he finished a meeting with senator josh holly, one of the loudest voices who have been calling for a against the company for what they see as conservative bias on the platform. holly has called for a third party audit of facebook to prove that they aren't biased against conservatives. right now, though, he is meeting with senator tom cotton, another senator that has been vocal on these issues. he wrapped up earlier today a meeting with senator mike lee. mike lee spokesperson gives us this statement saying that they talked about a lot of issues including antitrust enforcement, data privacy and of course conservative bias. last night zuckerberg spent a lot of time with democratic senators including senator mark warner, but also senator richard blumenthal who has publicly called for the company to be broken up, saying there is no -- there's not enough oversight for these companies. he was asked if zuckerberg was able to change his mind against a possible break up of facebook and blumenthal says they still have a long way to go. >> even though we may differ, i was very impressed by the th

across both party lines is our call for lawmakers ranging from house speaker nancy pelosi to senator josh holly and outspoken tech credit in that section 230 needs to change. some people are suggesting it should be limited it completely and some lawmakers are suggesting it to be modified or tweaked but it is certainly one thing that is against party lines. i honestly on section 2301 interesting thing here is on the one hand you have fire furcation of the internet where in the conversations on the one hand you have these fringe nonrelated [inaudible] and with this french website that has come to be seen as a briefing ground for mystic terrorism and online violence and it was the place where several gunmen on several occasions posted allegedly posted on race manifest with mass shootings. on the other side you had mentioned platforms like facebook, google, twitter and for all the talk of the chance being french and not mainstream for the talks on big tech companies saying that using terms or blanket terms like social media or internet when were talking about violence online is unfairly grouping th

actually had senator josh holly talk about this. part of what he said in the hearing about what is going on. i am concerned that these turf wars are leading to lack of enforcement. they are not able to get after the business that you should be getting after, doing the job you should be doing, and maybe it is time for this congress to do something about it. david: it is an interesting point. if you are a company with business in front of the ftc or department of justice, as is the way getting answers to your questions, whether they are good or bad answers. it is taking time, effort, and resources. they both said that they need more resources, which they are lacking to begin with. doingannot be investigations if they are battling clearance. these mergers would get filed, there is 30 days, there is some time to convince the agencies that the merger is not problematic, but during those days they are fighting out clearance. if the 30 days expires without the company having an presentity, they cannot to the ftc or doj. david: they have al

office to office in the capitol starting the day with senator mike lee and then stopped by senator josh holly'she ceo to his face that to prove his platform isn't rigged against conservatives, he needs to open it up to a third party audit and to also prove that he is not anti-competitive, he needs to sell off some of his most popular apps. >> the way he can show he's trying to do better is to sell instagram and what's app to submit to an independent third party audit. i think he was taken offguard and he thought that was not a great idea. >> reporter: zuckerberg met with mark warren and richard blumenthal, who said big tech, particularly facebook, needs to be broken up because it's too big. when asked if zuckerberg was able to convince him that breakup would be a bad idea over dinner, he said he still has a long way to go. >> well, we had a very serious and positive discussion, even where we differed. and i really welcome the opportunity to sit down with him and try to reach some common ground. >> reporter: while facebook tries to convince lawmakers they're not too big, they're also trying to w

literally >> did you catch him >> we saw him very briefly he is now heading into the office of senator josh holly, a republican, one of the most vocal critics of big tech here on capitol hill. just before he met with senator holly, he also met with senator mike lee of utah, another republican, head of the anti-trust subcommittee in the senate also someone skeptical of the power that big tech wields over our lives. but zuckerberg is here not only to speak to republicans but also offer an olive branch to democrats as well. he had dinner last night with senator mark warner of virginia. they talked about data protection, election security and talked about competition now mark warner was on cnbc earlier today and said that zuckerberg appeared to be more humble, he understand that a new era of legislation and regulation could be coming and he said that the days of the wild, wild west on the internet are over and he wanted to convey that to zuckerberg we know that zuckerberg has been trying to meet with senators individually in their home offices as well. he met with mike shots of hawaii in his office a

then he had face time with one of the loudest facebook skeptics, senator josh holly that called for a that they're not biassed against conservatives. holly caught zuckerberg off caught with his questions. >> the way he can show is he's doing better is to sell instagram and what's app. he's taken off guard and he felt that was not a great idea. >> last night zuckerberg met for hours with mark winner and richard blumenthal who wants football to be broken up because he thinks big tech is too big. when zuckerberg was asked if a breakup would be a bad idea, blumenthal says he has a long way to go before he changes his mind. >> even though we may differ, i was very impressed by the thoughtful comments on privacy and i'm hoping we can work together even though we may differ on other areas. >> neil, there's a lot of concern that facebook is getting too big and a lot of skepticism also on the hill for facebook's latest venture into cryptocurrency with their new currency, libra. a lot of people in congress not sold on that idea, neil. >> neil: thanks very much. earlier on fox business, i had a

when you had josh holly present legislation that would literally limit the infinite scrolling and other things, they're probably saying if these little things are going to be targeted, better for us to get ahead of it before it deals a blow to our business. >> of all the things to target, it would seem the least objectable when it comes to facebook >> target infinite scrolling >> wonder if they target privacy and -- >> that's a good question. >> protect our accounts, okay. leave the likes alone. >>, t the nfl is teaming up wit tick talk. a huge hit with gen-x. the third most downloaded app and the partnership with the nfl inudesighlights and behind the scenes footage since i'm trying to figure out tiktok, it is, this is where the energy is for the gen-z. >> what makes tiktok great is it is home produced and very amateur and very rough and kind of the knight watchmen doing a dance. >> can you do likes? >> probably. but the idea that you could have a corporate like the nfl sort of gather momentum on that, that is a big ask. i'm not sure it is going to work >> kids playing football, the pa

