twitter. he has announced pardons by twitter. and he has incited violence on twitter, as we know. aw this leading up to the events on january 26. and twitter is saying because of the president's potential to further incite violence, they are shutting down his account. obviously twitter has come under a great deal of scrutiny. a lot of pressure from social media safety advocates in recent weeks, saying that the social media platform hasn't gone far enough in recent days. we saw they took down some of the president's tweets. and prior to that they have been labeling the president's tweets in the run-up to january 6, pointing out, when he would say false things about the election results and so on. but this is a dramatic development, wolf, no question about it, suspending permanently the social media platform says, the president's twitter account. one has to wonder, wolf, what will this do to the president's state of mind. we know he's been unstable. we're hearing from our sources he's lost it and so on in recent days. what does this do to the president now that he no longer has acces

conversation that happens every day on twitter politics is a small part i mean, we're talking, you know, low teens percentage of total content on twitter twitter's about entertainment. it's about sports. you want to know what happened in the game, it is a critical source of information that goes so far beyond politics. >> rich, rich, rich, i'm on twitter, just like you are, but what i'm saying is listen for one second, what i'm saying here is in q3 they had 1 million net adds and that was about as good as it got with all the sports coming back and everything take politics out of it. take a guy that had 90 million followers and a bunch of cult followers, i'm not being political. i'm talking about the numbers here i'm talking about their advertising. so what i'm saying is it's not growing. it's growing at 15% a year at best in sales right now. that's what i'm saying >> years have doubles over the last two years there was a pull-forward effect. look what reed hastings said for netflix. there's no doubt about that. but if you think about what really drives twitter, it's not just sports coming back. there's no doubt but think about the return of just

allowed back on and twitter have said this, they said future violations of the rules will result in a permanent suspension. anyone who knows anything about donald trump's twitter twitterink what we will see now if donald trump is allowed back on twitter is a really sagacious look at what he is tweeting. i think it is pretty likely his days on twitter are numbered. unless we see a reformed donald trump who cares a lot about twitter guidelines. it could be difficult to see a pathway for him continuing on twitter. the same things apply for facebook. you've got to remember that biden is about to become the new president of the usa and what does he think about social media ? usa and what does he think about social media? he thinks they should be doing a lot more to combat fake news and extremism. if you look at what donald trump is tweeting at the moment, a lot of it is fake news, it's about myths, disinformation, about voter fraud. and if you look at some of the tweets he tweeted today, for instance calling some of the people who stormed capitol hill patriots, but falls into the extremism bracket. and what a lot of these social media companies will do is say there isa com

if you don't like twitter get off twitter. twitter has banned over 70,000 accounts for misinformation. if that's the policy they want to carry they have the power to do so. there is nothing wrong with that. as you were saying lindell has been lying to the american people. what we cannot allow is use the microphone of twitter facebook, whatever that is to hurt our democracy. when you have these people lying to the american people, violating a policy of a private company, they can ban whoever they want. >> harris: i want to step in. i want to follow up -- it's an american issue for certain. an everybody issue but i have to say this. they get protection from section 230. it is more than just a private company. they can't have their cupcake and the favorite icing. they have to give up that section 230. i don't know if you read this morning headlines coming that twitter wants to use its users. it wants to enlist its users to fact check for them and to decide what should be on the platform and what should not. i don't know that that's neces

>>well we don't typically hear from the president on twitter twitter actually has walked the president's for 12 hours at just a few hours ago that required the removal of 3 of the president's tweets be done and after that they are removed from his then the they is a cow would be walks for the next 12 hours and if he doesn't remove those tweets and at the base of that his account would remain locked until they are taken down so that's likely why we haven't really heard much from president trump over the last couple of hours we did hear him from that video that he did post to to you just a few hours ago kind of telling everyone that to go home in and you know that be but he still did also call for you know saying that this election was fraud and that he does understand the sentiment of the protesters, so you know we're getting a lot of mixed messages here this is likely why we're not hearing much from the president right now is because he can't tween that's usually where we hear from him. >>all right that is anna wiernicki reporting live for us tonight from washington and uh thank you for

