so google is out.p and they basically shrugged it off and made no indication that this was serious despite their e-mail being very serious. amazon as usual basically saying you know i never saw any problems and there are no issues. so we had still even on the eighth in and the ninth we had no real indication that this was deadly serious. mark: where is this matter now? you have sued amazon as i understand it. what is the status? >> we are trying to get our services back up and running so at least we can access our development and testing environments. this is an indication to me that seems really strange, if they believe that the social media itself was a problem why did they shut off everything else to so that development environment. they shut off our ability to work in their ability to access our own code and work on that so what they did -- mark: wait, wait this is important. you are saying you're wrong for private terry code, other information, contact and date information you can't even access wh

google search. talk to us about why you think this is how google can have the biggest impact. dr. desalvo: thanks for the time today. google has been supportive since the beginning of the pandemic for public health. people have been coming to us every day for information about health and particularly wanting to know how to protect themselves and their families. so in a number of ways, we have raised information and this vaccination effort is another cycle of putting forward information for the community when they come looking forward. it is to facilitate everyone getting vaccinated because as the community goes, we all go. the announcement we made today is the way we can provide resources to authorities, local community based organizations, often the most trusted on the front lines of the community, so they can get the information they need about if they are eligible for vaccine, to build confidence, and when the time is right for their return, they will know where to go to get the vaccine. the avai

google said that. the last few weeks since it was last announced —— first downs, we have seen a campaign from google whenever you search in australia you get a warning informing them of the legislation and looking for them to rally on their behalf stop they have lost a campaign today on twitter, putting out a video explaining why they may have to walk and trying to generate interest and passion amongst australian citizens to fight on their behalf. we have also seen google's own property youtube launch a similar campaign. what google's opposition here seems to be that it seems to be that such legislation would make it mandatory for them to pay as well as increasing the bargaining power of the smaller news outlets. around the world we have seen, for instance, just in the last 12 hours them sign a deal in france to publishers such as le monde newspaper and a number of different newspapers and the like. the difference here seems to be they are organised or basically distributed on a case—by—case basis, whe

yeah well as i say i mean google also seems very serious facebook and google for months now have been running quite public scare campaigns if you go into you true for a while there they were saying you know you tube will be taken down then today of course the latest from mel silver who runs google in a strong she also alkaloid a video. expressing the same concerns but more publicly not just talk parliamentary inquiry and she said it would basically break how google works and it's not just her it's actually team berners lee the guy who invented the world wide web has sort of echoed the same sentiment and he doesn't necessarily have any interest in google so so i do think it's a really really difficult problem in that both i think both sides probably need to come to some sort of negotiation. ok max thank you very much for filling us in there was journalist max bogen reporting from newcastle australia. well russia is facing a growing problem with garbage the country produces around $60000000.00 tons of trash each year but very little of this is recycled the environmental organizations sa

and so they go to google for that reason, but that google has instead systematically deprived rivalsich my understanding is she expressed a few years ago — is increasingly out of date and not really corresponding to the new facts and realities that we are seeing on the ground. why do you think that in europe, for example, there appears to be a much greater readiness to hit these companies hard and very soon. for example, the european competition commissioner margrethe vestager has said that the digital markets act and the other legislation that the commission is pushing forward will involve a willingness to impose "structural remedies, divestitures — that sort of thing". she has been very explicit with the stick, rather than the carrot. why? is it because there in europe, they are less pressured by the financial clout of these big american tech giants? it's a good question and, you know, i would say that these giants have so much at stake that they are really able to, you know, throw a lot of money in all sorts ofjurisdictions. i think europe has been quite clear—eyed about the probl

reporter: that formal recognition from google -- without formalecognition from google, they are not legallyequired to negotiate with the union. how do you hope to move somef these issues? >> we are what is known as a minority union. we are a relatively small portion of the cone -- of the company right now, although we expect to have a lot more people as we become public. but we intend to get the company's ear by doing the same things that we have previously, but now with more structure, now with more organization. google has a history of successful worker activism, and its biggest weakness previously, with all the respect to the amazing people who had worked for activism previously, is without a structure to keep it going after the initial demand, after the initial splash, it has not always gotten consistent, sustained results and attention from google executives. so we think that by just supporting these sorts of efforts, this wker activism, these worker vois, because we're the people who make up the company, google is going to listen tos. we are gooe. and the executives are going to take

when you think of that set of companies it is restricted to social media, google, but not much beyond that. snapchat, google and other applications and what i tried to suggest is we don't want to target just facebook. i say that because it is not a politically viable thing to do. we can't just say facebook's business model is corrosive to society. we want to regulate facebook specifically. there is a set of practices bind facebook, google, amazon that describes what is happening in all of the consumer internet industry that is focused on an uninhibited basis to develop on an uninhibited basis, using our profiles to curate social content and target a profit maximizing way. it has become the fact that companies like facebook you could see it as a machine. with algorithms sitting on top, you have a set of circumstances where these companies do that without any restriction or consideration for democratic interest, that is when we start to recognize over time this is harming our election, this is timing disadvantaged population and we need to restrict the possibility of data on an uninhibi

