dorsey and start with facebook. i'm curious as to whether or not you think it's likely that that there is systemic bias in your organization content moderation policies given that your employee base is so unrepresentative of america in general? >> senator, i think it's a good question and certainly i think it means that we have to be more intentional about what we do and thoughtful. our principle and goal is to give everyone a voice and to be a platform for all ideas. as you mention, i do think it's undisputed that our employee base, at least the full time folks politically would be somewhat or maybe more than just a little somewhat to the left of where our overall community is where the community spends almost a wide variety of people across society. so i do think that that means that we need to be careful and intentional that bias doesn't deep into decisions that we make. although i point out a couple of things. one is that you know, people have a lot of different views outside of new york. we expect and i think g

what is this relationship between facebook and the white house, between facebook and free speech? i'm going to throw you a big question to launch you off track you first, thank you for doing this. it is good to connect with you again to some virtual see. like a lot of things you can't just keys out in the one problem of facebook from its dna and its origins. in the case of trump, obviously he wasn't a factor in the early days. it wasn't something they talked about in the dorm room when they started it up by the time trump campaign got rolling in 2015, this became an issue for facebook. it was lathered on top of sort of the messy way they dealt with controversial content. it first came up in 2015 when he posted, trump posted stuff that was anti-muslim. it did violate a lot of people inside facebook five the companies community standards. what facebook decided not to mess with that, to leave it up even though it might violate he violated the standard even the zuckerberg himself thought it did. because it was newsworthy and they were not going to tamper with that, and that's when zuc

closing facebook is not suppressing the right facebook is a business operation. facebook is going to do to your question, the other, whatever it can do in order. and we've seen this in the new york times story, in order to further its business opportunities. what it would temper government to do is there's going to be some control over what the media is saying. that's unfortunate. and it's up to people and ordered to educate themselves, which was the initial intent to have this democratization through social media. but it is been corrupted by the super rich. and that's why we see whether or not it's mainstream news looking like they're a propaganda for the, for, for the state run media, just like we would see in china or other places, we have to be half martyr than that. and fight together as a people just not be divided and that's what social media is trying to do to us. ok, we can actually just get the final thoughts of that race on julio. finally, if i can put you within the rap bob has social media research. secondly, turned into and media outlet itself with

this: we talked about how is a huge test for facebook. facebook shares up more than 8%. why is that? >> they have gotten through the election with no black ice, and you cannot say that about twitter -- emily: but have they? >> i think there's still thusers to be written, but investors are pleased, not just with advertisers staying with the platform, but no silver bullets that were viewed as some of the negatives that were feared going into the election cycle. they still need to over the next weeks and months, but compare .hat with twitter that was coming off a soft quarter as well, so for facebook, they may also get caught up in the large-cap tech rally. today, techt we saw can rally another 10%, 15% through year end, and facebook is at the center of that. emily: it does not matter who is in the white house, you think that will happen either way? >> i think from a street perspective, no blue wave was viewed as bullish, in a number of ways. for applething where and other big names, what is the implication of a big tax? that is why you saw the reaction investors,for tech w

policies that he should be banned from facebook. my question to you, how many times is steve bannon allowed to call for the murder of government officials before facebook suspends his account? >> senator, as you say, t content in question did violatet our policies ande we took not automatically mean your content -- your account gets taken down and the number of an strikes varies depending on the amount -- the type of offense. so, people are posting terrorist content or child exploitation content, then the first time they do it, then we will take down their account. for other things, it's multiple. i'd be happy to follow up ltiple afterwards. we try not to disclose these --e >> you took down his account? >> i'm sorry, i didn't hear that.>> >> will you commit to taking cm down that account, steve that bannon's?bannon' >> senator, no. that's not what our policies would suggest we should do. in this case.record >> according to the internal records that are on record now,f leaked by nbc news, facebook hat removed fact checks and forgiven

need to regulate facebook specifically. really there's a set of practices behind facebook, behind google, behind amazon it describe something that's happening in all of the consumer internet industries that's focused on collecting data on an uninhibited basis using that data to develop profiles on an unhibited basis, using our profes to curate our social content, our social feed and target ads at us in a prophet maximizing way and really, it's become the fact that cpanies like facebook are just-- you could see it as one big machine, servers on top of-- with algorithms sitting on top and data collection poweringhe whole system and when you have this set of circumstances where these companies are able to do that without any restriction, without any conderation for democratic interest, that's when we start to that's when least understand over time that it's harming our election, it's harming consumers, this is harming disadvantaged populations in the needo do something about it. we need to restrict the possibity of collecting

