methods that our politicians do use and we need to have access to that to speak with them now jack dorsey also responded to his decision to ban the president and said that offline harm as a result of online speech is demonstrably real now that is somewhat problematic because it's a very broad statement that can be applied to just about anything in any speech and it also assumes a causal relationship between online speech in real world violence and we've seen a rapid decrease in twitter followings and we have further evidence that this is just beyond trump because in a race phone call jack dorsey in fact said that they will be removing more accounts about 70000 they said they will remove it this will go on extends beyond the inauguration and the great purge here you know if you know it seems to me that platforms like twitter and facebook and and google what they're doing they're doing is they're substituting their terms of service for the constitution of the united states i mean they make they're above the law because they interpret it and then they will discard with they don't like i mean

julia, to put a coat on it for now, i assume all eyes will be on jack dorsey and see what he does next. >> that's right. trump did delete the three tweets that were in question twitter had blocked. because he deleted the tweets, there is a 12-hour waiting period he should be allowed to tweet again this afternoon president trump has 88 million followers on twitter that has been his bullhorn throughout his presidency. so it will be really interesting to see what additional steps twitter takes right now. but just really notable, carl, that these platforms are going to be under a lot of scrutiny for the role they might have played in enabling the organization of yesterday's event and insighting unrest and discord in general, john >> thank you we're going to continue talking about this now with carly fiorina, the former republican presidential candidate, former h.p. ceo good morning major indices are in the green american democracy is not. we have a sitting u.s. president attempting to subvert the constitution and retain power. he used lies and intimidation to try to bully state officials i

elizabeth: twitter's jack dorsey, sure, twitter bans president trump. that he feels like banning people is, is going to set a dangerous precedent and he is worried about a failure to promote healthy conversation. what was your reaction when you heard that? >> i think his business partner came in to the room and said, have you seen the stock tanking and have you seen how many people are disengaging? and so he had to wind that back and completely change his tune. i mean, this is ridiculous hypocrisy. we've seen it over and over from big tech. frankly let me add one thing. i'm tired of politicians complaining about this. they have to start doing something instead of complaining. they have to act. if i see another politician complain about big tech or censored without doing something, it will cause people to revolt whoever that is, whether a republican or democrat or an independent. we need people who see problems and solve problems. not just complain about them on tv. elizabeth: so but jack dorsey tweeted, if folks don't agree with our rules they can simpl

and it's big enough for me to think that jack dorsey is, well, he is lower than a snake's belly, and to be held accountable. your thoughts. >> i absolutely think so. that, i think, requires a shift of mindset on the part of those of us who are of the right, people who are conservatives. for too long we were beholden to these dogmas about strictly thinking about repression, about violation of fundamental rights as something that government does. we're now learning that overleaning corporate power, the private tyranny of a few oligarchs is also something that can threaten our fundamental rights. and, yes, there are still some conservatives who say, well, it's okay because it's a private actor doing it. whereas, as you know, lou, if free speech evolves, it happens on these platforms. so if they can ban the president of the united states, ban the nation's oldest daily newspaper, "the new york post," founded by alexander hamilton, then free speech is effectively dead even if there's a letter in the constitution. it becomes a paper, right? it's no longer a living right. so we need to start

how was the scale and the division-incurring speech, and i think dorsey is right, the ban is a little too late and if anything it calls for a moment that is almost like a constitutional -- in the digital world. with technology the private technology companies are eating up public institutions and public areas of concern, so when youtube eats saturday morning cartoons, and software eats the world it deregulates the world and puts it autocratic worlds, and what we want is to make sure we keep those protections we might have lost. there's two ways to fail here. one is you can have no digital articles of impeachment, and there's probably conditions for impeachment once you have a digital nation, and the question is should those articles of impeachment be decided by a mark zuckerberg or jack dorsey, or a constitutional process, and this is the result of ten years of not having a constitutional process and having a business model, logic that is about furthering the problems. >> josh, i am a former power user of twitter, a sometime user of facebook and instagram and i am on the border of, le

