twitter is to ban all political advertising worldwide. in a tweet, of course, its founder said the reach of such messages should be earned, not bought. the social media company says it wants to prevent potential problems with unchecked information and fake news. the policy comes in on 22 november, so it will affect both the uk general election and next year's us presidential election. twitter‘s social media rival facebook recently ruled out a ban on political ads. alexandra mackenzie reports. with a uk election expected six weeks today, politicians are already heading for social media to get their message across to as many of us as their message across to as many of us as possible. but, from the end of november, the ceo of twitter, jack dorsey, has said all political advertising will be banned. on twitter, he said that political message reach should be earned are not bought. why, he asked? the answer, he said, it can be used to influence votes and effect the lives of millions. some regard this move asa of millions. some regard this move a

and when you're talking about donald trump, he has 65 million twitter followers. he has proven himself to be willing to obstruct justice. just ask bob mueller. you can look at the manifesto from the shooter in el paso to know that what donald trump says on twitter impacts people's perceptions about what they should and should not do. we're talking about a private corporation, twitter, that has terms of use. and as far as i'm concerned and i think most people would say, including members of congress who he has threatened, that he has lost his privileges and it should be taken down. the bottom line is that you can't say you have one rule for facebook and you have a different rule for twitter. the same rule has to apply, which is that there has to be a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites to understand their power. they are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation, and that has to stop. >> he is the president of the united states, and i would -- you know, you might argue, first of all, he d

advertising on twitter globally.ut, despite what might seem like a significant shift, political ads on twitter have a fraction of the impact of those on facebook. in the 2017 election, uk political parties spent £3.2 million on facebook ads and just £56,500 on twitter ads. in any case, the vast majority of what cuts through on twitter is shared content, rather than paid—for ads. free speech is a pillar of our democracy, but it only works if you and i know who is doing the talking. alas — when it comes to social media platforms, sometimes we don't. for instance, we often don't know who is ultimately paying for this marketing. it could be foreign or malign actors, who deploy social media precisely because regulation is so weak. and of course, amid all the clamour and propaganda online, it's those who engage our emotions rather than appeal to reason who find their messages cut through. digital campaigns have no beginning or end. they are constant, it's just the volume is turned up or down according to political need. in

twitter actually did something that maybe we can applaud it for. caused her to begin doubting the strict church leaders and the message of humans are simple of the lock of the church itself be so confident about itself, question should left with. after a digital joust with critics she started when it sometimes they had a w point and then should begin exchanging messages with an intuitive for change her life and then here to welcome her. megan phelps-roper, everyone.

twitter by simply banning all.tical advertising clued into ones that have not based on misinformation and. facebook by allowing advertising that is false and misleading real responsibility it is better for social media companies would be to actually function as a genuine arbiter in that respect they have to do fact checking and a low those political advertisements that are accurate and disallow those that are part of a disk information campaign let and they can do so they can do so with through nonpartizan fact checking organizations i guess i do want to talk on about enforcement of all of this right because even with this ban i imagine you could pay influences who have lots of followers on twitter to to tweezing gauge of people online and without necessarily using these promoted tweets and we also know that there's these large network of bots rice on on twitter do we could we then perhaps see a resurgent of those let me throw that to you yeah i think i think that the problem for mr 2nd but 1st is that he facebook

i was the only one on twitter for a year or year and a half. i would always read my post in front of my mother initially but then i saw that as a way of communicating with people that did not require distortion. so i try to explain but that is not what i said.

taylor: i want to talk about twitter's business. do we have any indication of how much political ads contribute to twitter's revenue? >> we do. we just heard from twitter executives on their own earnings call. they said they brought in about $3 million in revenue from political ads. that is a very small percentage. a pretty much nonexistent part of twitter's business. it is an easy thing for them to do. the only other taking a stand. jack dorsey believes this is a moral or symbolic stand about free speech but it will not hurt them at all financially. taylor: hurting them financially, how does this help overall appearance with regulators? twitter had been staying out of the eyes of regulators. what does this change and i regulators -- in the eyes of regulators? kurt: i don't think it changes much. it might apply some extra pressure to facebook. of their chief rivals when it comes to not only advertising and his first speech -- these free-speech debates. work on twitter, why can't it work on facebook? i think this provides a little ex