we put the new facebook algorithm up for debate. i don't believe it is the place of the big tech company to govern what is and is not considered to be 100 percent true when you're having algorithm that is created by human beings to determine what's true, what has the raspy and what doesn't. unfortunately, it does not always get it right. and then you how it's almost created went a bit too. are it's silencing things that you know we, we may not like and that's not the basis of what we should be silencing people. why? there's many instances in which they go ahead and take factual stories down. what was the deal with the new york post story about the hunter by the laptop? i mean, if you tweeted about that your tweet would be taken down. if you posted on facebook, you were posting with some sort of a disclaimer, but this is something that, you know, the vine campaign had never denied you know, these 4 are these conspiracies and this white supremacy, garbage and all this other stuff has nothing to do with the conservative side of, the ai

so yeah, i'm ban on facebook and also ban on instagram because it's owned by facebook. so my life no longer has well curated pictures of other kind of toast and 1st try my happier without using facebook. not really and here's why. it's really hard to stay in touch with people without using the 2 main systems that everybody else uses. facebook didn't just sort of deactivate my account and sort of a normal way. i got like completely or a stuff of facebook like i don't exist anymore. and my photos, you know, my memories, my friend groups all went away. and when you look at other examples in history of where the sort of collective memory of a person is a race to die in. for example, the soviet union, where if you spoke out against the regime, you would be disappeared, not just physically, but like literally your photos would go away, mentions of you would go away and it felt really weird to look at, you know, 10 years of my life disappearing, they didn't just ban me, they deleted me, and it felt really weird to be deleted. i am more broadly happier, i feel lighter. it has a

the audit relsed by facebook in july has proven invaluable to key areas in which facebook does need to improve. will you follow through on your commission of thi independent audiof twitter? >> so, we work with civil rights groups all over the country and around the world. to get feedback and constant conversation with the. and we do believe being more transparent and making our transparency record a lot more robust which today we still have some gaps is important for any entity to auditndependently of us. we believe that's important because an audit like that could take away from the work we'd like to do. we'd rather provide the information so people can do that work. >> if i heard you right, you aren't going to pursue a civil rights audit but you are going to continue to release data and consult with civil rights groups. i'd welcome aore thorough answer, as to in whi way ving an outside audit would actually harm your transparency efforts? >> i don't mean it wuld harm it. i mean that we want to provide enough informatio so that people can do this work. and on their own te lines, thas w

you can tune into that on facebook live on mark's facebook page. you helped launch of the coronavirus information center on facebook. i wonder as we see cases a spike, are you concerned about misinformation about covid spiking and what is facebook planning to do about that? naomi: the most important thing we can do is connect people to authoritative information from these health experts, like dr. fauci. that is why we built the covid information center. it is the one place you can go to get reliable and up-to-date information about the pandemic. we've actually directed to billion people to the covid information center. the other thing we need to do to stop the spread of misinformation, we are removing any misinformation that has the potential to cause harm. we are working with health experts to identify those claims that need to be removed. emily: now, aside from covid, facebook just finished what may be its biggest test yet, and that is getting through a very contentious presidential election. fighting misinformation, inauthentic behavior, meddlin

do consequences 'd the facebook free basics model which is basically about expanding for facebook the demain of data extraction across the world at a time when demand for facebook is beginning to fall amongst younger people in particular in the so-called west. is very interesting just as in historic colonialism the apparent weakness of the colonized populations that lack of weapons their lack of certain results is the lack of an economic structure suggested to the colonizers that they need to be colonized they need to have whatever the colonial system would offer them to bind them in. free basics is just one of facebook's many initiatives across africa. facebook's latest push here in kenya is called express why fight companies teamed up with local snack service providers to install why 5 hotspots like here in the mass my town of eagle on the outskirts of nairobi. jerry in basia is a hairdresser who signed up as of into facebook's express why. he gets a commission on every dot a bundle he sells his customers say they look like they do his 1st book because even myself i use it i'm a fri

was working hard to on board facebook basics where a lot of people have conflated facebook and the internet because it offered a free service and in these countries they can't keep in touch with their family. it has gotten so enshrined with communication in general and the problems and there are many, another reason is we needed that scrutiny a while back and we need to go back to see the not so clearly stated benefits, communicate at the time. >> there is a great connection, and in the software, the moment is very brief in the mid-90s, social media like facebook and so forth, and characteristically different than the facebook's meaning, was a site that was heavily attracted to african-americans, games the following and commercial appeal, they were going to get what they wanted to a filter, had a thriving immunity but like a community newspaper, here is where i can connect. get the news that i want, the ecosystems that would help you, a hyperlink basically help you travel, if you want this, that and the other, all things that are of interest, overwhelmingly shows to you what it thinks you s

