on youtube kids, and even on youtube for all under 18 users, autoplay is off by default. in the coming months, we will launch additional parental controls in the youtube app. the parents can choose a locked default autoplay setting. a take a break reminders and bedtime reminders are also involved in these experiences. youtube treats personal information from anyone watching children's content on the platform is coming -- as coming from a child, regardless of the age of user. this means on videos classified as made for kids, that we limit data collection and use. as a result, we restrict or disable certain features. for example, we do not serve personalized ads on this content on the main youtube platform. we do not support features such as comments or live chat. we have never allowed personalized advertising on youtube kids or unsupervised experiences. -- or on supervised experiences. there is no issue more important than the safety of kids online and we are working closely to address these challenges. thank you for the opportunity to appear here today, and i look forward

we want to dig in, youtube, google of course which owns youtube, twitter reaching the next generation of consumers, ones that want content, information, trading tools. taylor, first let's dig into the financial details. taylor: let's start with google. the big headline number, and i will keep this broad and brief him cloud revenue growth slowing just a little bit. getting revenue that -- you are seeing a little bit to the downside with the slowing growth within the cloud segment. that is the opposite when it comes to microsoft. the cloud computing strength has been fueling sales and profit growth. when we talk about the at environments on google, you want to talk about that with twitter, at least twitter says we are up 3% because maybe the impact from the apple and the supply chains, like we heard from facebook, maybe those aren't as bad as we thought. they are seeing less of an impact. texas instruments is a big mover on the day. the overlying headline is that you are getting weakness on some of the revenue forecasts. sonali: are you taking a look at robinhood as well? taylor: yes. w

autoplay's default off on youtube supervised experiences on youtube. we have set those two default off. we do allow that if the default is changed to allow for autoplay. for example if a family is in car and the parents have decided they want autoplay to continue. but we have set it to a default of off. >> do you believe that's sufficient? >> i think it's one of a number of tools that are important to make sure that kids have a healthy and safe experience on the platform. another is that we do not deliver targeted advertising on youtube kids. another is that we age gate content to make sure that minors do not see ainge-inappropriate material. it's only with a number of tools and protocols in place that do we think we are meeting the bar we have set for ourselves and the parents expect of us. experts in the fields of child development advise us to make sure that kids have a safe experience on the platform. >> thank you. mr beckerman, after my staf reviewed your privacy policy, i want to list some of the items that tiktok automatically collect from one o

and youtube kids as well as .[inaudible]. >> would you support a man. and if we have not waited for law and order to put those protections in place. >> all i hope that you will and that you will be forthcoming the next round of questioning alternate ranking member now. >> thank you. in the past talk you said that but it never share and provide use of data to the chinese government even if asked in a privacy policy said that you can disclose data collected to respond to government inquiries and also that you share data you collect with your parent companies and affiliates that you transmit user information to servers and data centers overseas and earlier this year, the chinese communist party acquired an ownership stake in a seat on the board. so this tiktok chair data with its parent company. >> thank you and this is an important question i'm glad you're asking rated tiktok, we do not share information with the chinese government and would like to point to the citizen lab report one of the most well-respected glob

then tish, accusing the youtube platform of censorship. will now talk about sensor, so by youtube. yes. within an overly narrow opinion corridor with respect to certain topics during the pandemic were found out that opinions that are not mainstream. the don't echo what the government would like to hear. these opinions were quickly confined to a color branded as extreme with the removal. we now see how something is selectively targeted, dangerous assaults on freedom of discussion took place. and the judge rightly decided against youtube or hadn't the big question is, can you to possess 2 who sit there and says, what is right or wrong from a medical standpoint? well, build presented a very different message. last month, when arte deutsch, arte internationals, german language says the channel had its youtube channel, permanently removed for what, what was claimed. it was the, the publishing of covered disinformation. now, artie deutsch at the time said, and they maintain that what they were doing was giving air to different opinions. and asking though, similar difficult questions abou

will youtube put them back on their platform? and if they do that, what does that mean for the future of artie deutsch on youtube? because youtube has a long list of topics about the pandemic that it deems misinformation and are subject to removal. the platform argues that spreading such material poses a serious risk of agree just harm and runs counter to advice by the world health organization. or jim or professor from the discussion panel than youtube removed, told us that it's a matter of freedom of speech. thus, you don't need i, if something has been stamped with the word, this information, fake news. in other words, that youtube has the right even should remove it. the only question is who makes the decision of what is disinformation? i then the next question and who are they and above all, are they independent? almost always not in these are all very dangerous developments and say that we have freedom of the press and freedom of speech. i'm very sorry, but it's not that simple. didn't need to understand the freedom of the

