college graduates, deciding what content gets resonance along the largest communities ever assembled jack dorsey a moment. the next couple of weeks will be very ugly for mr. dorsey. >> just to dig into this a little bit further. if the companies and the ceos should not be in the position to self police and decide what should be and shouldn't be on their plat forms then that would infer that regulators should step in. i will say it. we saw how the testimony with mark zuckerburg turned out in congress. it seemed very much like a number of lawmakers don't fully understand tech or the business of tech. would they be the ones capable of making the right types of regulations? >> i think this issue is actually simpler than the one we dealt with in those hearings. this one is really about media. there are a set of rules that govern cnbc and newspapers and any media about what is appropriate and what is not appropriate. and for reasons that are historical and relate to the early days of the internet, the internet platforms were exempted from all of that. it strikes me that the first, most basic thing is

twitter ceo jack dorsey told me why his company is now take action. jones has posted a video telling people to get their battle rifles ready against the media. >> they will need to have their battle rifles ready at their bed sides. you have to be ready. >> it sent a chill up my spine. how about yours? >> it did. there's a number of actions that we believe help a call to incitement to violence. those are the things that we need to make sure that we are taking action on. >> you've taken action against him in this instance. can you tell us what it is? >> i believe we put him in a time out, removing his ability to tweet for a time period. >> that period just seven days. and presumably after that, jones will be back. a time out seems minor compared to the implication of one suggesting a call to arms against a particular group, in this case the media. how do you respond to that? >> i feel any suspension, whether it be a permanent one or a temporary one, makes someone think about their actions and their behaviors. >> you think this is going to change his beh

>> unless jack dorsey is a miracle maker, he will not cure hate from the political discourse today. side. he did the interview friday. the president tweeting. here is what dorsey said about that. >> are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints? we are not. period. we do not look at content with regard to political viewpoint or ideology. we look at behavior. we use that behavior as a signal to add to relevance. we need to constantly show we are not adding our bias which i fully admit is more left leaning. >> does that confirm what the president is saying? >> i don't think that necessarily confirms anything. i think they are conceding the employees that work at twitter carry a left-leaning bias. they are working hard to make sure that bias doesn't seep into the policies. conservatives without proof a lot of times say they are discriminated or censored on twitter. there is nothing to back that up. dorsey is committed to conservative voices have a voice on twitter and liberal voices have a voice on twitter. that is to the detriment of twitter. we have seen alex jo

he is giving jack dorsey credit. dorsey said his goal is to gain people's trust.ople upset about what goes on. >> mega-church pastor greg laurie was forced to take down this billboard that shows him holding a bible. these billboards were promoting a popular religious festival coming up later this month, hanging inside a mall in orange county, california. the festival organizers were told to remove the religious imagery from billboards but they were taken down and the festival was refunded. john collins, executive director of the harvest crusade says it is sad our culture is that this degree of intolerance, such intolerance against christianity, we are not allowed to state that are publicly advertised this event. a lot on social media are concerned as well, kathy says i should be shocked but in today's world nothing shocks me. another calling it ridiculous, so tired of everybody being offended and taking away our rights to freedom of speech. greg laurie is going to be on "fox and friends" this morning at 6:45 eastern time. if you have questions about this story i a

how would you grade jack dorsey based on that interview and the actions he's taken in recent weeks?actually admire jack dorsey, i've been a critic of the way twitter per conveys hatd disinformation but jack's interviews both with lester holt, "the washington post" and the hill showed somebody who's willing to get out there, provide some thoughtful leadership, and really most importantly question the very basic premise of twitter, which is that it's supposed to provote you to be more engaged and he's saying we have got to find ways to make the foundation of twitter less divisive and less uncivil that's a difficult job and i applaud him for getting right out there and saying we're rethinking things. >> we're not talking about social media and the role it plays in terms of content curati curation, one of the things about twitter, and we make the same argument about twitter as well if you cut down on the trolls, you cut down information from the bad actors, you cut down on revenue? >> i think more serious changes need to come i think it's laughable that dorsey is getting up there to say

it feels like jack dorsey and by the way breaking news jack dorsey now we know he will testify beforegress. the date wasn't hammered down we know now. how important is it for them to get this right not just the midterm elections but to figure out how to stop censoring certain americans? >> it's incredibly important because they are trying to get rid of the fake stories from russian bots versus making sure they aren't censoring things that americans are writing and conservatives are writing. jack was talking to "cnn" last weekend and he said something that i thought was really concerning. he said they were actually trying to measure people's conversations. i don't know how you have the ability to measure it it based on censoring and shadow banning conservatives i'm worried the help of conversations means conservative thought is going to be considered unhealthy but i'm looking forward to jack's testimony to see how he plans on making sure this platform is dedicated to promoting a culture free speech. >> i had an occasion to spend some time with jack dorsey and i've got to tell you i thi

