the choices that twitter makes one chooses to suppress blacklists shadow. or editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter seems to be a neutral public platform and they become and they're there with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about others also this week twitter put fact check labels on 2 of the president's tweets that had unsubstantiated claims about voting by mail in the u.s. twitter said it decided to do so because the content broke its rules on the key issue of voting trompette back and accuse twitter of trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and stuff for free speach. the business and technology sector is the order could could freedom of speech across the internet while legal experts are warning that it conflicts with the existing law which owing the congress not the president can change it really is a complete misreading of section $230.00 it takes. a law that has been interpreted time and time again very very broadly by multiple federal circuit courts and just says i'm replacing all

how much is twitter and his use of twitter a part of that? >> donald trump reminds everyone on a daily, hourly basis of his cruelty with his twitter use. it is not a positive. i have been in so many focus groups with strong trump supporters who will not have anything to say remotely bad about the president, they can be 100% happy with him. what they do say, though, if they would change anything about donald trump, it would be his tweeting habits. no one likes the tweeting. yet donald trump can't control it. it's a habit that he isn't going to break. and you look at how throughout the course of his candidacy and his presidency, he has continued down the same no-holds-barred disinformation, mean-spirited twitter use, and that's just not going to change even if his own supporters don't like it. >> so noah, in terms of the role of twitter in trump's political brand, i hear two very different theories out there. one goes along the lines of what elise was just saying, look at the polls, people say they don't like it. if trump didn't tweet, if there

is going to do that twitter needs twitter needs trump and trump needs twitter but problem for jack dorsey for going out there and putting out you know a line in the sand and say we've got to stop this is especially as we get heightened into closer to the elections don't forget what else has gone on 100000 americans are now dead of coke just like reagan was a master of seizing the agenda of that every day media diet through visuals trump is doing that through twitter and it's just repeating itself you say are literacy needs to be improved so does anyone really care about this executive order do they care that the president signed it today. some people will it is a chilling effect remember it's got to go through the courts and it well it's not practical they're not going to come and shut down twitter and shut down the internet that's not going to happen we have a 1st amendment of course in this country and on every floor here at the walter cronkite school we have the 1st amendment prominently by the elevator so i think on a personal note for me as a journalist as a journalism educator yes i

the twitter ceo in lead-up to all of this jack dorsey said following on twitter, in part, quote, this does not make us an arbiter of truth. our intention to connect dots of conflicting statements to show truth where people can judge themselves. more transparency from us is critical so folks can clearly see the why behind our actions n a interview with fox's dana perino, mark zuckerberg says the companies should the be the arbiter of truth on the issue but he took issue with the executive brand trying to intervene. >> he is thinking about regulations or perhaps shutting down social media sites. what is your reaction to that? >> well, i mean, look, i would have to understand what actually would intend to do but, in general i think a government choosing to censor a platform because they're worried about censorship doesn't exactly strike me as the right reflex there. reporter: so that's the broad outline there. we'll get the finer details on this shortly, and what the attorney general could potentially do with all of this. then of course there is that second headline from the, a different

having said that, what twitter was doing was clarifying. now, you can check the sources and the fact-checkers because they should be scrutinized but the question, don't pull your tweets down, that is another matter. now the president was called on some outrageous comments he made about msnbc general scarborough who had a young woman die in his congressional florida office 20 years ago. never mind general scarborough was not there at the time 800 or 900 miles away, the president was strongly implying come outright accusing maybe something was fishy that was up and maybe this was a case of murder. that was something also will so that it had to be fact-checked. it wasn't just right/left here. that was incumbent upon anyone to check comments that were outrageous. now, part of this investigation and the crackdown on social media companies that claim legal liability or protection of that is that if people say outrageous things on a site, you know, viewer/reader beware. when it was done to him. so that is really the genesis of all of this. but he

