we're trying to understand who advised mr zuckerberg.to protect mr zuckerberg, "stay away from this meeting"? i will take responsibility for decision—making around appearances in front of committees. we just, for the record, have appeared in front of numerous committees this year of different institutions, including mr zuckerberg himself appearing before two congressional committees and the european parliament. peers joined condemnation of russia after it seized three ukrainian naval ships and 23 crew members. the vessels were captured off the coast of crimea, the territory annexed by russia in 2014. ukraine called it an act of aggression by moscow. russia said it was defending its territory, saying the ukrainian ships had illegally entered russian waters. this act by the russians is not, like all the other things they do in eastern ukraine, deniable in any way, because it is an act by the russian navy. and is it not also the case that to use force to enforce a blockade is in fact an act of war? this is no accident of timing. in the krem

mr zuckerberg recognised the company made a huge error in not telling 87 million users that they had by cambridge cnalytica. why did you not inform those 87 million? we did take action. we took down the app, and we demanded that both the app developer and cambridge analytica delete and stop using any data that they had. they told us that they did this. in retrospect, it was clearly a mistake to believe them. next up, he accepted that he was wrong to describe the idea of russian interference in the presidential election as crazy. one of my greatest regrets in running the company is that we were slow in identifying the russian misinformation operations in 2016. intriguingly, zuckerberg seemed to leave open the possibility of moving to a paid service at some point. but his core business model will always be based on our personal data. yes, there will always be a version of facebook that is free. how do you sustain a business model if users don't pay for your services? senator, we run ads. the extraordinary power of these companies stems above all from their ownership of data. today, dat

mr. zuckerberg publicly ridiculed the idea that russia enter feared with the elections frock facebook with the idea that is was a crazy idea. now, i don't pretend to off all the solutions but i select the platforms to work with congress to see can take steps to protect the integrity of our elections and civil discourse in the future. companies like facebook and twitter have taken some helpful voluntary steps but we need to see much more from them and their peers. that's going to require investment in people and technology to help identify misinformation. i put forward a white paper with 20 ideas that lays out some of the policy proposals for addressing this. for example, i think we can all agree we needs start with greater transparency. think human beings ought to have a right to know when they're being contacted own social immediatey, whether that messages actually coming from a fellow human being for from a bot. there's nothing inherently wrong with machine generated information coming to us but we ought to have the knowledge. i have put forward the bipartisan legislation, the honest ads

mr. zuckerberg publicly ridiculed the idea that russia had influenced the u.s. elections, via facebook posts but he basically said the idea that russia intervened was a pretty crazy idea. now, i don't pretend to have all the solutions but i expect these platforms to work with congress so that together we can take steps to protect the integrity of our elections and civil discourse in the future. companies like facebook and twitter have taken some helpful volunteere steps. but we need to see much more from them and their peers. that's going to require investments in people and technology. to help identify misinformation before it spreads widely. now i put forward a white paper with 20 ideas that lays out some of the policy proposals for addressing this. for example, i think we could all agree we need to start with greater transparentsy. i think the human beepings ought to have a right to know when they're being contacted on social media whether that message is coming from a human being or from a bot. there's nothing inherently wrong where machine generated informa

mr. zuckerberg did not do a good job on the hill. i don't know how they're going to get it back. it's a shame to watch. and if old story that when things are at its best you need to be your most paranoid. i think they forgot that. the stocks are down and i suspect it's going to go lower. >> the question is it too late to bring back myspace. they've got serious problems here. i don't think 2019 is going to be enough to fix them. i think eventually we get over it if they do the right things and do the right most. moves. they're in the dog house for a while. >> the lesson is that the ceo should stay out of the spotlight. look at elon musk's fate with some of his tweets and behavior. and larry page has it right, staying out of the spotlight has helped him as being founder of google. >> i would note the difference is, though there was definitely some cases this year of elon musk going damage to the company, including sec fines, he's adding a lot of value by tweeting a lot. he can sell a flame thrower just on a tweet basically. i don't know where this company is benefiting at all from