we spoke to her about jack dorsey's defense. ms.ao: it feels like he is standing on his own, that he feels like he can change twitter without following what other platforms are doing and without learning. we have learned so much in the past five years. he is not incorporating any of that, building empathy for the people being harassed on his platform. instead, he believes they should be a free-for-all on twitter that he can somehow control and manage. emily: it seems to revert to some of the press that twitter has made. ms. pao: it really surprises me. i have seen people leaving the platform. i haven't decided for sure that i will leave but i'm not tweeting. i don't feel at participating anymore. you feel like you are contributing to this site that is allowing harassment, allowing this hate speech and harassment that comes from it and contributed to it if you are participating in it. emily: despite the fact that facebook -- facebook, google, spotify -- the app info wars is rocketing up the app charts. it is more popular than cnn, fo

liz: that's jack dorsey, ceo of twitter. company is left-leaning like a lot of companies in silicon valley. remember facebook's mark zuckerberg also said the same, that silicon valley is left-leaning. he did that in testimony before congress. take a check of stock in twitter. it is up almost 5%. we're bringing in conservative veteran former u.s. special forces jim hanson. what did twitter do with you? what do you say about twitter? >> well, it is not just me. they implemented what they called a quality filter that allow as liberal mob to attack conservative accounts, using some of the tools twitter built them, including these mass block lists where the liberals have gathered hundreds of thousands of conservative accounts. twitter built them a tool, with one push of a button they can block those accounts, twitter counts that as a black market against the account. they use it as heckler's veto. it affects republican politicians, their accounts are not being seen as much as their democrats opponents. at some level, twitter is c

what will he be asking jack dorsey? that is next.his is bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg technology. i'm emily chang. president trump has been fretting -- focusing his ire on tech giants. he didn't let up thursday night at a rally in evansville indiana. >> look at social media. thing called free speech rights. you look at google facebook twitter and other social media giants. i have made it clear that we as a country cannot tolerate political censorship, blacklisting, and rate search results. comee president's comments ahead of wednesday's hearings on capitol hill where facebook the 00 and twitter coo will appear. they will appear before the house energy and commerce committee. representative reinke seller joins us now. -- brian costello. what do you make of the censorship and free speech and the issue that has been dogging these companies? the presidentings deciding comes with no evidence. it is a fairat characterization of where we are. politicalization of what it does and does not go into the algorithms and the content judgment call

jack dorsey is the ceo of twitter. i really appreciate you coming on because i'm sure this is probably the last thing you want to do, is come on my radio program. but i appreciate you coming on and answering the questions. >> thank you, sean, first for the opportunity to talk with your listeners and also getting a picture of the complexities we're facing. this is definitely not easy but we're trying to approach this with a very simple principle. how do we earn more trust? and the way for us to earn more trust around how we make decisions, the algorithms that help us enforce these decisions is try to be as open as possible about them. >> jack dorsey on the sean hannity show. the "wall street journal" says the san francisco office of the s.e.c. is interested in talking to elon musk about his claim that he has funding to take tesla private. not an investigation, but the series and exchange commission would like to see evidence musk really does have the money set up. musk had tweeted tuesday, funding secured. now, if you'r

charles: i have met with jack dorsey twice. i feel like when i talk to him, particularly last time just him and i. he sounded sincere. having said that, he acknowledges something is wrong, and i think he wants to fix it. how come you think others like liberals say conservatives stop imhiening. stop -- stop whining. >> i think shelby's analysis was clear. it's impossible to know if google, anybody who is a writer who wants to boost the coverage of google, good luck. facebook, i know david's experience, and you have got to look at that and say there is something functiony there. the only one you can test out as an individual is twitter. i have looked at some of the conservatives i know who file they have been mistreated and tried to match it with well-known liberals. i find that in some cases, i don't find it in others. i suspect with twitter it's not purposeful but there is something 0 wrong. charles: should government get involved? >> government is trying hard to get involved given it's a republican government. we'll see you if

