i can come on and say they want to connect to facebook? i say yes, and then we tell you what information is going to washington to. >> that leads into a couple of questions on privacy. i'm sure you get asked a lot of the in the early days, facebook doesn't care about privacy. and then the relationship shifted to face that makes it very hard for people to manage privacy. last year or so there has been much of a conversation about privacy on facebook. what has been the lessons about even with privacy issues and what are your overall thoughts about how facebook approaches privacy? >> privacy is of the utmost concern to us. our recent privacy was very civil, it's the users data. they own it. they can post it, delete it, we don't give it away. they can share it. interestingly facebook, you as one of the things that really made a stand out from others, and one of the things is privacy. that facebook really kind of invented or more granular privacy controls that if you think about life before facebook, things were open or close. your corporate e-m

most of what happens on facebook are links to your site. my friend libby posted an article, and it was a link. i read it on the "l.a. times" site. >> you're also talking to a group that is learning how to make money digitally. what are your thoughts on asking readers to pay for content online? >> there is -- the economics are changing, figuring that out to make it sustainable is of the utmost of portents. there are basically two models. users can take and advertisers can pay. i have never heard of third. over time that it has always been some combination. some users will pay and some advertisers will pay.

on. whether it's facebook, whether it's myspace. it's, whether they're tweeting, all these things and this becomes a way for candidates to let people know who they are, what they're doing and they wind up being marketers, if you will, for these people. it's phenomenal. >> is that just as important as the strategy to get people to like you on the internet, to campaign for you, to talk about you. even if it doesn't translate into voting? you know what i mean? like the people who are like all about politics on facebook, don't always vote. >> well you're right. i mean not all of these 19 million people are voters, a lot of them are kids. a lot of them are people who aren't really political, but just sort of curious. but still, if you have two, three, four million of these people who are spreading the gospel, if you will, it matters tremendously. and by the way, it isn't just talk, it has to do with money. lots of money. these people, chris, are raising tremendous -- obama in 2008, let's use this as a a benchmark here. obama in 2008 had

as a small business own, he uses facebook for marketing though they have his card on file but when he contacted facebook to tell them his account had been hacked -- >> they basically told me someone in my household or someone known to me was the one who did it, didn't see any suspicious activity on my account. i owed them money and i had no choice. >> reporter: but brian cooley says he does have a choice. >> it is really hard for a service on the web, facebook or anybody else to know that you did everything else right and therefore it is their fault. there are cases where that is obviously. but there are many more cases where it is not. >> reporter: he says there are ways to prove someone hacked your account and even better prevent future hackers from getting in. >> one, set up facebook so it will alert you anytime a new or unusual computer, phone, tablet, whatever, accesses your account. >> reporter: you can find that option by clicking in account settings an account. select the secure browsing option https. that's what jason did and sure enough a few days later. >> i got a text mess

that was put on the facebook page, on his facebook page. it was put on youtube. but it happened on march 20th. the riots happened quite a while after that in part because local leaders, muslim leaders in afghanistan manipulated it. you know, people in the country there didn't necessarily know about it. most americans didn't know about it, except for the fact that people went through with loud speakers in some of these towns and there was also an allegation that hundreds of korans were burned here. so there was a lot of manipulation about what really happened, as well, for a lot of different political purposes. >> another frustration -- the ideological stand-off in washington over the budget. >> well, republicans this week unveiled -- while congress was talking about how are we going to fund the rest of this year -- the republicans also unveiled their blueprint for 2012 and beyond, and they proposed a very radical restructuring of medicare/medaidsome of those other programs. the congressman who introduced it said it was a moral obligation to do something about med