so youtube will silence you.reached out to youtube and asked them to come on the show to explain their censorship. eventually they sent us this statement. they said it was all just a mistake. but we know that's not true. that statement came from youtube's corporate pr department after our own team here at fox reached out to them. they wanted to avoid a negative story, so they tried to pretend it was all just a mistake. sorry, guys, mistakes happen. yeah. but it's funny how the mistakes always seem to happen in one direction. it always seems to involve conservative voices, silencing views that challenge the establishment. and, in fact, we have evidence that despite youtube's corporate spin, this was not a mistake. it was a deliberate act of censorship. and it would have succeeded if it wasn't for the fact that we were going to talk about it tonight the, because we appealedded youtube's decision using their normal process. and this is the reply we got to that. they said they carefully reviewed our episode and confi

go well beyond youtube. videos from youtube get shared all over the place. on facebook, on websites. i mean, the big question is how effective will they actually follow through with this policy? will youtube actually live up to their word? i should mention a spokesperson for the company told us that since that employee we spoke to there in that piece, since they worked for the company a few years ago, that youtube says it sort of gotten its act together a bit more on vaccine misinformation. they brought in new rules, new changes to their algorithms. but all that being said, i mean, it is pretty stunning, anderson, that we are almost two years into this pan demmic and it's only now the company is putting in a widespread ban on the ridiculous claim that the vaccine have microchips in them. >> donie o'sullivan, appreciate it. thanks. we'll be right back. wealth is your first big investment. worth is a partner to help share the load. wealth is saving a little extra. worth is knowing it's never too late to start

tiktok and youtube are still collecting data on this age group, though youtube says it will reduce thefacebook, which owns instagram. what's clear is the new code doesn't stop companies collecting personal data on under—18s. ad tech and big tech sometimes know more about a young person than their parents do. and that can be in ways that might get them in trouble with their parents. heather burns is a digital rights activist. she says uk data protection laws didn't need strengthening, theyjust need better enforcement. there are laws and legal frameworks in place. the question is, are they accessible to people? are companies obeying them, working within the law? we need companies to be more conscientious of the fact that children are using their products and services. and they need to find a way to help protect those children, without actually violating their privacy and their right to freedom of expression even more. but the biggest difference i think we could make is in terms of advertising and ad tech, and the networks of advertisers that are collecting and utilising and monetising da

then tish, accusing the youtube platform of censorship. will now talk about sensor sir, by youtube. yes. within an overly narrow opinion chord line of respect. chrysler doors, oprah i didn't tune the pandemic compounds al days, opinions are not mainstream. when i pad, don't dare camino come with li here. ladies. opinions 1000000 find to call around in the country and with the younger we now see how something is the last civilians . how get in danger settled on the freedom of discussions with nicholas and george rightly decided, it gives you to apprehend. it is a big question is how can you to help this truth little says what is right or wrong as from a medical standpoint. well build presented a very different message last month when arte deutsche arte internationals, german language says the channel had its youtube channel permanently removed, for what was claimed. it was the, the publishing of covered disinformation. now, artie deutsch at the time said, and they maintain that what they were doing was giving air to different opinions and asking those similar, difficult questions abo

facebook, instagram, youtube, tiktok., these days i almost feel my digital life is indistinguishable from my real one. i mean, if i didn't instagram it, did it even really happen? i know that advertising is a part of this, and recently i noticed the return of some old anxieties, alongside a high number of diet—related ads. it made me ask, just how much do social media companies really know about me, and what impact is this having on children growing up today? i've come to holyrood secondary, scotland's biggest high school, to ask these 14 and is—year—olds — are they on their social media accounts as much as me? i could spend, like, five hours on tiktok and maybe on weekends, like, 10, 11 hours. a good few hours a day on instagram. because you just get so, like, distracted by it that everything else is like...doesn�*t exist for a moment. i showed them my instagram feed. did anything jump out at you? yeah. i think about 60% of what was there was either an ad or, like, a promotion for something. is it really sort of obvious

