the ceo mark zuckerberg has too much control? one person trying to change the power dynamic.ellie bob is considering a mega deal that will bring china's largest constant -- open a closer to investors. a second public listing. saysi founder and ceo there is no need for negotiation in the face of u.s. trade sanctions. more from our interview with huawei headquarters in shenzhen. facebook investors are looking to shake up the social media giant and with it, mark zuckerberg's voting power. but the proposal can't face without the support of the founder and ceo. one investor who has been tirelessly trying to push for changes, the ceo of northstar asset management which owns 12,000 shares. goodrich submitted a proposal for the fifth straight year suggesting they change their voting structure which gives zuckerberg absolute control despite owning a minority of shares. facebook has gotten itself into a lot of control over the past couple of years. we own as much as 50,000 shares over the time since the company went public. i think this is an opportunity for shareholders to weigh in an

mark zuckerberg said they would vote against it. we know how it plays out. emily: many put forth these to make some sort of statement but in this case what is the point? david: the point is to make a fundamental argument for what could reform this company's governance, and it is stunning 83% of the shareholders that are independent voted to support this last year. that is unusual in corporate governance that independent shareholders would be that much in favor of anything. there is obviously extremely strong opinion among shareholders for not affiliates of mark zuckerberg that this is a change that needs to be made. there is a wide and growing view that even beyond facebook, super voting shares are one of the reasons we have a view of silicon valley as increasingly irresponsible. uber is another company where after they eliminated shares they got rid of travis kalanick. there are plenty of cases where this has caused problems. if i was a shareholder who spoke, i don't believe it is either or, that you have a dictator or you just have to be a slavish follower

private is the future of facebook, according to mark zuckerberg.t in the past but at this event, he offered a few more details of exactly what that future might mean. it starts in the short term with a complete redesign of facebook‘s main service. there's going to be more emphasis on groups, more emphasis on private interactions, things that facebook the company can't even read itself, messages between users talking about whatever they like. and the big news is, it will no longer be blue. but facebook is going to have to show that this is more than simply a paintjob to avoid some of its current problems. mark zuckerberg did say during his speech that the company didn't exactly have a great reputation for privacy right now, but that it was working hard to regain some of that trust. of course, this is going to be a pretty big ask. it's got to do that while being seen to innovate. there is a room here full of thousands of developers looking to see what they can build on facebook, and how facebook is staying ahead of the competition. that is becoming m

>> the fact that mark zuckerberg does not have to do anything and no, he hasn't shown a plan to actiont at least talked about the broad strokes of a plan to change the company, i think, quite interesting, and you have to give zuckerberg some credit because, again, as you said, this is not a half-do. this is something he's doing because he sees the future >> thank you very much ed lee, paul meeks, we appreciate your time >>> the world's largest vacation ownership and exchange company making a big bet on attracting millennials to properties. the windom destination coming up and then falling as trade tensions with china continue to simmer but iitea ts rdyo rebound? that is next man: stand up if you are a first generation college student. stand up if you're a mother. if you are actively deployed, a veteran, or you're in a military family, please stand. the world in which we live equally distributes talent. but it doesn't equally distribute opportunity, and paths are not always the same. i'm so proud of you, dad! man: i will tell you this, southern new hampshire university can change the wh

this is bloomberg. ♪ emily: mark zuckerberg's control over facebook was the focus of this year's annualholder meeting, but unsurprisingly efforts to check the ceo's power failed. investors rejected all eight proposals, half of which were aimed at limiting zuckerberg's power, including a proposal to change the company's dual class voting structure and elect an independent chair. zuckerberg himself holds the majority of the company's most powerful shares. joining us to discuss, bloomberg's kurt wegner and shira ovide. you listened to the whole meeting. set the scene for us, including the words "fire zuckerberg" projected on the side of a hotel? kurt: also a group with a big hot air balloon with an angry face emoji on it. some people in the room said it was tense, it was sober, and so i think that you could tell just by the questions that were asked and statements that people made that there are a lot of angry people at facebook right now, and a lot of people who want to have more or better answers from mark zuckerberg and sheryl sandberg. aily: shira, investors asked zuckerberg several ti