twitter has for the 1st time flagged a tweet from u.s. president donald trump with a fact check warning the social media site recently introduced a warning system that lets users know when a tweet contains misleading or false information and trump had dogs that label until now and what i mean is it has been following the story for us so i mean what trump tweet has caused twitter to take this action trump had been angry with california heavily democratic state that is pushing for mail in ballots for the upcoming election and he tweeted that he believes that it is no way that mail in ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent you can see in the bottom left corner of that tweet there is exclamation mark with a warning says and it's a link that says it's going to give you the facts about mail in ballots and that's because there's no evidence behind this claim that mail in ballots actually lead to fraudulent elections and then takes you to this page on twitter's website that gives you some facts behind the story and then it gi

on twitter and social media? and can you give us an update on his plan for china and hong kong or comment on that as well? kayleigh: first i would note with regard to timing of the e.o., that should be later this afternoon. is what we're hoping for. hopefully before 5:00 p.m. but again, could change. it's still in the works. but we are getting closer. with regard to hong kong, i would just say, reiterate what i said last -- two days ago, i would also say that china's decision to impose a new national security law on hong kong lies in direct conflict with its international obligations under the principles of the legally binding u.n. sino-british declaration and secretary pompeo that hong kong does not warrant different treatment because hong kong no nger remape -- remains autonomous from the p.r.c. reporter: somewhat related, the impact object the minority group in china, the uighurs, i think i said that correctly. does the president plan to sign that? if the white house is going to treat bills -- or does the whit

twitter has flagged 2 tweets by u.s. president all trump about fraudulent mail in ballots as misleading the social media platform has marked the tweet with a link to another page where fact checkers have debunked the claim by kind of has more from washington d.c. now twitter has put up a label on these tweets basically checking it referring viewers or readers to news reports concerning these claims which twitter says here are completely fraudulent so this is the 1st time there has been some kind of response to twitter for what many critics have continually labeled as stream of false swords being done by the president on this particular forum hong kong is bracing for more protests this time over a controversial bill that would make it a criminal offense to insult china's national anthem right police are in place around the legislative council building where the bill will be debated in the next few hours 4 police officers in the u.s. city of minneapolis have been sacked after the death of an unarmed black man a video poste

donald trump has readied an executive order aimed at social media giant following back checks on a twitter feed what consequences will the move have going for plus markets are still on the rise but kind of fell late in the day despite mass unemployment in the united states when a lot of the spike in markets this week and we also dig into the rising tensions between the u.s. and china and later the cold in 1000 outbreak has caused a major disruption in the travel industry particularly airlines we dig into the struggles of the sector with a packed show today so let's dive right in. and there is a big move coming from u.s. president donald trump the president will reportedly target facebook and twitter in an executive order 'd regarding social media according to a draft that appears to have leaked online now the draft version of the order which could still change names facebook google and twitter and targets a section of u.s. law under which tech platforms largely aren't liable for what their users post and are fairly free to police content joining us now to discuss this with a bunch co-host

brian: i can't go twitter. i don't know if twitter can go through all of twitter. if you see something inaccurate or inciting violence help them out. what about this? what about this? what about this. impossible standard they are up to that they started on wednesday. here we are friday and creating a lot more controversy and an obvious imbalance balance. somebody who is in perfect balance jillian mele. jillian, you have the fair and balanced news. jillian: good morning. that's right. we do begin with this fox news alert. gunshots ringing out during a massive protest in louisville. [gunfire] jillian: at least seven people were shot. one of them in critical condition. hundreds gathering near city hall to protest the death of brianna taylor. the 26-year-old emt was inside her apartment when police served a warrant back in march. her boyfriend shot at police. they returned fire, killing her. the fbi is investigating. the college student suspected of double murder now awaiting extradition to connecticut. appearing in court by video from jail. received a tip he was in th

