molly russell‘s story... and that‘s gone. ..has sparked a debate...ound and say to us that they can‘t protect our children? ..that may change social media for good. do you have the power to compel them to do what needs to be done? yes, absolutely. and it‘s also struck a chord with families across the country. like ian and his daughter libby, so horrified by what happened to molly that they‘ve decided to speak out. libby once had 8,000 followers on instagram. 16, and now firmly in recovery, libby used to self—harm, an obsession learned on and fed by the platform. i don‘t think it made me do it, but i think it definitely accelerated the severity of it, because i‘d see people and then you‘d almost go, "that‘s ok, then, it doesn‘t matter how bad it gets because they‘re not dead, it hasn‘t killed them, doing that". so it kind of made it feel more safe to do it worse. her dad tried to get the worst content taken down, but says it was a waste of time. you go, "right, i'll try and get rid of this account, there must be a way to stop it", and there's nothing.

now steve lattick from the university of texas law school and molly ball from time magazine. there's the law and then the politics of the decision. both crucial. steve, i want to start with the law here. tell us what national emergency legislation says specifically about a declaration like this. does it provide any definition, any parameters to define what a president can call or what he needs to say to call it a national emergency? >> the short answer is no. when answer passed the national emergencies act in 1976 the idea is there would be political checks on presidents declaring national emergencies that a large percentage of the american people didn't actually think were emergencies. the statute doesn't define the term emergency. the real fight will be over the specific authority that the president will unlock by declaring a national emergency. we heard joe johns talk about military construction. there is a specific statute that authorizes the use of funds for military construction, but only for specific purposes. i think we are going to see litigation on the question of w
