emily: welcome to "bloomberg technology." i am emily chang in san francisco. coming up this hour, big tech is taking a stand. despite because of censorship and there stocks sliding, facebook, twitter and others holding firm in banning president trump from that platform. google, apple and amazon cutting off the conservative social network parler.

plus, fbi morning. bloomberg has confirmed an internal memo from the fbi inoculate americans for covid-19 has overwhelmed government websites pointing to more armed protests and left many in first-come first-served lines. nationwide in the days leading up to president-elect biden's inauguration. are we in imminent danger? could there be more bloodshed? are confronting a multistep sign-up process which critics have we will ask the anti-defamation called bewildering. league ceo jonathan greenblatt, who has been tracking threats utterly s get online. bitcoin falls the most since their shots. march as much as 26% at one theral places across point. manateelorida's advance over 900% the last two years has even bank of america saying, is this the mother of all bubbles? we will get to that in a moment. county which lies between st. petersburg and sarasota. first i want to get a round of on the big stories of the day. big tech under pressure. we saw shares of facebook, 's twitter and amazon sliding on discussion. joining me now manatee county , director of public safety, the back of the preventative jacob sauer. measures they have taken to silence and cut off president you have a herculean effort trump. underway. tell us the latest information of course twitter has banned , trump from the platform where your vaccination situation permanently. facebook has banned the

president indefinitely. stands and how quickly it is going. we will get a round up on jacob: thank you for having me markets for the day. on. where did we end up? we started this process almost two weeks ago. we had a little bumpy start at >> a major pullback led to the the beginning, but we are downside by those big tech stating to get a groove down. we are one of the first counties names. the s&p 500, the nasdaq, even in florida to stand up a drive-thru vaccination system the faang index showing where the pain is. here in the county. even tesla really, the media serving residents in the county and surrounding counties in florida. you hit the nail on the head. darling -- excuse me, the ev darling has really taken pullback as well. it has not been anything short shares down nearly 8% on the day. of a large undertaking to get underway. flip up the boards. you will see what i am talking eventbrite onr about with the pain of the new york faang index. the show. it is more known for invitations tohow is eventbrite helpingne? perspective, it begs the question those were the , companies leading the gains last year. how much can they gain this year in this political climate? it is an extremely important question to answer. jacob: when we first started this, we were seeing that we will only get post initial push of doses in the inauguration. see how those big tech companies perform. state of florida.

i do want to hit the we went to make sure we did not have those residents you have semi conductor index. we saw a lot of red on the screen. seen sometimes in other areas emptying out overnight in order to get a vaccine in first-come we saw nio partnering with first-served situation. nvidia. one of the things that came to removing restrictions with taiwan, and intel announcing it my mind was the scheduling or an appointment type system and event bright floated to the top for us to start using. will increase chip production and outsource that as well. we still use eventbrite today in a lot of drivers. emily: thank you so much for that update. i want to continue the a much different direction than we first started but eventbrite conversation about big tech has helped us out tremendously companies facebook, twitter and in scheduling vaccinations for amazon, taking an unprecedented the public. stand. released plansst something you think other states and counties should be using? is eventbrite possibly the for what it plans to do ahead of inauguration day including banning all content, even solution? jacob: it just depends on how mentioning the words stop the steal. they had banned the group stop each county and state wants to the steal previously. operate that type of system. any posts that mention those we initially had in eventbrite in the forward facing public beee words in a row will capacity. what we discovered quick was

banned as well. i want to bring in sarah frier, demand for scheduling and who has been covering the moves facebook and twitter have been appointments for the minimum making. what is the latest? of course, we are hearing a lot amount of doses we are getting was just too great for both of backlash today. there are folks very critical of eventbrite and our own county infrastructure. the decisions that twitter ceo -- sinceince parted jack dorsey and mark zuckerberg partnered with another agency at facebook have made. that theany indication seamlessdocs. ,we shifted those with high hits they took in the market demand to get an appointment for will change their position at a vaccine. he opened up a vaccine waiting all? pool. sarah: i don't think so. what the companies are doing is a vaccine waiting pool is established. they go on there. making decisions based on what as we get doses in from the their employees are asking for state every week, we pull the and critics are asking for same amount of numbers through a making a move based on what they , think the incoming administration is going to want randomized selection they put in and certainly a lot of theire. statements from democratic leaders have been that this is our operators then start making too little too late. phone calls back to those overall what we have seen is residents and persons who have signed up from the vaccine these tech companies not just waiting pool. they then schedule in eventbrite facebook and twitter but amazon, google, apple and the parler ban, the conservative social appointments by hour.

