mr. goldman, when mr. doyle asked you about the goodlatte amendment, i noticed you said it's superior to the current bill but do you think it's acceptable, something you'd like to see passed into law? mr. goldman: i would like to see how the developments play out in the court. there are a number of developments germane. just on tuesday a backpage challenge against -- the court noting section 230 may not protect backpage and that may not hold back the a.g. investigation. we know things are taking place and my preference would see how to plays out. mr. guthrie: this legislation sits until some court makes a decision? mr. goldman: or -- mr. guthrie: or something acceptable now? we hear that a lot in congress, he legislative mr. mcnerney, you're recognized for five minutes. mr. mcnerney: i thank the chairwoman and i thank the witnesses today. this is a difficult subject and something that needs to be done. it's urgent. ms. souras, in the 2015 congress passed the stop advertising of exploitation of the save act

mr. goldman, when mr. doyle asked you about the goodlatte amendment, i noticed you said it's superior to the current bill, but do you think it is acceptable? something you would like to see passed into law? mr. goldman: i would like to see how the developments play out in the court. there are a number of developments taking place right now that are very germane to what we are discussing. for example, just on a backpage challenge against the missouri attorney general investigation was dismissed, in part with the court noting section 230 may not protect backpage and that may not hold back the missouri a.g. investigation. but we know right now things are taking place and my preference would be to see how this plays out. mr. guthrie: this legislation sits until some court makes a decision? mr. goldman: or -- mr. guthrie: or something acceptable now? the issue is we hear that a lot in congress, the legislative branch, we do things and let the court clarify, let them move forward. my personal opinion is it is ou

mr. goldman: section 230 is a very powerful statute. amendments to it have the potential for very dramatic effects. >> thank you. i yield back. >> mr. olson, five minutes. olson: i thank my friend from tennessee from the bottom of my heart for having this important hearing. modern day slavery happens as was said in the first panel. it happens in my hometown of sugarland, texas. slavery for sex and labor. it's ugly, offensive, but it's real. it's so offensive and ugly some law enforcement people back home say it doesn't exist but it does. april 2016 back home, a high school senior, very attractive, disappeared at night, working at a local gym, 500 yards, from my official office, in the heart of sugarland. she had just turned 18 so she was a legal adult. her father knew unless he found her in 30 days she'd likely be gone forever. luckily he had resources to hire former special forces, seals, green berets, reinforce recon and put a full social media. he got her back. that situation had been planned for two years. she befriended the so-calle

mr. goldman said. he said it was enacted in 2015 and basically added advertising as one of the acts one could commit under the federal trafficking statute. one important thing to take into account it was enacted in 2015. that page immediately filed court papers in the federal court in the district of columbia to basically enjoin that statute, saying it was unconstitutional. they filed suit against the department of justice. that case was not resolved until october of 2016. even though it may feel as though the law has been around a couple of years and no one has used it, i would provide a bit of a counter-view on that and say the law has really only been available to prosecutors out from under the spector what that court's decision might have been for just about a year simply is not a long time when you think of a federal investigation to be teed up and pursued. >> i was going to ask you, first of all, are we clear of court possible overturning the save act at this point? is the save act safe in legisl

mr. goldman, the one who got this rolling, perhaps thought there was dirt knowing this might be interesting to people like paul manafort and donald jr. we have yet to interview paul manafort. there will beon an interesting interview. >> did anyone ask why don jr. didn't go to the fbi when it appeared the russian government was trying to make contact with the campaign? >>t the question got asked, and you know, we got a similar answer to answers that we have gotten about other odd behavior. with jaredf kushner it's now known that he had in conversation in which he sought a backck channel, perhaps, at t russian a embassy. again, the question was, wasn't that aiodd? the answer we get in these situations, hey, we were really, really busy, and what the heck, we thought we would throw it out there and see. don jr. with respect to this information, said, it's not illegal to listen. downplaying to most eyes things that looked odd. donald trump jr. once talked about and almost bragged about how much russian money was important to the real estate empire, and he said it back in 2008. the scope of your

mr ermotti. the daily telegraph, this is bitcoin, we are hearing almost daily threats, the head of goldman sachs their back, their case? not really and i'll tell you why. looking at the underlying technology, we mustn't confuse the crypto currencies who use the underlying technology of blockchain, if you look at banks like american express and santander, they use this technology for cross—border transactions, you have other companies using it for peer to peer transactions. it removes all the friction. the technology is very useful. the speculation is going to cause people with too much money and not much better to do with it to lose a bit of money. is that a fair comment from the fed to say that? the bigger threat is probably ubs and the big banks. they were last time... stop blaming crypto currencies. i'll make a prediction, bitcoin, all the others, they will be up at least 100% next year. whether they should is a different matter because there's something behind the technology that's really useful which is why banks are using it. the last lorry, we'll have to be quick, the idea that pupils are