mr. zuckerberg told us that he was going to stop doing this, and now we find out, yet again, that facebookas sold our private messages to other companies form for bucket loadf money. congress is going to have to regulate him and stop this. i hate to do it but, by god, i will if they can clean up their act. >> harris: alicia acuna alicia acuna is following this story for us. alecia? >> hi, harris. "the new york times" says it obtained hundreds of pages of internal documents from facebook and found that they had special relationships and partnerships and some 150 businesses and companies that allowed them to get around certain privacy rules that other smaller companies were required to comply with. it just one example, quoting from the article facebook allowed microsoft's bing search engine to see the names of virtually all facebook users' friends without their consent. they gave netflix in spotify view ability to read private messages. according to the report, this allowed both sides of these partnerships to grow user bases and advertising revenue. in an interview with the times, facebook's

mr. zuckerberg told us that he was going to stop doing this, and now we find out, yet again, that facebookssages to other companies for bucket loads of money. now, the first time it can be a mistake. the second time, it's a choice. i don't want to have to regulate facebook. but, doggone it, they have to stop doing this. >> harris: bucket loads of cash. the first time, a mistake. the second time -- when is it a crime? >> david: the ftc already put out a consent decree that this contradicts. they say they are going to give out unconsented data harvesting prayer that's a horrible phrase. data harvesting. "the new york times," by the way, has been -- talk about a bucket load -- they're getting a bucket load of really good information about what facebook has been doing behind the scenes. you have to read that stuff. >> harris: that has all the internal back and forth. how these prosecutors at a federal level who would be looking into this? if you lied to them, we've been told that's a crime. >> katie: allegedly. [laughter] >> david: the ftc is a federal organization. i don't know what kind of p

mr. zuckerberg... >> 'sup, zuck?in those days, "move fast and break things" didn't seem to be ciopathic. >> if yore building a product that people love, you can make a lot of mistakes. >> it wasn't that they intended to do harm so much as they were unconcerned about the ssibility that harm woul result. >> so just to be clear, you're not going to sell or share any of the information on facebook? >> we're not gonna shareor people's ition, except for with the people that they've asked for it to be shared.ec >>hnology optimism was so deeply ingrained in the value system and in the beliefs of people in silicon valley... >> we're here for a hackathon, so let's get started. >> ...that they'd co to believe it is akin to the law of gravity, that of co technology makes the world a tter place. it always had, it always will. and that assumption essentially masked a set of changes that were going on in the culture that were very dangerous. ..>> from kxjz in sacramen >> for monday, june 27...to >> nar mark zuckerberg's quest to co

mr. zuckerberg is responsible. he is a bright guy. sometimes -- i know he is smart but sometimes i think he has no sense. and congress is going to have to regulate him and stop this and i hate to do it but by god i will if they can't clean up their act. >> bill: what's wrong with that very popular criminal justice reform bill? how come you voted against it along with tom cotton and others. >> the democrats would have you believe it is just going to help non-violent drug offenders, the guy caught smoking a joint. that's just not true. i'm not going to vote -- i didn't vote -- to allow child molesters and carjackers and robbers out of prison. i just couldn't do that. i remember when -- i remember dr. larry nasser who molested the 13-year-old girls. i'm not saying he would get out under this bill but i'm saying yesterday in conference a question was asked of the bill's proponents will this allow a child molester to get out early from prison if a bureaucrat says he is non-violent? the answer was yes and that sealed it for me. i think the

mr. zuckerberg decision-making. adding that the disclosures were caused to consider stricter privacy laws. congress is going to have to regulate them. i hate to do it, but by god i will if they cannot clean up their act. jerry in ohio. you oppose the spending bill agreement to fund the government for the next couple of months. why is that? caller: it is good to talk to you. i have been trying to get on your program. you asked me then what what would i do about the health care bill? -- guess what, i was right. on this short-term spending thing, they should never be a short-term spending bill. these people have to get together and do a year ahead of time and know what the heck is going on so everybody knows what is going on. this short-term stuff is a bunch of baloney. everybody getsk, their hand in a pot. the taxpayers pay for it over and over again. do we need a wall in places? it is notput -- possible to put a wall all the way across because of terrain. where it has been put up, the reports are that the crossings a

