buzzfeed. you go through this entire lives. there are practically no news stories.hat are lots of interesting stories. what mental floss is seems to me discovered very early on is that there's something about the curiosity for content. it doesn't necessarily pride time in his or newsworthiness that journalistic principles, but rather interestingness. tell me a little bit about how that's animated your philosophy at mental floss, and mental floss, and how maybe you've seen an evolution in greater behavior and social media has picked up in the last few years. >> obviously facebook has made a number of changes to the algorithm and really trying to figure these interesting stories as you see. i'm not sure i look at facebook necessarily as an outlet for news so much as an outlet for conversation around that news. so what we found is an interesting challenge is that whenever something huge is going on, that's what everybody is going to be talking about. as a new source or an information source, if you were to just repost our tell the story of what just happened, you're go

joining us the editor for buzzfeed, a current criminal defense and civil rights attorney. welcome to you all. let me start with you, craig, from your reporting. why is this such a big deal. especially for people who care what's on their phone but say they, i never expect to run into the cops anyway. >> the thinking was customers aren't very good at maintaining their own data privacy. here the companies are stepping in. they're encrypting all these things by default for the first time. even if you don't know anything about how your smart phone works, your data is protected from the police. >> and charlie, when you look at this, and say protected from the police, what's so interesting here, because we often think about this in terms of law and constitutional rights and the protections, which basically means the government stepping in in some way and having a rule to protect you from what it might do. this is different, right? this is sort of code. >> yeah. this is apple saying today that if we don't even have -- we don't even possess the ability to get at this stuff. i mean,

so if there's one thing buzzfeed knows, it's cats. i mean, they've built their business on it.ng up with pure arena to -- purina. what do you think about this one? have you watched these, by the way? that little baby kitten, the older one is sort of ridiculously hazing the baby and introducing that kitten to the house, and everything the older cat says is fairly hysterical. >> well, i'm against hazing, melissa. melissa: that's good. very pc of you. barron's has been doing well, but maybe we ought to look into it -- melissa: right now we are playing an extended cat video. this whole segment is about having cats on the it's -- >> i can't take my eyes off, look at that little nose. melissa: i think maybe it will work for us. all right, gentlemen, thanks to both of you. >>> the president blames the intelligence committee for, quote, underestimating isis. now they're firing right back with some pretty strong words of their own. these are the wrong people to have on your bad side, by the way. >>> and the doctor will see you now, but only after you've paid. how some hospitals are aski

i love buzzfeed. i think it's a terrific company, what they've done. it's 100ish million of revenue and maybe 10, $20 million of profit at best, that doesn't move the needle on the yahoo! business. being pragmatic on how to operate the business, you will cash that goes back to shareholders. i think you have to buy revenue, you have to buy uniqueness for the company, if you're going to buy. i don't think it's about buying a big name. it's about buying things that will positively impact this business right to the bottom line. the things that come to mind for me the way that the internet is shifting and yahoo!'s position in it, i think you want to buy unique content that is profitable, you want to buy ad tech that will help monetize the 800 users and i think you want to think about something in the platform space for mobile. if you do those things and she has set the company up to be in a winning position, it's all about execution now. >> ross, sit tight. we'll take a break and come back and talk about other issues in tech including partying like it's 199

>> now you said to the reporter from buzzfeed who initially reported this story out before we startedybe surprised there wasn't more national media attention. education specially in the wake of ferguson and the shooting of mike brown? do you think it's because it's about women or sexual assault rather than death? why do you think it took a while to get us focused on this story? >> well, i think it may have taken a while because of all the events happening dealing with african-americans and policing. i do want to applaud the media. now you have taken a great interest in this story. because of these women being abused. no women deserve to be abused. even by a police officer. >> but just hold one second. you said earlier that there are cases of women being abused in front of the police. this is a story of allegedly women being abused by the police. and it feelses to me again like if you have very little trust in police because of these sorts of incidents how that makes it more difficult to call and report. >> any situation where there's disproportionate power being levied is a situation