it's far far too powerful and most importantly, ceo mark zuckerberg is not accountable. >> reporter: chris hughes was hisro ommate. >> the first accounts for facebook, as one two, three, were test accounts mark was user four, i s user five. >> reporter: what is your motivation to >>eak out now. there is add line headline of a privacy scandal and i'm hungry at mark and for take somethingso that held much promise and could have been so amazing and sacrificing quality, security, civil vicinity forck cli >> reporter: hughes left the company in 2007 and sold all facebook stock in 2012, making $500 million. are you saying now that you have regrets? >> i am disappointed in myself that in the early days i didn't and we didn't thinouk about how news feed, for instance could empower nationalist leaders. >> reporter: in a scathing op ed, he calls it a mo notary public l-- maonopoly. >> people started competitorokto facebo over the past few years and facebook either acquires them when they are too small or copies the technology out right. >> reporter: now, hughes is calling for the government to

no one elected mark zuckerberg.o one elected the founders of google.and yet they dominate the public square in every country they operate in. there's no, billy pete and chris's focus is we have to get rid of that. the reason we want antitrust law is monopolies have the ability to block startups from creating new ideas.google, facebook, microsoft and amazon are blocking any startup that threatens their business. we have to change that. maria: the make you take though, san francisco becomes the first city to ban the use of facial recognition technology. your reaction? >> we do have a conversation nationally about where the lines are going to be relative to private spaces. are we going to have any place that we can go where people are not looking and are not listening? product like alexa, with facial recognition built into pokcmon go in all of these other things, you're having your life invaded. without your awareness. and what the city of san francisco is doing in my opinion is starting the conversation. they are sayi

>> to be clear, the committee is separate from mark zuckerberg's leadership sort of a separate entitye company. zuckerberg would be an officer that would be sort of reporting to in some ways while reporting to the board keep in mind, the privacy assessor would have to be approved by the federal trade commission and some ability to say, hey, they've chosen someone to work in that oversight role and that person is not acceptable to us the zuckerberg inclusion in that power structure is important in the added responsibilities placed on him rather than additional powers placed on him. >> ryan, just all makes me think it entrenches facebook as a way of our bureaucracy i don't know how else to put it. what does it mean for let's say competitors or upstarts or is it just going to be a long period, frankly, of us working out what regulation and best practices look like for a brand-new industry >> it certainly are signs that the social media world is maturing notable example of where the government began to get involved where the microsoft anti-trust settlement was reached ultimately involved

-and you also poke fun at mark zuckerberg, as well. he's not spared.our book includes a so-called foreword from him where he says, first, give me all of your personal information." it's kind of a funny line until you think about, you know, the data breach they jt had recently affecting 50 million users. -yeah. you know, there's so many times you'll wte something, and you'll think it's absurd and ridiculous or whatever, and then something real life will happen. it's like, "oh, i guess it wasn't that absurd after all." -we livelitically turbulent times right now. does that make satire easier, since you seem to have no shortage of targets nowadays? -satire is easy always because there's always terrible people. there's always awful things going in the world, and the point of satire is to point those things out with humor. underneath, humans are alwae pretty awful to each other, so there's going to be plenty to satiri. and, you know, what's worse is when things are so absurd that the satire you write just comes true all the time. you think you're writing so

call to break up facebook coming from a cofounder of the social net work chris hughes who helped mark zuckerberg launch facebook from a college dorm room writes, zuckerberg is quote unchecked power and influence far beyond anyone else in the private sector or in government. hughes says facebook should be forced to reverse its acquisitions of instagram and what's app. he says in part i'm worried that mark has surrounded himself with a team that reinforces his beliefs instead of challenging them. >> every single time there's some new headline about a privacy scandal or an election that's going on, i do feel a sense of responsibility. i'm angry at mark and i'm angry at a lot of facebook's leadership for taking something that held so much promise and could have been so amazing and sacrificing quality, security, stability, for clicks. >> wow, hughes left facebook in 2007 and sold all of his sock in 2012, pocketing a half billion dollars. facebook responding quote, it accepts that with success comes accountability but you don't enforce accountability by calling for the breakup of a successful american

what is mark zuckerberg telling you about wh'ry the doing this? uckerberg would say it's all about privacy, but one thing you have to understand about mark zuckerberg is he's a master of following trends and gettng credit for leading those trends. first of all, tim cook, appo.le c.has been talking about privacy for a while, and if you're an iphone user communicating with another iphone user, your messages are alread encrypted. whatsapp which facebook owns is already encrypted because former founder who left the company in frustration believed in inscription. the other thing is facebook is trying to restore its reputation with the public so it makes sense to talkbout privacy. remember this is a person who ten years ago said privacy is dead and everything should be public. so it's definitely a 180 for the company anduc zkerberg, but there's a little bit of a bait an switch here, but just to remember, facebook owns instagram, facebook owns facebook, and instagram is growing like garsngbus and instagram is a pulic socl network. so they're not saying we

