c.e.o. of connect safely dog it's an internet safety organization that advises companies including facebook on safety issues and he's joining us now from months of you in california thank you very much indeed for your time i was interested in something that mug zuckerberg said in his statement there that facebook had been investigating this for many months and they found no evidence of fake accounts linked to russia until recently why is it so difficult for a company like facebook to find these things. well when you think about the volume of advertising that they carry and the fact that it fell third if in most cases it's not if somebody from russia called up a facebook employee and said i want to buy an added follow done through online tools it is difficult for them to do know exactly who bought what and of course now they're under such incredible pressure that i think that they are digging deeper and more carefully than they might have when they first started. privacy has always been an issue as far as facebook is concerned how do you think the facebook users are going to react when they

of the room. and facebook is now the latest to be pulled into the web of a congressional investigation into possible russian twenty six thousand presidential election interference facebook founder and c.e.o. mark zuckerberg said his company will hand over information about russian bought political ads on facebook we are actively working with the u.s. government on its ongoing investigations into russian interference we've been investigating this for many months now and for a while we had found no evidence of fake accounts like to russians going to russia running ads and when we recently uncovered this activity we provided that information to the special counsel we also briefed congress and this morning i directed our team to provide the ads we've found to congress as well. that coburg said buyers potentially linked to russia bought one hundred thousand dollars worth of political ads between june twenty fifteen and may of twenty seventeen adding that the wires were linked to quote in authentic accounts a spokesperson for the russian government asserted russia never placed any political ads on facebook. and coming up later on r t first a fingerprint to unlock your phone and now it's your f

twenty sixteen presidential election has taken yet another term still no valid proof of interference but now facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg has handed over records to special counsel robert muller regarding the russian ads on its platform all this all comes ahead of michael cohen president trump's attorney preparing to testify to the senate committee on tuesday and for more on this let's turn to steve malzberg t.v. host and political commentator so steve let's start with one of the latest developments mark zuckerberg getting involved do you think it's interesting that now suddenly he's bringing facebook into this fight expression day after many say that he might be getting into politics sometime soon. well yeah i think that's a good point to make look this whole russian investigation has been a bunch of nothing let me just give some background recent background the head of the f.b.i. last week testifying before congress said there's not a whiff of interference on the part of the trump administration into the mother investigation yet we've heard from the media about how donald trump is trying to intimidate

facebook c.e.o. and visionary gap mannequin, mark zuckerberg, said, "after the election, i made a comment that i thought the idea that misinformation on facebook changed the outcome of election was a crazy idea. calling that crazy was dismissive, and i regret it." oh, you regret it, mark? that's nice. we all have regrets. i regret eating too many fudge stripes at lunch. let's see if that destroys america. let's give the keebler elves the launch codes. ( laughter ) so, under public pressure, last week, "facebook agreed to turn over the russian-linked ads to congress." great. so they'll get to the bottom of this as soon as an intern teaches a bunch of old guys how to use facebook. "no, senator grassley, when you comment on someone's picture, you don't have to write, 'sincerely, charles e. grassley.' they know it's you. and, please, you don't have to lick a stamp and put it on the computer. please don't do that." but it's not like the russians were just trying to help trump. what we have found out recently is the russians were also trying to hurt hillary because they used facebook to "back bernie sanders even after his presidential campaign ended." and ran ads in suppo

and a facebook's position has changed earlier it claimed it was a unaware of any paid ads designed to meddle in the elections and right after the us elections c.e.o. mark zuckerberg said it was crazy to think that fake news could have influenced the outcome of the presidential vote well also of concern is the fact that the company refuses to release any of the alleged russian ads it found the same time google says it hasn't found any evidence of suspected targeted ad campaigns and we talked to historian arabs' weiss who thinks these allegations are ridiculous. facebook earned sixty six billion dollars from advertising just last year alone and be a legit campaign is it true your campaign with one hundred thousand dollars obviously that could not have swayed an election anywhere except maybe in a small town in an presidential campaign there are hundreds of millions of dollars that are spent no one in the government or it takes work or in the news media presenting even a single one of the alleged three thousand on line advertisements the lack of true shipley shows their intent i mean that they would present this garbage to the other like it's not ev