have you gotten to speak with sandberg or mark zuckerberg? mr.i have spoken with sheryl a couple of times. one of the things i raised was the importance of the audit, that it cannot be an audit that his been used now in the media and individuals three levels down are responsible for carrying out the recommendations. it needs to have the level of importance to ensure that facebook changes its culture and maintains a positive thetionship with african-american community and u.s. citizens as a whole. response? was her mr. johnson: she was very nice. she heard what i had to say, and of us, now is a matter seeing the next steps. are they going to take the recommendations that were released in the audit? are they going to implement those recognitions, and will they ensure african-americans are not used in a proxy fight for political gain? emily: you're not the first person to complain about the black experience on facebook. we spoke to a former employee who raised concerns about the treatment of african-american employees and also how the company treats

mr. zuckerberg, the discovery of the internet, has much information shared online. i propose a group that is free of rivals that threaten utilization or harm consumers. with that in mind, i'm deeply concerned about the users of discriminatory use in the market of internet search. google has harmed the competitive process by favoring its own products and services over rivals by deprioritizing or delisting competitors' content. my first question, as a proponent of internet openness, will google commit to ending the decision made against rivals and other products? >> with all respect, i disagree with that characterization. we provide users with the best experience they're looking for, the most relevant information, and that's how we approach our products. >> but does that include the use of discriminatory practices? is that part of your business model? >> definitely not. in the european commission, we are appealing that decision. when they looked at shopping as a category, they excluded amazon as an entrant in the space. so the specifics matter here. we are in a positi

it comes particular, following a broader trend as mark zuckerberg testified, facing intense questions. now it is mr. pichai turn -- mr. pichai's turn. he will say he is an american, immigrant, and will try to present himself as someone able to navigate this company through increasingly difficult data protection times. vonnie: thank you. kevin will be on standby at the hearing. for now, let's get to that hearing. sundar pichai and the opening statements now. >> i recognize myself and the ranking member for opening statement.i would like to recognize our first witness, the majority leader , kevin mccarthy, of california, for his statement. welcome. >> thank you, mr. good length -- goodlatte for organizing the hearing. i want to thank sundar pichai for testifying on capitol hill. we appreciate and note your willingness to travel here and answer our questions. first, in a private setting in september and now in a public setting. google is one of the most valuable companies in america. because of what it does. google's search engine organizes the entire internet.and by extension , almost all the informa

mr. ferguson: i don't think it's a contradiction and in his recent hearings in washington, mark zuckerberg acknowledged that he has and feels responsibility. ms. rice: he did and i think they are changing. dramatically. mr. ferguson: there's been a real shift in attitudes and i think 2016 has been a wake-up call for the whole of silicon valley. i think the fact that they hired 10,000 additional people to moderate content means they acknowledge they need to do much more. but i think at the moment it's not transparent on what basis this occurs because the community standards that they invoke when they decide to kick someone off the platform are not transparent. we can't even access the on which this moderation goes on. i think we need to try to create a balance. not a contradiction, but a balance we need to strike, the same balance television had to strike and radio had to strike and newspapers had to strike, the classic balance of the public sphere. that you need to allow, if you believe in free speech, as i do, hateful things to be said. but what you can't allow is things that lead directl

mr. pichai simply said we question the result and the methodology of the study. >> kia smither in his delivery you could argue whether or not you agree with the message then for example facebook's mark zuckerbergnt of all of this, google has 10 times and lawmakers made this point more data on all of us than facebook. if you measure and gigabytes. google has about 10,000 hours of music listening to facebook say 500. so we can put it in terms people understand. they have a ton more data and i thought lawmakers are good about not only is google tracking online metrics, it is tracking physically where you go in to his credit for google, sundar pichai actually navigated quite deftly around that. stuart: i don't think they've laid a glove on them so far. has been very civilized because we love our conciliatory, a lot more polite than zuckerberg who was awkward and kind of combative. stuart: it turned from a $10 game day on the downside. it is losing -- i don't have it right in front of me. >> that if you look year-to-date , it is more or less performing with the market. it's so close to 1% year-to-date if you look at the nasdaq up 3%. it's more or less in line with the overall markets. so it's not a