from liberals on twitter and in our elected area once twitter to get the president off twitter, twitter is not going to do that. they know the president has been a faithful customer and so they are caving a little bit but what they are really doing is lowering the opinion conservatives have this site, a site they have thought has been beneficial since we are able to get around the mainstream media which typically isn't favorable to conservatives. jillian: that headline, i am from montgomery county pennsylvania. to see that in one county, that is a large number of ballots to be sent incorrectly. let's look at twitter's statement, quote, these tweets contain potentially misleading information about voting processes and have been labeled to provide additional context around mail in ballots in line with the approach we shared earlier this month. final word before we go on that response. >> i disagree with that. they are being biased in this approach and this is why you saw marco rubio coming out saying we need to treat twitter not as an open forum but as a publisher. this will lead to congr

twitter determined it may be in the public interest for the tweet to remain accessible. learn more. the president tweeted these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i won't let that happen, just spoke to the governance of the military is with him all the way. any difficulty and we will assume control but when the looting starts the shooting starts saying that executive order the president signed curtails protections for social media platforms and accused them of having unchecked power to censor. >> my executive order calls for new regulations under section 230 of the communications decency act to make it that social media companies that engage in censoring or any political contact will not be able to keep their liability shield. >> reporter: section 230, the 1996 communications decency act identifies companies like twitter and facebook for any action -- twitter reacted to the new order tweeting this is a reactionary and politicized approach to a landmark law that protects american innovation and freedom of expression and undermines democratic values, atte

i believe it is time to quote, get the facts about twitter. other social media platforms targeting their bias against president trump and conservatives online. if we were to judge the bias of twitter and its top employees by their own words the case to be an easy one to make. twitter's head of the site integrity that there are quote, actual not seize in the white house and olfactory global whatever applied to this actually outrageous, of sense of false claims made against the white house and its employees. let's judge twitter based on their actions, not based on the words of its top employees. its actions are no better. president trump recently received a so-called fact check label for a treat. it was a false fact check and an accurate fact check but nevertheless tutor move forward with dan deputy chief of staff here was the first user in the history of twitter to receive a so-called, manipulated media label for posting a video that played a verbatim clip. it is no coincidence that these two unbelievable and interventions by twitter were targe

and facebook for any action -- twitter reacted to the new order tweeting this is a

whilst he was in that row on twitter, president trump acknowledged on twitter the death of 100,000 americans for the first time. he called it a very sad milestone and extended his "heartfelt sympathy and love for all those affected." per capita deaths in some european countries are even higher. researchers are now studying might impact of the coronavirus has been so much worse in america and europe compared to other areas of the world. here to discuss it is dr. craig spencer, director of emergency medicine at columbia university medical center. let's look at the american number, 100,000. given that this virus has had such a catastrophic effect in europe, was it inevitablthat we were going to get to 100,000 deaths in the united states, do you think? dr. spencer: absolutely not. none of this was inevitable. a lot of this could've been prevented. we know that from modeling that has been done. had we gone the social distancing necessary and put the right public of interventions in time, which before we did in the u.s., particularly in the places most hard-hit, we could have avoided a lot of thes

inflaming those tensions with a new tweet he threatens from the looting starts the shooting starts twitter labels the tweet as glorifying violence is. also coming off as russia has a lock down hides a shocking surge in domestic abuse cases we need a mosque al gore's hell on earth who is opening her doors to women and the need of shelter. and friends puts its faith that a voluntary track and trace out as if he lacks is current iris restrictions but critics say the app has major shortfalls. i'm sumi so misconducts good to have you with us the national guard has been deployed to the u.s. city of minneapolis during a 3rd straight night of on rest protests have rocked the city after an unarmed black man died in police custody earlier this week and those protests have now spread to other cities including denver l.a. and memphis but the killing of george floyd has left minneapolis in particular reeling with scenes of violence and anger. i riots across minneapolis for the 3rd night protesters stormed a police station forcing the officers inside to flee they want justice for george floyd who died i