free basics is just one of facebook's many initiatives across africa. facebook's latest push here in kenya is called express why 5 companies teamed up with local internet service providers to install y. 5 hotspots like here in the mass my town of eagle on the outskirts of nairobi. jerry in basia is a hairdresser who signed up as of into facebook's express why. he gets a commission on every dot a bundle he sells his customers say they love it they do his 1st book because even myself i use it i'm a friend of the band of keep it your book. compared to other networks you get a 501100 in business for free yeah. you run. yes they do they find it cheaper to fund it when the book and then the doctors don't express why fi has been an undeniable success here it is made web access cheap enough of people living in underserved locations then there are so many people living i don't want a corner to be. however for those studying the activities of facebook and other big tech companies in kenya it's impossible to ignore the huge potential for data mining last year face

facebook's own internal research found 64% of all extremists groups join due to facebook's recommendations tools, mr. zuckerberg we commit to stopping all recommendations on their platform and tell u.s. election results are certified, yes or no? >> senator we have taken the step of stopping recommendations and groups for all political content or social groups as a precaution for this. and just to clarify the vast majority of committees that people are part of our not extremist organizations or even political. they are interfaith communities and are quite helpful and healthy for people to be a part of it i do think we need to make sure that our recommendation and algorithm doesn't encourage people to join extremist groups. we have taken a number of steps and i agree with you it's very important that we continue to make her address on it. >> your algorithms are promoting on line spaces for political violence in the very least you should stable those algorithms. thank you mr. chairman. >> thank you senator markey. mr. zuckerberg let me ask you this in the scenarios that senator markey was pos

facebook says the following. in line with the exceptional measures that we're taking during this period of heightened tension we have removed the group stop the steal creating real world events. the group was organized around the delegitimization of the election process and we saw worrying calls for violence from some members of the group. what do you say to that comment, sir? >> what i say to that you don't see the same type of action occurring on the left. jack dorsey and mark zuckerberg are found of saying and i'm sure we'll hear today that we've got people on both sides of the spectrum who are upset with us. the difference here, trace, you do have some people upset on the left, yes, but they're upset mostly because they want facebook and twitter to be doing more of their stuff, not less. people who are actually getting censored with some rare and less visible exceptions are overwhelmingly rerepublican, conservative pro-life individuals and organizations. you don't see that happening on the left. >> trace: as

getting facebook on the record isn't easy. the company is battling a lot of justifiably bad press around the world, but listeria, the strategic manager for news at facebook. mexico did agree to meet without pay and most of us here limbo, see less important than the spectacle and then they move on to toast. be on your side. no, they are other think that it's the people there. the former focus will focus on other sources than the formica. look at him. is that, i mean, he's the most of them we have under the secrecy. a name of the of this story source is who sets it up. that is, it went that's francis. the most the most and forgot the chalk and they're calm, but they're important. they last quintets files as a facebook closest to my looks like thought it was that was kind of him putting a get in systemic response of you. that is what only a dad is, a continual bit of what a lot of us aside here, and i most trust him because some of those normal school money that yes, most of the law here yet procure a little bit more. but at the

those willing to pay for a facebook does pose a global threat. a walk we have been seeing in the west, particularly in the united states, is a people getting organized, trying to take massive action, try to take a legal action against facebook, which inevitably is extremely expensive. so what we're seeing now in asia is states taking their own initiative by using the power of the data protection regulators to hold facebook to account. he finds it occurring in photos that are not high enough. so there is only one way for facebook to go, which is to become more invasive, more intrusive, more dishonest, of people, of the date of the personnel information. until such time, where governments decide to take serious action against against phrase group to try and completely to behave the south korean fine is small fry though, compared with what facebook said to cough up, back at home. or the networks been charged with breaking privacy laws and harvesting data, the case between facebook and uses in the state of illinois, the biggest consumer privacy settl

facebook says avoiding misuse of its services is a big priority i contacted twitter in mexico as well and they said the same thing but for someone who is not just seen the misinformation was online but actually food in them these if it's by the social media platforms a little more than window dressing the former assistant assumed the order less than this but we girls if they look too and look what distant in them which up but assume that let's assume that it's made us you're going to assume this is just a little because she put out this in this at the when the rodeo. normally did in. the leprosy on the left and there's an ice cream or your it's just to go that is some of. it's a part of the cup it's your number but it's a look and make us will name up with them which obviously you're going to get are several mature particularly if you know livers portfolio. with billions of pieces of content being uploaded to the internet every single day it's no surprise that tackling online manipulation is such a challenge digital deception is now a global game so no matter how many searches of blog

now on facebook, i wrote in a post and i am quoting. the trump accountability project is the epitome of the cancel culture. our nation as benefitted from robust political debate. this effort to silence those who support our president is vile. as you can tell from this statement, nothing was said about the election or the results directly or indirectly. but somehow i got slapped with your elections flag sticker. what each of you need to realize and you have heard it time and again today. you say are don't keep lists. obviously you have lists. because there are some of us who are regularly censored and called down by your content moderators. do we want to see these lists? yes! how have you built these lists? we want to know. i would remind each of you, you are a title-1 service. you are an information service. you are to be the new public square. but what you are doing with your power that you have derived, because federal law gave you the ability to stand up and grow without being hit by lawsuits, you have used this power to run amuck. y