network, they are realizing the tech responsibility question cuts both ways. emily: what will be your biggest it is not just about what they have banned but what they challenges as you look ahead to the next week's and months, allowed to remain on their platform. potentially years of getting this vaccine rolled out? that latter question they are taking into account.not want tot jacob: our biggest challenges i still believe the base -- is the would be very bad for their stabilization of the vaccine. businesses if they were all both federally, getting down to the states and into the county attached to future violence, if they could have done something to prevent future violence. and the department of health's the companies are seeing traffic on their platform and realizing hands is our largest challenge. that is a real concern. our vaccination pool is over 70,000 residents and people in emily: we don't know exactly how the area wanting to get the decisions were made, but one vaccinated and getting 2000 of my sources is telling me it doses a week because there is not enough federally going down came down to mark zuckerberg to the state and to beat out to himself, that he was appalled by each county is going to remain the events last wednesday, our biggest challenge. our second challenge is wanted to do what facebook could maintaining that vaccine waiting to ensure a peaceful transition of power. pool and getting those people scheduled for those vaccinations. again, he said trump's account emily: jacob saur, appreciate would be suspended at least through inauguration day. efforts to get everyone in as you say, there is a question what happens beyond that. your county vaccinated. thank you so much, the public

what happens when he is not president trump and is just a safety director of manatee citizen trump? county. will he be banned from the intel's autonomous platform for good, just like he is with twitter? car unit will render will facebook feel the pressure to do that now that twitter has? competitor's hardware obsolete. sarah: sheryl sandberg at a we will give you the latest with reuters conference said they the ceo as the consumer have no plan to reinstate electronic show gets underway. this is bloomberg. ♪ trump's account. they may have the decision on this oversight board, board that is supposed to hear appeals from people when their accounts get banned. after january 20, trump becomes a regular user. he is subject to the same kinds of three strikes roles as other users. he could be suspended more easily. he does not get the kind of leeway that he gets as a public leader. the line twitter and facebook often use with the president is listening, he is a public official. the public has a right to know what he is saying.

that is transparency. they can disagree with it, they can be angry about it. but of course, this conversation changes when there are actual human lives at risk. emily: then there is what happened with parler, which might be more dramatic than putting off the president himself. you have amazon web services saying they will no longer service parler. they do not have a web hosting platform. the ceo says they are going to be off-line for at least a week. you wonder, we are so used to ht is on facebook, on twitter. it is difficult to say what is going on at the white house at this very moment although the president has alluded to starting his own social network. if president trump wanted to start his own social network, how would he do that and what would it look like? sarah: it would be building on

the building blocks of his entire campaign. the campaign has all of these contacts, email addresses, phone numbers they gathered in the course of trying to build momentum around president trump and do these rallies. we could see more trump rallies, we could see a social network feeding off of them. this is a guy who likes the limelight. if other people will not give him the limelight, i can see him working to make his own. emily: another year, another i think whether it is a media ces. while this year is virtual, the network, social network or some same topics are of four combination, some trump fan app discussion including the future of self driving cars. that ends up becoming a social mobileye, the autonomous car place, i could see that as a unit is introducing the next next step. generation paving the way for but you also have to consider -- , consumers to buy truly autonomous cars by 2025. emily: changing happening by the minute. discussed with my thanks so much. i know you are doing a lot of colleague. reporting on what is happening >> we are thinking about robotaxis. behind the scenes at these companies so we will keep we are thinking about rubber watching your updates. coming up, is big tech's

taxi in which we want to be able decision to ban parler and turning from 2025 to enable president trump's accounts consumers to purchase vehicles which are economy enabled. enough? jonathan greenblatt is calling one needs to reach performance levels that are getting closer to level five, which is the ultimate autonomy level. to been president trump forever. that is next. this is why we need upgraded this is bloomberg. strength. ♪ so you're a small business, also reaching cost levels that are relevant for consumer vehicles. arevectors which contradicting each other. one is adding more performance. another is reducing cost. >> 2025 seems a long way away. or a big one. you were thriving, why get excited about this now? but then... oh. ah. why should i be interested five okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back? years before it makes it way -- you don't, you bounce forward, makes its way into the world? >> in our business we must think with serious and reliable internet. long term. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't. in terms of how we build and scale rubber taxis for 2020 -- so how do i do this? you don't do this.