twitter after they took down the president's account. it began trending on the website. trump supporters on twitter twitter. arthel: thank you. eric. : twitter and facebook's decisions, the new pressure on parlor, what you think? >> this looks like a classic case of political payback against the president who tried to crackdown on the social media giant. twitter is claiming the president was glorifying violence. maybe you could make the argument with the original 12 hour fan while the seat of the capital was taking place in terms of what president trump was tweeting but the president is saying for those who ask are not going to the inauguration january 20, that's been perceived by some people as reason to tweak threats about another assault on the capital. i don't see how you lay that . look at the contrary. the same thing today, thousands and thousands of tweets trending on twitter have the following words, hank mike pence. that is apparently okay. that's not glorification of violence, we are seeing highly selective enforcement here. eric: that's even a # right now on twitter. but what about those who say the president has brought

twitter. twitter said free and, you know free elections, democracy depends on the free flow of information. they were talking about election in uganda but then twittert" page when the "new york post" reported on hunter biden, right, ric? that is what happened. >> the idea that jack dorsey gets to say go to another place because we're going to censor conservatives, that is unacceptable. if they had a policy where they were going to consistently censor all information that they didn't like and we could see it was being put forward in a fair way, then i think that he would have a point to say, go somewhere else but he is not playing fair when it comes to political positions. and so this is a issue for congress and congress has got to step in and do something. elizabeth: i mean, the new push to cancel conservativism, here's the thing, when your freedom to speak, everyone's freedom to speak, their right to free speech matters more than jack dorsey's ability to ban people. free speech is paramount here. let me back up. we have can sell conservativism push. you see it at cnn. people talking about that. alexandria ocasio-cortez is now talking about congress

twitter and facebook. then conservatives saying no twitter is the platforming us. look at the story, twitterhat looks like might be a fake twitter account posing as iran's leader in a drone targeting a trump look-alike. in revenge for the drone strike on soleimani. what's your reaction to this? >> this is outrageous, there is some question that might be a community account in their own website features the image showing trump threatened by the drone and yet here he is the leading exporter of terror around the world responsible for the death of 600 servicemen, u.s. serviceman. and his main account is still available on twitter. twitter does not care about the safety of the united states and they all accept it when they gone too far. the fact that they leave terrorists and dictators and remove the president of the united states is just offensive. liz: let's face it, twitter and social media and facebook are one thing, money. they wanted to stay on longer, look longer, be engaged, be emotional so you look around so they can sell ads and use your data for revenue. the fact that iranian accounts

last night twitter making the extraordinary step to indefinitely suspend the president's twitter account. trump has been using twitters direct line of communication, it's been his megaphone to his 88 million followers. but twitter says in his final days he posed a risk of further incitement of violence following the capitol hill insurrection. for more now, i want to bring in cnn's chief media correspondent and host of "reliable sources", brian stelter. this is interesting because we heard sarah westwood reporting the white house saying the president feels like he is being censored and his freedom of speech is being taken away. but this is a private enterprise, twitter is a private company. this is not a government entity. there's a very different issue of censoring if you're a government entity versus a private company making a decision that, you know, you may have crossed the line with the privilege of using our service. >> yes, that's very important context here. this is not a first amendment battle because this is not about the government. this is about an individual trying to use a private company's service. howe

twitter, facebook.. and then the conservatives are saying that twitter is deep out yes . the story dan, twitterpend it looks like my be a fake twitter account housing as iran's leader invested an image of a drone targeting trump look-alike. apparently in revenge for that strike on the general. which reaction to the story . dan: this is outrageous because there's no question that it actually retweet by an account and send website now features the image . showing trump and yes, areas, the leading exporters around the world there are responsible for the death of 600 u.s. servicemen in iraq. and his main account is still available on twitter. twitter does not care about the president of thee united states. they only really realize they've stepped in it. and they've gone too far the fact that they clean the terrorists and dictators on their every move, the president and of the united states, this is just offensive . speech of let's it, twitter and subterranean facebook, about one thing, money. they want you to stay on longer . the congress cannot be engaged longer get emotional hunger. so you state

