when they've taken people down, it's been extreme examples like alex jones. and the fact that i keep bringing up the president, the fact that he's continued to use the platform just illustrates how much twitter has erredded on side of allowing -- erred on the side of allowing people to use their platform in spite of what their terms of service strictly say to abuse other users. we're not heading towards a world in which people are regularly taken down. and the examples that were down out this week at the hearings that were held on the hill were frankly misstating what happened. i'll give you one example. republican members of congress again and again and again harped on saying that youtube had taken down marsha blackburn's account, that they had banned her from the platform or they had banned a video. that's not what happened. what happened is when she announced her senate bid, she ran a video in which she said she had stopped planned parenthood from selling body parts. that's pure fabrication. anyone who knows anything knows that never happened. the senate o

that kicking off alex jones is supportable. but at the same time, i do think a lot ofught to raise you have that -- where something that is increasingly our public square, what are the ground rules? how do people know how to behave? of what are their rights appeal if it turns out that they feel they've been banned by that they have a particularly important, even if controversial, point of view be heard? to , of tech freedom, same question. >> it's not a political question, first of all. i have my opinions. harold has his opinions. we don't run twitter, so it's make. not our decision to as a political matter, the government has nothing to say about this. and no one does. a decision solely to be made by twitter, facebook or any other service. were running twitter, would i have banned him? absolutely. spewing propaganda, he inarly incited people to go and take a gun to the cosmic pizzagate, so-called incident. any one of those things, in my private citizen, if i were operating twitter, i would have considered grounds to ban him. i

. >> harold feld of public knowledge should alex jones began from social media? >> guest: is an excellent question with a couple different ways we can look at it. one of the very clear issues is okay, there's a user policy. it's very clear and upfront. your inner room having a a conversation, you break the rules, you start shouting things and interrupting, then whoever is running the conversations that okay, you're making it impossible for us to have a conversation, we are kicking you out. the other way to look at it is equally important is increasingly we have everybody getting more and more news from some form of social media, and twitter is a particularly important platform in a number of ways the middle it's not as big as facebook but it has a lot of reporters, people followed with a lot who are political junkies trying to follow the elected representatives and others who participate in the conversation on twitter, and so there is an idea that we should tread very lightly when we are banning someone, particularly if it is a permanent ban. there's been a lot o

when they have, it has been extreme examples like alex jones . and i keep bringing up the president but the fact that he is still allowed to use the platform illustrates how much erred onas aired -- the side of allowing people to use their platform. toward at heading world where people are regularly taken down. the examples thrown out this week during the hearings on the hill were mistaking -- were misstating what happened. an example -- republican members of congress heart that youtube -- harped that youtube had taken down marsha blackburn's account. that is not what happened. what happened is when she announced her senate bid, she ran a video in which she said that she had stopped planned from selling body parts. that is pure fabrication. it never happened. holdenate or the house did an investigation into this conspiracy theory but they did nothing to stop this thing that never happened. when she put this up users complained and youtube did not take down their account or their video but they said she could not spend ad dollars to promote the vi

also later tonight i have a special report we've been working on on how to hold alex jones accountable in the age of trump. we think it's important we have that later tonight. >>> we begin with breaking news on paul manafort and the russia probe. plea deal negotiations with bob mueller for paul manafort have stalled and that is because we are told paul manafort won't agree to a deal that would include cooperation. this is breaking tonight and days ahead of when manafort's next trial is supposed to begin. a key part of this reporting, you may remember bloomberg had pieces of this but the new parts come tonight from abc news which is reporting mueller wants to lock manafort into cooperation for information pertaining to yrks e, donald trump and the 2016 election but manafort is resisting. this is key when you think about the logic because bob mueller probably isn't just guessing there's some information that he wants from this high profile and now convicted defendant. there is a signal that the mueller team has some evidence, foundational or reason to believe, that manafort does possess

and twitter says enough is enough for alex jones. booted from the social platform. >>> also the nfl season got under way late last night. super bowl champs opening defense. welcome to "early start." i'm dave briggs. >> i'm christine romans. it is friday, september 7th. 4:00 a.m. in the east. it is friday. it wasn't me. repeated denials after the scathing anonymous senior official op-ed. calling the op-ed sophomore and they were printed out and rolling in to the president. the white house closer to finding out who the author is. the administration has a dozen names on its list. >> melania trump weighing in and calling it cowardly saying he or she is sabotaging the country. she cites the response of the free press. senator rand paul offered this stunning idea. >> i think if you have a security clearance in the white house, i think it would be acceptable to use a lie detector test and ask people if they are talking to the media against the policy of the white house. >> smoke them out. >> lib s -- libertarian rand paul. the president in

even in that space, twitter does have some red line and alex jones crossbows a long time ago. they finally decided to take him down and good for them. >> this is one of these important points in debate of when does a private space become more of a public face, a public forum index so, when does it acquire this sort of semi-public character? additionally, we have concerns of alex was out there as a political speaker, a very clear-cut case of just recklessly putting out games that were provably untrue and repeating them when corrected, and dating violence in a very obvious way. even in a state run public forum under what we would call reasonable time and place management, with a this is a president making conversation impossible and even if the first amendment did apply directly with the government form, we would say you're justified in kicking somebody out who's making it impossible to use the forum for its appropriate purpose. but where berin and i would disagree is on this public private. there is a tradition that certain private businesses or private spaces become quasipubli

it was a very -- high level hearing and except for the alex jones goblin appearance it was trying to troll the hearings, it was a very high minded, good questions from the senators. i don't think they were particularly tough on the companies. i think it was more talking about the things they're trying to do and some of their theories and it was good in that fashion. i don't think they were there to strafe facebook or google. there's good discussion going on especially about when dorsey called twitter a public square i thought that was interesting because that means public squares are regulated. and the second part when they were talking about the 230 communications decency act, whether they remove immunity i thought that was very interesting, the senator from west virginia was talking about that he was talking about opiates an that's chipped that's a problem >> pharmaceutical in question -- >> for anything. >> purchased, ownershpioids in terms of early practical steps -- >> i had an amazing interview yesterday with nicole wong they used to have time to deal with this and they need to