we do this, together. robo taxis for 2022. bounce forward, with comcast business. the ultimate ali grail is that everyone can purchase a car and have that car be autonomy enabled. whenever you want to sit in the backseat and the car will take you where you want to go. that is a dream that can come true in 2025 timeframe. we are in serious discussions with several car manufacturers to start taking this kind of technology for the 2025 timeframe. i think it is exciting. it is the nature of the business that we need to thing long term. not only what is going to happen the next quarter or next year. >> which car manufacturers? >> we cannot yet reveal, but there is serious interest in 5 timeframe for consumer ev. i can mention the name of the carmaker. the first test of prototyping

social media platforms facing strong criticism. the bans underscoring the power september this year. companies hold over how information is disseminated and we will have more on ces the impact of the decisions of the people who lead these throughout the week. companies have. that does it for this edition of more is jonathan "bloomberg technology." i am emily chang in san francisco. bloomberg daybreak: asia coming up next. this is bloomberg. ♪ greenblatt, that of the anti-defamation league. half of americans cheering this have gone too far. you seem to think it is not quite enough what twitter and facebook have done. where are you on this? jonathan: thank you for having me. it is fair to say our country is polarized and divided. the election was a remarkable moment. we had more turnout than ever. it was fairly split down the middle, but let's be clear about what we are talking about. what we saw before and after the election was a rising level of violent rhetoric and incitement

on platforms like facebook and twitter. that is why the style paid for profit campaign, which successfully moved facebook to action this summer fighting hate on their platform called for donald trump to be banned permanently from facebook and twitter. facebook have now banned him indefinitely, as noted in the previous segment. twitter after our call banned him permanently as well. the reason we are asking for this and why it is so important, we literally saw the president, with his thumbs, encouraging violence as people were assaulting police officers on the steps of our capitol. ese were not protesters, these were militants. militants, not as part of a riot, it was a planned attack. it was arguably the darkest day of our democracy. e how did that terror

attack happen? it was planned. it was envisioned and encouraged on social media. it is safe to say they are in some ways accessories to this awful act. it is not an unreasonable expectation that this needs to change now. i would salute amazon for the step they did with parler. pushing parler off of their hosting services was a principal position. -- principal decision because they have to ask themselves, you have to look their employees, their board in the eye. jeff bezos has to say, do we want to be an accessory to an insurgency? what we are talking about is nothing less than a violent insurgency that threatens our democracy. emily: to be clear, these are private companies. they have the right to decide who they do business with. we do not believe there is a legal issue but there certainly is an issue about the principle of free speech and there are plenty of folks who disagree

with you including republican lawmakers. senator marsha blackburn tweeted to jack dorsey saying, why does the leader of iran to keep his twitter account and the president of the united states does not? ter is more like the chinese communist party and an american company. senator lindsey graham, i am more determined than ever to strip section 230 from big tech. your decision to permanently ban trump is a serious mistake. about the concern this could fire up the president space so much we could -- presidents space we could see more violence yousef: this is "bloomberg or a more extreme reaction daybreak: middle east." because of the disagreement? a second impeachment jonathan: look, i think the hearing on wednesday unless mike militants storming the capital did not represent the entire pence rooms him first. the vice president vows to stick republican party. these were terrorists pure and with his -- the fbi's warning of plans for simple. it's keep in mind incitement to armed protests in all 50 state violence is not protected capitals and washington, speech.