in other words, than youtube has the right even should remove it. the only question is, who makes the decision? what is disinformation than the next question? who are they and above all, are they independent? almost always not. these are all very dangerous developments and say that we have freedom of the press and freedom of speech. i'm very sorry, but it's not that simple. you need to understand the freedom of the press even in our country, is in great danger. because of course, any press depends on whether it can and how it can distribute is publication through platforms such as youtube and twitter. france has top catholic bishop has been reprimanded by the interior minister for saying that priests cannot report child sex abuse if it's revealed during confession. his remarks followed revelations that since the 1950s, more than 300000 children, have been sexually abused by french catholic clergy and other individuals associated with the church. the bishop backtracked after being summoned by the government as archie's charlotte davinsky reports now

miller: we do not allow for this on the youtube kids platform. senator markey: the american academy of pediatrics declared it a national state of emergency for children and teen mental health. we need to outlaw the online features that exacerbate this crisis. the question that we have to answer ultimately is whether or not, for example, we're going to ban auto play for kids with this feature when one video ends, another quickly begins, kids stay glued to their phones so app collect more data and make more money. today 82% of parents are worried about their kids' screen time. each of you today, do you agree congress should ban auto play for kids, yes or no? mrs. miller, we'll start with you this time? mrs. miller: senator, each of the outlines we prohibit. we have the default set to auto play off on youtube kids as well as for supervised experiences. senator markey: you would support that being legislated? mrs. miller: yes, sir. senator markey: mr. beckerman: we have take a break and time management tools but on tiktok you have to proactively swit

the supplies not only to youtube, youtube is just one of the many platforms where the public expresses opinion. but there are many other areas of media also being censored in the same way. the situation is of great concern. it is unlikely that the videos were randomly removed . i think that this was done on purpose. so next, so story i want to follow up again for you today. it's such a big story been cut covering all week from says top catholic bishop, as acknowledged that the country's laws must be above the packs of confessional secrecy. earlier he insisted that child sex abuse couldn't be reported if it was revealed during confession. now all this after report uncovered hundreds of thousands of sex crimes against miners within france. his catholic church, following its shallow dimansky from paris, france's top bishop and now recanting from those comments that he made early this week, which provoked such fury hearing from, from individuals on the street to the french government themselves. this was due long before who had suggested following the release of an explosive report which s

>> at youtube, we prohibit personalized advertising on youtube kids, as well as unsupervised experiences. -- as on supervised experiences. sen. blumenthal: would you support a ban in law? >> we have not waited for laws to put those protections into place. sen. blumenthal: i hope that you will and that you will be more forthcoming in the next round of questioning. i will turn it over. to the ranking member. >> thank you mr. chairman. mr. beckerman, i want to come to you first. in the past, tiktok has said it has never nor would it ever share or provide user data to the chinese government, even if asked. yet your privacy policy says you can disclose data collected to respond to government inquiries. it also says you shared data you collect with parent companies and affiliates and that you transmit user information to servers and data centers overseas. and earlier this year, the chinese communist party acquired an ownership state and a seat on the board of bytedance. does tiktok share data with its parent company, bytedance? >> this is an important question and i am glad you are asking. >>

we look at the youtube rabbit holes. and a productive point of view about the delusions that fueled the big lie. >>> first, what is facebook doing to us? maybe the better question is phrased this way, what are we doing to each other with the tools, with the weapons facebook is providing? that is going to be a big theme this coming week as a consortium you of news outlets come out with stories based observe internal facebook reports and discussions. these are just a few of the participating news outfits, cnn, ap, "the times," the atlantic, bloomberg, and the ap said it's coming out monday, kicking off what axios called a week-long facebook flood. but all we're we are seeing reports like this one on the top page of "the washington post" this morning looking at reactions signed facebook after january 6th. the stories are based in part on the documents that frances haugen smuggled out of facebook. she handed over evidence to the sec alleging facebook had been misleading investors and the public. now redacted versions of thos

will youtube put them back on their platform? and if they do that, what does that mean for the future of artie deutsch on youtube or twitter thinks it's got an answer for when online conversations get rowdy and potentially offensive is trying out a new feature that was users entering an online chat that things could get quite heated, although some of the content being flagged in the trial run has left uses feeling a bit confused. oh, whoa. there intense conversation about the weather, bro. seriously, this is the lamest one yet. to return. what's intense about this conversation? can't believe this is happening on here under intense conversations. dear to it's a, i'm a generation x sir. it's gonna take more than an intense conversation to bother me . i. so how does it work? i have twitter spots, a chat thread with opposing views being thrashed out, and someone wants to join in a message pops up saying heads up. conversations like this can be intense, or it's still not clear whether or not twitter scanning full contentious subject m

