the plot one of the seventh of january but we have also been very firm with facebook in telling them it wasn't right to give an indefinite penalty. facebook must follow its own rules, it's asking of everyone else to follow the rules and must follow their own rules and it is not in facebook rules to give an indefinite penalty. >> facebook now has six months to justify an appropriate response. trump was banned from both sites in january following the deadly capital riot. former president trump responded to the decision writing, "what? free-speech from the president of the united states because the radical left lunatics are afraid of the truth but the truth will come out anyway, bigger and stronger than ever before. the people of our country will not stand for it." >> the decision is raising questions about censorship on social media and joining me right now is electronic frontier foundation, legal director, karen mcsherry. thanks for your time this

afternoon. what is your take on this decision? it feels a little bit like facebook is trying to make up the rulebook as they go along here. >> i think that is right. i think that is a good feeling. the oversight board actually got a lot correct here. it said to facebook, we are not going to make this decision for you. we are not going to provide you with political cover because you are uncomfortable with making an actual decision here. we are going to call you to do that but did that is important for users, not just for president trump but for everyone, is they said, look, facebook, you need to have clear policies and you need to apply them clearly and consistently. you are not doing that now. that has to change. well, radio and tv stations, we answer to the fcc so if a tv station broadcast hate speech for example it could lose its license. there really is no governing body for social media sites. do we need one?

>> i don't think that actually would be a very good idea. i actually think this situation helps illustrate why. so what we have right now is a situation where a person on facebook has the first amendment protected right to host any speech it wants to or take speech down if it wants to. if someone is not happy about that, especially if they are the former president of the united dates, they can go and create their own website which is exactly what former president trump has done. >> right, but, you know, it is unlikely he is going to have 2 billion followers or whatever facebook is up to at this point. should there be different rules for private citizens as opposed to public once like politicians or presidents? >> well, the concern i have is if we tried to come up with sort of one global set of rules for everyone, all countries because remember, this is an international situation. for all countries and all different contexts, we are going to fill out that x effort

so that is why i'm against coming up with one set of rules for all social media plot one. we certainly cannot do that consistent with the first amendment. what oversight board said is they know that there are some members with more influential -- when you do that you need to take extra care to be consistent and extremely transparent about what you are doing, precisely because they are so influential. that is something facebook has done a terrible job at. pretty much from day one. >> yeah. as private companies, though, facebook and turner twitter and others, they can apply their own rules. in this case, the ban on president trump is indefinite. would you be in favor of something a little more concrete? if you post something objectionable, the first time, whatever kim you get a warning. next time, a slap on the wrist, strike two is you are a four- year, so when something, so do

we really know what the parameters are? >> that is exactly what we need. we need companies that can have 20 of leeway to do as they wish but if they really want to serve users, not just famous users but all users, they need rules that are clear, consistent and transparent. that -- at this point we still don't have that. >> yeah, what happens next in this particular case? in this case, it goes back to facebook and they are going to have the uncomfortable job of actually coming up with solid justifications for a permanent ban or not for this particular user. the other thing they are going to have to do a long way if they want to answer to what the board asked of them is they are going to have teresa visit -- to revisit their practices and fix quite a lot and make them a lot more clear for all users. that would be a real benefit. >> well, facebook is struggling in this area.

we will see if there up to the challenge. thank you for your time from the electronic foundation. i am sure we will revisit this down the road. thank you. >> my pleasure. a trip to space or just a fine wine from space. next. when a truck hit 'cat fair. i didn't know what my case was worth. so i called the barnes firm. i was hit by a car and needed help. i called the barnes firm,

agriculture. 14 months later, experts who sampled the wine said it was simply altered. it includes a bottle of the same one that remains on earth so the buyer can compare the two. spencer would you like a taste of the slightly altered? >> i'm curious. i would like to try it. that is one of those sought after winds on earth and now a sought after one from space. but wine is almost a living thing. it is constantly undergoing chemical changes. it is sensitive to changes in temperature, where it is stored and humidity and motion. i can't imagine what the suspension of gravity due to the development of wind so i wouldn't want to store my wine there but i am curious about the taste to see how it has evolved. if you got that bottle and you taste it turned ou le? would that be worth $1 million? >> it is still cool that it was aged in space but thanks for

explaining the science. i was wondering how being in space affects the taste. i guess you need two bottles to compare. >> one here and one there. remember the fuss over the so-called octa mom? a woman in africa has pushed her out of the history books. a 25-year-old woman in molly gave birth to nine babies. that is breaking the 22,009 double 2009 record. it came as a surprise. an ultrasound showed only seven. i can imagine the total came as a surprise. in all she delivered five girls and four boys by c-section, three of them right there. mom and babies are reportedly doing well at a hospital in morocco. can we give her some sort of award? honestly. >> that is a bit of a miracle that nine babies were born in one delivery and survived. that is amazing. >> yeah. >> does anybody look up how much the babies away weigh?

>> i hope they all survive. i assume they are pretty time tiny. >> i hope she has a village to support her, a big family network and friends. she will need a lot of help. >> one kid is a lot. >> yeah. >> i'm just talking about my kids. and they are grown now. but nine? wow. >> i just hope they are all safe and healthy. >> wasn't there a tv show called eight is enough? >> i guess eight wasn't enough. >> excellent. a new word that some of the kids are using these days is called a student in beverly hills pointed and it took off this year. people say it is open to interpretation but generally describes a style or trend once