freedom of expression is not freedom to incite violence. that is not protected by the first amendment. senator graham and senator blackburn and others have reasonable concerns. we should ask ourselves, do we want to live in society where mark zuckerberg or jack dorsey decide what is in the public discourse or not? wet is a reasonable question need to have a debate about. what we are talking about here if you look at parler, as is if you look at parler, as, -- ler as look at par recently as yesterday there were calls for a violent insurgency in this country. we do not want to do business with others who would encourage and glorify the killing of five people. the violence and mayhem that ensued. i just do not think in any reasonable scenario one thing that is consistent with any democratic process. we have to look each other in

the eye and say to ourselves, how do i want to remember it in terms of history? do i want to be on the right side of history or not? parler, gab, all these sites that are part of this ecosystem of hate. this violence. juster it is -- it is not the platforms themselves. the hosting companies, the web security companies. the payment providers. they all need to say, do we want to do business with companies or agents of chaos? not just cutting off the president himself and a handful of other accounts. the followers of the president and some folks who have been spreading hate are continuing to do that on facebook and twitter. you have been tracking threats of violence and the fbi has confirmed they are preparing for potential armed riots in the state capitals of all 50 states as of january 16.

what exactly are you seeing in terms of these threats? jonathan: it is not an understatement to say this is terrifying. our center on extremists have been tracking these movements and individuals in the different groups. have seen a lot of chatter around january 17 where there is a boogaloo rally. the boogaloo movement wants to incite a violent civil war in the u.s. on january the 20th, people are saying we should take up arms. analysts are looking at several different threats were there seems to be a desire to move outside of d.c., which they know is going to be a hard target to softer targets in the states. this is real. this conversation about free speech is a nice luxury in constitutional law class but this is real life. the threat of violence is real. just keep in mind we saw this over the last six plus months.

we had the occupation of the state house in, michigan where armed militias invaded the building. we had a similar effort to do the same thing in the capital of idaho. we had a plot to kidnap and kill the governor of michigan. we had a plot to kidnap the governor of virginia. these groups are not republicans or democrats. they are terrorists. there armed cells. technology to the organize just like isis and the middle east and we need to recognize the threat it poses. our analysts are working with the fbi. we are tracking and sharing the intelligence. i am confident the authorities now take this seriously. we are going to need that because we have some dark days ahead. thinking we can just -- that this will work itself out as wrong. they keep it is a free-speech debate is wrong. this is a physical violent threat to our democracy and we have to treat it with the

attention and resources that demands. emily: one thing is for sure. weinty between now and inauguration day. who knows what the next few days will hold. jonathan greenblatt, ceo of the anti-defamation league, thank all right. coming up, bitcoin wipes out $185 billion in value just since friday. we will look at the coin's plunge and if this could be the end of the rally. that is next. this is bloomberg. ♪ are you frustrated with your weight and health? it's time for aerotrainer, a more effective total body fitness solution.

s&p. a look at the crypto space and why this is happening. spencer bogart, general partner at blockchain capital. good to have you back on the show. what is driving this today? pretty: we have seen a sharp move upwards. this is kind of par for the course. if we go back to previous cycles in 2017 alone, we saw four pole bags of 30% or more. if we add in 2016, which was the preamble to the 2017 cycle, we had six pullbacks of 30% or more. this is kind of par for the course. emily: you think it is just a minor correction? spencer: a pullback of 15, 20 5% is nothing minor, but we are talking about an asset that has appreciated significantly the past couple of years. when we see the emergence of a new asset like a bitcoin that is going after a massive market

opportunity, it is not going to be a smooth price trend. we see that on the upside in the down side. today thereso sell is a lot going on in mainstream news. we saw those brutal riots at the capitol. we have seen big tech making some strong moves. facebook, twitter, amazon all down today. we have a transition of power and an inauguration coming up and no one knows for sure if it will be peaceful. is it possible all of this is connected or that this uncertainty and tumult have had an impact on bitcoin? spencer: i think bitcoin and crypto more broadly and the entire crypto industry has its own idiots at big -- its own idiosyncratic growth trend. i do think some factors help and the crypto movement at

various times. bitcoin in particular is going after a market segment like gold, certainly in times of uncertainty like we have seen recently where we see appreciation in gold, you can expect to see bitcoin appreciate. i do not think it is the driving factor behind any of this. we are seeing is a growth story around bitcoin and crypto more broadly. a much broader adoption over the past couple of years and in terms of the outlook and years ahead. emily: what would your call be for bitcoin in the next six month? spencer: people get particularly caught up on price targets. i am a former equities analyst. i used to cover up and he's like salesforce and linkedin so i get it. for something like bitcoin instead of focusing on random people's price targets, i think everyone would do better to ask themselves a similar question, which is, three years from now, do you think a more or fewer