josh holly is one of those. he met with a bunch of democratic senators last night. what's most notable to me is big tech for a long time has been frustrated with washington. they see themselves as the idea generators, the engines of the economy and all washington does is want to stop them. you often see people like mark zuckerberg shun washington and only come when they have to. this is a new strategy. this is him on his own deciding to do some of these private meetings. it's straight out of the playbook that lobbying, a lot of older, bigger companies do. they know they need relationships here because they're going to be under attack and it's not going to stop any time soon. >> anna, zuckerberg's appearance today notwithstanding, how robust by someone who coffers the hill, how robust is their lobbying team? do we know? >> absolutely. facebook has a massive lobbying operation. i think ever since the antitrust battles that microsoft had with the department of justice, a lot of tech companies, as they get larger, have to beef up. they have a big washington office here.

>> we just heard from senator josh holly who brought up the project to the bruce hoffman who is testifyingefore the senate judiciary committee in this digital platform competition hearing and hoffman told holly that information like that, that snap allegedly has on facebook, that they tried to force their hand into selling out and then threatening, basically to use a number of tactics to copy their platform if they don't agree to sell to facebook. that's exactly the information that they are looking for as they are pursuing a number of probes into anticompetition questions surrounding digital tech firms. that's an interesting nugget. we also are waiting to hear from snap ceo evan spiegel who is expecting to take the stage. he might have some remarks or being asked some questions about this project, that they aejedly -- allegedly have on facebook. we also heard from the vp of global affairs say this, quote, but one of the things i find striking is that the only jurisdiction where the debate at the moment is focused on a possible prospect of breaking up facebook, or indeed other big tech com

zuckerberg is scheduled to meet with senator josh holly, who has been a huge advocate for big tech regulationd nbc news is reporting he is going to meet with huff intelligence chair adam, house intelligence share adam schiff. it comes two days after facebook calls for an independent supreme court where users can review decisions about what facebook takes down or leaves up online. >> the federal reserve changes from rates amid global economic slowdown that many contribute to the u.s.-china trade war. we have more from london. what do you make of the decision by the fed? and i'm curious to get your thoughts on, we talked about the u.s.-china trade war being a factor, how much of it also includes the president's nonstop bashing of the feds and the chair? >> well, a lot to unpack there. >> you have 30 seconds. >> i know, right? you have given me some time here. this is not a surprise, the rate cut, right? there was not a huge market reaction to it, though. and i think, based on what i've been reading over the last 24 hours, the major reason for that is because the rate committee at the fed was qu

if you do that you have to call on josh holly. but he uses the term cosmopolitan. and then he says no no no. phil wouldn't it be better than that cracks it would be essential we are better than that. >> we cannot get to our questions. we will have you knock it out in 30 or 45 seconds. >> i will tell you what i have been trying to do in this difficult environment. number one, be clear, careful, precise in my own belief and understanding. number two, try not to ascribe motives there are people who engage in a pattern of behavior and at a certain point you say if they are not interested in changing then i can infer something. but don't jump and this is a political conversation we want more of. 's a part of what has been so difficult about her democratic conversation in the last years is we have this assumption from economics that good money drives out bad money but it turns out in politics that's not true. discourse doesn't drive out if you just leave it to the market and especially the social media market the polarized, the extreme and the outrageous charges that is

to office, in the capitol starting the date with senator mike lee and then stopped by senator josh holly'sis face that to prove his platform isn't rigged against conservatives. he needs to open it up to a third party audit and also prove he's not anti-competitive, he needs to sell-off some of his most popular apps. >> the way that he can show he's trying to do better is to sell instagram and what's app and submit to an independent third party audit. i think he was a little taken off guard and i think that he thought that was not a great idea. >> last night zuckerberg met for hours at the dinner with democrats in the senate including senator mark warner who has been very outspoken about his opinion saying big tech particularly facebook needs to be broken up because it's too big, but when asked if zuckerberg was able to convince him, that a breakup would be a bad idea over dinner he says he still has a long way to go. >> well, we had a very serious and positive discussion, even where we differ, and i really welcome the opportunity to sit down with him and try to reach some common ground. >>

kara: i think josh holly wants to get rid of it. >> yes, it has been chipped away at. it is like a straight up reversal. kara: it is ridiculous. he is a smart enough person to know what he is doing. by -- been chipped away over issues of sex trafficking and pornography, and slowly, it is getting stripped away. away,k if it goes facebook will be sued out of existence presumably, and so will the other online services, because nobody will be able to afford the massive amount of legal -- the lawyers would just attack, which would not be good for the internet. but the question is, what is their responsibility, and what can government to regulate further versus taking away the immunity. sanford: what is facebook doing about this? lori: we did support the sex kara ising bill that referencing, however, for us, it goes back to, if you continue to chip away at section 230, he eventually enter the world that she is talking about, where will have an academy hard time moderating content in a way that is effective. you can look at other countries around the world where we have to de
