zuckerberg. i shared that highlights how not as the advertisers the platforms themselves can perpetuate discrimination. can you discuss how you think targeted amendments to section 230 can address some of the actions of the platforms? >> right now we are all in this situation where we have to go to facebook and ask for their benevolence in dealing with the harms on their platform. going to billionaires where every single day there incentive structure's growth and profit over safety and integrity. we've done this before with other industries. congress has done this before the other industries. we create rules that hold them accountable and right now whether it's their product design what they recommend and what they lead you to, or it is in the paid advertising and content. facebook is completely not accountable. the other thing i think is incredible is they believe that they do not have to adhere to civil rights laws. they said that before congress, they said that to us. the idea we will allow th

in a statement on his facebook page, mark zuckerberg said of the allegations by his former employee:gle, google created a parent company — alphabet. and that's what facebook has done. it's created meta, an umbrella organisation for facebook, instagram, whatsapp and all its other businesses, which takes its name from the metaverse, the virtual reality domain that mark zuckerberg believes is the future of digital life. and it's all change at twitter, which has a new boss. a few weeks ago, jack dorsey announced — or rather tweeted — he is to resign from the company he created 16 years ago. chief technical officer parag agrawal has taken over. here in the uk, the regulator ofcom introduced the children's code to protect children's data online. its focus will be gaming, social media and video streaming. companies, even those who are based abroad, will have to adhere to a series of standards. if they don't, they could face heavy sanctions. hi! today's teenagers have never known the world before the internet. life online has massively expanded. ijust wondered if i could talk to you guys for

and despite being zuckerberg -- one of zuckerberg's top lieutenants and running instagram, he has got very little scrutiny relative to zuckerberg in the past. so yesterday was a big day out for him. and we saw a lot of tense exchanges between senators and between masari. have a listen. >> keeping people safe is not just about any one company. we believe there should be an industry body that will determine the best practices when it comes to what i think are the three most important questions with regards to youth safety. how to verify age, how to build age-appropriate experiences and how to build parental controls. >> reporter: and one question that was asked by senator richard blumenthal from connecticut was that even when parents of young people see troubling content on the app, when they see it on facebook or they see it on instagram and they report it to instagram, oftentimes instagram does nothing. have a listen. >> shouldn't children and parents have the right to report dangerous material on youth and get a response? get some action? because we've heard harrowing stories from pa

he is one of mark zuckerberg's top lieutenants, but although zuckerberg has had a lot of bad press overation right now and in some ways ostracized. mazari earlier this year was the co-chair of the met gala. we saw him there on the red carpet at that event. he hasn't got the public scrutiny that zuckerberg has despite running this huge platform. yesterday ahead of the hearing facebook and instagram announced some new features. i think we have a list of them, that would put parents in control of more safety measures for young users on the platform, including a prompt telling people to take a break. some people say that's a good step. others say it's just to give mazari a talking point on capitol hill today. of course, people will say it isn't really addressing the more fundamentals of the algorithm, speaking of which, new reporting overnight, investigation research done by a tech advocacy group, called the tech transparency project. they set up accounts that were accounts belonging to 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17-year-olds, accounts belonging to teenagers, to kids. they quickly found these kids

it is very different to zuckerberg. he is seen as quite personable. it is his first time testifying before congress. and unlike zuckerberg, he hasn't got that public scrutiny that we have seen of other executives like sandberg or mark himself. even this year mosseri was honored as a co-chair of the met gala. this is going to be his first time testifying. i expect us to hear the regular kind of excuses, to be honest, saying this is hard stuff, we can't find it all, we're never going to be able to solve all our problems while also turning a multibillion dollar profit. and just one more thing i want to add, brianna, last week we reported on this show how there were ads, paid ads, running on facebook, comparing the vaccine to the holocaust and comparing covid restrictions in the u.s. to nazi germany. now, when we brought those ads to facebook's attention, they said they were against their covid misinformation policies and took them down. last night we found the same ads, the exact same ads are still running on the platform.

