max: facebook -- it is easy to forget this, but facebook is way, way, way bigger than tiktok. not know exactly how much money tiktok is making, but independent estimates put it at $4 billion in revenue in 2021. and facebook, you know, is something like over $100 billion. they are making eight times tiktok's revenue and profit for the year. now tiktok could -- and there is a lot of chatter about this, tiktok could turn on the cash machine and make money, but they have not done that yet. and there's no reason to think that they will be any better at monetizing than mark zuckerberg it is because what facebook has built is this kind of incredible cash machine for turning online intention into revenue. and he has, it's been well-documented, basically a monopoly on social media advertising. in tiktok is certainly eating into that, but really, it's a long way away from eating mark zuckerberg's launch. emily: that said, tiktok doesn't seem to be way, way, way winning the attention more -- war was facebook or is that also a misperception? max: i think that's absolutely true but it's ea

seven in 10 american adults are on facebook. half of those people go to the site multiple times a day. 40% of them see it as a major source of news. the scale between only one quarter of americans claim to be on twitter and i think it is smaller than that. on twitter, 90% of the tweets are from 10% of the people. we spent all the time on twitter and think about it and worry about it. it is an important platform for a specific conversation among active people, but facebook is by far the most important. >> you talk about the decision not to fact-check politicians as a watershed moment. do you think they will fact-check politicians? >> put it in perspective. when mark zuckerberg went to give his big speech about how facebook was going to stand for free speech and the first amendment and they would not fact-check politicians. i hate to say this but first amendment and facebook have nothing to do with each other. it is not about your right to be on a specific social media platform. even then, do you really want a big tech company to

the reason facebook says it did nothing wrong. this is tropical depression streaming live on roku, amazon fire, apple tv, and online. good wednesday morning waking up with "today in the bay." i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia is off. we'll get a look at drive times and gas prices but first a look at the forecast. >> good morning! more kids headed back to school today. >> ahh. >> they're still sleeping right now. a live look san jose, it's mostly clear, temperatures in the low 60s and it is a slightly milder start and as we head into the rest of the morning we stay in the 60s and clouds rolling in with sunshine for the rest of the day, slightly warm are with a high of 79 degrees in san jose, 88 in san martin and 84 degrees in martinez. santa rosa reaching the low 80s and in some spots, it will start to heat up as we head closer to the weekend. we'll talk about that in a few minutes. mike has a look at the drive for early morning commuters. >> overall the south bay silicon valley as you expect is light tra

with facebook about the private chat rooms. maybe not so private, it has led to a mom and daughter chatting about abortion. there is nbc bay area cheryl hurd . >> reporter: you might have seen me hashtag on your twitter feed, delete facebook. this twitter user saying every woman should delete facebook right now. or this, you have no privacy. hashtag, delete facebook, it comes after the social giant was served a warrant by nebraska police to hand over direct messages between a mother and daughter. that conversation about taking abortion pills. >> i think the real story is the lack of privacy that people have in online spaces. and if you don't recognize why you be privacy until it's too late, i think the story is an example of that. >> reporter: police got a tip that a 17-year-old girl got help from her mother to take abortion pills. police were investigating if that happened, and if it happened 20 weeks into the pregnancy, or after, under nebraska law, enacted before roe v. wade was over abortion was illegal, 20 weeks after an e

fox's facebook presence is huge. people are sharing theire stuf.van entire streaming platform they are a fox news station. people pay six pay to get esther tucker carlson. no one is monitoring that is very little of that on the left great msnbc we cannot count on msnbc to do it. are my friend alex magnet is going to replace her. they are not the same thing. >> 's art thing but your questions about a q&a soon. what is it look like? the round up all the influences? you make your own tv station that really is an apparatus of the party? their podcast, something it's all of the above it. i don't anyone is investing money in a linear cable network. a lot of it is influencers. it's more progressive media coming. content creators like the organization more perfect union. which creates progressive labor content. a lot of youtube videos, a lot of recordings, a bit aggressively pushing back against starbucks and other companies. a lot of it is spanish language. required a bunch of stations in florida, it's all of the above it. we just need more people saying

