in addition to your private sector partnerships with facebook, would facebook be willing to partner with agencies like the f.t.c. to make sure the public is informed about scammers operating under platform? guest: congressman, i am very happy to follow up on all of that. i think it is important for. the public to understand the tools available to keep them safe online. ms. donovan: we should also consider the ways people are targeted by age, reverse mortgage scams, retirement funding scams, fake health care supplements, will you do retire, it becomes very confusing. you are looking for information, and if you are looking primarily on facebook and posting about it, you might be targeted by the advertising system itself. so even if you are not information-seeking, facebook's algorithms and advertising are giving other third parties information and then serving advertising to seniors. so it is a persistent problem. congressman: thank you. again, ms. bickert, if i could follow up quickly with my remaining 30 seconds, many of the scammers look for ways to get around facebook's policy, includi

>> i can speak for facebook. think it's important for people to be able to connect safely for specific information and my team is responsible for both. we tried to get people accurate information and there's everything we also do to remove abusive content by our standards. >> thank you ms. bickert. dr. donovan i saw you reacting to the trump rally aspect. could that still happen under existing social media? >> gest and the reason why i can still happen is because of the platform's openness is not turning into a bit of a society.lity in our what is dangerous about offense like that is the kind of research we do we are often trying to understand what's happening on line and what happens with the wires the interaction between the wires quite some people start to mobilize and start to show up places that to us is one order of magnitude much more dangerous. >> would surely be doing as government to help prevent that? >> there are ways in which when people are using particularly event features there has to be added tra

a face-off with facebook. the social met york is sued by four potential competitors to accuse facebook of anti-competitive behavior. details and what's at stake with the co-lead demounl the case. plus, the ultimate engagement, jack torsy asked tesla elon musk for a tip. we'll explain. and retail and return. the making of -- making the return of a merchandise a more customer-friendly experience. that's the return of friendly. e'll talk to the creo. >> four potential competitors are demanding that mark zuckerberg be forced to give up control of facebook. in a lawsuit they accused facebook of anti-competitive behavior. they want the social network to sell its whats app and facebook asset. facebook says the claims are without merit. we are joined by the co-lead council in the case. great to have you. >> thanks for having me. >> i wanted to break down some of this piecemeal. first, i wanted you to talk about mark zuckerberg and giving up control of facebook. is this even possible? and why? control incontestable ove

and the facebook customer, the facebook customer is the advertiser. we're all the product. melissa: the product. >> of course advertisers are happy because you can make these granular level targeted ad buys reach exactly the people you want to reach. you're not spending massive amounts -- certainly not spending five million dollars to run a 30 second ad on facebook like you're going to on the super bowl this weekend but of course facebook customers are happy. they're getting exactly what they want. roi on a facebook ad will get -- melissa: i don't know many people un40 on facebook. >> but they're on instagram. they're on instagram. that is the point. >> owned by facebook. that is continued risk moving forward, competition whether tiktok or other competing social media sites. i think we're seeing in the stock, quintessential buy the rumor, sell the fact. they beat, but didn't hit it on out of the park. melissa: i am not getting -- on instagram. >> what is your secret? melissa: forget it. i'm getting lots of ads. i don't want them to change my algorithm

facebook has made in election integrity. he admits they were behind in 2016 but that they feel more advanced right now going into 2020. are they doing enough spending to ensure the election integrity? >> that is a good question. there was a lot of debate over whether facebook would or would not accept political advertising. what needs to be addressed is the state of political content. there is so much political content that can go on to facebook because it can spread virally. those kind of things are still hard to control, not only for facebook but for other platforms. so, sure, facebook is doing better at moderating political content but i think it still has a long way to go to make the platform safe and comfortable for users and some people may get fed up if they don't see facebook continuing to make changes and continuing to monitor the changes going around about political discussion on facebook. taylor: did anything today change your attention on the focus when it comes to antitrust? >> nothing so far. obviously, we are