facebook founder mark zuckerberg just purchased 110 acres on the island of kauai.cost him 17 million bucks. includes some controversy, though, related to a reservoir there that previously flooded killing seven people. zuckerberg and his wife priscilla chan say they are committed to fulfilling legal requirements when it comes to maintaining reservoir safety. couple already owns more than a thousand acres on that island. >>> live look now at san francisco and san jose. the top two most expensive cities to retire in. according to a new list. financial website magnify money says san francisco requires the biggest retirement nest egg of any metro area in the nation. more than a million -- $1.5 million. san francisco. san jose, almost as expensive. requiring retirees to have about $1.4 million in savings. and for the next spot, well, it's pretty much tied for the next three spots. honolulu at 1.37, then comes santa cruz which came in a hair more expensive if you can believe that than new york city. well, it went down to the wire at chase center tonight. ooh. >>> one of t

mark zuckerberg in an article a couple days ago said that his dad told you could either have a mcdonald's franchiseth or i continue to harvard. i know, isn't that a great story? just to wrap our heads around it, but that myth of the possibility in the franchise system it think it's so powerfu, but all of this is to say that the economy shifted rapidly so that these jobs were not possible in terms of creating stable, working families. for 1s effectively raise that consciousness among a lot of people. but still the $15 an hour wage is not enough. i used to work in oklahoma city attacked and the university of oklahoma. i remember when companies would come in, people would say these are great jobs we talked up a lot because oklahoma city is not expensive. as if this is the kind of barometer for economic growth. this is how the fast food practices really mushroomed. low wages, inconsistent scheduling, sexual harassment, no paid sick leave, workers are expendable. this is the moment we are contending with it. >> we are running short on time. for any questions please get them, please come up to

facebook has known since 2018, mark has publicbly made comments on it, mark zuckerberg, saying prioritizing content or ads based on their ability to provoke a reaction from you, which is usually the most extreme and polarizing content. it's dangerous because people are drawn to engage with extreme content. but mark said at the time, it's okay. ai will save us. the only problem is the ai misses lots and lots of problems. in the case of hate speech, only 3% to 5% of hate speech is caught. i won't be surprised if they had policies against anti-vaccine content like this that they let a similar amount of that content through. >> it's been almost two months since you spoke out about facebook's misinformation problems. and when you see ads like this that say i'm originally from america but i currently ready in 1941 germany on the platform this week, are you surprised that this is still still prevalent? >> i'm not surprised at all. one of the things that i think most people don't understand is that while i've spent most of my time talking about how engagement-based ranking amplifies the most extrem

not instagram or what's at could build that those muscles but we don't because according to mark zuckerberg's own e-mails he said i would rather thrive in compete and then said they are in the brand and they could become disruptive to us that is a very disruptive definition of a monopoly and through capitalism much i truly believe in you cannot develop the bills and muscles if you have some kind of antitrust enforcement. you can do both you can allow capitalism without squelching new competitors and rules in place like privacy. >> you don't need to tell us that you can about your private conversations with mark zuckerberg but he would say look we are trying to work this through. you have no idea the volume that comes in the speed with which it comes in to invest in artificial intelligence to control this. we're doing the best anybody can and the worst that could happen is a government five years behind the times or five months behind the times try to tell us how to do our business. >> they have said trust us for a long time. i'm not telling them how to do their business i'm just putting some

on the one hand you have these companies that created their own rules that faced with mark zuckerberg'sersonal view how the world works there are early architects of these platforms got together in a room and what would be acceptable to post online when it came to facebook some of those rules have been very critical of have to use your real name your authentic name but it still really problematic framework the other was no nudity no sexual expression which again it is understandable acquitted somebody and on and flee from facebook who said all the time okay fair enough but at the same time i don't think they foresaw what it means in 2021 to do that to have binary lines around gender and gender expression. so a lot of these movements stick through without being thought. it is a combination from pressure from the ngo that we had seen as they become very reactive to public demand. facebook in particular to play both sides and then also to christian conservative organizations and i find that to be inappropriate. one of the more vexing is the way they use their global community sensitivities