day and facebook you take us. you also have thought about how to conduct like an artistic data experiment. we're leaked us enough where we can try and seen that if we could reconstruct an entire person's life, couldn't. i'm just their data. i missed battens abscissa without ever seeing the person owner. as it is meant to be able to try the in hub on to something else, probably it. ready there documentary film shows how the group started out by looking for potential test persons whose data they could anonymously analyze on google. ringback ringback ready about $100.00 people applied in the end the data of an austrian. ringback was selected. oh, it was from the daphne, the group reconstructed the test person's life movie, nodded viennese actress natalie, currently stars as the test person's doppelganger. bringing the data to life in this film where she reenact lease of life. oh, i finally the to meet face to face. hello dee had me done. then she started telling me what kind of a person she ever leave out. i am that

after many years of basically only never posting on facebook and only looking at my friends facebookor something, started to try to work with a collective of progressives to get more people to post more content, it's like a drop in the bucket. half of those people go to the site multiple times a day but it's a major source, that is like the scale between only a quarter of americans, i think it's probably smaller than that and on twitter 90% of the tweets are from these people so they think about it and worry about it and it's an important platform for very specific political conversation but in terms of actual goals, facebook is by far the most important right now. >> you think they will backtrack politicians again? >> to put it in perspective when mark zuckerberg wrote about how facebook would stand for free speech, they were not in fact check politician. i hate to say this but they have nothing to do with each other. but even then, you really want a big tech company to be the one to decide what is true and what isn't especially from politicians? the answerr is maybe not. on the thi

were there facebook friends? and what sir, google search history like? all this data is combined and then compared to that of existing customers. see a user has search for online gambling site before and has installed a font on their device that is also used by online casinos. this could lead to their credit application be rejected even health insurance companies are interested in data like from fitness trackers or exercise and sharing this data, think it you benefits and even a more affordable health insurance offer. digital monitoring could have positive sites. for example. you can receive a bonus for exercising, but there's a fine line between this digital surveillance in china. social scoring systems have been introduced in some regions, algorithms observe and evaluate citizens behavior. if someone smokes to much or plays video games too often, they might not be allowed to buy 1st class train tickets for example. it sounds very much like jobs always big brother in 1984 algorithms play a large role online. facebook taked organ, youtube, our personal d

claimed facebook was censoring the story because of facebooks standard process to reduce the spread of misinformation. whatever that means. that was their initial explanation. it wasn't until late october that mark zuckerberg the ceo of the company publicly mention the fbi his involvement were the first time. he said we relied heavily on the fbi is intelligence and alerts both through public testimony and private briefings they gave us. he testified to that. at the time mark zuckerberg didn't mention anything but the fbi warning facebook about russian propaganda specifically. why didn't he say anything? that is odd. and october 2020 right before the election, weeks before the presidential election, every media outlet in the country and candidate joe biden himself were using the very same line. it's russian misinformation. it's propaganda. and not surprisingly or coincidently, dozens of, quote, former intelligence officials were saying the same thing. we cannot play this enough. here it is. >> when you look at this computer store owner in delaware who allegedly received hunter biden'

, you shouldn't put private information on facebook. >> right.t digital privacy experts have been warning about since the draft of the decision would be overturned. these big tech companies really have sort of no other option other than turning over -- >> they have to comply. >> right. and so i think that people need to be aware of that, their google searches, their location data, their facebook messages, all of those things, they are not private. seems private to us when we're doing it, but unless they are encrypted and the companies can't access them, that stuff can all get turned over to law enforcement. >> is facebook saying anything? >> they say at the time they didn't know that it was about abortion, investigators came to them, they were looking in to the destruction of a stillborn fetus. concerns about people's handling of skeleton remains so facebook handed over the information. but it is sort of a fine line here, right? because someone's stillborn preg nance is i, it is hard to tell whether that is an abortion or not. and it helped their

