we will start with first, google and facebook leaking into journalism. john, is it a good thing and what can be the consequences in the fallout? >> so google and facebook send if not most of the traffic to news websites like the new york times and wjla and washington post. they play an important role in helping people discover immediamedia. companies very dependant and gives companies like facebook and google, huge market power. and i think it's important that we talk about that and they are not abusing that power and they are using that power wisely to make sure that consumers like you and me continue to have access to quality journalism. >> that's hard to argue with but i think sometimes we need to go overseas to learn our lessons. we don't always learn them here at home. google is billions of dollars. why should americans wake up and understand why? what message are they sending? >> they are worried about how powerful these companies are becoming so let's face it, facebook and google combined have about 70% of the market share of digital advertising an

these bigoted slurs were some of the targeting categories facebook and google's self-service ad platforms offered advertisers. both the ad giants removed these options, facebook changing its targeting process after being contacted by pro publica, google responding to a buzzfeed report. over 2,000 people expressed interest in anti-semitic topics. >> they're essentially an ad company. if there's one thing they should be policing, it would be the things they sell for money. and the fact that they didn't have a review system in place or at least not a particularly good one is surprising. >> reporter: facebook removed those categories and changed its policies, issuing a statement including, quote, we prohibit advertisers from discriminating people based on religion and other attributes. keeping our community safe is critical to our mission. >> i don't think this was a question of bad intent. i think it is one where there is oversight issues. i think it's absolutely the case that they can apply some technology to this, but in the interim they'll have to throw human bodies at this and really snu

don't think there is a third platform out there which has the scale to be able to build what google and facebookave built. so i think we are going to see more and more concentration at google and facebook in the advertising space. and i think that is not going away soon. emily: so, would you say it is a duopoly, and is that ok? nikesh: it's a duopoly, yes, for now. there are many other players who are relevant in the advertising space, both off-line and online, whether it's going to be snapchat or twitter or pinterest in the future, or some of the traditional players who are actually doing a phenomenal job of transitioning from off-line to online. so i think there will be many players in the space, yes. for the forseeable future, will google and facebook be the largest players? yes. emily: do you think there will ever be a third player, a third company, that takes a third of that pie? nikesh: i think it's going to be hard. but i do think there will be a collection of companies, which, amongst themselves, might command as much advertising share as google or facebook does, but it won't be one thir

you wrote an op-ed in usa today about how facebook and google are anti-consumer. ling nicotine, , alcohol, heroin, facebook provide short-term happiness with serious negative consequences in the long term. users fail to recognize the warning signs of addiction until it is too late. there are only 24 hours in a day and tech companies are making a play for all of them. you think apple is the only company that can change the tide? roger: i do. and i think the reason why apple is uniquely positioned is that their business model is based on selling devices, not occupying your attention. the issue is not that facebook and google are managed by bad people. they are not. they are managed by good people. the issue is the business model. 10 years ago, we lived in a world of information security where being a studio executive or running atudio network were great businesses. we shifted from information to attention scarcity. people were on their phones from the moment they woke up until the moment they went to sleep. there was so much more time available that the battle shifte

just zooming in on google and facebook and microsoft and what can be done online, that doesn't feel toere the real threat is. the real threat feels as though it is out there on the streets now. i found this take on the entire story a bit of a side issue today. i sense you are agreeing with that? yes. it is clearly the place where people are being radicalised, is online, more than perhaps it was a decade ago, when it was less easy to make such instantaneous connections with people, but it is also through to see and research beers are tight that people also tend, if they are radicalised, the needs a personal connection as well. it is notjust you tube videos, you need a personal connection in order to make that step. web giants, there might be something more they can do, i do not think it will solve the problem. at the moment somebody else knows what is about to happen, the greater chance that is of its being stopped. the front page of the telegraph. this is not talking about the bomb attack although there is reference to it on the front page but the main splash is what borisjohnson has b

in the us, experts predict that the two dominant players — facebook and google — account for 99% of alledia. more than half of people now use platforms such as facebook and twitter as a dedicated source of news. situation publishing is one veteran of the industry which is weathering the storm. it's been providing technology—based news since before the dotcom bubble. the company owns the technology website the register, which attracts more than 5 million unique visits every month. linus birtles, co—founder and owner of situation publishing, owners of the register, joins us now. welcome, linus, good to have you here. your first welcome, linus, good to have you here. yourfirstjob was welcome, linus, good to have you here. your firstjob was any fishmongers in liverpool. that is correct. just explain how you went from there to where you are now! correct. just explain how you went from there to where you are nomm isa from there to where you are nomm is a long story, and it involved quite a bit of hard work and quite a lot of luck as well. i can talk you through it... horrible shift under stro

