you have been speaking to mark zuckerberg. is he stopping being a businessman, becoming a politician? he insists he's not. we had rumours, would he run in 2020, he said no. he told me in the bbc interview that he did not want to be a politician. not now, he said. he did not say not ever. he is the leader of the biggest businesses in the world. frankly, he is as influential as he's going to be as a politician, leaving facebook. what is interesting about what he told me, what he put out in this 5500 word post on facebook tonight for me talks about globalisation, fake news, he talks about people not getting upset, but fighting back. a call to action. he said the way to fight back is built connectedness across borders, bring down barriers. what an opposite tone to the tone of president trump. very careful with me not to bite, on any of my questions about donald trump. he does not agree with you, are you going to meet him? he did not go to the round table that other tech leaders went to. nevertheless, it gives an alternative view,

you were talking to twitter and then mark zuckerberg came in. what happened? kevin: we decided it was the right thing to do and closed over the weekend, i think it was easter weekend. i was at his house and we were like let's do this. we are aligned. lawyers were everywhere, we were signing documents, figuring this out. it was a whirlwind, because we were in a no man's land for 6-9 months figuring out whether the deal would go through. once it did, we were able to partner, and immediately the value became clear. we got together and were able to fix our infrastructure. every day that went by, we were struggling to keep the site up, struggling under our own growth. we were able to figure out spam quickly and were able to start using their tools to fight spam. a lot of those things happened immediately after the acquisition and helped the company grow and skyrocket. emily: why not twitter? kevin: there were a lot of companies -- google, twitter, interested in instagram's growth. facebook was the that took it one seriously, and mark acted quickly and decisively. t

the snapchat guys are doing exactly what mark zuckerberg did. the question is if they can follow the same path but i think a lot of people will be spooked by slowing user growth. in the listings they talk about themselves as a camera company, what is that about, are they trying to monetise through hardware? they released spectacles. yes, they have released these things we re yes, they have released these things were you record instant video. they are trying to stress the difference between them and facebook and twitter. they are not about text, they are about images and they think they are about images and they think they have tapped into something real and powerful amongst that group, the millennial is that love to communicate and have fun. they think it's communicate and have fun. they think its powerful to advertisers. communicate and have fun. they think it's powerful to advertisers. always a pleasure, we have two wrap it up but let's put you on the spot to revisit in five years, will it be twitter or facebook?” revisit in five years, will

of course, no one voted for mark zuckerberg. is his voice a legitimate part of this debate? >> it is not come out of the blue and it does not seem motivated by commercial considerations. sometimes we think business leaders are taking a position that benefits their pocketbook, but in this case that does not seem to be the case. he is actually taking a pretty big risk with users taking any political stand. >> this is facebook home. from the moment you turn on your phone, you see what friends are sharing. reporter: mr. zuckerberg knows his audience in the u.s. and around the world is diverse. from the rust belt of pennsylvania to the flip-flop wearers of california. but his message is the same -- coming together is better than division. he said, "if people are asking the question, is the direction for humanity to come together more or not, i think that answer is clearly yes, but we have to build the infrastructure to make sure the global community works for everyone." fake news, that has not worked for everyone. claims that the pop

mark zuckerberg owns facebook. he was turned down for snapchat so he bought out instagram to kill them off. is it a smart move by these chaps now to go public to wall street? there is great urgency to go public quickly. the era of quick money is at an end. we just heard about the interest rate rise in china and we will have it in the us later this year. the availability of cheap money will be harder. it is good to do it now with the ipo before the hype around technology diminishes. while i have you and with your background in technology, i have to ask you about amazon, one of the biggest companies in the world. they came out last night and said they are not making as much money as we all expected to be that is something to do with spending a lot on investment. the a1 is the most innovative company in the world. —— amazon. they have innovated groceries and cloud computing and the echo. lots went right for them but they have disappointed with overall revenues. they are asking shoppers to buy on convenience, notju

sheryl sandberg and mark zuckerberg have been bringing up. there is a wall street journal piece out saying they may be developing a tv app. is video still hot? >> that's where they can compensate for this problem where they have saturated our mobile,ds, particularly so either they charge more per , or grow their user base find other kinds of ads that make more money, and video ads can do that. i thought that journal he's suggesting a set-top box, atv , but my guess is they that like some kind of app allows you to watch tv and still be on facebook on tv. they have tried this in the it has nothet worked. caroline: mark zuckerberg saying he will seek original content deals and is still putting video first. find the silver lining. facebook did lose out in court, oculus intentionally built on stolen technology. $500 million, the damages they will have to pay. is this of particular concern? >> oh, gosh, i don't know. of course it is a concern. that willurt ruling hit the pocket book. that is always a concern. an engine for innovation, anything that

i invite, get with mark zuckerberg. set up a website. sign up and you house these people from these countries that want to kill americans and are screaming death to america. liz: i want to talk about what's going on in chicago and the shootings happening in chicago. president trump signed the executive order about saying wary cities. rahm emanuel is vowing to remain a sanctuary city. should he be vowing to end the violence in chicago first. >> he went to d.c. to see people to get help. chicago needs not only police and federal agents and that kind of help, it needs employment, it need better schooling and investment in community. we all know when people have the economics and are able to take care of their family, the violence will go down. that's fact. that can be proven. sow i believe what rahm emanuel need to do is continue what he did recently, that's going to make sure our president gets on board with the president to help our youth, especially our young black and latino youth who are dying and filling the -- filling up the moargs.
