kicking the decision forward into mid next year so you have heard company after company, facebook, google, twitter are not likely to see employees come back en masse until next and can't all return until we have a vaccine and that doesn't look like it will be widely available to probably spring or summer next year at the earliest so working from home is really here to stay for the next six to nine months at least. >> and does that make a difference? if so where? what sector of the economy to the idea of how much productivity, how much growth can we get if a third of americans work at home? does it matter? >> it does. for some sectors like banking and high-tech it's not been much of an issue but other sectors it is horrible. think of travel, entertainment, accommodation. those are sectors that can't really be effectively run working from home. employees have been really killed in terms of growth. we have seen the other factor is the return to work is kind of stalled for the last month or two. you mentioned earlier that georgia having a flare-up of coronavirus ian stalling the country of the reopeni

twitter and even google have decided not to engage at all an i think look, the social media space as where a lot of these conversations are happening. a think right now we need to have as serious glitzy rules of engagement from these tech companies have if you're going to apply to a conservative it better applied to a liberal especially when you see impartiality is not always something that can embody. >> in the investigative journalist had rate written a piece before these things happened. a came out talking about fact checkers prayed she says fact checkers are like-minded or often liberal gatekeepers who rely on partisan news sources and political activist to control narratives on a wide variety of issues and controversies. this the small group of players excites and to shape and sensor information, but commissioner, they are private entities. >> look, when it comes to free speech, facebook's relationship status is its complicated. when you compare mark zuckerber to some of his counterparts, he actually does a far better job when it comes to standing up fo a free-speech. he says he

google in. you do not let twitter in. you do not let these platforms in, but your foreign minister is on twitter all the time. tweeting away. your operatives are on facebook engaging in conversation, yet we cannot do the same in your country. here you come with a state subsidized social media app , again, and you will get all of this demographic and this trend analysis on our youngest generation, yet we cannot come into your market? that does not seem fair, so we are going to stop it. maybe you use this as a leverage point to say you can be in our app market if we can be in yours. but it is completely one-sided right now, and i think some negotiations have probably failed, so it is turned into this gross negotiation. >> jeff moss, have you been a tiktok user in the past, and what kind of social media do you use? >> we have done def con in china twice now, so i use the chinese version. bytedance produces multiple versions. there is a domestic version and a foreign version. when we talk to people in china, we use wechat. it

now they have to only go to google and facebook and twitter where there may be ten years ago they would've had to of gone to 50, 60 or hundred and now by concentrating the power were getting marketing efficiencies but getting regulation and so that is why i think the internet is a point where removing two more fragile or political less resilient last distributed internet and it's generally because of market efficiencies and these great powers aggregated so up to your original question about china i think of it more as there will be a sphere of countries instead of the rule of law country that democracies or rule that out the laws don't have to be the same but there will be countries that respect the rule of law whatever it may be in respect each other's tradition and then there will be a group of countries that are more authoritarian naval may be be iran, north korea or china and they have a different system and they view the world differently and there'll ultimately be, i believe, essentially these two spheres with the undecided in between so i wouldn't be surprised if five, ten years fro

that any company that is collecting data about its users is a threat, whether that is tiktok, google, twitter, facebook. the important thing is to get to the data handling transparency. isre is the data stored, how it used, who and how is it repurposed for market gains? all of these platforms are having a similar problem. it is just a question of when they come into the political crosshairs, whether it is here in the united states, in china, or in europe. shery: in the case of huawei, they insist they do not have access to personal data, so how much of a security threat does huawei pose, and when it comes to huawei meeting in the network space, that seems to be a more beijing policy drive. is an economic versus a political motivation for china? melissa: well, i think that huawei is a different story from tiktok, and i think that their technology is very good. but as part of the china 2025 strategy, huawei is one of the key national companies core to and asng china 2025, such, they are getting assistance from beijing. for are getting subsidized the price point of their product, and they are tr

of america's most popular internet services have been banned in china for a long time already, twitter, google, facebook to name a few that in part has enabled the rise of wechat and other chinese giants >> in terms of video games, as i understand it they would be unaffected by this ban, correct? >> there's still so much we don't know we do know that tencent has a stake in epic games and other video game players we don't know if those ties would have to be undone. there could be some restrictions but we don't know how far the eo will go. >> in terms of starbucks and mcdonald's marketing in wechat, the issue is the use of wechat in the united states because it's the user data an executive order would potentially ban mcdonald's use of wechat in china >> right so the wechat app does a lot more in china than it does here. in the united states it's primarily a messaging app. that would effect a lot of the american chinese that use the app to communicate with family you're right, starbucks, mcdonald's don't just use the app for marketing. that's where transactions take place. that's how people actua

