7:10 am
lava has been siphoning away from the volcano's summit, breaking through the ground in a series of more than a dozen fissures. as a result, lava levels inside the volcano's main crater have been decreasing. if more rocks and borders fall into the crater it could create a blockage and pressurize steam as the lava reached ground water levels. the resulting explosion can blast rock and ash for miles. >> all indications suggest that this could happen and that's why we're taking measures now to be prepared for a possible steam explosion. >> reporter: meanwhile, officials say they've avert add potential disaster by successfully removing some 60,000 gallons of highly flammable liquid from a now shuttered geothermal power plant near the fissures. is there any other explosive gas or chemicals? >> not explosive gas. >> reporter: the mayor, harry kim. >> you have to work from a worst case scenario. we have developed a solid system

8:42 am
going to keep the beard or not. if you are in the game, we'll raise our bet. >> good thing i missed the betting part. >> new information provided during the break which -- >> don't go with the new information. >> he's going to shave. >> okay. >> huh? >> he's going to shave. i changed my mind. >> okay. why did you change your mind? >> i was told he's going to wear his uniform. if you wear the uniform, you have to shave. >> and the person who gave you that information is -- >> the person on the other side of the bet. >> in the digital age, gayle, information changes quickly. >> it's all realtime. >> i liked you five minutes ago. okay. let's talk about this. it's widely believed the russians certainly influence the election in 2016. but do you believe that they change the outcome, and do you think there's anything we need to be doing to get ready for the midterms? >> i think it's very hard to say they changed the outcome. almost with 100% certainty, i can tell you that they meddled
8:43 am
in trying to influence people's opinions about the election. and i think that will be the case in the 2018 midterms as well. >> now that we know that, what should we be doing? >> the challenges for these companies, twitter and facebook traditionall hrsave ra, are been people trying to steal to -rpaers trying to get t you you to click on a link and buy something. the challenge now is some of these hackers are state actors like the russians, the chinese, to some extent iranians. and these state actors aren't trying to get you to click on something, to take money from you. they're not trying to steal your account information. they're just trying to sway your opinion. that's a much, much harder problem for these companies to attack. >> can i ask you about the pace of change. you were at twitter between 2010 and 2015. when you watch how fast things are changing now, how fast they change with twitter, can even catching up to what's going on in the new ways it's being used, is that even possible at a regulatory level or some other way to look at the pace of
8:44 am
change? >> the pace of change is extraordinary. you saw it with the google assistant video you showed earlier. we think that artificial intelligence is a long ways away and now here it is. we're asking if google is going to announce if it's the machine you're talking to or not. the notion that congress, who during the interviews with zuckerberg seemed not up to speed. one said my grandson william is on instagram as if mark, obviously, you know my grandson william. the notion that people who are not up to speed on these platforms will be able to regulate them in realtime is probably not going to happen. >> let's be honest. they're free, right? facebook is free. twitter is free. the only way those companies make money is mobile advertising. we hand over our data. our age, our gender, our professions. some apps ask how much money you make. you hand over all this data and facebook, twirtter, they make
8:45 am
money off advertising. the cat is out of the bag. i mean, i don't see how this is changing. >> it's interesting. when i was running twitter, the big challenge that we had was it was considered a strategic advantage that facebook had all this information about you personally that they could use to help advertisers micro target, and twitter didn't. you just had to sign up with an account i.d. and password and that's it. that flipped now. that advantage facebook had in some senses has become people have become aware that, wait a minute. i've given them an extraordinary amount of information. maybe i shouldn't be doing that. so there are platforms where you don't have to provide that information. you don't on twitter. that had previously been considered a disadvantage. now maybe it's an advantage. >> but do you think we're better off with facebook and twitter and those platforms? >> i do. we've had this discussion that the platforms should be more aggressive dealing with abuse. and i certainly have said that before and believe that if we go
8:46 am
back to 2010 when i first started as ceo that we should have been more aggressive about that. these platforms are a reflection of society's dysfunction. you have a president who calls people names on twitter. he's modeling behavior that other people in society are reflecting. >> dick costolo, great to have you here. hear more of "cbs this morning" on our podcast. we'll be right back. podcast and apps. we'll be r
