what does the departure of nick clegg and the arrival ofjoel kaplan mean for meta?ne listening to this programme, _ meta? for everyone listening to this programme, the _ meta? for everyone listening to this programme, the thing - meta? for everyone listening to this programme, the thing to i this programme, the thing to understand is that meta is no longer pretending to be neutral in politics. mark zuckerberg has had as a goal since the company began to create a global network on which every human being connected to the internet participates, under his direction, a very authoritarian vision. in the united states, it has been on the defensive for many years and as a consequence has had to pretend political neutrality. when nick clegg was hired seven years ago, it was in direct response to the cambridge analytical scandal in the uk, and the absolute need at that time to settle political issues in europe. i think meta now feels it has control of the politics in europe to its satisfaction. it wants to focus on the united states. the promotion ofjoel kaplan, who has been

so i think the key thing to understand about this change is that nick clegg was brought on to solve anto any long—term trouble in europe — it clearly has not gotten into long—term trouble. european regulators are unhappy with the company, but they've not yet done anything meaningful. trump's election in the united states signals a huge change in us politics, and meta has been in conflict with trump because it banned him a number of years ago after the insurrection in washington. and kaplan, who is a long—time republican politician, is someone who i think they correctly believe can negotiate with all the correct parties so that meta can buy its way towards a favoured position with the administration. let's ta ke let's take you briefly, if we can, of the us house, and as we mentioned it little earlier, voting is under way for the house speaker. we are waiting for the result of a second vote which is having to take place because the first vote rejected mike johnson because the first vote rejected mikejohnson as the speaker of the house. he is president—elect trump ozment endorsement, but

. >> you know, before it was nick clegg, a prominent liberal uk politician, and nick clegg took a lot for instance, for some of the misinformation on that platform. and then earlier, you know, a few in the past few weeks, zuckerberg pushed basically nick clegg out and appointed joel kaplan, who's this republican official, to lead policy. now they're doing hits on fox news. they're going on joe rogan. so this is again part of this concerted effort. but i do think what you're getting at, you do see that tension. there is this tension between free speech. i think everyone wants free speech, but also the ramifications that come with free speech. >> and if you're spreading misinformation, particularly during the pandemic, about life saving vaccines, you know, how do you if you're mark zuckerberg, how do you manage that? >> do you let your algorithms amplify that speech? do you let it run rampant when it has real world consequences? meta. in the past, you know, maybe 6 or 7 years, eight years, they have decided that that's dangerous. and they had and systems in place to limit misinformation

politician nick clegg, stepping down. do we know why? >> yeah. saying that the time is right for him to step down, and the timing is right. when you think about the deputy chief policy officer who's now going to be taking over, joel kaplan, he's a very well known republican. of course, as republicans hold all three branches of government. he is saying that joel kaplan is clearly the the right person at the right moment, at the right time. kaplan, as we know, was a deputy chief of staff to george w. bush, so maybe the right person when we think about leading the person forward with a republican administration. ashley: all right. terrific stuff, taylor. thank you so much for running through those individual stocks. we appreciate it. >>> let's take a look at the big board. as we can see, the dow up now over 200 points. again with, it was down 150 at the close yesterday, so we've made that up and then some, up about half a percent. system of the dow winners, let's take a look at those. nvidia, all the big names, of course. there's amazon, financials,

it has been held by former uk deputy prime minister nick clegg, who joined the company in 2018. he announced yesterday that he is stepping down and handing the reins to his deputy, joel kaplan, who is one of the company's most prominent republicans. kaplan has been working on policy at meta since 2011, but prior to that he held several key roles, including deputy chief of staff of policy in the george w. bush white house. they also announced that taking over for his current role, vp of global policy is kevin martin, another longtime meta exec who was formerly chairman of the fcc under bush. and we know this, of course, all comes as meta is preparing for a second trump presidency. and as ceo mark zuckerberg has sought to cozy up to trump, we saw zuckerberg visiting trump in mar-a-lago after the election, meta announced it's going to be donating $1 million to trump's inaugural fund, and zuckerberg has said that he wants to take an active role in tech policy discussions with the trump white house. and so it may have been a decision that kaplan was better positioned to navigate a re

nick clegg, who you may remember was running their policy business.er thing they said, interestingly, was to the extent that they are going to have people working for facebook policing, if you will, content, they are moving out of california. those people in that department to the state of texas and other states. so just to put sort of the full picture here, community notes, by the way, i think in some respects is actually a very good product in that it's nice that there are people that will able to correct the record quickly. the problem is, i think we all know, though, is that, first of all, clickbait. the crazier it is, the farther it goes. and historically, the correction never gets the same kind of airtime that the first right post ever gets. and so here we are in this sort of new world. but i think this is not just a meta or facebook story. this is a tech story across the board. whether it's this and obviously mark zuckerberg had gone down to see the president or president elect recently separately. you know, you have amazon making a documentary

. >> and getting rid of nick clegg.to the right, per se. >> it's a move away from the left. >> clearly a move away from the left by getting out of california. >> four years is a long time. no one wants to be left out in the cold. i thought about this yesterday. i won't bring it up. you know, when we were at ge, we were owned by ge and obama came in. you saw the currying the favor and launched the eco whatever the hell that was. the movement was favor with obama and almost bankrupted the company. it went down in flames after it all happened. that had a lot to do with getting in tight with an eight-year obama administration. didn't help the company when it was all said and done. it is coming back, thank god. look at the ay. >> are you suggesting this is a good idea or bad idea? >> good idea. >> that's why i'm asking this question. >> depends on whether o you are currying favor with. >> it depends on your regulators. we have been talking about this the last couple days, jon. the idea that tech companies, some of the big te