they can sue twitter. the president can sue twitter and say that this is libel. what they are doing. and then he'd lose because it's factually correct. you win when it's factually correct. so a lot of things are conflating here in order to make it simplistic, including not understanding what the first amendment says. and the president promised to preser preserve, protect and defend the constitution. he should read it. congress shall make laws. from what i understand from lots of legal, very smart legal people is that you can't do it this way. of course, congress could do this. they could look at section 230. they can do a lot of things but that's the process of this. and that's the difference here is that you can't just say, i don't like it. i'm going to do an executive order. and it's not going to work here. there's so much case law. there's so much -- there's so much that needs to go through it before 230 is challenged. so we'll see what happens. but this is just a game. this is just a ridiculous game. i

twitter is a private company. they can be as dumb as they want to be, and they've proved it to everyone how dumb they can be. this was so incredibly stupid of twitter to do this, whether it was president trump's tweet or anybody else's tweet. you just played a clip where jack dorsey, the president of twitter, says he wants to "connect the dots." good luck, jack. everything out there is a dot. everything is somebody's opinion about something. are you now going to regulate all that? are you going to try and be the arbiter of that? this is the most foolish thing twitter could possibly do. i'm not a fan of government interference in this, because i believe in the private sector having the right to be stupid, but boy did jack dorsey step in it. >> harris: so, how did he step in it, exactly? why was it stupid for them to do? and it sounds like you think there is some sort of retribution coming. >> he has the right to do whatever he wants. my tweets, trumps tweets, or anybody's tweet. they are a private company, they can

president has used twitter to spread dubious rumors so why is twitter you know acting now i mean they've been sleeping at the wheel it seems like well twitter's getting ready for the 2020 presidential elections just around the corner and they have updated their terms of service and specifically they now have said that users cannot mislead others about participation in elections so they're actually applying their own new rules here but you know they're not actually clamping down on all of the president's problematic tweets right now they are refusing to take down a separate tweet in which he has indirectly accused a liberal news host of being involved in a murder so you could say they're actually being quite light on the president all have done is stuck one little link. one of his tweets yeah that's a very good point that you bring up there trump he likes to make threats we know that and he likes to threaten that he's going to shut things down but can he really shut down social media well it's ironic isn't it that he is accused twitter of basically stifling free speech and then he has gon

moments before coming on air, the president tweeting at twitter and raising concerns about how twitter has not been able to police itself regarding information, with china for example. the president yesterday with the executive orders raising concerns about big tech companies, instagram, twitter and the like. the president once again calling on section 230 with regards to the fair decency act, and raising that issue. nightomes as twitter last labeling one of the president's tweets with regard to the protests in minneapolis as "glorifying violence." that is from twitter, a label that they did on that specific tweet. he said once the shooting starts -- once the looting starts, the shooting starts. the president's words. so a very volatile, quickly moving situation involving race and nows in the u.s., this issue of tech companies very much wrapped into that story in minneapolis. isn't this exactly what the president wanted, to shift the conversation away from how the u.s. would respond to china, to the pandemic, to some of the redmeat issues for his supporters such as race relations, such

president donald trump has more than 8 million followers on twitter. in fact, after the company decided to label his tweets as potentially misleading, he went on to twitter to say that it was stifling his free speech. so the company on the one hand really wants to hold onto him as a user and it has said in the past president trump and other world leaders who have made misleading or even aggressive comments in the past, that they can make those comments even though they violate twitter‘s policies, because they're politicians and world leaders and it's valuable for people to see what they're saying and for free speech to go on that way. it's got to find a way to balance some of the things he's making, some of the claims that are potentially false or harmful, while making sure he stays online because they want to keep him and his followers on their platform. so, zoe, is there a reasonable expectation that twitter will be dealing more aggressively with posts that are way over the line with an election coming up, of course, in the states? yes, of course w