dan's new book is called natalie the big lie, hot dogs, facebook and the maga media are destroying america this is just one blurb this is from ben natalie the big lie is enlightening at times enraging and always entertaining to the recent history of ourur politics immediate joining on dan pfeiffer's and paralytic screens. read this if you want to know is happening in america politics, why it is happening of what you could do. we're honored toin welcome dan d deray back to harrisburg. please give them a warm harrisburg welcome. >> it's good to be back i know dian well we have not talked about the book because they have been waiting to talk about in front of you. that's start why this book and why now. >> some of you know deray and i were here together sitting in these exact chairs of february 2020. we're back did anything happen? after that book i decided that was going to be myy last book i set that aside and is ready to do other things. after the election happened i was really wrestling with the question of how it was in an election that was close but not much closer than trump's victory

it is going to be up to companies like facebook. facebook has, and said this in the past.ng to be up to them to make sure the requests are not overly broad, that they have the legal framework they are following, that it is not a wild goose chase to try to find something to convict somebody, and that they let users know when their data has been requested. that has been the line from the company. they are not coming out and saying either way whether they would cooperate with authorities on abortion cases. my guess is a lot of the companies will end up having to do that. emily: this brings back the case of the san bernardino shooter back in december of 2016. apple refused to turn over the shooter's iphone. he killed 12 people. how do you compare this to that standoff? sarah: i think we have not seen a lot of tech companies standing up to law enforcement in the time since. they put those parameters around. we don't want our users to -- we don't want a backdoor to all of the messages they ever send. in the tech companies that work on things, apple included, have worked on encry

facebook cooperated with that.t search, they found these messages about the abortion pill and then added those charges. they said we did not know this was about abortion. >> let's look at this statement. court documents were investigating the case of the case of a stubborn baby who was burned and buried. not a decision to have an abortion. the orders have not been lifted. as you say, the statement begs the question, if they believe this did have to do with an abortion, facebook would have done something differently. what are the -- would they have? >> that is why the need to bring us some clarification. i don't think that is what is going to happen. tech companies do tend to comply with the law's days where it is a law or they can operate their and their business comes under risk. i think we will see many cases where it is not even clear in the warrant that they are searching for abortion-related data and it is going to be up to companies like facebook and facebook has come out and said this in the past. it is goin

facebook and its parent company made us that this was not going to be an investigation in abortion. said in a quote, nothing in the valid warrants we received from local law enforcement in early june prior to the supreme court's decision mentioned abortion. the warrants consented charges related to a criminal investigation , and court documents indicate that police at the time were investigating a case of a stillborn baby who was burned and burie d, not a decision to have an abortion, but this case does raise question about how these tech companies will respond to law enforcement requests for data that could lead to the prosecution of people obtaining or offering abortions in other cases in other states. >> a lot disturbing about this case. we will continue to follow this thread because, as he both articulated, the nuances involved here really bear our coverage. thank you so much. >>> up next, kobe bryant's wife is suing the l.a. county for photographs taken of his death, and the first date in court had multiple people breaking down. cnn was inside the courtroom. we will tell you ab

it defies -- we put a request into facebook to see the communications from the fbi to facebook.have a right to see them. we hope they send them to us. keep in mind, in october of 2020, a facebook executive and democratic operative named andy stone, claimed that facebook was blocking the story as part of our standard process to reduce the spread of misinformation. they didn't tell us that the fbi told them it was russian disinformation, which the fbi knew it wasn't. the country's premier civil rights lawyer, founded the center for american liberty. thanks for coming on. this seems like a blockbuster, a shocking story to me. >> it's a shocking story, but it confirms information we already have. i already sued twitter after the election for taking people's speakers down, including my client, and it turned out that he was taken down at the request of the california secretary of state, who was auditioning to become a united states senator in the -- in the biden administration. so we filed a lawsuit, went to court, showed the judge all the evidence of how the government was involved i

what did you say in your facebook post that facebook fact checked?e white house's own website where they attempted to redefine inflation. there is textbook definition, shorthand, but works, describes all recession we've had in the united states over the past century. just sharing that caused facebook to put a fact check notice on my page. >> carley: when fact checkers get it wrong and check something accurate, where does that leave us? i guess that is why you are calling it orwellian. >> it partners up with facebook step nothing and carrying water on behalf of the white house for political reasons, not economic reasons. >> carley: have you complained to facebook? sometimes they say it was labeled misinformation in error, have you had a conversation with the platform? >> i've had nothing in return from them, i did share a screen shot of the post saying sunlight is the most disinfectant here, they are using political talking points in lieu of fact checking, becoming partisan actors here. >> carley: they are. it is unbelievable, it is not the first time