it is not clear beyond that if you just have issue ads illegal under current law mark zuckerberg has complained about this and it is a danger about general political speech when in fact be taken down as illegal when they weren't. remember despite all of the hysteria we've had the last couple of years we've been dealing with this issue in the united states for 80 years back to when -- were running around in the 1930s. very of noxious policies obviously. since then with exceptions the general policy has been disclosure not suppression of speech. government. in this city people go around all the time advocating for foreign nationals. they have to disclose that, the russians have an entire television network working inside the united states which no one really paid attention and doubted it was a russian propaganda but a couple of years ago it was disclosed it was a russian agent essentially and yet still continues to be somewhere in the 300s on the cable channel and it runs right through the elections and it seems to be sustainable. companies are doing a lot here and one of the problems

keep in mind that nobody voted for mark zuckerberg. he is 34 years old.e is completely cut off from reality. he is worth $72 billion. yet, he can single-handedly make the first amendment irrelevant after 250 years. here is the most amazing thing of all. the media thinks that is great. journalists are supposed to defend free speech. you would think that is their job since they make a living from it. when corporate america issues an order and mark zuckerberg says jump, the question is how high, mr. zuckerberg? listen to them celebrate mark zuckerberg and sell you out completely. >> why are they doing this now? >> well, that is a good question to why they waited this long. >> yes. exactly. >> so jones has been banned from facebook for a long period of time. but now they banned him and they banned his underling. >> kick him off the platform. great for now but it doesn't roll back the clock. >> you have the first and the second amendment right now and i don't think that the forefathers said well, you can say all sort of hateful things and spread it around the

that is exactly what mark zuckerberg has called for."ator mike, the republican who chairs the banking committee and the top democrat, sherrod brown, want facebook to answer questions about the data sharing practices and consumer privacy protections. plus, the mechanic senator richard blumenthal wants antitrust investigation >> facebook should be broken up because it has misused its monopoly power to stifle competition and subjugate innovation. >> dagen: david, where do you think this goes? elizabeth calling for breakup. clearly there's a problem because facebook has not been good at self regulating so so . >> david: may be just being more of a realist, neither side is going to do a darn thing about facebook. they really aren't. you see here, mr. stallone valor, he was a field attorney general. elizabeth warren is going to feel under presidential bid. republicans and democrats don't want to go into election season with a fight with facebook, that's what's going to happen. if you want the reason why this happens versus other companies, whe

mark zuckerberg met with president emmanuel macron on friday. ago and tried to come up with some kind of regulation. for seven months, french regulators were allowed into the face of offices in paris, dublin, and barcelona to observe facebook's extremist, sexist, and homophobic content online. french experts or not convinced and say that new legislation needs to be put in place. something similar they say to the banking system, one measure could force social media to delete unlawful content within 24 hours or face heavy fines. the french president wants to take the lead in what he calls the tech for good initiative, something he says could empower other countries in europe and the rest of the world. this comes at a very critical time just two weeks before the european elections, which have been the target of a series of fake news. it is, of course, another critical time for facebook, as well, just one day after the facebook co-founder called for the break-up of facebook and said mark zuckerberg's drive for growth sacrificed security for clicks.

he alleged mark zuckerberg committed insider trading and that the board took actions that under minedock. >> it's had exposure because one of the things that, you know, we're looking for from our executives and companies is transparency and sort of making timely disclosures around things. >> wednesday's suits follows multiple and perceived steps by the giant. as recently as 2014 facebook has faced fire for a manipulation experiment on a 500,000 unsuspecting users and shared without consent. last year's massive data breach that led to oversight and the looming prospect of a $5 billion fine. >> everybody who has a stake in facebook needs to be concerned when they make a misstep whether they're a stockholder euser or regulator. facebook is not entitled to stay on top forever. >> reporter: facebook didn't address the new lawsuit and they say it is without merit. the rank and file didn't seem concerned. >> reporter: facebook continues to push ahead with changes that will provide greater privacy and security for the users and the public at large. jesse gary, ktvu fox news. >> stocks gave up

