in google search, right, google is dominant across the world over 90% share in the digital advertising market, like you're pointing out, facebook and google are more of a duopoly with amazon arguably a third the distinction is amazon does most of their advertising on their own properties where as google and facebook are running advertising across the internet as well as collecting data across the internet for that advertising. and so i think there's a big distinction there between this behavioral advertising which is based on the profiles and the privacy violations and the contextual advertising which is really based just on the page that you're on so i wouldn't take that argument i think there needs to be innovation all across the spectrum and you need to enable 1,000 flowers to bloom and the way to do that is to really open up this market to smaller players, including ourself >> that brings me to my question, gabriel. that is we expect the ceos to give lots of examples of instances in which they are subject to competition by smaller players, but we're not going to hear from the small

melissa: there chair is still small, but eating into google google's share. survey, it was 49% of product searches start on amazon, and 22% start on google. declining,y are amazon is increasing, but still a small percentage, which means there is a lot of opportunity and room. emily: last question, because amazon, obviously some interesting highlights, able to triple grocery orders, but also running out of space. people are ordering so much they don't have a place to put all of it. how does amazon confront that challenge? melissa: that to me was the biggest kind of big challenge to brands and sellers, running out of space is not a good thing. hit,we saw when covid every day was prime day without being able to plan for it, so what that means is brands will have to scramble to have dropship capabilities, hybrid accounts. sellers may not have space for them to ship into, so a lot of brands and sellers will need alternative names to get their products into amazon. also one of the things rand manufactures are doing right now -- brandon manufactures a -- brand manuf

remember google controls youtube.his is exactly why we saw these videos from the internet yesterday and guess what explanation we got from breitbart when they took down our videos? nothing specific, they wouldn't cite a specific piece of misinformation and now all of a sudden google, mark zuckerberg, et cetera, they apparently know more about hydroxychloroquine and the coronavirus than board-certifiedd doctors. >> tucker: and we should say we would rather talk to them and talk about them so we asked representatives from all three of those companies to come on tonight but of course they ducked the invitation. thanks so much. >> thank you, talker. >> tucker: suppositions are uniquely qualified to comment on science and medicine. we used to believe doctors had the right to say what they think about their medical practice, but you just saw the doctors in that video have their views censored, pulled off the internet. is that the best way to conduct science? whether you agree with their conclusions or not, joining a semi, d

while at google i founded hola with my friend. that's the community of latinos at google.we collaborated with other diverse groups to make sure that as i'm creating a role formally in marketing that we stay connected in the community, outside the company and within. >> how lucky was harvard to accept you as one of their students? >> you know, luck is when preparation meets opportunity, so i did not think this would ever be an opportunity for me. honestly i share that because i'm from oxnard, california. when my mom made me apply, moms always know, i said, mom, kids from oxnard don't go to harvard. and she said, mija, you never know unless you try. i was lucky enough to get but i think the years of ar gen. my mom is a teacher and my dad is an optometrist. i moved to cambridge and spent four years there. it totally changed my life, definitely tested me and made me appreciate home that much more. >> i did a short speaking series there on that campus once. i mean, you're awestruck and you can probably count the latinos on two hands now, but it's very awesome. how does cultura

google's ceo, sundar pichai, claims his company faces intense competition, yet somehow, some way, googleages to dominate search traffic, accounting for, are you ready, almost 92% of all searches done online, 92%. that is very close to monopolistic, don't you think? and google also remains the largest digital ad platform by market share. last year nearly 32% of all digital advertising dollars were spent, on google. the company paying a $1.7 billion fine in march to the european union where they stood accused of abusing the giant advertising market dominance, well, that denial was found to be absurd. all four companies today though under investigation by the justice department and a number of state attorneys general for monopolistic, anti-competitive behavior. and they're looking into whether these big tech companies should be, pardon the expression, broken up. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg was asked directly about that, grilled on whether his company bought the now popular app instagram in order to neutralize a potential competitor. perish the thought. here is his response. >> i've always

is google staring advertising revenue to google search? >> congresswoman, users on google search, that's where our source of revenue comes from. we work hard to earn their trust. we know competition for information is just a click away. >> thank you mister pichai. i want to make the point that independent journalism is incredibly necessary for our democracy and we want to do what we can to protect it. i want to ask one last question of mr. zuckerberg. over 1100 companies and organizations pulled their advertising business from facebook as part of the stock meat for profit campaign to protest the spread of hate speech and disinformation. but you at a staff meeting earlier this month told employees you are not going to change your policies or approach because of a threat to any percent of your revenue. my guess is all these advertisers will be back on the platform soon enough. mr. zuckerberg, are you so big that you don't care how you are impacted by a major boycott of 1100 advertisers? >> no congresswoman. of course we care. but, we're also