so, she messaged her mother over facebook. but now, those messages she sent are being used against both of them, as they now both face abortion related charges. i'll tell you about this case in just a moment. when we started carvana, they told us selling cars 100% online wouldn't work. but we went to work. building an experience that lets you shop over 17,000 cars from home. creating a coast-to-coast network to deliver your car as soon as tomorrow. recruiting an army of customer advocates to make your experience incredible. and putting you in control of the whole thing, with powerful technology. that's why we've become the nation's fastest growing retailer, because our customers love it. see for yourself at carvana.com a nebraska mother and her now 18 year old daughter are facing multiple charges in a case that involved police obtaining facebook messages between the two women. and one of those messages show, authorities say of an illegal abortion, as well as a plan to hide the remains. cnn's lucy kavanaugh has the latest on th

similarly if the ad appears on facebook. that is not subject to disclosure unless it expressly calls for the election or defeat of a candidate. that's a nonsensical system as more and more of our speech gets to us through the internet. our campaign finance rules need to be updated. and this is what i mean, and i said, i'm not for censorship. what i'm for is calling for voters getting more information and so if voters know that you know that person on facebook who claims to be an african-american voter and is trying to convince me not to vote for hillary clinton because she hasn't done enough for the black community that turns out to be a russian government agent as we saw in 20 16 or to take a case on the other side of the political island 2017 supporters of doug jones who is running as the democratic candidate for senator in alabama not jones himself. he had nothing to do with this but supporters of his targeted ads at moderate republicans telling them that roy moore has republican opponent that he might want to support ban

facebook is .it's a news outlet three weeks before the election and says in effect, don't print this storyee because it might hurt joe bidenn . >> well, tucker, i was actually surprised to hear markt zuckerberg say that because what he related, the fbi tol becad him was exactly the opposite of what my conversations with the yfbi director himself at the time were about. we knew when adam schiff was in october of 2020 talking about hunter biden's laptopan as russian disinformation disi and usinnfg platform as the chairman of the intelligence oec committee to to misleaommittee s knew that about that. we knew that that that simply wasn't true, that it wasn'simptw n disinformation, that there was no intelligence and discussions between my office, the director of nationalth intelligence, the fbi and the attorney general at depa we all agreed, look, we need to. counter this. and i put ou t a statement and was backed up by bothe depae the department of justice ntand fbi that this was not russian disinforma

learning new information how facebook was approached by federal agents concerning its coverage of theunter biden laptop scandal. susan li of fox business reports it appears agents tried to suppress the social media exposure of that story. good evening, susan. >> good evening, bret. so mark zuckerberg says that facebook reduced the sharing and viewing of the hunter biden laptop meaningful amount after the company was warned by national intelligence. >> the fbi, i think, basically came to us, some folks on our team and was like hey, just so you know, like you should be on high alert. we thought that was a lot of russian propaganda in the 2016 election. we have it on notice that basically there is about to be some kind of dump that's similar to that. >> zuckerberg says he still views the fbi as a legitimate institution and unlike twitter which banned the story completely and suspended the "new york post's" account, facebook still allowed limited access to it. >> yeah. i mean, it sucks. you know because, yeah, it turned out after the fact the fact checkers looked into it. no one was able

the distribution on facebook was decreased. basically the ranking news feed was a little bit less, so fewer people saw it than would have otherwise. so it definitely by what percentage? i don't know off the top my head, but it's, it's, it's meaningful. now since then, we've had met the parent company of facebook, come forward and clarify that while they did not, they were not specifically told to suppress the laptop story. they were simply warned about this information. and that seems to have tempered some of the public outrage. but at this point, there are a lot of questions on people's minds. first people wonder does the f b, i have the right to go to private companies and advise them on what stories should be moved to be removed to their asking? does the f b i statement suggests that it actually regularly does this is this the only time they've been advising facebook and other social media companies about suppressing stories? and the 3rd question is, was this done by the f b i with partisan and intentional purposes? were the

