was twitter shut down in sri lanka?instead of specific examples, let me talk more broadly about how we think about these things. we are in an incredibly dynamic environment, where people are using platforms like twitter in different ways all the time, and we need to both be respectful of the tragedies that sometimes will occur, as we need to be thoughtful about how perpetrators use the platform, how victims use it, how people seeking news who are 10,000 miles away use a service like twitter to make sure people can trust the information they find, and that they are comfortable being part of the conversation. emily: what is interesting about the sri lanka situation, that the government shutdown the services without any evidence that the crime was spun up on social media, but because they were concerned about misinformation and violence spreading on social media in the aftermath. isn't that a concern, that that's the first reaction of an entire country? ned: it tells us there is still work for us and others to do, making s

to hear directly from twitter.ever, those numbers make twitter look good. i realize yes, it helps them with stopping their double-counting, excluding fake users. but when twitter's user numbers look better, the ad pricing and advertisers' media plans hinge on those user numbers and impressions. so a social network finding a way to improve their user numbers helps boost their ad revenue in the long run. so there is this ripple effect that happens in media buying, and selfishly from twitter's standpoint to find a number that helps them improve on the user front is good for them. so there's sort of a hidden incentives, if you will, there. emily: meantime, minutes after i sat down with ned segal, news crossed that jack dorsey, ceo of twitter, had just met with president trump in a closed-door meeting. we don't know about that meeting, twitter is not commenting, but the president did tweet about it -- great meeting this afternoon at the white house with jack dorsey from twitter, lots of great discussions about social me

it is twitter's second-largest market. look at live video in general, the video category is extremely important to twitter. it is actually now the largest ad format and the fastest-growing one as well. advertisers love being able to brand themselves next to this premium content. emily: david, what do you think is the significance of twitter focusing on the middle east and north africa given all of the other priorities the company has and these very pressing issues around hate speech, harassment, violence on the platform in addition to the need to grow? david: they have to grow, and this is a great place to do it. there is no question they can't disregard political and speech-related challenges. they recognize they are real, and the company has been handling them better than some of their internet competitors. in terms of the middle east, the brand of twitter is super strong in that region. and, you know, when i look at the big picture, jack dorsey has always had this vision twitter was in some ways ultimately a media distr

is twitter good enough for innovating?] gerrit: you know, that is a good question and is interesting. the narrative around twitter is it is too slow to come up with new products. they have been talking about things for a long time. maybe they will make a change. the switch to more than 200 characters from the original 140 limit was something they bounced around for years before instituting. and then when they did it, the sky to not fall on them and was a popular move. you can see the gears are turning a little faster and they have been testing more products, talking about changes to its service. there are changes coming down the pipeline that are in testing right now. we will see them go to larger numbers of users soon. maybe the question about innovation is moving in the right direction. vonnie: how much is president donald trump impact twitter? gerrit: most will say he has a serious impact on twitter and has breathed new life into it. that is where he speaks first on most issues. vonnie: if that were to stop, or if someo

do you get off twitter?you look at other institutions, academia is very left wing, entertainment is liberal, the media is liberal. if you walk away from social media you forfeit the ball to this tiny group of leftists. is it better to stay and fight, i don't really know. those people are still there and the companies will pay attention to that. if they come after jesse, you know -- here's the thing. a real community with the fake community, it's being replaced by the denials to converse, it's frightening. >> juan: i want to ask everybody at the table a question, do you still tweet? >> juan: >> greg: yes. >> dana: did you not watch me last night? the nfl draft? i stopped reading about politics, i tweet about the nfl draft, promoting shows, when we went to nashville, i do those types of things but i don't use it as much. for breaking news i would recommend nuzzel. it's -- if you want to follow breaking news, it's a way to do that in other twitter type of fashion without the comments. >> juan: on your point, th

twitter's numbers.was a big surprise to the upside. how did they pull this off this quarter, in a way that was unexpected? some growing optimism around the country, several quarters of healthy gains, but this is a sign they are on the path to accelerated revenue and user growth. not only did they beat revenue expectations by a wide margin, they also beat on the monetize of daily active user growth. this is a sign to investors that all of their investment in product innovations, making the product easier to use, iterating on their core features, is having an impact, as well as their efforts to reduce spam and toxicity. advertisers are following user eyeballs. as daily active user numbers go up, advertisers will follow. shery: talking about toxic content, how are they doing in cleaning up their platform? selina: twitter has a history of ink slow on cleaning up the abuse content. jack dorsey has reiterated that this is the number one priority. one of the primary criticisms of thater, any user knows they ar

and it's that easy if you're an ego i user of twitter you too can guard our democracy ok well that's great i mean twitter yeah you guarding democracy story live looks pretty straightforward i suppose we've all been ported a tweet before is it effective is that enough this is the big question twitter has been extremely vague about what actually happens to that tweet once you report it does it get deleted automatically is the account taken down and if it is noteworthy that twitter does not actually have a broad policy or definition for what exactly is misinformation so all of the big social media companies twitter facebook google as. cetera have all been under a lot of pressure from governments worldwide to do something about the spread of fake news and the european commission back in march released a report saying none of them are doing enough really now facebook has recently created a new mechanism by which users can see more transparently who is paying for ads where the money's coming from where these people or this government or this business is based that's advertising to them but

that is twitter.kets on radio will join us now who in his previous life was deep in the weeds of twitter. one of the standouts we are seeing? >> of the quarter. they beat on revenues and eps. what investors are focusing on is the users. the company once investors to focus on daily active users or monetize of all daily active users. those are the ones were not robots. the reason they are trying to shift the focus is because they know they cannot compete with facebook's in terms of aliens of users. have about 330 million users at this company, twitter. the issue is we are not that big but we are really engaged and they go to the advertisers and say we have engaged user base. they come every day and that is what we want to sell to advertisers. that is working. david: hasn't worked anywhere else? snap made that move. other people are saying we've made that money but we do not want to move? has it ever worked? paul: amazon and google and facebook soak up most of the digital advertising dollars. everybody e