they denied today, ceo of google denied that, or of alphabet, which owns google, denied they have any kind ever idealogical algorithms. i don't believe that, do you? >> well, david, i think the tech companies are in a tough bind because many times they're often times, david, they're blamed for what is put on their websites. for example, if potentially dangerous or harmful material is promoted, those tech titans themselves could be, could be at risk. so they're in a very tough bind unfortunately. i don't think it is their policy in my belief to purposely censor any one group. david: i don't know. let me switch to russell for a second because we all remember that election night wake that they had at google in which they were lamenting the election of donald trump and suggesting that any success that he and his campaign had using, whether it was google, facebook, whatever, that they would try to interfere with those opportunities that the trump campaign used. then, you have, you have also this section 230 which essentially says, if i have a platform, i'm not subject to any of the liabili

so if you don't exist on google, you don't exist.id they tell you that they were going to shut you down in order to get joe biden elected or did they just do it? >> they want to tell you specifically why, they only talk about vega talking points that are nonspecified and totally subjective and i think your thesis is right on the money. this is 100% about the 2020 election, controlling the narrative and controlling what people leader. that will be all the more people who are getting their news 100% from cnn, "the new york times" and the people who would do anything in their power to get joe biden to the white house. >> tucker: so maybe congress should have done something about this before allowing a company that is not an american company, not in any sense an american company come up to have total control over our news and information. maybe someone should have noticed why didn't anybody do anything? >> that is the mystery that boggles the mind because i don't feel like the republican party feels the existential threat that you and i

apple says, if you don't like our platform, use google. google says the converse. companies are using control of the operating systems to exercise monopoly over all comers conducted between consumers and businesses. apple says, if you build an app for our platform, first for, you can only distribute it through their store. imagine a town that only allowed target, disallowed any other stores from owning anything. that is totally un-american and uncompetitive. that is exactly what apple does. a semi-openreated platform with android. the software is open platform but then they layer on all of these business terms with the google play store and google search, which force all of the carriers making devices to lock it down and limit it. apple and google are taking 30% of all revenues for comers. they are deciding which kind of apps you are allowed to build and which kinds you are not. they are preventing entire categories of innovation. microsoft is creating this incredible cloud service where you can stream any game over internet servers, any device. apple says no, you

google misappropriated lyrics from genius media groups website and publish those lyrics on google's own platform. however, genius, google in the act quite literally, red-handed, when genius expected this corporate draft was occurring, as they incorporated a digital watermark that spelled out "red-handed." the lyric boxes contain the watermark, showing that your company stole what you couldn't or didn't want to produce yourself. after google executive stated that they were investigating this problematic behavior, jeannie has created another experiment to determine the scope of the misappropriation. it turned out that out of 271 songs where the watermark was applied, 43% showed clear evidence of matching. your company, which advertises itself as a doorway to freedom, took advantage of the small company, but extinguishing their freedom to compete. google is supposed to connect people to information. your corporate values once stood for freedom, a platform that let capitalism to flourish and help bring countless people across the globe out of out of poverty. my question to you, do you think

no voice assistant whether produced by amazon google apple i.b.m. or microsoft will understand every word but the error rates fall notable patterns a study by stanford university for example found a 35 percent error rate for african-americans as opposed to 19 percent for white americans even though english is the standard language for voice systems many languages can't be used at all it's just 8 work across platforms for amazon google and apple the google smartphone assistant is the most diverse it speaks 24 languages but generally the rule for all devices is minorities are not certain time or take minutes. if you lend and in many countries all there's no speech software gets off because the demand just isn't worth investing in it the most out on the hill. so speech recognition systems don't work the same for everyone plus let's not forget that there are people with speech impediments and people who cannot speak or hear a german research project has developed the 1st tool that enables speech software