it is not to impact twitter massively.ing on twitter is tiny, but this is a symbolic gesture because we are all now focusing on the influence and power of paid advertising on social media. facebook founder mark zuckerberg said he did not think it was right for private companies to censor politicians or the news. mps, including former home secretary amber rudd, and liver‘s david lammy, have welcomed the ban. but donald trump us election campaign team so it is yet another attempt by the left to silence the president. sam jeffers is the co—founder of the who targets me campaign, which monitors the use of political adverts on social media. he told my colleague annita twitter has a mixture of motivations behind the move. the motivation i suspect is somewhat one of conscience in that there is a lot of public and wider concern about the use of political advertising online. i suspect some of it is self—interested, you look at the controversies facebook faces and twitter is to avoid as many of those as possible. what it is not as a

>> bad day for twitter for sure.he right things, but i think two things are still pretty concerning to me. one of those is the fact that the ad targeting issues they've had over the quarter where they had to make some changes, turn off some targeting, is definitely something they've got to fix, but on the other hand, advertisers really come to these platforms for the ad targeting, betweens a fine line shutting off things or keep offering things that advertisers .ight expect to get if they don't get them on twitter, they might go somewhere else to get them, so that is one big concern. another concern i have -- yeah, go ahead. taylor: then do advertisers stay with twitter given they no longer have that targeted advertising? >> that's a very good question. i do think other platforms will start to face more issues about ad targeting. we have seen over the past cforal quarters facebook also referring to headwinds related to targeting. those have not impacted facebook revenues yet, but we see the targeting drumbeat and the

it will not impact twitter agreed deal. tune with the zeitgeist. it is really interesting in that twitter is a much smaller business. twitter has about 30 million people using it every month. across the whole of the facebook business, it is about 2.3 billion. a fraction of the size. but what it is doing is making a very strong gesture and a strong stance, particularly at a time when mark zuckerberg is in front of congress. he has been summonsed to talk in front of other political bodies around the world about how facebook will be controlled. the biggest issue here, broadcasters like the bbc are very closely monitored. watchdog monitors and picks up what your journalist and experts watchdog monitors and picks up what yourjournalist and experts say. but thatis yourjournalist and experts say. but that is not the same as facebook or any other platform. they are just not fairly regulated. we have spoken about adverts coming through already from political parties. in the last 24 from political parties. in the last 2a hours alone,

and twitter says some of the problems will continue into the current quarter. that was bad okay, all of that said, with the stock down under $30, i think it's too late to sell. but just in time to start building a position, if you don't already own it i have been noodling this whether i should think about this for, irchtwitter has repord last year and the stock got obliterated pulling back from the mid-40s. investment management figure things out and delivered a string of strong quarters taking the stock back up to the mid-40s before the company hit another wall i think they can do it again, why, because twitter's current problems feel like temporary setbacks to me managers continue to do a great job of growing the user base and at the end of the day, that's what matters, to find out what the president is up to, they'll be able to work out kinks in advertising system sure, twitter screwed up, and the stock deserved to get hit but it didn't deserve to lose a fifth of its value for heaven's sake the last time this stock had a major melt down, 27 to $28, which is

twitter, this is their platform.ke the rules they once but there has been a history of them being biased towards conservative voices on twitter. that is where there is concern of censorship and what this could mean for conservative ideology. heather: and rightly so because precedent was set in the past by people on social media sites by censoring conservatives. how do we know they won't do it this time? >> they probably will and they are allowed to do it. i find it interesting that twitter is not making anybody happy with this. conservatives are concerned about the censorship aspect, that is a valid concern but senator kamala harris has been asking twitter to band donald trump from their platform for quite a few weeks. they are saying now. the reason is they know that donald trump makes them a lot of money. he has a huge following and many news outlets including fox news like to follow his twitter account and make news that way. no one is happy with this decision but talking about how conservatives are censored even