twitter. twitter has a new program where users can comment on other users posts but you're not allowed. you're blocked from doing that. >> yeah, and thanks for having me in talking about this. i guess it's twitter's way to police content. they are cribbing what right it has been doing for a long time, allowing people to determine the validity of what somebody posts. the criteria to be even accepted in participating. you mentioned talking with senator johnson the issue with "the new york post" and hunter biden story. i had written about that story, not about hunter biden per se but the tech aspect of it, the weight big tech was handling it. twitter locked down my account. i had to delete reference to it before i could be reinstated. there's been a fast-forward to the introduction of bird watch. i thought i'm going to help. i'm generous, i will help fact-checker whatever it is that twitter wants to do. so i was not eligible to participate because of a past twitter violation. the only one that i had was the locked out of my account because of "the new york post" hunter biden story. so my thought on this is i feel like that even knowing twitter was going to roll this out for quite some time and it al

after twitter shut down trump's a personal account he'd been posted to the twitter account the post's twitter account briefly but then twitter immediately removed at that as well so it's just been sort of a cat and mouse game on twitter but into just surreal surreal events transpiring in washington very surreal these past few days in washington president trump under pressure gave from democrats who plan to introduce an impeachment resolution on monday what more do we know about that. yeah this city these are articles of impeachment this is a draft that has not been made public however it has been leaked to journalists here this draft was written by a few democrats it has not been approved formally yet by speaker nancy pelosi that is expected to happen on monday in this draft cuse donald trump of high crimes and misdemeanors for inciting an insurrection and willfully made statements that encouraged imminent lawless action at the u.s. capitol and it also says trump has demonstrated he will remain a threat if allowed to stay in office the white house earlier on friday responded to this saying th

account, the official presidential twitter account, to post a statement complaining about twitter and excoriating twitter for what they've done and saying that twitter's a terrible company that is doing this in cahoots with the radical left democrats. he tweeted that from the official presidential twitter account, @potus. twitter pretty immediately took that statement down. so who knows what will happen? the president making noises tonight that he's going to form his own platform, and maybe he will. maybe in the interim, he'll go to one of the places where, like, the neo-nazi have to go now, these online forums where the neo-nazis have found safe haven and where his supporters ahead of this week's riot posted pictures of themselves with guns and ammunition in their cars heading to washington, d.c. the online forums where the neo-nazis are welcome and where the president's supporters plotted openly this week, how they intended to kill cops and maybe legislators and how they intended to take over and, in their words, occupy the capitol building while they were there this week. maybe the president will hop

available, but the president di get in a few parting shots before twitter twitter shut dow his account. soon after his personal twitterccount was suspended, the president took to his official government account accusing the online platform of going furthe and further in beginning free-speech free speech for the twitter suspension coming on a day that saw already raw feelings between the president and his chief political rival boil over a back-and-forth that began in earnest on thursday when the president appealed for calm in the video post followin the deadly violence at the capital. in that video, he also acknowledged bidens win and promised a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power. >> this moment calls for healin and reconciliation. >> mister biden seem to reject the overture instead blaming th president for the deadly violence accusing him of quote having made his contempt for ou democracy, our constitution, th rule of law clear in everything he has done so it came as littl surprise today when the president announced via twitter that he would be skipping the pending inauguration. >> one of the few things h

