griff, twitter's ceo, jack dorsey, said the lack of explanation was unacceptable. twitter backed off and said we'll allow hacked material as long as it's not posted by the hackers, put a warning on it. it took two days to apply that to the story. hotchow much of a black eye is s for at whic twitter. >> if jack dorsey and mark zuckerberg wanted to limit people wanting t to look at the story, it ended up amplify it. twitter revised the story,

twitter in a tweet he tweeted about the fact that this was going to be a showdown between him and jack dorseyt did not disappoint in terms of his specific attacks on dorsey for being partisan in the types of content it pulled down. what's been interesting interest this is despite all of the other issues going on, i think twitter has been more in the cross hairs and i think it has really come down to that "new york post" article about hunter biden and the question about which types of content twitter decides to flag and the content they choose not to flag. >> absolutely. we'll see to what degree the other two executives sort of take in that kind of fire that jack dorsey just did as well meantime, as the market goes, the sell-off is kind of in place for now. s&p down about 99 points, germ germ german dax is seeing its worst since march. seema mody has more. >> reporter: today's weakness being led by a notable decline in europe. european stocks trading at their lowest level since april we're seeing weakness across germany, france and spain as we wait for the detailed lockdown proposals to curve

this is ted cruz going after jack dorsey who, by the way, was so arrogant.rogant and condescending and lied? >> yes. lou: i'm told we don't have it yet, so let's turn, if we may, to biden story. what do you think will be the impact? >> oh, i think -- lou: what do you think will be the impact? >> the impact of hunter biden, i think, is going to be quite huge. i know that the mainstream media's trying to avoid this story, but there's no way to avoid the fact that there needs to be a criminal investigation. and this is the reason why we have seen such failures both in the fbi and in the department of justice. we really need criminal investigations and criminal probes into this. look at what they did to the trump administration, going after members of the campaign in 2016 for foreign agent registration act violations when hunter biden never even filled out a fara in recent years and was working with the ukrainians as well as the chinese government. so i think there's going to be a lot more in the near future. lou: sara carter, as always, great to have you with u

jillian: jack dorsey calling the company's communication lapse on the issue unacceptable.s with the details. >> reporter: ceo jack dorsey said the company made a mistake in not explaining why they were blocking the story but that doesn't mean he thinks the company was wrong to block people from posting the store. twitter released more posts saying they took action because it included images that had private information like email addresses. they cited that hacked material policy. facebook limited the hunter biden exposÉ, the story is eligible to be fact checked by facebook, third-party fact checking partners, in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on the platform. and new york post editor posted a tweet that this is a big tech information coup that is a digital civil war. senior policy analyst had this to say earlier in the show? >> thank goodness jack dorsey actually stepped up and put his personal feelings about donald trump aside to hold accountable his own company for a decision that the silencing and censoring the media. we have first amendment rights and pa

so, yesterday, bad news and erroneous news from jack dorsey bass jack dorsey who runs twitter says all they have to do is go and log back in. that's not true. look at the cover of "the new york post." says blackmail. they are saying delete the story, steve. delete the story and you can have your account back. "new york post" is not caving. steve: well, it was such a back and forth between the senators on the commerce committee and jack dorsey and mark zuckerberg who embarrassing could not figure out how to join the zoom call which is funny when he is a guy who runs facebook screen left there and the screen right runs google. nonetheless, the way when jack was asked about why are you censoring the "new york post" story it. looks as though you are trying to protect the bidens. he said no, you know that "new york post" story people can share it. that was not true. brian: not true. steve: then he said if the "new york post" simply goes online and deletes the original tweet, and then posts it again, it will work. but the senators, particularly ted cruz, he was having none of it. it just loo

so is this right, was that right, what do you think >> first thing i would say is i love jack dorseyecause he always seems so surprised that he is the ceo of twitter he wanders in like five minutes late saying what is going on here i was supportive of the initial steps. all it did was slow the spread of reporting and give the truth time to tie its shoes. so you can argue about whether straight up blocking the links is worse than providing context around them, but we've seen in the past that when twitter tries to add konlg texcontext, a put summary that lot of people miss. so i think it remains to be seen whether there is a better policy >> i know people were trying to apply different context and maybe come to conclusions over what might be the facts in story. but if you are going to start slowing stuff down selectively doing it on certain publications about certain politicians and not others is likely to get you in trouble >> likely to get you in less trouble if you block full access to the story what happened with in new york post thing, the piece comes out and we're not sure exactl

as you see here jack dorsey following up with this saying our communication around our actions on thet article was not great and blocking url sharing via tweet or dm with zero context as to why we're blocking, unacceptable. and there is more. the "new york post" just dropping within the hour another article with more alleged emails and data. these pointing to hunter biden seeking a, quote, more lucrative deal with the chinese firm. so here we are, guys, 19 days to go and a big story out of the "new york post" with a lot of questions to be asked. we will find out if anyone asks about it tonight. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: thanks so much, griff. how can george stephanopoulos not ask about this? now, just be prepared, george, if you are watching, although i think he is busy. he starts working next hour. you will get yelled at. because every time you bring up hunter biden you get yelled at and say there is nothing there now you actually have emails there they haven't said yet these are not hunter's emails. this is not him in the video, which is horrendous, you got problems. and you hav

what twitter did, and jack dorsey in his own words, is going forward. they are going to add context to tweets? isn't that the job of the person tweeting tonight's a social media platform. i follow you on twitter. when i want judge jeanine's context on twitter i ask you. f that's your job. judge jeanine: that's why they have to lose their immunity. they are a publisher, they are not a platform. they have taken a position so they lose that position. i want to get your opinion on this. >> what i say to you is i don't know why you are always an apologist and many of your colleagues apoll gists for the republican position. >> i am sensitive to them because i see them beg on the street for food and money. >> have you fed them? we feed them. judge jeanine: she went on even longer saying we feed, we feed them. why are the democrats so angry? >> i see this all the time. having run for office and being in political commentary. you see it when joe biden is asked about hunter biden and he loses his marbles. i have a temper. but the reason you see democrats per pet

unfair that their tweets aren't labeled in the same way it's all of the rubbish and i don't think jack dorsey or twitter or facebook should have that kind of power but they're private companies so they can do what they want well as he said they wield great influence over many millions of people other any laws regulations anything to make sure they have a sense of balance dare i say fair play because of the great influence they have i mean for example in theory if you've got a left leaning or right leaning own or. c.e.o. of a giant social media company what's the stop then just skewing any kind of filtering of stories in the direction that they would like personally where in my personal opinion that is what they do at the moment they push a wote agenda so it's not a certain left or right but it's very much you know climate change very much pushing that way they don't like opposite views to that especially if the views are popular i think you're in the selection they've been trying to well along with the mainstream media especially in our country put down donald trump nearly every hour watched

jack dorsey, well, he apologized for his censorship of "the new york post" story, saying in part in a't stop the rnc from filing done like filing the complaint over twitter's actions, claiming the ban on the story, as you said, is essentially a legal in-kind corporate country into the campaign. mark meadows, white house chief of staff, weighed in. >> if there's any interference in the election, it's by twitter and facebook right now, trying to put a particular narrative out there. they are going to have not only a problem with the american people but they are going to have a problem with congress. this will bring republicans and democrats together to make sure that they once and for all are held accountable for their actions. >> in fact, harris, the senate judiciary will vote tomorrow on whether to subpoena jack dorsey and they are planning for a hearing on friday. back to you. >> harris: will cover it as it happens. jackie, good to see you. thank you. hbo host bill maher stepping up his attacks on supreme court nominee amy coney barrett's religion. and, you know what? he wants democr