the fact that this charge that they stifle conservative views and i'm thinking particularly google and twitterbut twitter is also accused of doing that. >> yeah, i think the question came up about stifling conservative voices and it came that donald trump, jr. was suspended for reposting a video of -- of coronavirus cure and it was asked about mark zuckerberg and he said, well, hey, actually that was twitter that did that -- [laughter] >> congress is behind the times on figuring out who is who and there have been examples of google demontizing conservative sites but every time that's pointed out it seems to me that those things get fixed. facebook seems to be doing this best, look, we are not going the fact-check political ads. that's -- that's for the public to decide for themselves, so again, i think that's something that does happen, but competition can solve it. i will remind you 25 years ago almost to the day, august 9th actually, netscape went public. remember netscape? many people don't because they are long gone. strong and powerful new window to the internet. paul: i get facebook a lo

they don't have a clue how to regulate google, facebook, twitter and microsoft. and i think that is going to be a task whoever wins the 2020 election and whether it is biden or trump, you want to have the kind of powers in the executive and what i try to defend in this book. >> i'm sorry but thank for calling in. i apologize for my voice haven't but thank you very much for joining us and buy john's book. it's really terrific. captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org >> watch book tv. saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m. watch several hours of your favorite authors. saturday -- >> sunday night, manhattan institute president examines the question on whether another exodus is ahead for u.s. cities due to the pandemic. >> my fear is you are going to see a period from 1980 to 2020 when you saw this tremendous prosperity in a number of major urban centers and that 2020 beyond, if we don't approach this in a thoughtful careful way could represent a reversal in which that economic act

probably 200 times a day, posting and tweeting all the time and i can tell you more so than google and twitter facebook has at least resisted some of the left-wing pressure to remove posts as i can tell you from posts that would not be able to have a fair hearing on other platforms, there has been commission of free expression and mark zuckerberg was the only person who testified last week thinks china is a threat to our country. the fact checking process needs to be completely eliminating. i've had posts of my own, their fact checking, at the washington post, activists getting grants from facebook. it is complicated. this is not a minor issue. speech that used to be in the public, maybe outside the state legislature is all happening online. it is a civil right to have your voice heard on a social platform. we must demand that. shannon: have they been transformed into public forums that would have more legal protections for free speech? >> this is a question being raised at the fcc, the trump administration had a petition with us asking for rules clarifying section 230 was a lot of people now

know this already and many people might know this, but i think section 230, which gives twitter and facebook and google and all these on-line platforms, they have no legal liability for false statements and slanderous statements that are posted on facebook, twitter, and the on-line platforms. if dina slanders someone in her story, if i slander someone in a story in the new yorker, i can be sued for libel. some argue those laws are too loose. so i would make -- realize that absolutely everything you are seeing on-line has not been fact checked at all, and then this will sound hokie but i mean it. if you are a conservative and you are seeing these crazy things in your facebook feed and you are not reading them in the "wall street journal," i would use the "wall street journal" news pages as your guide. what you're seeing on facebook is false. the "wall street journal" is owned by rupert murdoch who also owns fox news. clearly their editorial page is deeply conservative. if it is not in the news pages of the "wall street journal," it is false. there is a value to journalism. again, we have a crisis of inf

citigroup, jpmorgan, google, twitter, facebook, they want employees to be remote for maybe years or permanentlyconomic ecosystem of new york city, the restaurants, transportation, office buildings, commercial real estate but what happens to the tax base when all of your workers can now live anywhere they want in the country, not even the suburbs? they will go to all of the cities like nashville, miami, austin, denver. they are leaving cities because they can work in places that have a cheaper cost of living, lower tax basis and what happens to the tax revenues of new york? just at the same time that deficits are soaring? so all of these numbers and, you know, apocalyptic statistics you were just quoting, what is going to reverse that? it is only going to get worse. stuart: it is very sad, james. look, i lived in the new york area for 40 years. i love this city. it is a truly great city. i have lived in london. i lived all over the world in great cities. this is a great city. it grieves me to hear you say it's dead forever. is there hope at all? surely can come back a little bit, can't it? it wo

a lot of american websites are banned in china like face look, google -- like facebook and google and twitters down to the moral argument about whether countries bar certainble to apps from their countries, it is not going to work in china's favor either. rishaad: how do authorities there look at what is happening with regards to trade here with these talks of the so-called phase one trade deal slated for the middle of the month the echo -- the middle of the month? sharon: it makes sense that as we reported, the two sides are soon to meet sometime evaluate the progress of the deal. ties have worsened significantly since the deal was signed. it is kind of difficult to overstate how bad things have gotten since then. also, it has been complicated by the coronavirus. china has struggled to meet the target, even for the purchases that they have set out in the deal. is really a question of whether the deal is even still valid and what happens if the next phase of talks, which trump has already said are indicated to be at a standstill and not going to proceed. haslinda: trump says the trade deal is

the works of us i want to ask you about that because i was looking at your twitter feed and reacting to google shakers announced victory you tweeted that the elections in belarus should be a lesson to berlin and brussels what should germany and the e.u. learn from this. we should learn clearly that the idea that look at what a safe abella was independence from russia union state of russia and below it was just in debate since many 5 years is a fake arguments by look i should go and the kremlin to hold us at that as they were tearing and they should see clearly that our only part that can be the democratic opposition and the democratic movement in the front please and if the levels really really wants to change across who are more open more of what's best it must be on a value based approach how would you suggest that germany and the rest of the european union should go about bringing in the other routes into a closer relationship with the european union that the based on relations with those opposition parties and i think the 1st point is even that seems to be naïve we need to put in the full

