we know that the president called mark zuckerberg on friday. supposedly, zuckerberg told the president that he was disappointed in the tone, putting facebook in a difficult decision. meantime, you have facebook employees walking out this week in the first, to my knowledge, public display of protest. you have a couple of facebook employees resigning today publicly because of this decision. owen anderson, a facebook employee to much, "i am proud to announce that as of the end of today, i am no longer a facebook employee. another employee posted on facebook, saying -- --annot refute a company so used to public scrutiny, and we have seen mark zuckerberg stand his ground in the midst of public scrutiny, i wonder if internal scrutiny from employees has got to moderate his stance. david: i think that is a good point. the thing that zuckerberg depends upon the nose -- depends upon the most is talented engineers. the and public resignations today are some extent a first. resigned, about a year ago, one of his top deputies, there was a public aroma to th

everything with facebook boils down to its ceo, mark zuckerberg. he makes the ultimate decisions. he is the person who approves the policies and is the person who, if the algorithm isn't aggressive enough to stop this speech, he can say let's make it more aggressive. facebook in the last few years has taken measures to respond to some of the complaints against it, but clearly it's not doing the job if its own employees are writing letters and walking off thejob, complaining writing letters and walking off the job, complaining that zuckerberg's zeal for free expression doesn't stop the toxic speech. so how serious is that pressure coming from employees and how effective could it be? in a way it's a bigger threat than even these advertisers that have decided to stay away for a month. ultimately they will have to come back because facebook is so powerful, if forced to sell their products. but the employees are something facebook cannot shrug off because if mark zuckerberg wa nts to because if mark zuckerberg wants to keep his company vital and viable, he is going to need the best peo

what is mark zuckerberg been saying in his own defence? his defence for keeping donald trump's comments on facebook without warnings or hiding them all without misleading labels which is what twitter has done come he hasn't wanted to touch any of that and his defence, which is fairness to him a defence he has had had right from the beginning of facebook is that he wants the site to be committed to free expression and he sees serious issues with him as an individual having censorship rights over millions of people and billions of businesses and political groups and what they can freely publish on his site. and he has a point at that. i think when we look at accountability for free speech and who decides if something is problematic if something is dangerous or hate speech, you would like it to go through very clear channels and i just like it to go through very clear channels and ijust rest with one individual. whereas twitter is taking the opposite approach and finally it now after much debate about it, seems to have decided that their poli

sheryl sandberg and mark zuckerberg have done a good job. but it feels as if the stable door is open and the horse has long departed. mark: listen, i think the leadership as you mentioned, clearly is tone deaf to the reality of what is going on around them, and mark and shirl are bright people. they know what's going on. -- the that is mercantile decision is the dense shenzhen -- the mercantile decision is the decision that is benefited them. other companies like apple are much more in tune of what is going on around them. and so, like you see a lot of companies, they only get reactive when things get quite a bad, and advertiser start to flee, and revenues leave the door. that is what we are seeing today. they are not on the cutting edge of what is going on. lastsat back and we saw summer, mark zuckerberg was in front of congress and he looked great and spend a few days in front of congress me 12 month later, we are having the same exact conversation. the status quo has paid them, but i think right now, their advertisers are fleeing and you

i know that you were in and listening to the call that mark zuckerberg had, how does it go? >> after a week of real turmoil zuckerberg had an emergency question and answer session and his point being that he really wanted to explain the position that facebook had, why they are not taking down any of the president's post on the network. it was pretty tense and to his credit, he allowed the employees to sort of directly question him and put their concerns to him on video chat, on air. but, a lot of his responses were basically in line with the idea that it didn't break our terms of service and basically on twitter they led to violence or voter suppression and that zuckerberg, even though he personally found his rhetoric distasteful and really uncomfortable, he felt he needed to keep the post up on the network . >> mike, how important is it that these companies are not regulated but they could be, facebook, twitter, social media companies, they could be the same as the telephone and now those are heavily regulated. do you think that regulation is coming and you think that mark

i'm of the opinion after listening to mark zuckerberg that he doesn't really believe in this stuff. he wants the stuff that's going to be most engaging and that tends to be the stuff we don't like. and most engaging tends to be most profitable. philosophically he doesn't share your view on this. >> no. he wants to -- he wants growth and profit and time and time again meeting after meeting someone that keeps themselves as both chair person and ceo controls 60% of the shares. facebook has 2.6 billion users. that's more followers than christianity. a private person should not control a square that big and that has that many folks. the fact of the matter is his incentive structure time and time again is focused on growth and profit at the expense of so many folkses. the fact that white nationalist groups are sent invitations to set up facebook pages, the fact they don't take responsibility that the content and information on their platform and coming from the platform violates the most basic set of rules they talked about, if it comes from donald trump, because they're afraid to pull do