twitter policing content and in turn, the president of the united states about to police twitter and other social media sites. what do you make of this and how serious is it for the entire sector? >> by the way, i'm with draper associates now. just so you get it straight. hey, you know, i think the president should resist signing anything like this. i am too much a freedom promoter. i think we need freedom throughout the world and i saw many startups figuring out how we could model truths so that we can -- so the best stories will rise to the top and the fake news will fall to the bottom. a lot of that's already going on. why do we have to regulate and legislate what they perceive to be truth? this is starting to sound a little more, you know, nasty and dictatorship than it is the land of the free and the home of the brave that we are supposed to be living in. i sort of feel like they have taken advantage of this virus and overstepped, and this is getting -- and i don't think this is trump's point of view at all and i don't know why he would be signing something like this. i know he

president donald trump has more than 8 million followers on twitter. after the company decided to label his tweets as potentially misleading, he went on to twitter to say it was stifling his free speech. so on the one hand the company wants to hold onto him as a user and it has said in the past president trump and other world leaders who have made misleading or even aggressive comments in the past, that they can make those comments even though they violate twitter‘s policies because their politicians and world leaders and it's valuable for people to see what they're saying and for free speech to go on that way. it's got to find a way to balance some of the things he's making, some of the things he's making, some of the claims that are potentially false and harmful while making sure he stays online because they want to keep him and his followers on the platform. zoe, is there a reasonable expectation that twitter will be dealing more aggressively with posts that are way over the line with an election coming up, of course, in the states ? coming up, of

sue twitter. it is a threat essentially trying to force twitter and other social media companies to do what the president wants and what the president wants and what the president wants and what the president wants is to back away from attaching these messages 01’ from attaching these messages or warnings to his tweets and more broadly engaging and what he sees as censorship of conservative voices. but the law is a lot and if they want to try to change this it will bea to try to change this it will be a long process with lawsuits and regulations afterwards. he also talked about changing laws to more directly address this and realistically would be more effective way to do this but the chances of that also are relatively remote. with this new executive order make it easierfor the radio host alex jones who was banned a few yea rs jones who was banned a few years ago to return to those sites? well, if it does put pressure on companies like twitter to relax their regulations, their looking at posts

and that's on twitter. and the amaze iing thing is he' wrong and even no matter who it is, they will admit he's wrong because there's tremendous controversy on mail in voting. and i can say this the republican party cannot let it happen. go ahead >> you know gavin newsome has not sent ball loots out to everybody in california. only registered voters so what your tweet said was not wrong. it was not correct it was wrong >> oh, really? so when he sends out 20 million ballots in all the mailboxes and kids go and reaid the mailboxes and hand them to people that are signing the ballots down at the end of the street which is happening, they grab the ballots, you don't think that happens? there's ballot harvesting. we have seven elections for congress and they were like tide. and they lost every one of them because they came and dropped a whole pile of ballots on the table. you don't think they rip them out of mailboxes you can read about it. take a look. they do worse than that. in some cases, they won't sell to

>> the first amendment text twitter from the president, not the president from twitter. twitter owns that platform. nancy pelosi makes a good point. they want to be left alone from the government and they don't want to be taxed and may be something we should be looking to. i don't disagree with a lot of what they said. when they are starting to fact-check, they've got to be very careful to fact-check everybody. but this is not a violation of the presidents free-speech. the president still left those up there. the american people are quite annoyed and the president of the united states is picking a fight with twitter, the very platform that made him president. i don't understand how he gets away with it. i don't understand how people still support him in the face of that. >> dana: i just want to put up one thing. ben shapiro had a tweet this morning that i thought was interesting. the people are saying the deep state is targeting a trump, and the same people are saying let's give more power to the deep state to control social media. is there a little bit of a pandora's bo