twitter. >> in your 30s and 40s, i can't believe it. how did this happen? >> my niece, brittany. i was watching her on twitter one afternoon and i said she's having so much fun -- >> miss warwick, can you hear us? >> yes, i can. can you hear me? >> we're not hearing miss warwick. >> we're not hearing her. we're going to get that fixed. sorry, guys. we'll work on that. >> should we talk tattoos first? >> let's talk tattoos. >> bang, bang. >> bill weir has gotten a tattoo. >> we understand it is finished. >> dare we ask where and what's happening? >> yeah, don, so we had so many different options, ways to go. we considered a tiny coronavirus, maybe a mail-in ballot. i was thinking to have 2020 no regrets and intentionally misspell regrets. but wanted something a little more personal. andy cohen suggested a portrait of gloria borger on my back. we didn't go that way. thanks to our incredible trudy here, we got a little more. here's the back story of the tattoo. i have a baby son. this is river weir who is adorable. and as a bonus, he looks exactly like my dad. every time he smiles, he reminds me of my dad, who really made me who i am today. i mean, he used to take me on canoe trips and taught me to love the outdoor world and everything else. and so this is a design that actually my daughter olivia came up with. and look at trudy's handy work here. this is me and my son river in a canoe. and this is mount soperus where my father's ashes were spread, 2013, when he passed. when you turn it upside down, the reflection is me and my child as my dad. the circle of life, as it were. he did such great work. >> thank you. >> we heard that you were going to get this tattoo on your backside. that's not true? andy was not telling us the truth? >> fancy that. >> if you think i'm going to show off my pandemic dad bod on national television, don, you've been having too many of those clemtine cocktails. >> i thought it was true. >> how long did the tattoo take? it looks pretty intricate. how long did it take? >> she's really fast. two hours? something like this. >> no way. >> trudy is a master of history in vienna. she was told to come to bang-bang world. i'm so honored to get a private session like this on new year's eve. you're an incredible talent. thank you so much. happy new year to you. >> happy new year to you. >> happy new year to you guys. i never thought i'd be revealing a tattoo after dionne warwick, but here we are. we love you all. >> we're lucky that you're here. we were having technical problems with dionne warwick. cheers to you. >> cheers to you ask your dad and your son and your beautiful family, bill. it's been quite a year for you. congratulations, friend, and that's a beautiful, beautiful piece of ink. well done. >> take them into the wilderness. make them fall in love with the wilderness. then they'll protect it. >> cheers. >> i love t. >> happy new year, guys. >> thank you so much. finish quantum with activeblu technology, cleans without pre-rinsing. switch to finish and skip the rinse to save water. >>> okay. so, it wouldn't be 2020 without a glitch, right? so sorry. >> i mean, it's 2021 technically, but still -- >> not in the central time zone. >> west. >> totally. >> we're going to make up. miss dionne warwick. >> the one and only miss dionne warwick. >> how are you? >> blessed. >> you said you turned 45. how did you become this internet social media sensation? i haven't even been able to capture what you've captured on social media. what happened? >> you know what? i've been being schooled by my niece who is a computer whiz kid. and i watched her one afternoon while she was doing her twitter, twitter. she was having so much fun. i said, well, i want to learn how to do that because i want to have some fun, too. she said, you really do, aunt dionne? i said, yeah. so she taught me how to do it and i've been having a bunch of fun ever since. >> i love that everybody calls you auntie dionne on social media, that you give shade or read people. do you figure out who you want to give shade to? i'm waiting if auntie dionne gives me shade. i don't know what i'm going to do. how do you figure it out? >> you know, i don't intentionally do that. >> right. right, right, um-hmm. >> more of an advice kind of situation. they finally have a grown up person on twitter. you know what i'm saying? i'm old enough to say what i want to say and do what i want to do. >> as you should be, as you should be, yeah, at age 40. >> do you mind if i tell your age or no? >> i'm 80. >> happy belated birthday. she said it, she's 80. i'm curious. 2020 was awful for people for many reasons. i'm wondering, what

twitter. twitter banned trump on january 8th. that was two days after the capitol riots. the "post" reports the findings highlight how falsehoods flow across social media sites, reinforcing and amplifying each other. and they offer an early indication of how concerted action against misinformation can make a real difference. >>> meanwhile, republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene saw her twitter suspended. twitter said they suspended the freshman lawmaker's account for 12 hours on sunday for multiple violations of the company's civic integrity policies. the georgia representative's most recent posts included false claims about voter fraud in the state, both in the presidential election and in the january senate runoffs. >>> and as president-elect joe biden prepares to take office, he is expected to pass a series of executive -- sign a series of executive orders and pass new legislation to try and signal a shift from the trump presidency. first up on the agenda, a return to the paris climate accords and a repeal of the ban on immigrants from select muslim-majority countries. biden is also set to sign nationwide restrictions on foreclosures and evictions and a mask mandate on federal property. in a memo, incoming white house chief of staff ron klain laid out the president-elect's plans for january. he wrote in part, quote, we face four overlapping and compounding crises -- covi

