indiana attorney general told me he is investigating big tech companies like apple, amazon, facebook, google and twitterlimiting conservative content. the company did not respond to fox news's request for comment, but he pointed to the investigation in indiana saying it is evident that there is a bias by some tech companies towards the left and asked, quote, why would you want to allow the same individuals to have control over the process of elections? cook says he thinks the us may be having the wrong conversations about voting rights, officials should be focusing on ways to use new technology in the process. lawrence: thanks. jillian: san francisco highschooler stunned the board of education during the zoom meeting. watch this. >> i am here to honestly ask the board of education to pull it together. this feels like a runaway train. it is falling apart. jillian: calling on the boards get their act together amid infighting over renaming 44 schools which the board said were linked to racism was the education board voted to suspend its renaming plan. students and parents, retired navy seal joined us in th

twitter. ed ludlow, bloomberg news, san francisco. annmarie: big tech bulls through the pandemic. interesting amazon and google and facebooko well with advertising, but not twitter. very quickly, we are seeing exceptionally strong growth in earnings. will it last? yves: i think we are seeing the impact of the recession that was in may. a recession that happened by decree when we moved to lockdowns. that has distorted macro data. above and beyond, the earnings power of the s&p 500 has been very strong. this is reflecting that. all the indicators confirm it will be very small. annmarie: i'm annmarie: 6:30 a.m. in the city of london. this is daybreak europe and here is what you need to know. china's crackdown on big tech widens as regulators tighten the screws on tencent and jd.com. global coronavirus cases top $150 million -- 150 million. business is booming. amazon shares pop in extended trade as first quarter revenue surges. good morning to you. data crossing the terminal. the estimate was for no growth. the year on year we are coming in 1.5%. the survey was for 1%. consumer spending though a little later for march month o

it seems twitter's ad model does not have the same residence with advertising buyers that facebook and google saw. shery: you can turn to your bloomberg for more on those amazon and twitter earnings. tliv for an analysis. alex is the portfolio manager and cio of the wisdom tree leaders. in the meantime, let's get more on the broader markets with the head of research and strategy at global x etf. great to have you with us. it seems right now when we look at our earnings that if during the pandemic it was indiscriminate love for all these tech giants, markets have become more discerning. how are you differentiating between them? >> what we are seeing from our perspective is a lot of these tech themes people would thought putter out -- people thought would putter out, have continued a lot of the momentum. the microsoft sedo said they thought they would see a deceleration in the adoption of digital technologies. we are continuing to see an acceleration. there are a lot of consumer dollars that need to be spent. a lot of that money is being filtered toward cloud-based technologies, streaming and video games, buying stuff online. anything we can do digitally c

twitter and demoted by facebook. and how parler was forced off the internet entirely by apple, google, and amazon. ? even if we concede there could be a trouble standard. isn't it these private company's right to take whatever view they want. >> sure, they can. they just shouldn't get section 230 immunity from the federal government. >> reporter: section 230 is the law that gave internet companies broad power to choose what the take down while shielding this emfrom liability for what they keep up. >> they should change section 230. >> reporter: it is what this lawyer wanted to talk about, too. unlike davis, her concern is the lack of legal consequences for what platforms leave up. >> i am not talking about being called a b word on twitter. i am talking about extreme stalking or revenge porn or child sexual abuse material. those victims need to be able to get justice. right now with section 230 our court's doors are closed to those people. >> reporter: the law blamed for so must have, but also credited with creating the modern internet, was real just a response to a strange court case. in 1995, an in

lawmakers have pledged to he reject any donations from big tech companies including facebook, google, amazon, apple, twitteryou are saying you don't want any donations from these companies. why? >> well, what they're doing is they're controlling the narrative. they're preventing actually conservatives from having open dialogue. look, they kicked the former president off. they took project veritas off for showing a video they that demonstrated how biased cnn is. this is the kind of censorship you saw in authoritarian countries from media outlets that were in bed with those authoritarian governments. we don't want that and we want the to show that all of our colleagues should be saying, look, enough is enough. you need to be honest brokers. they're not being honest brokers and we need to call them out on that. maria: are you going to make a change? are you going to vote to take away section 230? >> i -- [ indiscernible ]. maria: congressman, we lost the last thing you were saying but we so appreciate you joining us. i think you said you support that. congressman andy biggs, please come back soon, sir. thank y

why is twitter not resonating with advertisers in the way facebook and google are? we will find out. emily: thank you so much. we are sticking with amazon. let's take a deeper dive. let's bring in long time amazon veteran, melissa. huge numbers. lots of momentum. i wonder if this is the last quarter they will have that boost. what happens in the next quarter? melissa: this, i don't know if it is the last golden quarter, but starting q2, that will get harder. a very fine line item in this report, they mentioned prime day would be in q2 this year. that is an interesting data point. they are able to pull forward demand to q2 to help them, similar to what they did before. emily: that is interesting, moving prime day to june. do they need prime day to meet those numbers? melissa: absolutely. they are looking at comps year over year, and the only way to drive that demand is to move that event, like they did last year for q4. usually it is in the middle of summer, a dead month, so that's why they did that, last year, they moved it from july to october to move forward demand. they are using prime day to drive demand. that is impressive. emily:

