this conversation about cda 230, if there were-if we lived in the alternate universe where facebook and google not exist? the answer across the board has been no current so i encourage individuals to think about other policy tools that exist to address the negative externalities that exist that come with bigness and dominance. using tools like antitrust to reduce that bigness of these firms, to encourage more pluralism on the web and allow more voices to arise and encourage competition between platforms, enables a market approach to deal with these issues. to radicalsed cda 230.f host: how would it impact yelp if that section were changed? guest: you can imagine a the litigiouse business owner feels compelled , whethere individual or whether or not it is a frivolous lawsuit, the canal, absent 230, call yelp as a codefendant in the case. dac creates an unscalable and insurmountable cost -- that creates an unscalable and insurmountable cost of doing business that would not allow services like yelp to exist. it is an axiomatic, foundational subsidy for the internet as we know it to exist. and i d

in seattle with major businesses like twitter, google and facebook telling employees to work from home. some business owners say the city feels like a ghost town. we have this new video from the california air national guard hovering over a cruise ship that's now being held off the coast of california. these are troopers delivering test kits after several passengers showed symptoms and officials learned that a patient who died in california earlier this week had recently traveled on that same ship. more than 3,500 passengers and crew are on board that ship right now. we're told 45 people have been tested. results are expected later today. officials with the new york city department of health say they are keeping an eye on more than 2700 residents who are currently under quarantine. that comes as the number of confirmed cases doubled in new york state thursday from 11 to 22. colorado announced its first two cases, while maryland announced its first three cases and joined florida, washington state and california in declaring states of emergency. this morning also the u.s. also reported i

and then the surveillance on the phones will stop i think in any case everything you write on google and facebook and you pass on a card everyone knows your information today so it's no problem to follow you it prevents infection you will see about. all our political analyst amir oren things the lack of public trust in prime minister benjamin netanyahu will make it difficult for the government to implement any containment plan. these really probably in this particular crisis would prefer health and prevention of contagion epidemics over almost anything but this is not the cure for these really public but then you know government has lost its credibility and therefore suspect in its handling of this crisis in a time you know him self he's also a defendant in a criminal trial because he has been indicted for bribery and other offenses so whenever he says something he's suspect of trying to play for rezone personal or political advantage. ok let's bring you some other world news on the program now old computer purchased on e-bay by a group of german cyber security experts for just $100.00 has turned

just don't think and i think we should be exploring other public policy tools to grapple with facebook and google before putting 230 on the table. >> host: but doesn't yelp have some liability if a fraudulent business posts on your site? >> guest: well, we have a lot of mechanisms to ensure that at the end of the day the affirmation that we are providing to consumers is trustworthy and useful and there are mechanisms in place that we provide that to 30 allows us to provide that addresses this. the first is the recommendation software that are any given day is putting into not recommended a state of about 25% of reviews submitted to yelp's lifetime so 15 million reviews that are in this not recommended state. users can click on it but i can imagine it's a spam folder on your e-mail. the other tool we have is we have an army of human beings that are constantly looking at flags so a business owner, consumer and flag the review and say this violates guidelines and so a review like what you are describing would likely fall into that example and a human being evaluates that and says yeah, gosh, this do
