this tension between our reddit meeting the outside world. the outside world meeting reddit. neither, usually being quite sure to make of the other. i would like to start by asking, what is one thing you'd say that is understood about the other. the outside world and read it? similarly, what is one of the most meaningful ways in which each has changed the other? >> that was a small question there. [laughter] it's so funny to me, i've been a reporter for more than the last decade. i've been following reddit for a lot of that time. but it was very fascinating to me that another cultural moment that struck was the boston marathon bombing. to me, that was fascinating because it was most american entry points to read it. when i started working on the book, i would ask people with a new about reddit, did they go there everyday? have they never heard of it? people would say, didn't they really messed up during boston marathon? that was a complete witchhunt of the fx and how to -- the terrible outcome. there is this tension but i don't know, i wouldn't say it's a clear line between t

and you have an anarchist spirit of reddit and rough around the edges reddit.it doesn't jive with modern bright shiny social media where everything is airbrushed in photoshop to. what is happening to me is how will reddit move from being a place that only cared about user growth and not offending users at any cost to a place where people feel comfortable visiting sites about gaming, so much casual misogyny women couldn't check the news about the videogame they loved without feeling harassed. >> you mentioned briefly in the book the notion of the endless september. in days of the internet where every september, newsgroups would be deluged with new enrollees in college with no idea the protocols and community standards and newsgroups, just horrible, a rumor the song wake me up when september ends was written about the recurring phenomenon. when you were mentioning huffman's mandate to bring 1 billion users and what he hopes to do to make the site easier to use for new users. and at the end of the book he says of the people who have been with reddit for so long th

it was a joke on reddit. but that is a prime example of what you hear over and over again with this recurring tension between reddit needing the outside world and neither knows what to make of the other. so what is one thing you would say with the outside world and read it? similarly what is the most meaningful ways it has fundamentally changed the other. >> i have been a reporter for more than a decade and following reddit a lot of that time but it was touching another cultural moment was the boston marathon bombing. that is fascinating because that was most americans entry point into reddit do they go every day? people would say that was a complete witchhunt of a suspect but but there is this tension but i don't know there is a day clear line between the outside world one third people go there every month whether by accident some people know they are going there. it is trying to be more mainstream to look more like twitter and google and facebook. but in terms of that rally it is interesting read it doesn't

so that summarizes reddit with its glories and flaws? . >> yes. i cannot believe he is still a sane individual today after going through all of that. it is amazing what he saw and nurtured on the site. so there is this amazing moment where he brings is dog to these meetings and i heard at - - at first he brought it along to be friendly but then it was a pitbull mix so we did have another use as well at times. [laughter] because with reddit, they are basically all anonymous. you could choose our real identity or anything course that is changing a little bit today as it moves into the modern era but you would never know where a person was coming from if they were posting online. or the employees who often spoke with the most obnoxious trolls that we would consider terrible and then to say they are keeping this dark realm the worst off of it. but they are managing the crazy ecosystem what looks like to a regular person as sexism and pornography. >> the extent to which that community team is in constant contact with many of the moderators from the mos

last year, they threatened a reddit user for creating an anti-cnn mima.fend free speech, only when it is their speech. you will notice, by the way, cnn did not object when the government threatened to imprison employees of the cable channel rt if they didn't register as foreign agents. it is owned by a formant government, so is the bbc. until last year, much of "the new york times" was owned by a foreign national. this is true of other organization, none of which has ever registered as a foreign agent. but because rt is owned by russia, which the left believes that donald trump elected, it is fine with cnn if they are bullied and silenced. so, call cnn what you will, but don't pretend they are defenders of the first amendment. they are not. victor davis hanson is a close watch her of all of this, he joins us tonight. i just want to be clear, we are always for free speech. especially speech that is offensive, even by obnoxious white house correspondents. but to see a channel that has lobbied against the right of others to say what they think is true, to al

so these are companies like reddit, facebook, and twitter as a few examples who we see this -- these policies applying to. >> also companies like paypal and stripe, so somewhat deeper as well. >> absolutely. yep. and so the reason we did that is because we are committed to net neutrality and to preserving the openness of the web. we thought it was really important to make that distinction between those who are providing services over the web and those who are providing our access. >> thanks, jessica. heidi, jessica laid out what's in the policies. maybe you could tell us what's the need for the policies? why create these policies at this time? >> sure. well, i mean, there are so many benefits to the web. but there are also significant problems that have been created by the fact that people have access to this world of information dissemination. for white supremacists in the pre-world wide web era it was actually pretty hard for them to get their propaganda out, to contact other people, to organize events. and what's happened with the rise of social media and so on, is it has allowed

the previous today, we are here in the newsroom monitoring and joining in conversations online on reddit, facebook, twitter of course and over the course of the last months we've heard from hundreds of readers and viewers talking about what they want out of the candidates and then being able to post this question. the 1st comes from lauren rizzo, an it consultant who like so many cares about healthcare costs and much of our family are canadian, i spoke with her and she was obviously living under a single-payer system. she's not advocating that, he says they must be done and her question is can we do, what can we do about the rising cost of healthcare and health insurance? >> that's one of the biggest issues in the district. mr. kim, you were a key player in efforts to repeal the affordable care act. how do we get costs down for seniors and working people? >> that has been my cost and everything i've done is to bring costs down. to do things like service reform so doctors are paid just for activity. to do tort reform so that doctors are practicing effective medicine. to bring prescription

we fail to think through the implications of reddit and the details of how it would be carried out, andtheresa may and the belgian prime minister. this is in the mons area of belgium. two outriders in the first part of the convoy for the belgian prime minister were hurt or at least one of the outriders was injured. the belgian prime minister got out of his vehicle to check that the young rider was ok. we are told that theresa may stayed in her protective vehicle and was driven away shortly afterwards. that news just coming in from gavin lee. there's been a sharp decline in the number of children being born globally. a report published in the lancet says that in 1950, women were having an average of around five children in their lifetime, but that figure has now halved. cyprus has the lowest birth rate in the world, with women there having one child on average. earlier, katie silver, who's been covering the story, told me more about the research. what they were trying to see, as you say, basically 4.7 children in 1950 was what the average woman was having, now it is down to about 2.4. th

, there is a lot of reporting to suggest that bad players are moving over to other platforms like redditd so it is a colossal problem. we don't have the answers yet. >> heidi, i'm just curious, when they talk to you, when their pr people talk to you, do they lie to you? do they say they didn't do this? because every time we have talked to people connected with facebook, and we haven't done it in about six months, but it's always -- they're always lying. they're always saying, oh, no, this didn't happen. oh, no, we didn't know about this until -- and then a newspaper article comes out a couple weeks later that proves they're lying. >> i would say that i didn't detect any lies in our meetings with them, but then again, they are not putting the people, joe, in the position of knowing who are interfacing with us, the media. they are people who are cut from the pr cloth and not into the inner mechanics of the institution. and i mean, their goal is basically to put the best possible face on what they're doing now going forward and continuing to try and push us to not focus so much on the damag