ironically this is the one problem mark zuckerberg cannot solve.o come in and break up the company. melissa males that's what he said government solution -- never the solution but is a solution to this. >> well, it's certainly not the solution here. what we have a big company that obviously has messages that are troubling to some. the issue of that idea of free speech and who monitors it, sure, we can have some important government regulation that ensures that facebook is taking important steps to secure things like the safety and security of privacy information. in fact, they have been hit with huge fines and i am sure they will be hit with huge fines in the future if they don't remedy those issues. to say that the government needs to come in and regulate speech that's troubling. >> melissa: let me ask you, back to your other argument that's compelling the idea there is a choice involved to the consumer then by desks it's not a monopoly that needs to be broken up. what about that argument that when other platforms have come along to threaten them

mark zuckerberg, the boss of facebook who is the chairman and chief executive.g share and also his power. he is at the top of the tree and some say actually, we need to re m ove tree and some say actually, we need to remove that from here. but it hasn't gone their way, has it? staying where he is. it's quite normal in other countries that you do have the separation of eeo and shower, but it seems to sort of be a us anomaly that this happens. —— ceo stop weighs it important that this happens? you should have an independent chair who is there to look after the shareholders. so when you have this dual class share situation, mark zuckerberg has 48% of the voting power, but he only owns 13% of the stock. so the rest of the investors aren't really getting the same voting rights and thatis getting the same voting rights and that is a problem. so, at this particular meeting, the shareholders put together a shareholder resolution. so as well as introducing an independent chair, they want facebook to sell off some of it subsidiaries, they also wanted to return to its — mo

that is the future of facebook according to mark zuckerberg.t but at this event, he offered a few more details of exactly what that future might mean. it starts in the short—term with a complete redesign of facebook‘s main service. more emphasis on groups, more emphasis on private interactions, things that facebook can't even read itself, m essa 9 es facebook can't even read itself, messages between users talking about whatever they like and, the big news is, it will no longer be blue. facebook is going to have to show that this is more than simply a paint job that this is more than simply a paintjob to avoid some of its current blooms. mark zuckerberg did say, the company didn't exactly have a great reputation for privacy right now but working hard to regain some of that trust. of course, this is going to be a pretty big ask. it's got to do that while being seen to innovate. there is a room here full of thousands of developers looking to see what they can build on facebook and how facebook is staying ahead of the competition. that's becoming m

that's mark zuckerberg saying he's committed to doing it well and it's a new chapter.ch it was hard to gauge what he was really thinking. that speech it was hard to gauge what he was really thinkingm tends to be the case with mark zuckerberg. i think what we are seeing with these tech companies is that they are showing their core businesses are selling. we are reaching saturation. with facebook ad sales and active monthly users are going up. rate of growth is definitely plateauing and there is greater understanding of the consequences of social media as a platform where it can be used for good and bad. we are entering into ways of these businesses being regulated and less profitable. let's talk about royalty. this is to do with the new emperor naruhito in japan who has been inaugurated today. and you question is not only about royalty but also about the economy. there is a strong argument that the royal family in any country would benefit the economy. is there an economic benefit to royalty? for the uk, you've got to say it's an insane economic benefit. you can stand i

with mark zuckerberg in this role as chairman of the board, ceo, and its most powerful shareholder, hel, and it is really important to recognize that zuckerberg alone cannot fix facebook. there needs to be a diversity of views. carol: that is interesting. do you see any signs -- they certainly have been out there looking to make changes in terms of the information on their site, privacy concerns. do you think they are starting to take steps in the right direction? natasha: i think they are. those are the steps we have been pressing for all this time and you're starting to see it. the question is whether that extra transparency -- and i don't think it is full transparency -- is addressing the underlying issues. with a platform at such a scale, with 2.4 billion users, i don't think they can manage it. carol: where do you think regulators should be on all of this? i think about the structure where you have a cofounder or head of a company able to consolidate so much power. certainly voting power, when it comes republic company. -- a public company. where should the regulators be? -- when

facebook can be fixed with mark zuckerberg still at the helm? you don't address it in your piece. k mark needs to go? >> yeah, some people have asked me that exact question, should he resign? >> i think that what he said more or less, i created this mess. i'm going to fix it. but i think we also need to take a step back and understand, let's say he did step down. he still owns 60% of the voting shares. so he would hire his replacement, effectively. so i don't know what would be much better about having mark as a chairman with a puppeteer as the ceo. i don't think, again, i don't -- i think we always go to how can the private sector solve this? how can facebook just clean up its act? i think it's government that has to step in and be the solution here. >> chris, if you could stick around, i have many more questions to come. we're going to take a quick break. i have more questions for chris, like which presidential candidates, if government is the one who says he needs to come in and fix it, which democratic candidates does he think can get this done? we'll be right back. alright, i
