governments have been trying to stop peer to peer technologies since napster and they have been. completely unsuccessful as anybody could possibly be and. so i don't see them being able to stop here to be a currency either which leads me to the observation that since there is no middleman there is nobody giving permission. when i'm buying a bottle of water with a credit card somewhere in the background is a bank giving me permission to buy a bottle of water with a credit card and that is a horrifying thought because that means that the bank can also deny me permission to buy a bottle of water. nobody thinks of this but it's there with bitcoin this is not true there is nobody needing to give permission in the background there is nobody who gets to say no to a transaction no money can be forced no money can be seized and here is the big problem for governments in the future taxes can no longer be forced i get all the three points that. you. said like before you said it's traceable with want to cry we know where the ransom money is going but the accounts themselves are anonymous but

that's how he got into napster and then facebook and spotify.end is now to cast more light on the internal practices of these social media companies, and that's right. they have to own more of it. because the last thing anybody wants is for the government to start calling the shots. so, again, part of that maturation process for a company is to take ownership of what you've done and start to come to grips with it. they have to, and they can do more. emily: what does that look like when we are looking at the volume of content, two billion users? i mean, you can lie on tv. you can lie at thanksgiving dinner. what if you lie on facebook? what should facebook do about that? jon: there are lies, and then there are lies. right? there are all kinds of gradations. they are the first ones to brag about how they have the greatest assemblage of geniuses in world history. ok, geniuses, figure it out. i'm sure they can. it is not easy. google has their best minds on it as well. this can be done. they just have to want to. disclosure, transparency are importa

this was around the napster time, before youtube, before instagram, even before myspace, setting theanged me forever. the extraordinary musical freedom of beatboxing in new york there. pope francis is not a man of bling. he's known to drive a simple ford for trips inside the vatican walls, and shuns expensive vehicles on trips abroad. now, he's got the keys to this, a white, special edition lamborghini huracan, worth $250,000. but the pope won't actually be cruising the dream car on rome's cobbled streets anytime soon, as he won't be keeping it. the vatican say the vehicle will be auctioned, with proceeds going to three different charities. one of them includes a fund to rebuild homes and churches for christians forced out of iraq by so—called islamic state militants. hi there. for many of us it is going to be another pretty cloudy start to the day on thursday, but there will be some significant weather changes, because this cold front is going to be sliding its way southwards as we go on through the day and behind that we're going to see the skies turning much brighter with much mor

this is the same guy who was with napster. they destroyed the music industry, so he's 2 for 2.is that users are sort of too tunnel to really realize -- dumb to really realize what's going on, and that's animating all of the conversations about censoring facebook. it's a very paternal way to view audience, but he does. and he thinks he may have actually with destroyed a generation through this product. charles: emily, i read an article where it says social media not so social. it's easy to judge people, likes do not determine love, it's not a platform to complain. people don't need to see everything. in other words, people put their whole lives out there for the rest of the world to critique, and when they do, they take it in a way that doesn't help them. in the meantime, we've all lost true social skills. do you buy that? >> oh, absolutely. listen, i think for the past 15 years we've sort of discovered this cool new thing with the internet, and we have not let off the gas, we haven't paused to think. initially one thing that was amazing about the comments this week was he said

then napster came along and digital down load and all of a sudden you started to tour to make money. >> rose: that's the principal revenue source for most artists. >> for young artists. when you're starting out you're going to make 90% of the money you'll make in a year comes from the road. is road now is not only the best way to connect to fans and those imaginal moments, it's paying bills. so the art now, the stream and what you create is magic but the road is where you're going to pay the bills. >> rose: you said an interesting thing. is there going to be enough acts for you to put on the road michael. and you said as long as they have to put food on the table they'll be touring. >> it's a win all around. because the other thing that has been, if you look at technology and what it's done to entertainment media companies, really live concerts is the only art form where technology enhanced it. it didn't disrupt it. why? >> rose: made music better. made the sound better. >> also it's not duplicatable. you will not watch u2 at home on your tv and still get those goose bums and magic m