shuts down facebook, no more facebook. what happens? is the world better or worse off? safiya: i think it would be perfectly fine for facebook to shut down. i am on the real facebook oversight board. you know, i think we are really interested in seeing some important interventions happen quickly before democracy continues to collapse as we pummel towards the next presidential election in the united states. but you know, i think it is more complex than just saying facebook should shut down, although there are many people that agree it probably should. if we stay on the current path where there is no oversight, no regulation, no laws, no responsibility, we can be guaranteed that this is just the tip of the iceberg. emily: what should the laws be? what should the government do? if these companies are not going to change on their own, then should they be broken up, should there be new laws? tristan: i look at the amount of regulatory reform that we need here as being on parallel with the financial crisis, in the sense that in the financial crisis, you had thinner and thinne

getting facebook on the record isn't easy. the company is battling a lot of justifiably bad press around the world. but lewis theriot, the strategic manager for news at facebook, mexico did agree to meet without pay. and most of us here limits the us important. they respect the government, they want the post be on your side. no, they are other that that is the people they have also set up, but the form of focus will focus on other sources going to the platform. i can look at him because then i use them to provide them with under the secrecy, a name of the moochers. this source is who sets it up that i was acquaint the funds was the most able to fork out a watch over their com, but they important they last quintets files as a facebook closest to my looks like thought it was that was kind of him. but he is getting in systemic responsibly. that is what only a kid that is a continual bit of water logged off by society us here. most of us include some of those, not a must when you die, yes. most of the law here, yet procure a littl

then facebook. well, if you'd like to delve a little deeper into any of those stories this hour, a good place to start is r t dot com, fresh content always being out there as well. i'm back in just over 30. do hope to catch it. really. it's not good for your mental health. good for you. in fact, this issue with both if you're not saying it's you may be more to the few. so i certainly do not think people's health and even back when i was a dollar 100000 dollars 6 months ago, i said ok, it looks like it is going to challenge to raise our price target to $400000.00. but you're right, you have to also look at the price of gold here because the gold price, because people are throwing in the street like garbage like they were going on the ground is the u.k. arguably escalates the new so-called cold war with 16 off 1000000000 pounds plan to fund, among other things, a space come on in a country where one in 3 children live in poverty coming up in the show. what will the expansion into space mean for war an

facebook h its harvard dropouts it had its own à community. they did not have peoplin the room representative of various communities. they made decisions thatere very harmful to various communities. i think ultimately the conversation does have to come back to ownership. ideally in my mind it's decentralized that the community is itswn community that if you have a church oup or, you knowetter than anyone else how to moderate. and how to implement thatis a little bit confusg. do i think that some education ound privacy and more conversation abouthese issues will benefit these communities? keep workers, certainly. but i do think sotimes that conversation takes the place of the more structural change than what we have at the moment. >> is a really interesting question in relationship to the ai ethi conversation and the revelatory conversation. do wor a lot that when things are framed as, let's have a really long discussion, it's meant to delay ultimate reactions ani think back to the idea of ownership and intellectual property as well as get so i

i have never been a big fan of facebook as you probably know. i have never been a big zuckerberg fan, but the latest report suggests that this could all be smoke and mirrors, and that facebook is already buttering up the new white house landlord from promoting content which rubber stamps joe biden's talking points to secretly screwing tight the traffic for publications by non-mainstream and pro republican outlets, it resulted in a spike in visibility for big mainstream publishers like c.n.n. the new york times and national public radio, while posts from highly engaged hyper partisan pages such as breitbart and occupy democrats became less visible. facebook denies any bias explaining its strives to achieve balance to the best of its ability, but some actions speak louder, suggesting a mutual affection. the supposedly facebook loathing joe biden doesn't seem to have a problem hiring from the roster. ready ready 'd biden's deputy communications director also seems to have had a change of heart and deleted tweets, giving facebook a dressing down exe

of our institutions began on facebook. what the description of the philippines stanley karnow wrote in our image, and he described the philippines, us a country that spent 450 years in a convent and 50 years in hollywood. we were colonized by spain and then the united states. and i think it's ironic that the country that gave democracy is also the, the place where silicon valley then has given someone like to tear down a bull. so narrow these types of authoritarian leaders who work who are killing democracy, the power to do it, to manipulate people. but i think we all know that the, our countries in the global south bear the brunt of all the tech, this issue. and that have been made, right? i mean, how do we get power, how we've never really had a seat at the table in these things. and we've, they're the worst. do you think you should go as the other 3 people? sure of that is part. i mean, part of the reason i can speak about it is because i can articulate it in a way that the west can understand. you currently are, you kn