twitter account. and correct me if i'm wrong, the twitter -- twitter immediately took -- took it down. s ban is if trump tries to go on anybody else's account and post, this ban applies to any of those accounts. now, these are the potus account, the white house account. these are u.s. government accounts. twitter does not want to suspend these accounts because, in about, what, 10, 11, 12 days, they are going to be transferred to joe biden. these accounts are going to be transferred to biden. so, twitter is being very careful now watching to see if trump tries to post something else. and, anderson -- >> this is nice. like, the president of the united states is now trying to trick twitter and posting -- as if it's so important that he use twitter, somehow, as opposed to just making a statement. i mean, i guess, then he would have to be open to, you know, being confronted and talked to by reporters. and we lost brian. chief ramsey, as you heard earlier, the d.c. chief of police said that there was no intelligence. that there be a breach in the capitol. what can -- what should be done diffe

twitter was his most important microphone. what was it about the structure of twitter, the algorithm of twitter, the way twitter works that allowedo use it so successfully? remember, trump himself said he would not have become president were it not for twitter. if i were an engineer or project manager at twitter, i would spend a little bit of time thinking about values and whether trump should be on the platform, but i spend a lot of time thinking about what it is about this algorithm, what it is about the nature of this kind of social media that allowed trump to thrive and ultimately to incite the violence we saw at the capitol. >> you raised very important questions. what would you say -- do you have a singular question kind of regarding big tech going forward after this? real change or real fallout? do you see it? >> i think there will be real fallout, i think there will be a real splirntering, i think ther will be a lot of fallout. but the people who use social media, did we create a monster in social media? do the algorithms in social media inevitably lead to what we saw in the past week? and if they do, and i kind of think

guy fieri is the opposite of twitter. twitter is airing grievances.eople complain about stuff but don't do anything. senator once said we are a nation of whiners and he got a lot of flak or that. he was prophetic. >> guy fieri understands we are doing something and not just writing a check. greg: we hear the whiners but we don't hear the people like guy fieri and the people we get it done which i think is a phrase. but the point is you don't hear the people that are doing the work. we are a nation of non-whiners and whiners. i think it's down the middle right kat? >> i have been known to wine from time to time. like i said i think it's great when people do something especially if you are someone who has millions of dollars and you have that influence and the president isn't doing something. well you do something. >> it's like aoc. pelosi and schumer should be gone. greg: she is right though. >> a less congress can do the better. congress is convening. great, good. greg: we can do more and we will do more in our next segment. stick around. then i start

twitter explained, justified cutting off the president. i want to put up a couple of explanations. twitter said the president talking about american patriots is being interpreted on twitterr the mob that attacked the capital. twitter says the president announcing he won't attend the inauguration may encourage people to attack on january 20th because he won't be there. marie, is there some tortured reasoning there to ban president trump from twitter and what about the decision of amazon and other big tech companies now to basically shut down parler, a social media platform that conservatives have chosen instead of twitter and facebook? >> well, chris, donald trump has arguably violated twitter's rules that they have for their platform for years now. so while this last week's that he posted may not have been his worst, certainly he has done worse things on twitter, they where i think probably the last straw in the most interesting part of twitter's statement i think was the last statement, how they have information both from their platform and from other sources that donald trump was encouraging violence around the inauguration to come. so not just punishing him for violen