message out there about in particular these platform anomalies which you know are essentially facebook google and amazon and how they pose a how they pose a threat to not just you know competitive practices within the business is that they dominate but within the larger political context and so barry and his team socially being forced out of this think tank because they annoyed google shows you that google is at this point very much using its money and power to stifle ideas that could spread its platform anomaly and once you have. that you start to get into a point where you know who can actually go up against google if this you know dominates so much of how you interact with its search where it's you tube which they own is how we get our videos most people buy watch this on you tube for example and and they're and they're cracking down on that too so it's google dominated so much of our lives and they're now and they have a narrative that they want to push and they're economically threatening the livelihood of people who go against them you've got a serious problem with democracy the stunt k

corporations late last week finance ministers called for an emergency tax on companies like facebook and google they accused them of basing operations and low tax countries giving them an unfair advantage shares in both facebook and google fell on wall street as the weeks trading began and monitoring them for us is our financial correspondent on wall street dance called so yes hi good to see you know yes we've seen fines imposed by european countries in the last couple of months at least on facebook but they haven't really affected the company do you think they should be worried now. well so far it looks like those companies are not too concerned yet specially if you look at the the european union to make such changes all of the countries would need to agree and we already heard some objections from company is from countries like ireland luxembourg cyprus the czech republic or denmark so it's going to be a long shot but still there is some talk about a bit tighter regulations also here in the united states on top of those tech companies and they did trade a bit lower here in the monday session

now the bosses of notjust twitter, but google and facebook, are being invited for an open hearing, likelyen hearing, likely to take place in early november. invited for an open hearing, likely to take place in early novemberli guess to take place in early november.” guess one of the pressures on these companies is why they weren't spotted early on patterns in advertising purchases in particular. i think it's taken quite a while to get behind this idea, think back to mark zuckerberg's initial reaction when people started talking about what role facebook played in the election. he described it as crazy at the time. now he's walked back those statements and responded to a tweet from donald trump suggesting he was being criticised from both sides and saw that as a positive sign. there is growing recognition from the firms in silicon valley, not just twitter, we're from the firms in silicon valley, notjust twitter, we're talking about facebook and google, that perhaps russian about whether bots, whether it's buying of advertising, perhaps this was used to try and influence. the question is, i

love to be able to be able to monetize wrath of south of the certain platform if you look at it google facebook their search and they're able their enablers. whether you're selling a product whether you're selling a service or whether it's a specific brand that you're promoting these platforms enable you to promote this and in order to make money off of lawsuits do you ever tail with brands bring in lawsuits against companies like this who say hey these are advertising agreements your stuff just ended up on a very adult web site sorry i think most advertisers don't know or don't care maybe i think they do care i think they just don't know and you'll be surprised i've had clients say hey i have nobody in my ad was placed on this one website and then if you look at the facebook audience network there's some pretty shady websites that are out there so you'll be surprised the reason why they have that is to be able to increase impressions why increase impressions that increases what the towards the end user or the client. is a lot of money to be made out there good work i appreciate that there is s

questions about privacy and questions about whether there too big and wield too much power. >> google, facebooke and microsoft are the five big companies that make up big tech. today, they own the market. consider in 2004, google's market share was just 35%. today under parent company that it is 87% in the us. >> i think they are creating some sort of domination of only one source to go to. no one thanks about yahoo but everyone about google. >> he wonders with that market power can compete. >> when google collects all the data on this it gives them a big advantage. when amazon knows our spending patterns and knows where we buy and how much we buy and where our incomes are it gives them an advantage. >> speaking of amazon in 2004 it had a net sales revenue of $6.9 billion. in 2016 it grew to nearly 136 billion. when it comes to mobile social networks facebook and its subsidiary lead the pack. >> we never have the sport. we had a big railroad company or steel company but these are companies that have their tentacles into almost every aspect of our lives. >> as for too big to fail, experts say no

your ads that invading privacy because that's been a big issue right now one thing is that facebook and google they report on how many times your ad has been seen as well as viewed into one linked to your video has been viewed but that's pretty much it now you know if somebody clicks on the video or clicks on a link a method video that goes back to your website you have that within limits but also that you're pretty much depend upon facebook and google telling you what the analytics are right so if you click on it to expedia you get the hotel where they can follow your phone g.p.s. to see if you go to a hotel that's a massive invasion it's been talked about let's talk about impressions versus views versus a click it's a metric but what about auto plays right we see them all the time they're annoying but they pop up and pop up so our advertisers being taken advantage of and are there protections for these brands strangers yes if you think about it facebook's a huge mobile player if you're on your mobile phone. and you just scrolling through your thumbing through you'll see a video although plac