twitter said it decided to do so because the content broke its rules on the key issue of voting. trompette back and accuse twitter of trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and stuff for free speech. the business and technology sector is argue the order could curb freedom of speech across the internet while legal experts are warning that it conflicts with the existing law which telling the congress not the president can change it really is a complete misreading of section $230.00 it takes. a law that has been interpreted time and time again very very broadly by multiple federal circuit courts and just says i'm replacing all of this with my own interpretation that i have no right to give about how to interpret this at oral law and so no it's really not going to have any staying power in a court i may really is kind if you have a piece of bread or a ball or that means the order will likely be challenged in court ahead of the november presidential election. let's take a closer look at this mysterious a cattleman from the leave institute for media research in hamburg w

president donald trump the president will reportedly target facebook and twitter in an executive order regarding social media according to a draft that appears to have leaked online now the draft version of the order which could still change names facebook google and twitter and targets a section of u.s. law under which to platforms largely aren't liable for what their users post and are fairly free to police content joining us now to discuss co-host investigative journalist of course ben swan now ben there's a lot to unpack your what exactly is the rule that president trump is attempting to amend and why is he actually doing that and how big of a deal would it be for these social media companies. yes so for started at the very end there it's a very big deal it's actually something i've been calling for for about 2 years the president now talking about whether or not he can or cannot do this the truth is we don't even know if the president can do this let's talk about what he's trying to do so what the president is trying to do is issue an executive order that would essentially clamp d

twitter claiming the president's post is unsubstantiated and misleading saying twitter falsely claimed mail in ballots would lead to a rigged election but fact checkers say there is no evidence of this. these claims are unsubstantiated according to cnn, washington post and others. the president fired back in a tweet saying as twitter is interfering in the 2020 presidential election they are saying my statements on mail in ballots which will lead to massive corruption. and the amazon washington post was the warning label prompting back lash online, twitter, youtube and facebook should not be censoring the user, they can put restrictions on things. twitter announced they would be adding fact checking labels to the coronavirus in the election earlier this month. >> we thought we would hear about the baseball season but that is not the case. the nhl comes out a plan and goes into the playoffs. >> reporter: the nhl made a big announcement, potentially scrapping the rest of the regular season moving on to the playoffs, top 12 teams, all 3 hub cities. the nhl in phase 1. in early june, three

twitter es un negocio privado. luis: twitter estÁ considerando quÉ hacer con otros tweets presidenciales de los que sin evidencias donald trump prefiere que un ex congresista estÁ involucrado en un asesinato. patricia: el primer vuelo tripulado al espacio que destacarÍa de estados unidos en casi 10 aÑos fue cancelado esta tarde debido al mal tiempo en la florida. el presidente donald trump y la primera dama acudieron a presenciar el histÓrico lanzamiento. el sÁbado se hará un nuevo intento que podrÍa convertir en la primera empresa privada que lleva astronautas de la nasa a la estaciÓn espacial internacional. enrique: informaron sobre el decomiso de mÁs de 3000 libras de cocaÍna luego de detener a lo que describe como un velero rÁpido de bajo perfil. la operaciÓn se llevó a cabo en el ocÉano pacÍfico. cuatro personas fueron detenidas por oficiales de la guardia costera. patricia: vamos a nuestra primera pausa. la medida en el aeropuerto de la capital mexicana y tambiÉn de las aerolÍneas para evit

twitter. that is getting deeper and deeper. we'll be right back. charles: folks, breaking news for you former minneapolis police officer derrick sheldon is under arrest right now in the death of george floyd, and he's been charged with third degree murder, also manslaughter after allegedly killing floyd, three other officers are being investigated at this very moment. of course remember, floyd was killed from presumably from the knee to his neck. prosecutors say that he is expected to file charges against the others perhaps when the investigation is over. the death as we all know has sparked several days of outrage, riots and arrest and really the burning of minneapolis. we'll stay on that in the meantime, twitter flattening the trump tweet about minneapolis, in fact this morning, about those protests saying that he was glorifying violence, this coming just a day after president trump signed an executive order to make it easier for social media companies like twitter and facebook to be held liable for the content that's posted on their platform, su