facebook, until today, facebook and google both traded at 13 times.ing amazon worth the premium to those guys because those guys are not going to grow anywhere near as fast as amazon. they don't have the margin expansion opportunity. yeah, i think there is plenty of room for upside that my target takes them to $1.15 trillion. taylor: david? david: what's amazing is there is such now in amazon. for years, we took for granted these are growth oriented people. now they are figuring it out. it is one of the things they are surprising us with. i think it is a little pricey, but like i said before, this company is establishing the playing field for all business globally, they deserve a premium. i guess that's what investors have concluded, including michael. taylor: both of you mentioned facebook. i want to pivot their next as we draw parallels and take a look at what was good this week. frankly in facebook's case, being good enough frankly is not enough these days to get it done. michael, 25% growth rate not enough for facebook? michael: i think facebook's

facebook and other products are more u.s. heavy. integrated, these products can communicate with one another and essentially, you will have 2 billion people and one giant social network. at that point, we do not think a normal remedy will fix rings. taylor: how did this even get approved when all of these deals were going through in the first place? >> what is interesting is how regulators think of competition. sometimes, it can be formalistic. at the time, they did not think of an applet, a third-party mobile apps as a competitor to a social network. in reality, what they are competing for is the social engagement and the user data that comes from it and that is why a messenger app is direct -- a direct threat to facebook. you can then target content and sell advertising. that is what they are all fighting for. what regulators will do is that these are two very different things than they are not in competition. now we know and we know from facebook's own documents that apps andfind messaging dating apps in direct competition with t

is for facebook, it was growing in the midteens every year. facebook is still within the 20% range.rt of the business, that's going to create some comparisons but i think overall they're in a really good place. >> so, mark, do you think that facebook is going to feel compelled this year, especially if you do see slowing top-line growth or expenses, at least in the near to medium term continuing to increase, feel compelled to break out more of it numbers, for example, instagram users? >> i don't think so. i think the way they're going, if you think about how advertisers spend money on the platform, they're spending less time saying do i want to spend on instagram or facebook facebook, you have the best algorithm. you decide where to best show the ad they moved the in the right direction and shift aid way from facebook blue users to platform users. i'm not expecting anything incremental in the next 12 months >> what about snap over facebook in the past year says about what facebook is doing right or wrong? >> the biggest change in snap in the last 12 months is they've shifted value pr

a reminder of our top story: facebook has recorded its first annualfall in facebook has recorded itsalfall in profits in at facebook has recorded its first annual fall in profits in at least five years. as its efforts to respond to privacy and content concerns took a toll on its bottom line. now, if you have ever purchased or sold a home, you know that it can be a stressful experience. ina in a couple of minutes, we are going to talk to the ceo of purple bricks. for some people, the most excruciating aspect of the whole process is paying the hefty commission fees usually associated with the use of estate agents. well, our next guest says his online firm — purplebricks — has a solution to this problem. founded in 2012, the uk—firm — which also operates in canada — claims its platform can save people money by offering fixed low fees for its services. with us now is vic darvey, chief executive of purplebricks welcome to the programme. thank you. good morning. when you started you we re good morning. when you started you were a real disruptor, you took the uk market by storm, you see an

and posted it on facebook and estate up for 2.5 hours for facebook removed the video. that got a lot of negative press. it these moments are moments in which we are becoming aware of the rules and ways in which facebook and companies take down this content at scale. the more we learn about what the private process entails and the legal remedies we can start to put into place around it, that's where the conversation has to begin. how are these decisions being made? i would like to go back to the definition. this is central to the entire panel and the conversation. there is a temptation to think of content moderation as something other than editorial judgment about what content should be published from third party. that is a divide in the conversation. some people will not be shaken off the belief. it is not an editorial decision it is something else. to me, it is squarely an editorial decision. they are deciding which third-party content they are willing to publish in which they are not. at which point legal consequences flow. where do you come out or where are you star

but facebook has another dark cloud on the horizon.ver its dominance in online advertising, which makes 98% of its revenue. it is going to increase its revenue streams, investing in artificial intelligence and augmented reality as well as mobile payments. but its effo rts mobile payments. but its efforts to create a new digital currency have also run up against concerned regulators. in the last few months, several of its big—name partners have dropped out of the plan. with this increased scrutiny and a us election on the horizon, mark zuckerberg's prediction that 2020 will be an intense year, seems likely. zoe thomas, bbc news in san francisco. james erskine from marketing consultants the big shot joins me now. good morning, it's nice to see you, james. good morning. what do you make of this news? where else could a company in the world makes so much profit and not seizure results react in a warm way? i would put it down to the rising costs and the duration of the company. in your report just there duration of the company. in your repo