"the remarks shown in the video were delivered to our more than 5400 employees, and are nearly the same words jack shared in a tweet threaded, offering context around and reflections on our work to protect the conversation in recent weeks. it's not just big tech censorship. the mentality is bleeding into other areas as well. harvard students want to yank diplomas from ted cruz, dan crenshaw, and people who work in the trump administration. tyrus, i feel the most sorry for these harvard people. they have at. >> tyurs: oh, my gosh! i am so -- i do

media and silicon valley and specifically twitter jack dorsey and they see what they have done.ermany lecturing us on foreign government, on how we are going after free speech and so i think it's a crisis and i'm hoping that there are going to be some voices on the left that will stand up and say, we've gone too far. they've already overreached and they haven't even taken over the white house. maria: i want to ask you about policy decisions around the russia hoax and this decision to declassify documents this week. what are we going to see this week, ric, in terms of hillary clinton's emails that pompeo was supposed to declassify and other declassifications coming from the department of justice, what should we expect? >> i hope that we will see a whole treasure troll of documents that show the russian collusion investigation from the very beginning, when you look at the dates of the early warning signing, you will see that career officials knew exactly that this was a phoney investigation. those are in the documents. unfortunately what we had political appointees during the obam

we go from here because i just don't think you know that what why should mark zuckerberg or jack dorsey tell me what i can say and what i can say go ahead. so yeah there's a difference between the utility in the platform so i agree that the utility there is a utility aspect but it now doesn't lie in facebook that it lies in you know my provider wave broadbent they're the ones giving me access to the internet that's the utility facebook needs to be fit facebook needs competition facebook is dominant so requires competition so that maybe antitrust action against facebook the it is so that you've got more you know more options right more options and then regarding 230. i think they i don't think there's any. intention to deny free speech i think the the problem is is that there has been 0 constraint on speech published on facebook twitter and so on because of a kind of an of an of a concept in the law that by that that i think new york courts were responsible for that if if an internet provider like facebook were to attempt to regulate speech then they would lose their section to 30 protec

that seems to be the message of jack dorsey.esn't just want a platform for people to share their thoughts, he wants control. he said if they can do it to a president of the united states, imagine what they can do to the rest of us. we see that same dogma and ideology applied online. twitter has taken the president of the united states out of the public discourse but allows people like the ayatollah of iran who regularly cheers death to america to continue to spew vile -- continue to spew vile hatred on their platform. judge jeanine: that's what happens when big tech gets bigger than the government. the government has to rein them in. whether they are monster monopolies, they have got the protection of an open platform. they are editorializing. they are acting as publishers. this is the justice department breaking them up. we are talking about amazon, apple, facebook. then in addition to the justice department making sure that they don't just willy-nilly censor people or else they have to be accountable under 230. >> president tr

i absolutely do not buy it look jack dorsey walks around with that ridiculous you know rumpelstiltskin beard of his and is making statements that make no sense whatsoever he's saying in this moment we were right to completely remove from our platform the sitting president of the united states because of 2 tweets which by the way if you go back and read the tweets one tweet essentially said that trump would not allow his supporters to be bullied and number 2 that he would not attend the inauguration of by those with the tweets at twitter so they were going to permanently banned him over they were not called for violence in fact what twitter said was you have to take those tweets not what they specifically say but in the broader context of what they say which basically means out of context take them out of context and then you can understand so but at the same time jack dorsey trying to have a both ways and this goes back to what miles was talking about because there's such a backlash especially among foreign leaders right now who say what do you guys doing over there that he now says we

pelosi with her spiteful, vindictive, vengeful rage, jeff bezos, jack dorsey, tim cook and apple with unprincipled a century purge. these people say they want to unite the country. on wednesday the country was united and utterly condemning the violence and chaos in the capital riots. now thanks to pelosi, bezos, dorsey, zuckerberg and cook everyone is back in their tribal camps, nice work guys. the establishment may think they can get rid of trump but they can't get rid of the 75 million americans who voted for him and they can't get rid of the multiracial working-class coalition he assembled and the movement he builds and the ideas he champions and right now after all that is happened those people, that movement who believe in these ideas still back trump. we have to understand why. trumps critics say he has no empathy and that is so often the case they are guilty of the exact same thing they accuse others of. some of us reject violence, hate intolerance, disrespect unconditionally. it's all wrong wherever it comes from and who ever it is aimed at. that is not the standard followed b
