>> both the fcc and ftc or not rolled about doing something on the issue and there was the executive order from president trump asking them to take steps on it but neither agency was particularly enthused about it which i think is probably why they are not going to move forward with anything at the fcc even though they made initial steps finding that they could with a rulemaking. >> host: chris audrey go. >> i would add that from the beginning when the executive order was signed there were cautions about the legality of the fcc taking any real steps to change the controversial law. >> host: so, that said and we will begin with you, chris. will we see anything happening in the upcoming biden administration and the new congress when it comes to section 230? >> i think it would be good for a change to section 230 but i don't think any of the sweeping changes that president trump or even joe biden during the campaign this idea that is likely but there are a few smaller carveouts of the law that some senators have proposed. the urn it act which would create legal liability for online plat

we talked about national security focus of the ftc and i am glad you did. i thought that was really, really important. the question that i put to you is, is the bcs culture both regulatory and encouraging your both encouraging but also regulating things. the national security environment is almost entirely restricted restricted city i grew up in this offense committed we've got big warehouse of wrenches, that is what we do. we tighten things up in the national security world but you are also in an organization that opens things up, loosens things. how should we think about this tension between loosening and encouraging versus tightening and restricting? >> thank you for that question, i've never heard it framed that way. but that is tension, the way i would answer is certainly there areas where the more restrictive mandatory type of regulations for example, we don't want the dollars being overseen by companies and fitness equipment but on the other hand, an important goal for the sec, that forward, more open you so networks is a great example of that very i

>> guest: we have talked about the ftc that much. that's another one where the change in control over the senate is probably going have a big effect. the two possible chairs are either rebecca kelly slaughter who is current commissioner or rocket chopra, also commissioner. before when the republicans were in control people are thought that perhaps the biden team would pick commissioner slaughter because she is there, a lot of the connection. she's to be a staffer to chuck schumer. her term continues for another seven years. i think it lasted maybe 2023 were as rocket chopra term tech expired interconnecting. he stayed to others a replacement but it would macarthur confirmation which was not going to be forthcoming very quickly in a republican-controlled senate. now that the democrats are at control it's much more of a possibility he might choose him to chair the agency. he has been very vocal about some things he thinks the agency should be doing that it hasn't been doing the past few years including coming up with rules of what exac

from the beginning, when an executive order is signed, there is questions about the legality of the ftc taking any real steps to change the law. >> that said, and we will begin with chris, will we see anything happening in the upcoming biden administration and the new congress when it comes to section 230? >> it will be safe to assume there will be some sort of changes. i don't think there will be sweeping changes president trump or joe biden, this idea of the entirety is likely, but there are smaller bouts that senators have proposed. like to earn it act, which would create legal liability platforms. child sexual abuse material saw a lot of bipartisan support. there are opponents to any change of section 230. it seems at this point, they are the minority. >> it is notable that one of biden's closest advisers has actively called for a repeal of section 230. he has been hawkish on this issue. the actions we are going to see from the democratic administration will be different than what we have seen over the last couple of years. democrats are concerned section 230 enables tech companies

even without additional legislation. >> i think the ftc will be really interesting to watch over the next couple of years. the biden-harris administration intends to bring civil rights focus in lens to many different areas. i think the ftc has infant opportunities for review issues, like bias in ai and discriminatory algorithms, things that they have signaled an interest in. i think it might be interesting to see what the ftc can do about some of the emerging technology issues that intersect with civil rights and racial bias. >> chris, you brought up net neutrality with the democrat controlled congress and administration. what is the likelihood of that making a comeback? >> i think there is a solid chance, given the overall popularity of net neutrality in the general public and the comment joe biden has made, or his campaign has made, about supporting the turns of those rules. it is likely. it is something biden presents as a way to push heavily for, extending in olive branch. >> are you talking that it could become a title ii provision again? >> it is feasible. >> what is an issue w

as facebook is tightly into waving these component parts, and one of the remedies suggested by the ftc is that instagram and whatsapp, the chat app they own, be spun off from facebook, because facebook has too much power. facebook has 43 million people using its product, and that gives them enormous control over our data, our democracy, our elections have certainly been affected by facebook's decisions, as well as our reaction to things like the pandemic. i think the regulators are starting to wake up to the fact that this company is incredibly powerful and may be too powerful. host: do you consider instagram to be a publisher? sarah: i think that question, more so than twitter, facebook, instagram, absolutely. they are not just a publisher, they are a curator of a lot of information. i think it is asking from a section 230 perspective, the perspective of this law that says if you are not the publisher of the information, if you are just the user generated content platform, you are not legally liable for it. i think the liability comes with -- it's not just about posting the content. i

georgia, the biggest change is the confirmation process what we will see is a confirmed head of the ftcftc that can go after antitrust concerns we'll also see a confirmed head at the justice department and probably a more aggressive head of the antitrust division. in addition, we could see changes that impact technology, such as an alternative minimum tax of 15% on companies with at least $100 million in profits. all of that is a head wind for tech this year and i think tech is being used as a source of funds in going into other areas such as financials, industrials, as they look at this as a most likely outcome near term is more fiscal support for this market and more support for consumers and potentially an infrastructure bill so i think that is the tech headlines, both as a source of funds and a continued legislative regulatory push against the group. >> one of the questions is will this and could this influence or impact president trump's ability to run again he hasn't announced anything but obviously has left that open for 2024 and which is why we're watching the movement in the re