a significant shift on facebook.ve 2019 is a peak investment, so you have marginal extension in 2020, 2 thousand 21. in 2020,epf's appreciating 25%, normalized had 35 percent etf growth in 2019. you also have a strong balance sheet and cash flow, which they don't often get credit for, whatsapp has a billion plus users and they haven't even scratched the surface in terms of monetizing those assets. is worthok stock mainly because of estimates coming in significantly above what analysts like me have been projecting, but i think ultimately will get that multiple extension in conjunction with upside to and revenues this year. i'm convinced it is a stock you want to own over the next five years, because of the factors i talked about, cheap relative growth, large cap, and relative to china, it trades just a few points above the s&p 500 index. if you look at the multiples versus the s and p 500, it is even more compelling. taylor: you also cover alphabet. is facebook poised to benefit more from olympics, political ad spendi

is facebook just undervalued to you? facebook stock hasn't really been a story this year, unlike other stocks and other sectors, but i think that story could likely change. number one, i do think there is continued user growth in 2020 across all four platforms. number two, advertising, facebook accounts for roughly about 12% of global advertising budgets today, growing by 18% by 2022, i think. a significant share shift on facebook. you also have the fact that 2019 was a peak investment year for them, so you have marginal extension in 2020, 2021. you have epf's in 2020, appreciating 25%, normalized growth, and you had 35 percent etf growth in 2019. 2019. you also have a strong balance sheets, strong free cash flow, which they don't often get credit for, whatsapp has a billion plus users and they haven't even scratched the surface in terms of monetizing those assets. so you are going to get there -- facebook stock is worth mainly because of estimates coming in significantly above what analysts like me have been projecting,

facebook would have to do some triangulation between whatsapp, facebook, instagram and messenger to come information to target people in whatsapp. so very complicated. with the hacking a particular, we are talking about something that they don't have the keys to de-encrypt. all they can say is there was a video. whatsapp has a default setting where videos get auto downloaded before people start looking at them. it is meant to improve the experience and get it much more quickly viewable. especially because whatsapp is used in so many places that have low connectivity. that could have made it more dangerous on jeff bezos's phone to get a piece of material with malware in it. taylor: in a few days after this incident and in your conversations with facebook, have they said anything about their changing role in how they would look at things differently from that auto download? sarah: they did speak actually in the fall to the threat with the mp4 files. they have spoken about the threat from one security group on whatsapp. with this particular hacking, they have not weighed in. but nicola, in

in an internal memo, facebook vice president andrew bosworth wrote -- "so was facebook responsible for donald trump getting elected? i think the answer is yes." bosworth, who was a backer of hillary clinton in 2016, went on to write that the company should not change its p policies in an effort to hurt trump's reelection chances. bosworth credited trump for running "the single best digital ad campaign i've ever seen from any advertiser." in his memo, bosworth referenced the role of the shadowy data firm cambridge analytica butut downplayed its signinificance. however, a new netflix documentary called "the great hack" argues cambridge analytica has played a significant role in the u.s. election and elections across the globe. cambridge analytica was ununded by the rig-w-wing llioionae bert mercer. trump's s form advdvis steveve bannon of breitbart ne w was o of the company's kestratetests and clmsms to ve namedhe coany. caridge analytica harvested sosome 8milllliofacebobo profiles without thesesers' knledgdge consese and used the data to ayay vots duduri th202016 cpaigign. the storofof

what is facebook so concerned about you know content. well it's good to know there's at least one platform out here that supports free speech i think facebook took down my video basically because it exposes what the u.s. government does not want americans to see namely that the iranian general costs and so the money was a top anti isis general and that's something that used to be reported as i showed in my video back in 20142015 during the peak against the fight against isis but when trump assassinated so the money suddenly that fact that noncontroversial fact was not to be found anywhere and so basically my video showed how us media tailors its line according to the precepts of the united states government and that was deemed apparently a threat they said it violated community standards and therefore was unpublished which is some orwellian double speak term unpublished that simply just means censorship that's what we're dealing with here and were you surprised when that happened oh did you expect it. i i certainly didn't expect it to ha