and jack dorsey, the ceo of twitter said we do not take action based on specific ideas.if we're suspending someone temporarily, taking away their account it's based on their behavior and violations of rules, not on whether they lean left or right. but i do think this rallying cry that they're trying to silence us, it's a very powerful rallyinging cry on the right. it's a version of saying the media is biassed against conservatives. and now it's the tech companies are biassed. now what dorsey said was we have to be more transparent, meaning twitter how they make their decisions. we're talking about complaints on the left. sometimes they're saying why isn't he violating your rules? here's what he says about the president's twitter account. >> you've been public about the policy of world leadsers, keeping accounts up that otherwise might get suspended or blocked. what would president trump have to say on tweuter to get blo blocked? >> stepping back we think it's really important for the world to see how global leaders think and act and treat the people around them. we think

are we getting paid to clean of twitter for jack dorsey?: we are getting paid -- one of the classic arguments that not just twitter makes is if there is something out there that is wrong on the internet, other people have to get out there and say what's right and make it clear so that they can use that content to refute what was wrong before. those tech companies always say that type of thing. i think that has some validity. i think jack has also tried to avoid falling into a trap with conservative commentators on twitter over the last year or so. they basically say, oh, you are limiting our free speech, it is a first amendment issue, and you shouldn't be allowed to do that. with that decision so far, he has taken the opposite tack. carry on. he is basically saying, maybe not just journalists, but everyone else on twitter, if you feel strongly about it, you can get on twitter and refute what he is saying. emily: twitter has made many mistakes over the years, not making it clear what the rules actually are, then being capricious about how th

emily: both of their points of view make clear what twitter and jack dorsey are facing on the right,have folks on the left saying, how could you not ban alex jones, how could no one flagged that? selina: jack dorsey has admitted their employment base is primarily left-leaning, liberal, young people working at their offices. that's why they are taking all these steps to create these rules, so they can combat these biases and try to make as clear-cut decisions as possible. on the other hand, trying to come up with these universal rules about what is abuse, harassment, hate speech, that's a very difficult, fuzzy thing to define, and the moment they rule -- roll out these policies, there will be thousands of edge cases that don't violate those rules, but clearly are something many believe they should take action on. they are in a difficult situation where they are trying to be unbiased, but by making policies that are unbiased, they run into a host of other issues. emily: he talked about a lot of the things the twitter does badly, but is there any indication anything will change? selina:

today jack dorsey told me why his company is alow taking action. well jones on twitter posted this week what essentially is a video calling for people to get their battle rifles ready against the media saying it's time to e act, it's got to done now. >> people need to have their battle rifles everything ready at their bedsides and you got to be re y. >> sent a chill up my spine, how about yours? >> it did. there is a number of actions that we believe help a call to incitement of violence e and those are things that we need to make sure that we are taking action on. >> you've taken action against him in this instance. can you tell us what it is? pu >> i believe w him in a time-out, removing his ality to tweet for a time period. >> that period just seven days and presumably after that, jones will be back. a time-out seems min compared to the implications of someone suggesting a to arms against a particular group in this case, the media. how do you respond to that? >> well, i feel any suspensionwhether it be a permanent or temporary one and make someo

twitter ceo jack dorsey sat down with cnn's brian stelter to set the record straight. >> the presidenthe truth around that idea? >> so, i think a lot of the statements behind the statement or the question behind the question is, look, shadow banning is a very widely defined term. there's not one single definition, so the definite that we found that seems to resonate with the most people is, you know, not amplifying particular messages or if someone puts out a tweet, hiding that tweet from everyone without that person who tweeted it knowing about it. so -- but the real question behind the question is, are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints, and we are not. period. we do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint or ideology. we look at behavior. and we use that behavior as a signal to add to relevance. we need to constantly show that we are not adding our own bias, which i fully admit is left -- is more left-leaning, and i think it's important to articulate our bias and to share it with people so that people understand us, but we need to remove

twitter ceo jack dorsey defending his company amid accusations of censorship. ident and republican lawmakers have recently criticized twitter saying it is engaged of shadow banning of right wing users yesterday dorsey called in to sean hannity's radio show to refute those accusations >> we do not shadow ban according to ideology or content, period. ef mod every model on the network really looks at behaviors on the network. we take those behaviors as signals. i want to point out these signals involve minute by minute, hourly hour. these are not scarlet permanent letters that people then take on as a badge and will never be ranked high in search or not allowed to trend or ranked high in conversation. so these are models that are looking at behaviors and behaviors of bad faith actors who intend to manipulate, distract, divide a conversation or to unfairly amplify their content which they didn't earn >> dorsey's getting it on both sides. the accusations of shadow banning on the right, anger from the left that they're the last major platform not to deplatform alex jo