google employees actually successfully organize in the past to make changes within the company. yes they have back in 2018 thousands of workers protested google's work on project mavin with the defense department to help the military interpret video images collected by drone surveillance that could then be used in targeted drone killings their collective activism created a public relations nightmare for google forcing it to terminate the contract in another collective campaign $20000.00 workers staged a walkout over google's mishandling of sexual misconduct resulting in the end of the firm's forced arbitration policy and of course in recent months google has also faced scrutiny over its firing of a black artificial intelligence researcher who criticized the company's approach to minority hiring and bias programs in ai systems and google is also currently being sued by the justice department for violating antitrust laws so that's going to be another area of interest for these union members. what about other tech companies are we going to see efforts to unionize other tech sector

plus tech industry workers are making a major step as some google employees have unionized later i'm going to bring you up to speed on the move and whether this could be a larger trend in the tech sector and later on the tensions between the united states and china are chilling even further as several chinese telecom firms will be delisted from the new york stock exchange with a packed show today let's dive right in. and we lead the program with an incredible weekend for crypto currency specifically big coin as the world's largest crypto currency hit an all time record high of over $34000.00 now by monday that number had fallen back to around $31000.00 but still leaves bitcoin at record highs and those numbers are also causing a huge push for all the courts joining me now to break it all down is jeffrey tucker the editorial director for the american institute of economic research and boom bust co-host and cryptocurrency analyst ben swan always great to have both of you on especially on this specific topic now jeffrey i could see just chomping at the bit ready to go so i want to start

what is your latest response to this from google >> well, response to google? of all, i think again i think one thing that's going to happen and needed and been needed for a few years there's going to be regulation, more stringent regulation of big tech companies i don't know if there's anybody -- i don't know se-- who doesn't think that sensible regulation will be applied it will take place this year or next year and i think that will help -- i think that will help -- i don't think this playing field is ever getting leveled. google is a monopoly without question and so, you know, i've always argued with google that, you know, i think of it as if you live -- you know, i think everybody lives as a serf, old russian serfdom on the lands of google but i also think that it is -- i've said to google, it's wise to treat your serfs really well because otherwise they tend to rise up and overrun the castle and i think what will happen is that regulation is going to help provide that, so i have a lot of equanimity about what i think will happen in the next couple of year

also on the show google employees former union what does it mean for an industry to see more employee activism but has long been resistant to organizing. and we'll look at germany's rising interest in bio gas created from livestock and your implant matter as part of a transition to a new energy. to the show i'm stephen beard it's good to have you with us. one of the big stories on the new york stock exchange in recent weeks was the expected delisting of 3 chinese tech firms all of them targeted in the recent us executive order prohibiting americans from investing in companies that washington claims are linked to the beijing government on monday the new york stock exchange abruptly canceled. shocking many. as if trade and diplomatic relations between the u.s. and china couldn't get any foggier. the new york stock exchange had an announced it was delisting 3 communications giants china telecom china unicom and china mobile. the delisting followed an executive order from president donald trump which barred american investments and chinese firms owned or controlled by the military now the

first, google has said it will block its search engine in australia unless the government backs down over a new-media code which would force the tech company to pay for news content. the code proposed by the government aims to make google and facebook pay australian median companies for using content from their sites. the government has responded to google by saying they will not respond to threats. >> australian news outlets want google to pay them a fee or face a hefty fine for publishing their content in its search engine. a corresponding law was drafted in december. google says that is unacceptable, and it retaliated at a hearing before the australian senate. >> the principle of unrestricted linking this fundamental research. coupled with the unmanageable financial and operational risk, if this version were to become more, it would give us no real choice but to stop making google search available in australia. >> this would be the first time google had pulled out of an entire continent, but australia is not taking it lying down. >> australia makes rules for what can be done in au

nissan that -- ashwani gupta there- — google has threatened to disable its search engine in australiaent passes a law forcing digital giants to pay media outlets for news content. the move would mean the 19 million australians who use google every month would no longer be able to search, and 17 million australians who log into facebook every month would not be able to see or post any news articles. let's go to sharanjit leyl who is following the story from our asia business hub in singapore. what is the issue? yes, i mean, it is quite a big issue because it really is, victoria, a stark example of a tech guy trying to exert its power and influence. google is essentially defying australia's proposals to introduce a land more —— landmark new law code that will make notjust but facebook and potentially other tech companies pay local media providers for their news content. google is arguing that the laws would damage local access to services, but australia's prime minister, scott morrison, he has it back and said lawmakers would not yield to threats and other lawmakers in australia describ

certainly google but not much beyond. snap chat and twitter would be pulled into this and other sorts of applications and what i suggest is that we don't want to target just facebook. i don't say that because i'm a former facebook or. i say that because it kind of politically viable thing to do. we can't really say that facebook's business model is corrosive to society. we need to regulate facebook specifically . really, there's a set of practices that are exploitative by facebook, behind google, behind amazon that describes something that's happening in all of the consumer internet industries that is focused on collecting data on an uninhibited basis, using that data to develop behavioral profiles on anuninhibited basis , using our profiles to curate our social content, our social feeds and target ads better in a profit maximizing way and really, it's become a fact that companies like facebook, you can see it as one big machine . servers on top of without rhythms sitting on top and data selection powering that whole syst