that the now defunct political consulting firm cambridge analytical stolen the data of millions of facebook users that data was used to create psychological profiles target us swing voters and then attempt to manipulate them for then presidential candidate donald trump during the 2016 election the data breach scandal resulted in the closure of cambridge analytical and facebook paying a $5000000000.00 penalty to the u.s. federal trade commission that scandal was also the subject of the 29000 documentary the great hack is a clip from the film which explores the dark side a social media. these digital traces of ourselves are being injured really and down during our industry. we are now commodities. but we were so in. year 3 conduct. that no one bothered to read terms. so what's changed with data privacy since the cambridge and i took a scandal with us to talk about this switzerland brittany kaiser co-founder of your data she was formerly the business development director of the kind but analytical and has written a book about her experiences as cohen targeted the cambridge analytical whistlebl

what facebook is doing is just not defensible.ve been talking about politics but a lot of the deepfakes or doctored videos impact brands. we just listened on bloomberg to all the efforts going on with uber and autonomous vehicles. the trust that is going to be needed by the public to go in these autonomous cars is going to be a lot more than we have right now. , they don't trust ai don't trust av, and they certainly don't trust facebook. and itng has to happen will pbably be a conversation of new startups, new ai startups, plus human intelligence, probably working for brands which are most impacted. imagine if there is a fake video of michael bloomberg. there are plenty of deepfakes or kurty doctored video like just said, with nancy pelosi, where you can slow someone down just a little bit and created a lot of damage. a tesla exploding in the shanghai garage got the tesla stock to drop 3% last april. one can expect to see more of of high brandeos as well as brands their business leaders and celebrity endorsers. there has been a lo

it's because of the huge social media company in our backyard, facebook, facebook is facilitating bad actors putting out disinformation, putting out divisiveness that can jeopardize our election. >> facebook makes the poegs position clear, people should be ale to hear from those who wish to lead them, warts and all, and that what they say should be scrutinized and debates in public. the chair of the republican party says he doesn't want facebook employees determining what voters will see in ads. these activists can not be trusted to take an even handed approach in judging the accuracy of political hyperbole. it's not just political ads in the cross hairs. so are videos such as the ones as nancy pelosi is slurring her words. a video that was ma naplated. >> the public is speaking up and we're going to keep the pressure on until they do something. >> facebook is going to empower the users to see fewer political ads b ut that feature won't be available until later this summer. it also plans to rollout new controls how advertisers can target facebook users. but that will be effective late

there is shares of facebook dromg sharply after hours. the stock weighed down by growth concerns the cfo just addressed it on the call listen. >> we expect our year over year total revenue growth rate in q1 to decelerate by low single digit percentage point as compared to q4 growth rate factors driving in deceleration include the maturity of business and global impact of privacy regulation and while which experienced some headwinds from the impact today but the majority of it lies in front of us. >> well lets get reaction from one of facebook's first investors, roger mcnamee cofounder of elevation person. >> back with the team here. >> just from hearing what they said on the call, that can't make you that optimistic about this thing turning around. >> if you look at it as an investor which is one of the hats i wear, i'm not a trader. unlike you guys my time horizon is longer. this is an inexpensive stock for what you get but i believe they face structural problems they can't fix not just in the u.s. in europe, asia, the pressure to regula

remember those facebook places that we used to form personality models for all voters in the us. the truth is we didn't target every american voter and you believe. the bulk of our resources went into targeting those whose minds we thought we could change. we called them and i'm persuadable zz. and they're everywhere in the country but to persuade polls that matter are the ones in swing states like michigan wisconsin pennsylvania and florida. now each of these states were broken down by precinct. so you can see there are 22000 persuadable voters in this precinct. and if we targeted another persuadable people on the right precincts in those states would turn red instead of blue. so that's how they did it that's how it's done but jessica you're not persuaded by the persuadable. what a lot of the like you all the experimental research in political science tells us is that. it's much easier to mobilize people so people who have already been persuaded either to get the them to go out on election day to go vote or even to donate more money to the people they already like. that that is