twitter is being sued for refusing to remove child porn because it didn't violate policies. a minor in california filed a suit saying he sent graphic images to somebody blackmailing him. the lawsuit alleges twitter refused to take them down because an investigation didn't find a violation of the company's policy. the pictures were eventually taken down, but only after the department of homeland security got involved. twittero respond to a "watters' world." but they said they have policies that prohibit child exploitation. the lawsuit was filed jointly with the national center against child exploitation. you can post a meme and get nuked off twitter. but you can put child porn up and that doesn't violate twitter's policy. >> it's pretty stunning. we were shocked when we first saw the allegations. verified them and investigated them, and they are have much what happened to this young boy. his life was turned upside down. jesse: do you see any possible reason why twitter would investigate it, and if you investigate you see it's child pornography. what reason could there possibly be for them to say it doesn't violate company policy? >> i don't think there is a reason. it's clear in the company policy that anything that would violate a child should be banned and taken down. we see people with republican views being band. people that are aaffiliated with the president of the united states being banned. countles

. >> there are new crackdowns over the past week from platforms like facebook and twitter, twitter alonecounts. so we are a really seeing these platforms finally getting serious about misinformation, about this election. but the question is why now? maybe an insurrection could have been avoided here if this had been done last week. >> so what is the reaction to sandburg's statements? >> yeah, sheryl sandberg is trying to down play facebook's k culpability. and she 2k3wgave an interview. have a listen. >> i think these events were margin alally organized plat fo that don't have our standards and our transparency. >> she's sort of trying to cherrypick what facebook did without mentioning that the whole stop the steal movement went viral on facebook, qanon was spreading on facebook for years. and just this week, i came being a cross a video that had 5 million views before facebook it ghig about anything about it and it was repeating antifa that were responsible for the violence here last week. so if you have a platform like facebook and in the days and weeks after an insurrection in which t

twitter dropped a bombshell, shutting down account. >> of all the toys donald trump likes to play with is twitter that he prides most of all and to take that away from him the an masculating moment. howie: liz claman, much of twitterrating twitter's move. twitter saying that some people were perceiving this as code to start talking about another attack on the capitol next week. how can anybody be held be responsible for what others say if you're not even alluding to violence? liz: well, this goes to the whole thing that president trump wanted altered which was section 230, the liability shield. but let's just hoover 30,000 feet above this. free speech is protected, you know, by congress when it comes to things that are government sponsored or entity such as public schools, privately-held companies, privately-run companies are protected. they can do whatever they want. if you own a restaurant and somebody is being too loud, boisterous, you can throw them out and there's nothing he or she can do about it. you can't sue. the twitter mega phone being silenced for president trump is significant because that's the tool to rise above traditional media, doing a sit-down with chris wallace or whoever, and use it to get his

twitter slapped with a massive child porn lawsuit. jesse: president trump and many conservatives banned from twitter. now twittersued for refusing to remove child porn because it didn't violate policies. a minor in california filed a suit saying he sent graphic images to somebody blackmailing him. the lawsuit alleges twitter refused to take them down because an investigation didn't find a violation of the company's policy. the pictures were eventually taken down, but only after the department of homeland security got involved. twitter has yet to respond to a "watters' world." but they said they have policies that prohibit child exploitation. the lawsuit was filed jointly with the national center against child exploitation. you can post a meme and get nuked off twitter. but you can put child porn up and that doesn't violate twitter's policy. >> it's pretty stunning. we were shocked when we first saw the allegations. verified them and investigated them, and they are have much what happened to this young boy. his life was turned upside down. jesse: do you see any possible reason why twitter would investigate it, an

that trump posted to team trump twitter account with about 3000000 followers that's his one of his campaign twitter accounts and then after he posted a message there twitter immediately shut down that account completely well you're following all that i mean it's basic been a cat and mouse game between twitter and trump all night bottom line here is trump did send out a message to journalists a statement if you will and in he said that twitter is trying to stifle spirit free speech and he also said that they're trying. twitter is trying to silence him and his supporters bottom line though is this is a dramatic step by twitter because unlike temporarily shutting his account or adding warnings to some of his tweets in this case they simply closed it his account and they say permanently yeah gavan away from the twitter wars i guess i mean house democrats say they're now putting together of impeachment against trump what's been the response to all of this. yeah we'll have to find out probably on monday the response because that's when it's expected to be taken up in the house of representatives this is the articles of impeachment this is just a draft that has