ah, not that which had been flagged by youtube, of course. but nonetheless, both pages were completely deleted by youtube without any warning. now what's interesting is that there are no clear rules saying that you can run a separate page or maybe even start a new page if you are suspended on youtube for whatever reason. besides those 4 videos and question that rti doors receive strikes for are contained criticism of the government's approach of the pandemic voiced by other medical experts not by journalists. so, ah, to claim that this was medical a mis information, misinterpretation well in the eyes of archie george that saw debatable so is ality denying and the wrong doings it challenging this man. while they're saying that they receive an unfair treatment. and actually the 1st to common on that story in russia was our own editor in chief museum, co deletes for several months before a chance were banned. the german media had been publishing care stories about r t, german becoming 2 influential to significant according to their own calculati

the effects of this go beyond youtube and youtube's inaction of this go well beyond youtube. on facebook and websites. the big question is howf how effective will they follow throw? a spokesperson for the company said since that employee, we spoke in that piece since they work for the company a few years ago, youtube says it got its act together more on vaccine misinformation. they brought in new rules and changes to the algorithms but that being said, it's pretty stunning anderson that we're almost two years into this pandemic and it's only now the company is putting in a wide spread ban on the ridiculous claim that the vaccines have micro chips in them. >> appreciate it. thanks. we'll be right back. wealth is saving a little extra. worth is knowing it's never too late to start - or too early. ♪ ♪ wealth helps you retire. worth is knowing why. ♪ ♪ principal. for all it's worth. you're driving innovation. you're racing to the cloud. you need to do it securely. that's why palo alto networks developed prisma cloud - an integrated platform that secures your cloud environment end

will youtube put them back on their platform? and if they do thought, what does that mean for the future of artie deutsch on youtube? meanwhile, in the u. s. popular social media network, twitter thinks it's got an answer for when conversations get routing and in its opinion, offensive the platforms trying out a new feature that warns users entering an online chat that things could get quite heated. although some of the content flagged in the trial run has left users a bit, can flee a bit confused. oh, woe there are intense conversation about the weather, bro. seriously, this is the last one yet. to return. what's intense about this conversation? can believe this is happening on it on the intense conversations did to it's a i'm a generation x sir, is going to take more than an intense conversation to bother me. so how does it work? if twitter spots a chat thread with opposing views being thrashed out and someone wants to join in a message pops up saying heads up, conversations like this can be intense. it's still not clear though

howie: i'm not seeing many if any critical stories challenging youtube's action here.e social media to lie about the vaccine. the key question is debate. and then i read in youtube's explanation, well, the company will allow personal testimonials on vaccine as long as the channel, the youtube channel, doesn't show a pattern of promoting vaccine hesitancy. that sounds pretty subjective. >> that's the key, is no one thinks lying is a good thing or even healthy. it isn't. the problem is, the history of the vaccine is one where these authorities have gotten things wrong, really critical things wrong over and over. so if you had gone in march of 2020 and done a youtube video saying i think you should all wear masks even if you're not symptomatic, you would have done deemed at that time for -- that you were spreading covid disinformation because fauci and the w.h.o. were saying don't wear a mask, it's unnecessary and may be even dangerous. what is a scientific -- what if things evolve over time? it's crucial we remain free to question pronouncements of any authorities, and t

then tish, accusing the youtube platform of censorship. we'll now talk about censorship by you. chill yet within an overly narrow latino cora line and respectfully, little by little during the panoramic. we have the founded opinion car and not mainstreamed. i had a don't. a kind of government would like to hear by these opinions are quickly confined to a call. i rounded as extreme with the removal. we now see how something is selectively targeted. reasoning was hard for him. that house there were no proper reasons. it was all him for all turn horse dangerous to select on freedom or discussion that took place. and the judge rightly decided again that you feel yeah, the big question is of can you to basis or to sit there and says, what is roy or roy? i from a medical stamp. what does this? yes, mean it's in a city. what if i should say something has made me very happy? i'm glad that he treat blasted 8 an actress and the argument has english house related to step. well built presents is a very different message last month when artie deutsch,