people are going to want to owing bitcoin? -- to own bitcoin? i am steadfast in my response the answer is more. a lot more people want to own bitcoin three years from now. everyone starts off skeptical, which is a totally understandable study point. it explains why some -- why sub 1% of the population owned any bitcoin in the first deck lloyd. it keeps reproving -- it keeps improving its robustness. more people, not less adopt bitcoin. emily: professor bogart, thank you for giving us your recent impressions of what is going on here. blockchain capital partner spencer bogart there. ok. coming up, big tech under big pressure as the app parler goes dark as do the president's accounts on facebook and twitter. what it means for section 230, the law that gives tech companies protection for liabilities from the content

their users post. that is next. this is bloomberg. ♪

emily: this is "bloomberg technology." i am emily chang in san francisco. big tech under pressure as platforms cut off president trump and app stores and amazon cut off parler. some critics say the socialtion. with me to look at what it means for section 230, the legislation is our white house reporter. first of all, what is the latest in terms of what have we heard

it must be disconcerting as the white house reporter not to have that steady window inside the president head at any given second. josh: my phone battery is doing way better than it normally is at this time of day. we have not heard anything live from the president today. the white house put out a statement he gave a medal of honor to tim jordan who is one of his biggest fans. jordan was one of the republican house members who voted against accepting the results of pennsylvania and arizona in the aftermath of the storming of the capitol last week. interesting timing to give them this metal. he is due to travel to the border and perhaps will make comments. he has completely disappeared from public view since twitter froze him out and since he delivered his speech last wednesday, which keyed up the

storming of the capital. emily: so what is the latest on whether the president will be office between now and inauguration day? what do we know? josh: it seems almost certain he will not be. there is no sign he will resign. 25th amendment is messy. slamdunk.a mike pence has given no indication either way he is either considering that or he has avoided out. he and trump seem to be at odds. it is not clear they have spoken since wednesday at all. a third option is impeachment. democrats are moving forward with that but we did not know how quickly it will move in the senate. theydemocrats are saying want to tee it up so the senate can move if trump does something egregious in the final days. it looks like he will remain

president until the 20th. how many people stay around him is another question. chad wolf, the acting homeland security secretary resigned effective tonight. -- pointing to legal fights over his nomination, which was disputed as opposed to wednesday's events. what: the big question is happens between now and january 20 the echo there has been speculation that because of the moves of facebook and twitter and amazon, google and apple as well, we could see the president rail on big tech for his final days in office. you heard senator graham saying he would work on undermining or removing section 230 as well. it is a little odd because we have not heard anything from the president at all. he does not have the normal platforms he uses to do said railing. do you believe that because of what happened that section 230 is more under threat that these

tech platforms will face more scrutiny in the future? josh: i doubt it to be frank. trump wants to be seen to do something on big tech this week. we will expect him to do that but he cannot do it on his own. if he could do it on his own, he would have done it already. it was section 230 over which he vetoed the ndaa, the big defense bill was one of a handful of reasons. congress simply overrode him. i do not think there is appetite in congress or it is unclear yet there is. i do think we are going to see him rail against it. he said he might set up his own social media company of some kind. likeption to jump onto one parler are dwindling. the other is conservatives including his own son donald trump, jr. said it is not as fun having a social media site that

is all conservative talking about everything they agree on. i think he is in bit of a bind. he loved twitter. it is not like his list of social media it was twitter and other things. a was twitter, big gap and couple of others. to lose his first love when it social media has got to be grading. he is not muzzled. there is a press corps sitting at the white house right now. he could go up to the podium at any moment and say what he wants. questions shouted at him as he walks away and that seems to be dissuading him from doing it. twitter but with the ability to make news the traditional way presidents have doe news for centuries, what you expect the next nine days to look like?

