of that is that if people say outrageous things on a site, you know, viewer/reader beware. when it was done to him. so that is really the genesis of all of this. but he

twitter responded by labeling trump's tweet with the warning -- "this tweet violated the twitter rules about glorifying violence. however, twitter has determined that it may be in the public's interest for the tweet to remain accessible." on thursday, president trump signed an executive order that could be used to punish social media companies, including twitter, for how they monitor content. thisis comes after twitttter tok the unprecedented step o of addg a fact check label to two tweets in which trump erroneously attacked mail-in voting. mark zuckerberg defended his companies -- company's refusal to regulate misinformation, including false and deceptive political advertisements. zuckerberg spoke with cnbc. >> i don't think facebook or internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth. i think that it's kind of a dangerous line to get down to in terms of d deciding what is true and what isn't. amy: later in the broadcast, more of president trump'p's attacks on social m media with ucla profefessor ramamesh srinin . the u.s. labor d dartment repoported another 2.1 million wowor

on twitter and social media? and can you give us an update on his plan for china and hong kong or comment on that as well? kayleigh: first i would note with regard to timing of the e.o., that should be later this afternoon. is what we're hoping for. hopefully before 5:00 p.m. but again, could change. it's still in the works. but we are getting closer. with regard to hong kong, i would just say, reiterate what i said last -- two days ago, i would also say that china's decision to impose a new national security law on hong kong lies in direct conflict with its international obligations under the principles of the legally binding u.n. sino-british declaration and secretary pompeo that hong kong does not warrant different treatment because hong kong no nger remape -- remains autonomous from the p.r.c. reporter: somewhat related, the impact object the minority group in china, the uighurs, i think i said that correctly. does the president plan to sign that? if the white house is going to treat bills -- or does the whit

to the idea that conservative work voices are not prevalent on twitter or are being put down on twitter just isn't borne out by the reality. the question twitter faces as a private companies whether they are going to hold the president of the united states to the same rules that all of us have to use on their platform. whether they are going to enforce their rules for everyone. we couldn't do things the president is on twitter. or whether he is a different case. we've never seen a private company confronted with quite this kind of really challenging problem before. >> harris: you know, it's interesting, because what you are alluding to judge and correct me if i'm wrong, marie -- you think twitter is going to try and do that monstrous effort of fact-checking everybody. is that what you think is really going to happen? >> marie: i'm really not sure, harris. i don't think twitter is sure, because as a huge undertaking to fact-check everyone. there are people who should be fact-checked more than just ran a bath we aren't even sure i really will. these are questions twitter doesn't know how

they can sue twitter. the president can sue twitter and say that this is libel. what they are doing. and then he'd lose because it's factually correct. you win when it's factually correct. so a lot of things are conflating here in order to make it simplistic, including not understanding what the first amendment says. and the president promised to preser preserve, protect and defend the constitution. he should read it. congress shall make laws. from what i understand from lots of legal, very smart legal people is that you can't do it this way. of course, congress could do this. they could look at section 230. they can do a lot of things but that's the process of this. and that's the difference here is that you can't just say, i don't like it. i'm going to do an executive order. and it's not going to work here. there's so much case law. there's so much -- there's so much that needs to go through it before 230 is challenged. so we'll see what happens. but this is just a game. this is just a ridiculous game. i

how worried should twitter be well trump of course uses twitter all the time it's his biggest channel it's unlikely that he's going to want to shut down his biggest voice to his own base we should also note that calls to regulate social media have also come from the other side from the democrats from one of their candidates elizabeth warren so whoever wins the next election perhaps these platforms could be facing some kind of regulation if they don't regulate themselves all right now reporter joel silver thank you so much. now the carmakers rayno nissan and its a b she have unveiled a new cost cutting strategy strategy that's meant to jumpstart business and deepen their 21 year old alliance of 3 auto companies are ruling out any merger but they say they will work more closely together and that could cut development costs for new cars by as much as 40 percent some of the factories might close as a result of that synergy. let's get some perspective on the story we have our financial correspondent julie barr standing by for us in frankfurt hi only so we hear the 3 big car makers here wor

and why is the president threatening to go after twitter. so let's begin though with the question that many americans continue to ask themselves why does this keep happening why do we continually have to report on and students that seem to depict law enforcement officers in america treating african-american suspects suspects differently than they would treat other suspects and where in cases like this one this one in minneapolis that i just showed you that treatment often results in the suspect death. we have an explanation coming up here of what police may have done wrong maybe what they should have done right but we want to start now with the facts of the story 1st and here to bring you that is our to correspondent michelle greenstock. hundreds of people packing the streets of minneapolis holding signs that say black lives matter police responding with tear gas. the spark to these protests was the death of a man named george floyd which occurred as a police officer handcuffed floyd pinned him to the ground and kept his knee on it for at le

twitter is closer to a new -- people go to twitter for information. they don't go there as much to trade the tidbits with their friends. there are a lot of people on facebook who probably don't care what the president is saying about, you know, or something like that. they're on there because it's their primary media outlet for interacting with friends they both have a different reaction because the different platforms serve as a different approach >> tim, you've got a question? >> yeah. jim, ultimately the issue of facebook in the past and the irony is they were under the magnifying glass of the administration off the last election and there are many that argue that they truly helped elevate this administration in the last election, but facebook trades at a discount for a reason and i know you're not a financial analyst per se and you've been watching this company and do you think it can come out of this election cycle and mark zuckerberg to me sounds like someone who is trying to tactfully kind of play a middle ground here and could we be removing -

>> 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

twitter. has hidden a controversial tweet by president donald trump about the unrest in minneapolis trump tweeted that when the looting starts the shooting starts the company decided that promoted violence trump believes twitter is biased against him and other conservative commentators so he signed an executive order i mean to check social media's power to censor communications. he calls it protecting free speech for social media companies say it's a politicized approach to law donald trump's latest executive order is designed to strip social media companies of their existing immunity when it comes to content published on their platform. the choices that twitter makes when it chooses to suppress blacklists share of. our editorial decisions pure and simple on their own authorial decisions in those moments twitter seems to be a neutral public platform and they become there with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about others also this week twitter put fact check labels on 2 of the president