all twitter did, let's not overstate and turn twitter into a good guy. all that guy did was stick a little note about two lies on mail-no voting. >> yeah, it's tiny. i would argue it's insufficient, but again my point is from twitter's standpoint, boy, this is a really big deal. i agree with you, it really isn't, and hopefully it's the start of something but look at how it enrages the president. the president's goal here is talk about something other than this 100,000 k death count, sadly. also, he's going to run his campaign on this platform. he runs everything on this platform so to him even that tiny thing that twitter did is a giant deal. >> jim, you are spot on with that. he's going to run his entire campaign on twitter. oh, what a thought. thank you for spending some time with us. great to see you, my friend. brian, what a thought that is for us. you and i are going to -- listen, i have had this 24-hour fantasy that maybe trump will shut down twitter. he'll show them. i mean, that would really cement his legacy as doing something good for the world

still unclear exactly what it would do trump has been lashing out against twitter on twitter when the company flagged two tweets about mail-in voting being misleading saying it violated policies on the election process. the president wrote, quote, twitter now shows everything we have been saying about them and their come patriots is correct big action to follow this is not the first time the trump administration cracked down last year, he put in an order that would have put the se krerc of regulating they never put that into action. in the last few days, republicans on the capitol hill have been slamming the media giants kevin mccarthy said their own fact checkers are bias and he sent this letter saying twitter's decision to single out the president for disfavor based on political speech is alarming. i did reach out to twitter for comment. they declined. i think everyone is waiting to see what the details of the white house action will be back to you. >> elon, we've heard the president talk about it. is there any chance twitter could be shut down permanently or in the short term becau

appeal today the twitter's ceo. the president continues to tweet about it this morning. let's bring in tony romm. good to have you with us. as we just noted there, this is the first time twitter has taken this action against the president, but it is not the first time he has tweeted something false. in fact, as we noted, even this morning, he tweeted out more that needs to be fact-checked, including that president obama spied on the trump campaign. i guess the question is, why now and what's the threshold from twitter about what gets fact-checked and what doesn't? >> right, i think you get right at the heart of the tension here which is enforcement. let's remember, for a long time now, twitter has had various policies prohibiting a wide array of what it considers to be abuse of content, that the number of the president's critics would like to have twitter take action against. but twitter has often said deserves a greater right to speak, there's a public interest in leaving some of those even controversial tweets up.

frankly, twitter is afraid of the president. they are afraid of the backlash that you'll see tonight when they did fact check one tweet. he said he sort of promised some sort of retribution. twitter is afraid of possible regulation. the cries of anticonservative backlash. and of course also twitter is really bad at handling bullying on its platform. this is obviously a high profile case where there is a widower and his family watching on with this that is bringing up memories that shouldn't have to live again. so this is something that i think is just more reflective of the platform as a whole. there's a lot of people who suffer bullying and cyber harassment as a result of this platform. >> i'm glad you bring that up. i know so many people who have stopped engaging on twitter or do it just as little as possible. they'll do it through another social media platform. or don't even read the comments because it is just so awful. it's such a cesspool. i don't think jack dorsey realizes if he cleaned this up, he would gain more fans an

no twitter's head of integrity your wrath is in charge of developing and enforcing twitter's rules like the one that led twitter to actually slap a new misleading warning label onto a president trump's tweet concerning concerning nationwide mail in balloting on tuesday now is that misleading label what is driving the president's action here well it is it was because 2 of those tweets were labeled as misleading information that's what twitter is using facebook uses a different term they say partly false information is how they're doing it twitter essentially has an internal system but the guy who actually is the head of this people of on earth tweets from him in the recent months in years where he's been extremely critical of president trump and is attacked in a lot of very you know personal ways that don't reflect necessarily journalism and so here's the problem the problem is when you have an internal system inside of twitter that says that we will control essentially you know the information that goes out there is people involved in that and whenever people are involved now you have b