biden that was blocked by twitter and demoted by facebook and how the right-wing-friendly social network parlor was forced off the internet entirely by apple, google, and amazon if we concede, there could be a political double standard, isn't it these private companies' right to take whatever view they want? >> sure. i mean, they can, they just shouldn't get section 230 immunity from the federal government. >> reporter: section 230 is the law that gave internet companies broad power to choose what to take down while shielding them from liability for what they keep up. >> they should change the section 230 -- >> reporter: it's what lawyer carrie goldberg wanted to talk about, too. but unlike davis, her concern is the lack of legal consequences for what platforms leave up. >> i'm not talking about being called the "b" word on twitter. i'm talking about extreme stalking or revenge porn, those victims need to be able to get justice. with seconds 230, our courts' doors are closed to those people. >> reporter: the law blamed for so much but also credited with creating the modern internet was really just a response to a strange court case. in 1995, an investment com

situation will take out a facebook or twitter at least damage them but we saw what happened when parlor was gaining steam in terms of being a competitor. all those companies amazon and googlewas before. this is the game being played now tilted very much in favor of the existing big tech companies who won't be giving up any power any time soon and they will operate the way they want to. it's a shame. >> trace: there are no consequences for them so far. the question i would have is what's their reasoning here? does the reasoning seem to you like it is rational and well thought out for blocking these stories? >> absolutely not, trace. we see the censorship of the black lives matter story which we discussed is a legitimate story. it seems like they try to cater who what and who they think their audience is. who they think or what they think their audience wants to see and what it doesn't see. again i would imagine then you look at all the donations that went to the biden campaign in 2020 from silicon valley overwhelmingly from the facebooks and twieters and googles and world and some of those folks working for the biden administration. you can follow the money in this regard a

so google can go jump in a lake if they have a problem with him along with amazon, facebook and twitterrything else. ainsley: well, these private conditions are entitled to do whatever they want to do each if we don't like it. it's the cancel culture. you are denying someone the first amendment right to free fm of speech. they are private companies. i do hope conservatives start their own social media platforms so that conservatives do have a voice because i know so many people. we have talked and interviewed so many conservatives that say they took my tweet down. they canceled me. they took me off permanently. brian: why is lebron not canceled for calling out a cop. ainsley: twitter has been silent and so has most of his sponsors and the league. lawrence: president trump tonight on hannity at 9:00 p.m. eastern we will see more of that interview. brian: just moments ago spacex launched astronauts two americans to the international space station. let's watch. >> 3, 2, 1. 0. ignition, and liftoff. godspeed crew two. >> copy one alpha. ainsley: that's amazing four veteran astronauts are st

do amazon and twitter in their own separate ways have enough exposure and expertise in that space yet to see the same sort of outperformance that we saw with google and facebook is a qualified yes. either of them have the scale that google or facebook have and as broad of an economic exposure as those two companies and that's partly what's powering their results. twitter is your pure play off of advertising revenue. the trick for twitter is what's the outlook like it spiked during the covid quarters and now as you go into tough comps, the question investors will have, is that going to trail off like it did with pinterest or are you going to get the snap outlook and get more robust user growth. our guess is that it's more likely to have a pinterest than a snap outlook. >> we've seen apple tail off during the session and now down week to date does facebook deserve its 10% or so gains this week, 8% gains darrelle afternoon to those other companies, because all of them have beaten earnings estimates? >> well, the advantage that you have is a facebook shareholder who said the stock was trading pretty much at its average for valuation. what's very clear, especially

google's earnings be, now on facebook i suspect you'll see a similar thing with amazon. cloud business will be healthy of course, the other one that's going to be happening next week is twittert to be a great q1 around the board the thing to watch, you've mentioned it already this conversation, one, what is the impact of apple's idfa abstracting feature on all of these. i actually think it might not be as bad as everyone was forecasting. facebook has been demonizing apple on all of these calls for many quarters. yesterday sheryl sandberg was, yeah, we'll plug their api into our api and it will be fine. i think it might not be as bad as everybody was freaking out over you mentioned is it possible you can continue growth off of such high comps from last year? facebook is going to prove that it is possible i think a lot of these pandemic behaviors are here to stay, there's no reason to think they can't continue to shine. >> the thing that's really important for everyone watching to think about is no consumer wants bad ads. people want ads that are actually value add i don't see a whole lot of consumers going i hate the ads on instagram i want them to feel more like tv or radio