dan: they walk into facebook, think wink and nod russian information and facebook takes the cue to censorter biden laptop information. >> mark zuckerberg said the quiet part out loud on joe rogan's podcast. that is election interference. and you know he knew what was going on. he needs to own up to it. zuckerberg admitting to colluding with the federal government shows that facebook isn't a private entity acting alone. it makes it a state actor. never again do i want to hear another member of congress say facebook is a private company. no, they are a state actor suppressing and reduce can the distribution of speech. they need to be treated as such. we protect free speech here and we destroyed the dhs's information board. dan: i'm so glad you brought that up. these are not private actors. there are established court ruling, the government cannot deputize people to do with the government can't do. and unfortunately i'm out of time, but it's an excellent point. zuckerberg's admission about the fbi was made on joe rogan's podcast. before this week many of you probably never heard the word and

as off the monk that came clean about censoring be 100 bite and laptops kind along facebook. on a warning from us, federal agents alleged russian propaganda the f. b. i has provided companies with foreign threat indicators to help them protect their platforms and customers from abuse by foreign malign influence actors the f. b. i will continue to work closely with federal, state, local, and private sector partners to keep the public informed of potential threats. but the f b i cannot ask or direct companies to take action on information received. we have the f, b, i admitting that they flagged companies about possible disinformation and lead up to the 2020 election. and facebook took this advice from the f, b i and started calming through various story, then determining to suppress certain stories and that, that led them to the conclusion that they were going to suppress the hunter. bide laptop story. this is what mark dr. berg said on the joe rogan podcast distribution on facebook was decreased. basically the ranking news feed was a little bit less, so fewer people saw it th

you have this list to facebook. facebook will take it and they will run something called their look-alike feature. they will use the vast data collected about each, of us when they use social media. it's not just when you're are on facebook. it's a tracker that is tracking you. you shop at the store, you belong to this church. a lot can be learned. t they lease information they've collected you signed into the terms of service. they will find people who look like those who the campaign wants to target. we know these messages are targeted as a vulnerable people aand sometimes contain arguably misinformation or disinformation. i believe you can have a privacy law campaigns can target whoever they want social media cannot use the data they've collected from you to find other people and target those people who have not requested or interacted with the campaign. the issue turns on the question of whether the data collection is a kind of first amendment protected activity. first >> scholars are very divided on this questi

and mark zuckerberg says the fbi pressured facebook too . and the democrats called out by dc media for false advertising on their climate bill. what they're saying is so bad it would be "illegal for a private company to do that". and we've got dolly and jenny linns on the hot deal now in california's housing. and california's push to wipe out gas cars and joe the plumber can't afford electric cars or bills either. "the evening edit" starts right now. welcome to the show. a sea of red on wall street. we begin with stocks in a broad selloff today. losses accelerated into the close and the dow plunging a thousand points and federal reserve chair jerome powell warned the fed will act forcefully to contain a 40 year high in inflation. higher interest rates are here to stay. edward lawrence live in jackson hole wyoming with more. good to see you. edward: yeah, liz, it's been very busy and a lot of buzz with what's happened in the markets and it's as plainly as i've ever heard federal reserve chairman jay powell speak, and i've never heard a federa

>> i remember when facebook was the king.a look at the social media use here, back in 2014 to 2015, 71% of teenagers said that they were, in fact, using facebook at least sometimes. check out the 2022 number, down to just 32%, a drop of more than half. we've seen something similar going on with twitter, we've soon a drop from 33% to 23%, the only social media platform that i'm truly active on, maybe a little bit of instagram and tumbler which i never now what it did went from 14% to 5%. facebook which was once the king not really any longer with teenagers. >> what are they using? >> what are they using? look, perhaps not surprisingly they're on youtube, you can make the argument whether or not that's a social media platform though the definition says yes. the big one tiktok. look here. up now from 2022, 67%. that was not even created until after 2014. they are also on instagram which of course is owned by facebook went from 52% to 62% and then you can also say that one, snapchat went from 41% up to 59%. >> what's the problem