microsoft who will by the way also use and probably will misuse data as well as facebook has as twitter has as google has look the dean said something that's very important here i think and that is he pointed out that there is no general policy being created that is significant the u.s. government if they want to deal with this needs to create rules and laws for how data is handled by everyone not simply because data might be accessed by the chinese government it's bad but if data is being mishandled or even accessed by the u.s. government it's good either data is is something worth protecting or it's not and did quote actually want to follow up with you on that exact point that ben's making i mean you've been in the business world for for decades and actually seen as technology has come up and microsoft has come to dominance along with these other tech heavyweights i what how do you feel about this when it comes to control of data should there be more regulation in that regard or or what are you seeing as the dean of the miami harvard business school. well i think that definitely should be more regu

teams at facebook, twitter, google, teams within the u.s.nment, and independent researchers, all of whom are working together to tackle this challenge. what is interesting is we have seen them do things like change their content. there was an operation last year that used artificially intelligent -- that used images generated with machine learning to make their accounts look more real. that is a content changed at is, their behavior still tips us off. emily: nathaniel, -- nathaniel: the defenders are getting better faster. emily: one last question, speaking of domestic actors. nbc has reported you have millions of followers of right wing conspiracy groups like qanon. why haven't you banned them? why haven't you taken them down? nathaniel: that is exactly why the security challenge around public debate is so hard. i think we should level set. we have 3 billion people on the platform around the world. they make billions of posts every day. qanon is a tiny fraction of that. but it is good to focus on them because they are pushing the boundaries

we had talked and speculation that others like alphabet, the google parent, as well as twitter, evenank from this. had considered it looks as if it will come down to, microsoft/walmart as well as oracle. and again, the price tag we've been talking about is anywhere between $20 billion and $50 billion is what analysts have been pegging. that's a wide margin. we heard wedbush analyst daniel ives see the deal will likely come down to between $35 billion and $45 billion. but we're hearing bytedance is seeking $30 billion. the numbers are all over the place because we've also heard from people saying earlier, twitter had floated an idea of about $10 billion for the price tag. so we'll have to see how this plays out, but people close to this impending deal say it could be worked out within days, if not within the next week. there's a warm up in this, as well. it's a head scratcher. what is walmart bring to the table? stephen: is it a head scratcher? it's interesting, because bytedance and tiktok has a lot of e-commerce features, as well as video clips. that e-commerce element has not been

i do not think it means harris and biden go after google and amazon, facebook or twitter. think it means they turn over the keys of the antitrust division to the cops, who have traditionally run antitrust investigations. and maybe with a little bit more freedom to range a little bit more widely and be a little bit more expansive in trying to fight anti-competitive practices. so it will be very difficult for them to antitrust enforcement. but with these candidates, i do not see why that would not be the case with them forward. emily: we are standing by now for the president to deliver a news briefing at the white house. we are going to take you there live when it happens. curious how you expect the next 83 days to play out. 83 days before the election. obviously the president has set quite a stage. we are in the middle of a pandemic. he cannot campaign the normal wa y. we see president trump walking out now so we are going to listen in to the president. wes. trump: good evening, as continue to confront the china virus, we are we building america's economy like nobody ever t

google de- monetizing? everybody was willing is, mainstream conservatives, they got thrown off of facebook, twitter. then it happened to hyde park and they were making it hard for bright part. now we are seeing google's perspective. what's next? it's going to be the washington examiner is that they are working their way to the middle and now you can't even wear a t-shirt from the conservative news channels without having people threatened the lives of your family. it's completely unhinged. whether that means you are a supporter of the conservative media were through the network itself to make it impossible that is for all of us because on top of that they are making it impossible. it was totally rejected zero explanation. i think according to the buck, we are having a conversation right now about the antiracist movement and what words are allowed. around 2007, certain words like whiteness, races, white privilege, social justice exploded in the average content of the most major outlets. so we were being inundated with conversations that we were not really having to the truth of what was going on aroun

revenues as i am and so microsoft and google or google keep dominate in the cloud computing market while there are other contenders here microsoft and twitter what are oracle's chances in really striking a deal. i would say. bigger than twitter says sensing it has a much a better ability to finance that multi-billion deal and he's a macho bigger company also it's a co-founder lottery recent easing good terms with the president trump on the other side though it currently microsoft is the only company that has officially stated it's interesting tick-tock and has engaging and negotiations longer than the last $24.00 to take giant acquisition makes a lot of sense and strategically and it can't afford an operation like these either alone or with the others but there are also concerns of both that because of its operations in continental china and to trust issues at the end big tech it's getting even bigger causalities thanks for now but do stay with us. yours retailer wal-mart posted its biggest growth in online sales in the 2nd quarter as shoppers cashed in stimulus checks and stepped up purchases of electronics online sales jumped 97 percent a