buy google at one point.hether he wanted to buy google at one point. it will bea to buy google at one point. it will be a while before we can buy google, did you recall writing that e—mail? ido did you recall writing that e—mail? i do not, but it sounds like a joke. some pretty pointed questions to tim cook of apple, that apple uses its position to hurt businesses. visit defence. so, we do not retaliate or bully people, it is strongly against our company culture. and the questions got harsher, at one point jeff bezos‘s amazon's treatment of smaller businesses was compared to eight rug dealer dealing with a drug addict. you had to get your next fix, your next check. this is one of your partners, why on earth that they compare your company to wager dealer? i have great respect for you and this committee but i completely disagree with that characterisation. in truth, there was a clear theme. democrats want more on competition, republicans more unsentimental and whether these tech platforms were biased against co

i think the one to watch is google. it is the truest reflection of the macro economy in the united states and global economy we'll see out of the four today. david: carol, you have issues of facebook, whether or not that boycot that happened in july will affect its numbers. google has issues of its own in terms of censoring or charges of censoring. those will be interesting once. >> the regulatory issues for both of them and the big boycott virtue signal. the big question does that show up meaningfully particularly for facebook and their numbers this quarter or something that blows by and i think if it does show up the mean any for earnings this quarter i think it become as drag on the stock for a buying opportunity because those are the type of virtue signaling events that don't seem to have a lot of tails on them. david: lance, there is always questions about what apple has up its sleeve in terms of new product design, et cetera. anything to look for? >> look, they don't signal what they're going to do during this cal

congress asking the right questions of google facebook amazon etc. well i think of course this is about competition but but it's also about the enormous power that the big tech companies have games during the last decade it's about technology that's no longer i think just a technology but that that's there in the middle of our lives i'm not surprised that big political tensions are now ready and are much more going to be about digital tech and new delhi it's because schelm opponents we mentioned earlier one of the guests and mentioned india specifically it has a different anti trust regime a different set of antitrust laws what's india's biggest concern particularly as one of the biggest developing markets when it comes to tech. so we do have a rule and it's just one sees what some of the allegations that have been we instantly u.s. iranian army for instance you know. nobody said she was like do you know about your back isn't as on the black. against is missiles and navigation against amazon in the india one gets e-commerce is still very new to india

whereas, google is very, very difficult to escape.mazon, also another pretty big predator, because they are accused of mom-and-pop coming in and they sell on that site, you buy from them, and amazon comes and pitches you something else and shoves that other business out of the way. there's been a lot of complaints like that, and they also -- he is so smart, jeff bezos, to jump into the next phase and get the monopoly on it before people show up. he was thinking about the cloud before anyone else was. not that they have the monopoly there, but that's a huge business for them. all of these guys, as you see them sitting together, are not created equal. i think there should be more focus on google, and that's one reason we don't see the ceo out a lot. they are smart, they don't like a lot of noise. they keep their head down because they are probably the most dangerous. >> harris: and bezos, just to be clear, he's had some drama off the field, as we say in sports. he has had some other things going on, so we don't see him as much. we won't

let me ask you, jim sensenbrenner has taken money from google, google is your second-biggest campaigntributor in the last cycle, why do you think they would give you money? >> look, if they want to exercise their first amendment liberty to give me money, i raise $3 million last quarter, god bless him, that doesn't change who i am. you saw that today in the committee, i went after them for the things you just read, tucker. in 2016, google tried to tailor their features to help clinton in key states, that's from the head of their multicultural marketing. >> tucker: i'm a talk show host, we talk about this all the time. they somehow have a liability exemption where they can't be sued for garbage on their site. where's the effort to do that? >> i just like to know, ones are going to happen? >> we are working on it right now with folks in the senate, our staff is working with senate staff on that issue. what's the best way to structure that language, we are looking at that. also at the justice department is doing, bill barr is looking at this issue as well. now we may have to write some ot

other countries, google has majority of revenue.is impossible to look at a territory and say in this place, apple and google is not a monopoly. they have on them -- have a monopoly. >> sometimes i have negative opinions about apple being a little too much control over you. but i thought about this one. there is one going on right now with antitrust, and i actually take apple's side on this one. 30%, and giving you guarantees and protection and security in the apps you can possibly download, when you look at what happened in the android world, oh my gosh, i don't expect of the -- i don't object to the 30% at all. >> it is moving in the right direction but we have many steps to go before we consider this an open and fair platform. emily: daniel act, ceo of spotify. what do you make of that issue given apple's brand, given there are 1.7 million apps in the app store that maybe would not have a place if apple did not run the gates and hold the keys the way it does? andrew: it is a tough one. it is a line drawing question. clearly, there
