>> sandra, the memo authored by andrew bosworth titled the ugly.t was released to facebook employees back in june of 2016. it reveals that facebook certainly understands the physical and social risks their product carries. but bosworth, who is among facebook founder mark zuckerberg's trusted lieutenant makes it very clear as long as the company is growing the dangers are secondary it should being noted that facebook's growth is astounding. the company has more than 2 billion users and a market value of nearly a half trillion dollars. buzzfeed reports that inside facebook andrew bosworth is known for being blunt but not diplomatic. in the memo, bosworth argues that connecting people is paramount despite what could be catastrophic consequences. quoting here: the ugly truth is that we believe in connecting people so deeply that anything that allows us to connect more people more often is de facto good. it is perhaps the only area where the metrics do tell the true story as far as we are concerned. the memo was actually posted internally one day after

bosworth, according to buzz feed. "maybe someone dies in a terror attack and the ugly truth is that we believe in connecting people so deeply, and anything that allows us to connect more people more often is de facto good." guest: it is amazing to me that they put that in writing and thought it would never get out. this whole issue of the memo and everything we are seeing is a firestorm in silicon valley, comes down to a sense of miss right -- misplaced priorities on the part of tech companies. it is just an idea that the rules do not apply to them. maybe that sounds harsh, but for so long they had so much press coverage and were seen as the darlings of washington. i think i got used to that idea that they are always the good guy, they cannot make mistakes. that memo sort of proves it. even if people die, we are connecting people and that is worth it. they need to start recognize there is a change going on culturally and in washington, and if they do not wake up, things will not turn out well. combine the new skeptici

the tangle resembles the dog-like shape and it parallels to bosworth.e believe it was laid out near the boss worth street. in the next map in 1960 of a realtor showed a pronounce dog-leg shaped route labelled old san josÉ road that splits from telegraph road which is today's mission street. we found the leg appeared similar to that of the noe map and as shown in the image it appears the old san josÉ road appears to have been given rise to chinnery and arlington street so the return of the san josÉ road appears to overlay today's wilder street as old and new san josÉ roads lay up in the tangle and when laid out the aly begins at chinnery street. i have one more map to show a dog-leg that appears in a 1917 map that is the old chinnery street that is today's alleyway. we believe this site is deserving not only landmark status but commemoration that marks the route. we urge the commission to reconsider the breadth of the above and note the case number and thank you in advance for your kind consideration. >> next speaker, please. >> good evening commissioner

that from andrew bosworth is some kind of weird claim that the company just says things to each othere not true in some sort of performance art. it's not credible and it's frustrating to people who see this company as so central to so many things, our democracy, our economy, and this is how they continue to defend themselves. >> you've been looking at the culture of facebook and the culture of cambridge analytica which has been in the news the last few weeks, talking to folks who worked at the company. what have you heard from them? >> this is what we're grateful to. as reporters we're certainly on the outside looking in. i just taped and we're going to air for the first time a special on the beat at 6:00 p.m. tonight an interview with another cambridge analytica whistleblower. this is the firm that worked for the trump campaign digitally. she has a story to tell about that swlds facebook. here is one of the things she talks about in terms of facebook's culpability. >> our chief data officer said, we deleted the data sets that we were asked to delete. now, i find it incredibly irrespo