how much can you target on twitter. there's even less certainty around who is real on twitter.acebook, talking 2 billion plus people. twitter, nowhere near that yes, you can argue that jack dorsey is doing the right thing, but can you compare it >> i think you're right. facebook is bigger and more powerful what they do here will ultimately matter more cudos to twitter stepped up, did it now facebook, if they do anything, look like they're following. and it is a very complicated issue. you had people come out yesterday and cheer, others said whoa, what about emerging politicians that want to use it legitimately, honestly, how do they reach people now. what is a lie and what is misleading, who is going to draw those lines. twitter did take an interesting approach by banning all ads. my question is how do you determine what's a political ad? especially when everybody can do it anonymously. >> does it have to do with who is paying for it does it end up being gdpr for politics, all of those that already had a bunch of followers and super pacs, get relatively more powerful and smalle

1st time a tweet has cost a lot more than $140.00 characters though and 2013 the associated press twitter account was hacked and tweet that said breaking 2 explosions at the white house and barack obama injured when this of course wasn't true. it ended up sinking the dow long enough that it wiped $136000000000.00 from the s. and p. $500.00 index in just about 2 minutes and 2018 kylie jenner tweeted her for 2 a day to her followers asking so does anyone else not opens nabj i mean more or is it just me ugh this is so sad that in snap chat stock price dropped over 6 percent losing them a whopping one point $3000000000.00 in market value and august of 2018 tech billionaire in line musk went a little too green when he tweeted and considering taking tesla private ads for 20 funding secure even journalists have paid the price for tweets in 2010 c.n.n. senior editor for the middle east a tavia naser tweeted that she had respect for a shiite cleric who'd been critical of israel the united states she was fired by c.n.n. for that tweet a tweet is not just a tweet anymore so let's find out what makes

twitter has been under pressure. snap's reaction yesterday led to some selling pressure on twitter. it seems to be a little bit of a coin toss. they are going through some health conditions cleaning up the platform continued potential ad budget as they are phasing out some of their ad legacy products i think they've done a tremendous job that seems to be the key, potential ad budget and what we'll see in terms of the monitised number any upside to that 142 is what the stock needs you've got elections will be good >> 100%. i think you have the 2020 election, olympics in japan set up for the solid outlook for 2020 still a platform where people are still attracted to again, i think the health initiatives is going to help the better retention rates and engagement trends that will continue to attract the advertising dollars. >> amazon today, microsoft reporting strong growth for azure. what does amazon need besides aws to do well >> that's the key there. everyone knows the focus is still on aws most are expecting 37 to 38% growth it would be fantastic if we saw 40% plus that will trigger

is there a trend we can extrapolate out of twitter? good question, i was asking the same this morning. usually you would lump snap and twitter and facebook into the same category. snap was better than expected earlier this week, they did have weak guidance. i believe from what it sounds like when twitter comes out and went why they missed the revenue that this might be an isolated incident, we are going to your from facebook and google next week so we will know for sure by then. but the way they described this product, the issue around the advertisement targeting, it sounded like something that was specific to twitter and less industry-wide. >> thanks very much, indeed. we are going to get a little more detail a little later on today. we are going to be talking to tter's cfo. -- twi plenty of conversations are going to flow from that, i would expect. let's take a little look at where we are. some stocks really having a tough, tough day. nokia down the most on record at bloomberg. we are going to be on the radio at the top of the hour.

so twitter's ceo, jack dorsey, tweeted about this yesterday, explaining it all on of course twitter,this is not about freedom of speech, rather it's about paying for reach. here's the statement. he says a political message -- paying for reach removes the decision, forcing highly optimized and targeted political messages on people, we believe this decision should not be compromised by money. president trump's campaign calling this a very dumb decision and questioning twitter's motives here. a campaign spokesperson said this. will twitter also be stopping ads from biased liberal media outlets who will run unchecked as they buy obvious political content meant to attack republicans. this is yet another attempt to silence conservatives. since twitter knows president trump has the most sophisticated online program ever known. joe biden and his camp put out a different sort of statement. they were actually for the move and had they said this. we appreciate that twitter recognizes that they should not permit disproven smears like those from the trump campaign to appear in advertisements on t