to youtube they experience discovering all types of content. as a company we do not prioritize profits over safety. we invest heavily in make insure or platforms are safe for our users and we do not wait to act. we put systems and practices and protocols in place that over time we have relied on with the world around us. for example we rolled out our -- and we realized those under 13 were trying to get on youtube's main platform. we. it safe place for them on youtube kids and the addition we are a transparent company. we have rolled outtr her first quarterly transparency report in 2018 and we continue to update that on a quarterly basis are we share additional metrics and we have rolled out a -- statistic earlier this year. we believe being a company where responsibility is the number one party where we are consular trying to bounce the freedom of expression and being responsible is something that is ingrained in our dna and we are very proud of the work we have done but we know there is always more for us to do. >> i'm going to leverage of the

let's start with youtube. what's going on there?ing that wasn't really expected and expanded their already covid-19 vaccine misinformation ban to include all anti-vaccination misinformation. that is a huge job, because as you noted, anti-vaxers have spent over a decade building up on these platforms when traditional media would no longer host their nonsense and shenanigans, they went to social media. they placed ads, they made content, they got really good at getting big audiences. so they've grown really, really strong networks there. now, apparently, youtube says they're no longer welcome. facebook banned them in february of this year. and is doing not so great of a job enforcing that ban. so we really have yet to see how youtube will do this, whether they'll be successful. it's not looking good, though. >> you tweeted on september 19th, the question now, as always is, will youtube enforce their new policy. will anti-vaxers, a savvy, financially motivated opportunity bunch, get the better of the platforms again. because they seem

we have no advertising is set for youtube.from youtube, considerable feeds over the years, revenues that can generate. the overwhelming majority of our income, 85% is from supporters who are quite happy to make a regular payment, to support our work. and that's not that unique when you think about for instance the guardian, which is free to read but they say, would you like to support ourjournalism because we produce something quite distinct from the mail or the express. there is a significantly large audience that is willing to pay for it. they're willing to also pay for the idea that other people can read this content without there being a payoff. without there being a paywall. we operate something quite similar. yes, it's worked and my message to people who are sceptical about that, or want to enter the media, is there is a huge appetite for new ways of doing things, different kind of content, for what you might see in media. you can find your audience, this great essay by kevin kelly, about 20 years ago. many of the lesson

we moved it to youtube.an who was part of that story knew we moved it to youtube, and yet, now comes forward and says i didn't know. i didn't know. of course he knew. >> okay. let's accept that as fact. what about the sharing of the ozzy osbourne. you said they were investors. sharon osbourne said she's never met carlos watson. >> it's true she hasn't met me, and it's true that as a result of her suing us, so she sued uz over our music and ideas festival, the agreement was we were going to give her shares in the company, and the way i think about it, i think the way a lot of people think about it, if you own shares in the company, you're an investor. she may not have liked that word. i'm not going to raise money by telling sophisticated people that sharon osbourne is an investor. i think i said that clearly in the cases. what i want to say is the last couple of days gave a lot of people a chance to take cheap shots. that's not to say there aren't things we can do better. we need to do better an data and mark

i saw it on youtube because sometimes they have check out videos on youtube. this eight year old in alameda, said she was browsing youtube in bed when she saw a video of a teacher being slapped. i thought it should not be happening, and i felt that from the teacher who got slapped in a statement sent to ktvu, a tiktok spokesperson, said the company would aggressively remove that kind of content. but the reality is that we have not found it on our platform. most people appear to be learning about the offline bear from sources other than tiktok. i don't think like anybody really likes having like. their challenge is like taking control of, but when it gets so out of hand, it becomes like a need to have that at will see would middle school in alameda students say the girls and boys bathrooms have been vandalized and blame the popular devious licks challenge on tiktok for the destruction? one of the stall doors was messed up, and one of these soap dispensers was pulled out of the wall. somebody got caught taking us exit sign off of the top of a door. it's not okay

a video to youtube. the rubber meets the road and goldman sachs, which was about to invest $20 million - wants to talk to youtube, just a kind of check in on how that| business is and they rather- than putting them on the phone with a youtube executive who willjust say, - they're just guys who upload videos, _ they impersonate said youtube executive and say, well, - these ozy guys are amazing and they got caught. - immediately. at i say now that ozy has admitted to this impersonation incident and attributed it to a mental health episode. that last detail is named - after the poem ozymandias, which the founder, i the founder believes was dream big. and famous also and breaking bad, i believe. but, ben, before all this happened, ozy media it was assembling itself as a major player. it had some big collaborations, and one comes to mind. i worked on the world services feedback programme, and there was a lot of praise for a series that ozy did. so it was an appealing investment, was it not, going to tradition