archbishop saying i wish the world was a fairer place, he has actually attacked the tech giants, facebook, google, saying they are too powerful and that is an important emerging theme in political discourse around the world at the moment. in the past prime ministers would be upset by this sort of thing and i remember margaret thatcher getting very upset by whoever the archbishop was at the time for producing similar sort of quotes. actually this unfairness in the economy is something theresa may as talked about when she first came to downing street so let's see what notice she takes. talking about unfairness and pay and money, the bbc is to launch a major review of salaries! five! —— clive... -- clive... we don't need to go any further on this! a major review of salaries. this isn't news, really? we know what happened earlier in the year. careful because your boss, the great tony hall, of course this been a big story over the summer, 96 bbc presenters have been named as earning more than £150,000. the majority of calls were men which led to some concern. white men. a lot of the country is thinkin

facebook is not really a social network, it's a data company in disguise google is not really a search business, it's a data company in disguise and amazon is this amazing business in that it is modeling consumption. it is trying to give every human on earth and every business on earth everything they need and so in that context, it's basically in my opinion a proxy for global consumption it's a proxy for gdp as a result, it's probably the most unconstrained market that it's operating in. whereas ultimately facebook and google are selling ads so if i had to pick one desert island stock, it's that. >> is there any risk that you can see to the story is it regulatory >> in fact i would say the regulatory overhang is much higher in the case of facebook and google than it is for amazon and the reason is ultimately amazon is, again, a microscopic portion of global consumption today. ultimately i think it has more room before it invites regulatory overview. on the other hand, facebook and google effectively are surveillance states and they have so much personal/private information about so ma

talk on capitol hill about how there needs to be more government regulation of that duopoly facebook and googleally when it comes to political ad spending. do you think that there needs to be more regulation, will we see more regulation? >> i think -- i think facebook and google, we're working with both those organizations to make sure that there's proper screening, and obviously, there's work to be done. if it's not controlled, the tendency is to normalize the internet just like tv became normalized and people had regulation so i think the googles and the facebooks if they don't get their act together, i think the reaction from the legislators will be, in fact, to put in some regulation my personal view is we can solve this working together. >> a year ago we were here at ad week and that was when facebook revealed mismeasurement issues since then, google, youtube struggled with some brand issues, brand safety issues. there was a small advertiser boycott of youtube do you think both of those companies are doing enough to manage those issues? and the concerns of you and your clients? >> well, yo

i find people are more talking about amazon's huge or googles huge and facebook is huge and the size seems to concern them. especially in the technology industry, it is you and me making decisions every day, several times a day that makes those companies as large as they are. so it's hard to fathom a scenario where you could tell customers i'd really like to buy the item from amazon but were to force you to go someplace else or to tell some customer when they enter google to do a search that we redirect them someplace else. that doesn't make customers better off. i think what's important to understand, these types of companies are as large as they are because of the choices customers make. >> mark jamison, isn't broadband, i'd love to hear your definition of what broadband is today. isn't it as important as electricity or as a telephone or water in a sense? >> that's up to customers for the definition of broadband, i don't have one pair that's for customers to decide. that's something i have written about. for a lot of people, they think about should broadband be 25 megabytes or shou

. >> apple, amazon, facebook, google, just among the c.e.o.s weighing in so far in favor of keeping daca>> trevor: even the big tech companies are strongly against sending these kids back to their birth countries. i'm telling you this, if amazon says you can't return something, then you know you're doing something wrong. ( cheers and applause ) you know you're doing something wrong. amazon is always cool with returns. i've returned half-eaten edible panties, people. ( laughter ) don't judge me. you don't know how much you're going to need. you eat and then you're like, no, i'm tired now. then you fall asleep wearing them and then you send them back. anyway, i sent them back. ( laughter ) of course, because killing daca is so unpopular, trump doesn't want to take the blame himself. it's what trump does which means in classic trump fashion he's handing it off to someone else. >> the president is punting the fate of hundreds of thousands of dreamers to congress. >> i have a great heart for the folks we're talking about, a great love for them and people think in terms of children but they're