mark zuckerberg took the stance that that should remain untouched. employees,n facebook former facebook employees not happy with it now, the vice president himself. what is your take? david: there is no question that facebook is not done a lot to stop this information from spreading. they have really failed in that department. what is interesting is to see vice president biden, democratic presidential candidate, coming out and basically pointing his guns at facebook, blaming it for, to some degree, what we have seen with the empowerment of donald trump. facebook is really vulnerable to this because even though, as you pointed out earlier -- president trump has been critical of social media. in reality, facebook has done literally nothing he could complain about. they have tended to really favor his messaging over any other messaging and really bent over backwards to enable him to do whatever he wants. the most notable thing about what facebook is doing right now is it has an explicit policy that an advertising, politicians are allowed to live. -- all

>> well, quickly, we also said mark zuckerberg was in a lose-lose situation in terms of how he set up and that the president and it is not political, but, you any, there was a genius to this, because if somehow he gets -- if the president gets flagged by facebook, he's going to use that as a battle cry and if he doesn't, he has the platform at his disposal win-win for the president, lose-lose for mark zuckerberg. in terms of the stock, though, until advertisers start to flee, which you have not seen, you have to stay with this name, and i think we have been pretty -- somewhat steadfast in that belief i am not a huge fan of facebook. and at a certain point, it probably is getting expensive. but in terms of the advertisers and the users, nobody seems to be going anyplace anytime soon >> i'm not a huge fan either i will say that this is pretty extraordinary because mark zuckerberg and facebook look like they're digging in during a difficult time of pressure after basically saying last year that they were not going to be political hasher eharbors. there are a lot of people that just belie

what does it mean for facebook itself for example, mark zuckerberg has said the company will now put warning labels on posts that break its rules even when news worthy, which would open the door to labeling posts from president trump for one key example. >> one initial argument from mark zuckerberg is that if you start to monitor, it brings more censorship and marks the end of free speech. what do you think you'll see here a tightening of the noose around free speech or the opposite? >> i think if you label people's contributions and tighten your rules on what can appear on your site, you are limiting free expression in a sense. zuckerberg has not backed off his general position of the platform or voice as he puts it. there is attention here and something has to give in concern to the platform. >> how far does this go against facebook and other platforms we've seen in the past where many people were horrified around privacy breeches but they didn't switch off their facebook accounts because it was controversial to do so is this time any different for advertisers lining up for changes

mark zuckerberg has often argued that the platform should take a hands off approach but now that's changing and it will tag posts that break its rules if we determine the content maybe we need to violence or deprive people of their right to vote to take their content out no matter who says. social media platforms have been under the spotlight as global outrage grows against racism and discrimination sparked by the police killing of george floyd and may but why they're not focusing on the importance of truth and evidence and verifiability the sort of contributing to a whole lot of these sorts of very underhanded a very dangerous information came. on friday 2 of the world's biggest advertisers coca-cola and unilever pulled their promotions from the platform. unilever's also removing content from twitter and instagram until the end of the year more than $100.00 companies have joined a campaign called stop hate for profit which accuses facebook of not doing enough to combat hate speech the campaign said in a statement faced with this tidal wave mark zuckerberg responded today with a small numbe

mark zuckerberg has sort of doubled down on his decision. he has come out and explained why he came to this decision. we've also heard reportedly that he had a call with president trump the end of last week. what do we know about that and how does it compare to the way the decisions are being made at twitter? because there are recordings, because jack dorsey of twitter made it more of a collaborative conclusion and ultimately deciding to put that warning label on president trump's tweet. it was not just jack dorsey making that decision in a vacuum, but it decision effectively made by a team. sarah: so, zuckerberg did have a call with trump on friday. according to our sources, trump called him, which is pretty rare. they have not talked very often. the last time i remember them doing so is when they have dinner organized by board member peter thiel. trump called zuckerberg and zuckerberg tells him he is disappointed in the tone, rhetoric of the post. and he is putting facebook in a difficult position. there was no sort of transparency into wh