a lot of regulation is coming into had companies like facebook. in extra previously had begun to slow, the costs would slow. actually the costs and expenses for the last quarter were 34%. so that is what really hit shares. but what really hit shares. but what we have to really say is even though shares were down 7.296 even though shares were down 7.2% on the back of this news, over the last year they have been up 50%. in terms of those soaring costs for policing itself, that is to prevent regulation, isn't it? that's facebook showing they are serious about countering misinformation, about privacy, how david is used, etc, etc. yes, so this is self—regulation, if you like. that's interesting in this context because there is a lot more better from the context because there is a lot more betterfrom the eu, for insta nce more betterfrom the eu, for instance about regulation. and companies such as facebook want to show they can self believes this. but their investment in this. but their investment in this has slowed, —— self believes this —— self—police

it's an interpretation the facebook i'm making you also see the fact that facebook has decided not to take political advertising whereas twitter of decided that they feel it is appropriate to bundle for political advertising it is a very much an interpretation that each one of these platforms take in terms of their responsibilities the regulations and the implications for sanctions do you think what we're seeing now is a. concerted effort by the u.s. to silence the voices of anyone who shows support for iran. obviously there is a bias on the u.s. side for their perspective but i think east social media platforms are in a very difficult position here i think it's important that facebook and others explain that what they're doing the greater transparency that they can provide in the editorial approach in what they're taking down why they're taking it down i think the more acceptable people will find it it's where there's a lack of transparency that you tend to have enormous frustration and facebook has declined to fact check political ads and has been accused of anti conservative bias i

seems to me that facebook is hanging in there, the facebook app and getting strength from the other apps do you read it >> it's face nating that the core facebook app is seeing pretty good growth but frankly, advertising let's think about it, advertising on instagram just started several years ago. stories, a brand new -- not brand new, three--year-old product in terms of monetization is just now getting to a level where you have scale in terms of 4 million users and whatsapp and messenger perspective, still very early days of monetization. you put all that together, the core facebook app is doing well is fascinating going back to prior comments that opportunity with messenger, whatsapp, instagram. >> rob, we heard the cfo say a lot of the issues pressuring margins are not really through i thought that maybe perhaps wall street was thinking that they've taken a hit. been this managed ramp in expenses, profit margins last quarter went down to 42% from 46% the year earlier where do you think they settle out at >> yeah. look, i think the company has guided longer term to call mid 30% operat

we'll do the same for facebook we have the good, the bad and really ugly of facebook in the last twoears with the surprising outcome >>> december orders for nondefense capital goods fell 6.5% from year ago levels. excludeing aircraft, that figure was down .9% >>> let's talk about facebook, shall we social giant set to report earnings after the bell tonight. the stock near all-time highs. this march will mark the two-year anniversary of the company's cambridge analytical scandal. the scandal exposed facebook for the vulnerabilities to protect your data. it was the first blow in what became a very rough two years. let's walk through it. in april of 2018, facebook said it was really 87 million people that were exposed. that led congress to demand mark zuckerberg testify and he did. very grueling two days testimony cost that stock and investors another 5% another scandal in june with the phone device makers accessing even more data fast forward one month and the stock tanks 19% because earnings growth slowed down believe it or not, only got worse from there the exodus began the ftc fined

facebook messenger.re is something around using that same technology power ads inside whatsapp. i have no idea, but it's an interesting theory that perhaps bringing all the technology together for these different platforms might be part of the issue. taylor: i think of whatsapp on the retail side. there is a business plan to this. how does that fold into facebook's strategy? kurt: right now, facebook is 99% advertising. which is why facebook has talked about putting ads inside of whatsapp. when you look at what they might be able to do outside of ads, what is exciting if you are a facebook investor is diversifying their business a little bit. saying we are not 100% reliant on the ad industry, but we can sell a more enterprise product to businesses, and if that works, we have messenger that also has 1.5 billion users. maybe we can figure out a business model that works for both. taylor: we heard from speaker of the house nancy pelosi today. in says facebook is shameful allowing this information. .- allowi