a fact twitter ceo jack dorsey acknowledges.brian stelter what is broken about twitter and how he plans to fix it. >> there's a lot of emphasis today on politics twitter. politics twitter is divisive and contentious. you see a lot of outrage. if you go to other twitters like nbc twitter or k-pop twitter, you see the opposite. it is important to see the dark areas of society to acknowledge and address them. i think the only way to address is through conversation. it is hard especially when it feels toxic and you want to walk away. we give people one tool right now which is to follow an account. >> you want people to follow stories or subjects or hash tags? >> we have been focusing the service today more toward topics and interests. >> it sounds like you are ready and willing to rebuild the house. renovate. >> we are ready to question everything. >> dorsey added he needs to overhaul the fundamentals of twitter, but did not commit to a ti timetable. >>> a somber sunday for catholics in pennsylvania. a report detailing hundreds of p

out of twitter couple weeks ago i saw people on twitter saying they wanted to burn the t-shirts jack dorseye, because he was easy on the conservatives. the conservatives are saying they have been shadow banned by twitter. liberals are mad they're too nice to conservatives and conservatives are mad that they're not nice enough to conservatives, how does twitter win. >> they don't. the problem is, what's fascinating to me, people that say they can't speak never seem to shut up there are plenty of places to talk on the internet it is kind of interesting. again, people make this argument that twitter is not a company but a nation state almost. what was interesting, i asked mark zuckerberg this specifically, people think you're a nation state when i did the podcast with him he said no, we're a company. if they're a company, they should have responsibility over the platforms, and people are trying to conflate the idea of private companies with government and everything else, and it creates a giant mess. fact of the matter is they could police and do police it, they rank people down you could call

>> looks like jack dorsey is looking at when to suspend him here. he's no able to retweet the next seven days. >> exactly. twitter has long been a place where they have been very focused on keeping the open public square opened. what is interesting from lester's interview is he asked of people of large followings and many other celebrities are being held to a higher standard because of the voice they have out there. >> yeah. if you got followers, you make a call to incite violence, it is different when you have a million. i don't know how many he has but it is a lot. >> about a million followers out there and jack dorsey, the ceo of twitter telling lester that they have a public interest clause in their rules to hold some of these people to a higher standard. here they seem to be moving very gingerly as if there is something else going on. twitter has been known as a company as i have covered them not to follow what facebook or google or apple do. they are definitely doubling down on that. of a lot of the bans happened well over a week ago. >> it is

this follows several days of public backlash for twitter and jack dorsey after their decision not to remove him from the platform earlier jon jones-drew a link and he will be on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt tonight, dorsey is how do you judge what punishment's appropriate for jones or any user on this platform now >> twitter is late to the party on this. he was suspended first by apple, which is kind of interesting. >> spotify. >> and spotify and google and facebook it's interesting to know that while they have semisuspended him, they have not suspended info wars, the website twitter of all the social networks is the one that's most reluctant to be seen as -- they did suspend him because of inciting violence. they are going to continue it and say all these crazy things they need to say it goes back up to this fundamental issue which is this technology company or are they media companies? if they were a media company, there would be no question that you won't see that kind of talk on cnbc.com or "the new york times".com or any of the real media companies. so they continueto bat

ceo jack dorsey could potentially speak in september.ill share anything about that? do you think he will testify? what could we possibly hear about testimony coming from him? >> we don't know what jack door sis is going to say, but i say jack dorsey will push back against government intervention but he admitted to another network, essentially the people within twitter that regulate the information are essentially millenial progressives who despise conservatives. i don't know what it is twitter is going to do. hopefully better angels of twitter realize it is not good to be biased towards one side. hopefully the better angels of capitalism will make it a more even playing field. kristina: there was a "new york post" columnist today said facebook, i know you know the story, censored her story. this is an example, yes. are there enough examples showing conservatives overall have been censored? do you think there is leg up there to go against the social media companies? >> if you see what happened to the "new york post" columnist, she wrote a

jack dorsey from twitter is coming to washington to testify.tough do you think they will be on him? >> i think they will be pretty tough but also to respect him because he did show up. that means something. by the way, jack dorsey, there's issues a twitter and mostly it's recognized but he's been pretty honest and forthright. more than many of the ceos insane we tend to lean left and i thought that was refreshingly honest, on his part, to recognize that the culture within his company is certainly left leaning. i don't think anybody says jack, we want you to hire an equal number of conservatives. that would be nice but it will never happen. as a matter of making the proper agnostic when it comes to politics. cheryl: i think there certainly a pressure to do so but we'll see how their spot. it'll be interesting to hear testimony of a cut to be, thank you. >> great to be with you, cheryl. cheryl: well, at the top of the hour president trump is set to speak shortly at any moment. he has a big announcement today from the roosevelt room on combating y