i think the fine line mark zuckerberg is trying to walk here is not really about free speech. he has thought it through. he said he believes all speech should have a place on the platform. that is a classic free speech dissent. as the supreme court has said, you cannot go into a movie theater and falsely scream there is a fire. we limit some forms of speech. identifying this as a free speech movement when dangerousally about and violent this information death respire onto a moment of great social unrest. in the hands of the president at this moment but in the future, it could be in the hands of someone else. i think zuckerberg wants to keep the debate about speech because he does not want to get regulated as a news provider. he would prefer that regulators see facebook as a technology platform and not a news provider. then he would have to engage with all the responsibility through regulatory regimes that come with being a responsible news provider. havecebook does regulations worry about with the antitrust. twitter is a much smaller company but now that twitter has taken a st

of internet experts network and a warm welcome to all 3 of you whether you like mark zuckerberg or not whether you agree with facebook and what he does back in 2013 he said that free basic internet access was actually a human right. in johannesburg let me start with you do you agree with that and do believe. absolutely proves it can be. going to need. to be able to exit well the initial. no i'm not doing the critical conditions. he he simply must. know how. somebody might be muted. today larry maggette an early thought from you as well about that i mean. so many people over the world can't do their job without the internet i can't live day to day without the internet do we now consider if i buy a human rights i think it is a very human right is certainly should be human right an issue of course it should be global to that extent mark zuckerberg is absolutely right but it also and i don't mean this necessarily just respectful but it is reminiscent of u.s. and european imperialism in the sense that it is a western country a very wealthy or a western company very wealthy american company

can deadene company mark zuckerberg responded to the growing criticism friday. he was out with several key points that he says he has been working on for the past few weeks to better inform and create authoritative posts on voting during the pandemic, to take additional steps to fight voter suppression and misinformation. he also said he would create higher standards for the hateful content everyone is really opposed to. and also enabling newsworthy content, providing links to factual content along with that. aile he said this is continuation of a prior effort, he also wanted to emphasize that facebook is a "force for good." many analysts say that price could ratchet higher from here. many believe that facebook can b do better. haidi: on one hand, there are concerns about future revenue growth. but for mark zuckerberg, where does this leave him? definitely could put him in a difficult spot. revenue-wise,ed, facebook was already bracing for a weaker second quarter, even though the stock hit a record last tuesday. friday, losingon $56 million in market cap off the

markert -- mark zuckerberg was part of the small number changes. to say the are going to apply their hate policy to the ads while not address hate more broadly. i just don't get it. i think mark doesn't really understand the problem. the problem is not verizon and salesforce are pushing hateful ads. the problem is that there ads are subsidizing hateful content. be harder to spread that on the day of the election, that is good, but does any voter misinformation will run rampant the rest of the time? the idea that posts the call for violence will still be allowed if it is "newsworthy,", but none of it will be verified? i don't think it makes a dent in the problem. it tells me we still have a long way to go, but make no mistake, what you heard from mark prichard yesterday and what you have heard from eileen fisher, many -- honda, unilever, so many companies are saying, we don't want to advertise on a platform that undermines our values, and that is the real story here, until facebook will take meaningful steps and make real changes that reflect the sh

jack dorsey and mark zuckerberg have been pressured to block trump's output over in accuracies and works on may 29th one trump tweeted about thugs on the streets saying that when the looting starts the shooting starts twitter intervened in a way it never has before slapping a warning label on the tweet saying that the president of the united states was glorifying violence in this case it wasn't that sweater thought well this is going too far it was the outrage from other twitter users saying look you have the leader of the united states inciting violence here some people get blocked or banned from twitter for much less than that and really what twitter did they still felt a little sore because quite honestly that's what this is that got him banned facebook on the other hand is simply chosen to ignore its own rules and pander to the president mark zuckerberg was quoted in the new york times saying that he distinguishes what trump did from a call for violence because trump was calling for state violence which zuckerberg now says is allowed well this is going to be a shock to the. head of t

maybe that's what finally needed to happen. >> mike, is this the humbling of mark zuckerberg? >> i don't think so. i think mark will continue to be mark it may be the start of the humbling of facebook though. they've got employees all over the world. they've got employees that are very supportive of what's happening across america those employees have raised their concerns internally. often times they are bound by ndas from speaking publicly. it may be the humbling of facebook internally. >> is this likely to play, if facebook responds and is perceived to be censoring content, does this pull them into a political debate, which is the last place they want to be >> they're already in that political debate based on their behavior and or lack of enforcement of some of the policies that they talk about all the time i think that debate will be there. i do think, and begun, i don't have the actual solution for mark but i do think there's ways for them to gain the confidence of the advertisers, gain the confidence of people that love the platform and do a much better job enforcing the