ident actually do as he loses his cabinet and his top advisers? whatjosh: i think he will certay world out final executive orders possibly around immigration for instance. i think he has certainly prepared at least some pardons. we do not know how many he is going to do. the big question is will he try to pardon himself? there is a whole mix of views on whether he can or should do that. like we say, he is going to the border. he is going to talk about the border wall. we do not know whether he will speak to the press or take questions. he has not announced any other trips. he has not said what he will do on the 20th. whether he will try to do any biden'sprogramming to inauguration. biden has announced after he is sworn in, he will go to arlington national cemetery with

former presidents including george bush, barack obama and bill clinton. donald trump will not be among them. emily: josh wingrove, keep us posted. i know at least your phone battery is full. we will take you back if you have any updates. sticking with this conversation and the inauguration, section 230, we are joined by rick davis who worked on john mccain's campaign back in the day. rick, would you agree with josh's assessment that it is likely president trump will still be in office january 20? rick: i think josh has got it right. any gambit to try to pull him from office in advance is not going to work. the only one who can get him out the 20th isfore donald trump himself. he could quit. there is always been speculation he would resign and have vice president pence give him a

pardon. their deteriorating relationship takes that off the table. from what we hear coming out of the white house, maybe he will pardon himself and let everybody work it out in the courts after he is gone. certainly on his side it does not look like anything like that is going to happen. there is no real mechanism in congress to do it in advance of the inaugural. it looks like this administration is going to continue to haunt halls of congress long after he leaves office. opinion as is your to whether facebook and twitter have made the right call in cutting off the president? do you think that is fair? rick: they are certainly following some element of public opinion. howoes not take long to see 'spopular president trump plu

speech, getting his supporters whipped up to attack the capitol has been. they know they are under pressure, the tech companies, on section 230. they were under pressure five years ago. it has been harder in the last two years. there is bipartisan congressional support for looking at section 230 and doing something about it. they had to make a call. we know that a lot of efforts . it is much more public when the president of the united states is the one using hate speech. they took a risk. it is hard to tell whether it will pay off in the long run. probably upsets republicans a lot more than democrats. democrats have had problem with section 230 too and privacy issues. big tech, they were in the frying pan in congress all year. they're going to be in it next year no matter what they did. at least here they can appear to

the public sentiment and say they try to do the right thing for our democracy. emily: apple and google also cut off the up parler, then amazon did it via aws. i spoke to the ceo of parler a a few weeks ago about the conservative nature of the site. he talked about the company's objectives at the time. did he had to say. >> there is a lot of people on the left on the platform. they are outnumbered greatly by conservatives right now, which is fine. we are unbiased in that we are not identified by who is on our platform. bring us backto to a people's place online, not a place for big tech oligarchs. rick: john mckay's to me all the time -- --[crosstalk] emily: parler's ceo said they

will not be able to provide anyone a service. they will be able to find another web hosting platform. do you think if the president joins that, does he start his own thing? rick: what is outrageous about that statement as it is not the people who are on it, it is what they are doing. if you are inciting violent overthrow of your government regardless of whether you are a liberal or conservative, you should be banned from that kind of vehicle. that is what extremism is defined by. we know the homeland security department has said the biggest threat to our democracy is domestic extremism. i am not sure what you think about parler as a vehicle, but if it is aiding and abetting a better -- and abetting that kind of activity and not policing at, then they have something to account for. anybody who is in can see parler has been a frequent basis for

this kind of discussion online as to how to attack the capitol, as early as last week. havenk all these companies a big issue. there is no clear definition on what to allow and what not to allow. the pendulum for the last two decades has been let anything happen. you can see the pendulum has now swung and the question is how do you police what is on your system and make sure it does not violate the rights of others and is not extremism and to some degree, how do you decide what a fact is because part of the problem that has occurred is parler haves like their own set of facts. the reality is that has brewed this kind of discontent. quickly, what do you think is the future of the republican party and president role in it?

rick: in 30 seconds, it will be a challenge. there are good people in the republican party and there will be people who have to account for their role in helping donald trump do what he has done. there is a clash brewing. the question is, when does that start to show up? emily: all right. you will keep us apprised of your opinions. rick davis, thanks so much for joining us. coming up, the massive effort to get the covid-19 vaccine into the arms of americans is just part of the picture of getting people back to work. how is that effort going? slowly. we will check in with a health official in florida next. this is bloomberg. ♪