robert mueller, this as house intelligence ranking member adam schiff is calling for not just facebook, but googlewitter to testify to hand over new information. >> we are requesting more information from facebook and have received some information, but there are a lot of unanswered questions frankly i'm distressed that it's taken this long to be informed that the russians had paid for at least $100,000 in ads to try to influence our electoral process. >> of course, that follows revelations last week that the social network allowed ads to target people that expressed antis anti-semitic interests do you think overall it's being over or under characterized? >> well, i have a lot of unanswered questions from congress i think that's not a good thing for facebook to hear from them obviously, they can pull, you know, executives from facebook in to talk about it, also twitter and google and others, but facebook seems to be the one that's getting the most attention because it's the most important social network, and it's the place where people get their news, where this activity seems to have happened, an

great voices out there you and i have both both been basically attacked sidelined on you tube facebook google they've all begun since the election really of what didn't really start before that. they've suppressed us in a lot of ways demonisation just starting the algorithm facebook now has their their fact checkers that are news organizations such as a.b.c. news and it's like a.b.c. news is the war machine they've to monetize so the only places you can really find the truth about war has been on you tube people like me and as soon as you put anything in a title or a tag that has anything to do with terrorism or isis or syria or war or the petrodollar they will demonic ties it so that it's discouraging you from to because you don't make money off it you've invested money in putting this video together and be monetized as a way of flagging it is there's a problem with this video so it's also not going to be shown as men. right so it's not just a money thing right so then so it suppresses the circulation of your video also it sets off an algorithm to do closer look at more of your videos and to

top of the agenda are plans for a shake—up of the way huge tech firms, the likes of google, facebook, amazon, pay taxes. the giants of the so—called ‘digital economy‘ have faced criticism in europe forfailing to pay what some see as their fair share of tax. so what's being proposed? well, the plan is to make the companies pay tax wherever in the eu they make money, notjust where their headquarters are, or where they are based for tax purposes. at the moment, many have their european headquarters in low—tax countries such as ireland and luxembourg, earnings from across the region are channelled there to minimise tax. they have other systems to avoid tax, too. a report by eu lawmakers claims that between 2013 and 2015, european union states lost 5.4 billion euros, that's $6.4 billion, in tax revenues from google and facebook alone. the european commission is threatening to take ireland to court for failing to collect 13 billion euros in back—taxes from apple. ireland claims it hasn't broken any european or irish law. meanwhile, amazon, which has its eu tax residence in luxembourg, paid

should facebook political advertisements be regulated, facebook, google, twitter, other social media atforms? line for republicans, good morning. to call inust wanted and make a statement. the speaker there was talking about donations made to facebook. it is actually $150,000, and those were only the advertisements paid for in russian currency. anyone that listens to your program knows that people have been affected by the lies that are being told. these people call it all the time repeating exactly what they heard that are lies. host: on the first part of your question, you think this is just the tip of the iceberg? there will be a whole a more than 3000 advertisements? caller: yes. absolutely. do you think facebook is going to turn over everything the first time around? they are going to fight this for years. we will not know for years how many as were placed on -- ads were placed on facebook. host: what do you think should happen? should it go through the federal election commission? should that spend their scope into all these other areas? caller: yes. it has to be. we should not

intel committee members to talk about the company's role in the election in '16 executives from facebook, google, and twitter have been asked to testify publicly before congress on november 1st, as well and just last night mark zuckerberg responded to the president's claims saying he was always antitrump in a facebook post he says trump says facebook is again him, liberals say we helpedtrump. both sides are upset about ias and content they don't like. that's what running a platform for all ideas look like. after the election i made a comment i thought the idea information on facebook changed the outcome of the election crazy, calling that crazy was dismissive and i regret it so, ed, how does is that set up what he's likely to say to lawmakers later on >> that's the thing, are we sure he's the one to testify? he's avoided, there was a shareholder class lawsuit they settled, he was supposed to appear in court. he doesn't like talking to people on other people's terms you notice he does his own little state of facebook address through his own account, so that's a big question. in terms of what he's

and facebook -- stop google and facebook from destroying journalism. and so there is no doubt that the power that these platforms have is different in character from the one -- from the power that say the three networks had. because if you look at the affect that they're having on the revenue sources for -- for journalists, it's a -- it's a completely different world than one where you had this sort of oligopoly of the broadcast networks and the like. it's a different kind of monopoly though, right, it's a different type of power, and where there's going to a whole session here at aspen later today about whether google and facebook are too powerful. so i commend that to you. but we have this sort of bizarre situation, right, where you have this concentrated power among the platforms, and you have this fragmented media environment at the same time. so you have more information at your disposal, information and disinformation, than we've ever had before, and yet the power of any individual platform, you know, is diminished except for just a select few li
