google is massive. almost everybody uses google. how are they able to manipulate vote. what are they doing. >> if google search results, for any reason are biased to favor one candidate or one party for any reason, that will shift a lot of opinions about that candidate and a lot about sin in fact it can shift millions of votes. it doesn't matter whether an employee or an executive at google did this deliberately. the algorithm alone, a computer program could be doing this and it will fil still affect the outcome of elections. >> are they trying to affect the outcome of election. >> i don't know for sure. there have been a number of leaks recently from google, there's even been some whistleblowers who are saying google has a very strong political bias internally that they lean left which i tend to do as well that they are deliberate in wanting to affect. >> i'm interested in what you found. are they biased or not. be very specific. what happened in 2016 in the presidential election. >> in 2015 i set up the first ever monitoring system that allowed me to it look over the

map and google a choice the top 3 choices that google has decided for us now i have no idea and it's very difficult to find as you can google it how they chick choosing options for dinner. is it objective i don't know who we're going to try to find out is a good result for the restaurants have they had to advertise in google to get on to that selection they might scroll down to find it let's click on one of these restaurant sets aside to go click i think we have the clip there where we click onto and i we have it right yet they go we kick on to the. tim holler restaurant that's where i'd like you to take me for dinner again we're still in the world of google this is google map this is google reviews even we haven't got anywhere close to the actual restaurant yet so it's very difficult to get out of the world of google and while we're in that world they're controlling everything that we see and that the question is how fair is that what of google said nearly nothing we contacted them for a statement today they pointed to us to a blog from the company's senior vice president to local a

, just google. favoring hillary clinton, whom i supported strongly but the point is, i reported what i found. that level of bias shifted over time somewhere between 2.6 and 10.4 million votes to hillary without anyone knowing it occurred. >> so how does that get accomplished? the algorithms that are changed and adjusted and so forth? to have that significant of an impact, obviously someone or something want someone to win and someone to lose. to the person who goes on google, how is that manifested? >> if you go to google and type in anything election related, immigration or a law, think about the things related to election, you end up with search suggestions that passed you as your typing, we know those suggestions are very powerful effect on people. they alone can shift opinions and vote dramatically. search results appear below and if there's a bias in them,t if a search result is highest on the list, if that takes you to a webpage that makes one candidate look better than another, if you're unde

google and google controls a lot of that information. of course, 90% of the revenue they google derives is from advertising. the advertising ecosystem is complex but fair to say google controls or is a major player in every aspect of that apply chain. and so, to put that into context if you are trying to buy house google owned the house and google owned not just that house but lots of houses on the block and in your neighborhood and city and state and in the country quite frankly. they also were the seller's agent and the buyers agent helping you negotiate a fair price. certainly there are questions that would need to be race. i support innovation and i support free market which is why this investigation is so important. we need to ensure that we absolutely ensure that even the biggest of big tech companies are accountable and even the biggest of the tech companies are subject to the rule of law. thank you. >> good afternoon i'm herbert, attorney general for the state of tennessee. thank you for coming. one of the things we are each did

that's really going to go somewhere fancy i'll do a google search i did a google search for the best restaurant in berlin and i'm feeling flush so i guess so when i fancy what would you expect i would hope to see a list of articles and reviews of people saying what the best places for us to go for dinner tonight and all websites linking me to the best restaurants in the city let's take a look at what we actually found when we did this for when we define search we've got there a google map with 3 restaurants supposedly the best ones in berlin chosen by google right that they sending out restaurant review as i think they are is this injective selection of all dining options for the seafaring it's very difficult to tell where are they getting that information we don't know now you might scroll down and find what you what you might be looking for these kind of links to the restaurants but in very seductive map you can zoom in you can find different things if we click on we clicked on this. restaurant again we've not got a link to the restaurant itself you've got the map from google you'v

a represent asked google -- a representative asked google, it is true that 50% of searches go to google websites, and google was not able to give "no" as an answer to that question, so what we have is google taking over the internet because it has such a huge monopoly share. it is able to prioritize its own websites at the expense of every other business in our economy, so i am really not worried about china. rrit, one of the legal barriers here is talking about how the consumer is harmed. as said, google is a free service for consumers. what about the consumer being harmed? said, with, as sally consumers giving up their data without being paid for it in a fair way, that is something that google and other large tech companies have done for a long time, and in the united states at least, they have been able to push off some of these investigations, because they were services that were free to the end consumer, but there is the consumer who buys the advertising. they need to bid on advertisement so people can find them online. that is a consumer of the google product, and that is kind of

but for google and other companies like google, it's all about what they are doing with our data, isn't it? yes, this is a really key moment for privacy campaigners who say absolutely, if google decide you have the right to be forgotten then why does that not apply around the world ? why does that not apply around the world? it's why does that not apply around the world ? it's odd why does that not apply around the world? it's odd that you will be able to find information in the united states that you cannot find within europe but of course the google argument is it's a very different internet to the internet we've had so far which is absolutely based around freedom of speech and the right to information. so it's a real clash of ideologies, if you like, as much as it is a legal clash. but in some ways, you wonder to what extent any of this could be enforced, for the man in the street, he or she, they are never going to chase google if they don't do what they are supposed to do? the question is, how would you know, all we have is that we have a right to ask companies to remove informatio

here with google, remember what's happening, companies out there are buying ads, only on google and they're steering the algorithms so the consumer only has one choice. they have to dial into google to find what they're looking for. lauren: possible outcomes here? >> i think they've got a really good chance, lauren. i actually do. finally after 25, 30 years of the internet, i think we're going to see some type of relief to try to rein in and let others come into the field. lauren: we can debate whether that's good or bad for the industry but i want to talk about the college admissions scandal. felicity huffman will be sentenced on friday. she wants probation. is she going to prison instead? >> i think she's going to prison for one month. and very quickly, what she did is she's trying to minimize -- these pleaded guilty. she's trying to minimize her sentence. i've got to tell you, for a former desperate housewife star, she looks desperate by saying, gosh, minimize my sentence because i can't h get work. lauren: where's the violent crime? who lost money? >> it's the kid who didn't get that se

we asked can you can you live without google. i must confess imight get live without google. i must confess i might get a bit lost. absolutely, and the fact they all link up. you can search for something and then get directions to it, it is seamless. that's the type of thing the authorities in the usa are looking into. so a few of you have beenin looking into. so a few of you have been in touch. liz lindsay said it would be very beneficial to have equally good search engines, more up—to—date, google still works as it does ten years ago. it takes ages to find what you are really looking for. that's very interesting. cathy does not like monopoly. research is going to close her google accounts because can't support monopolies like google, amazon and walmart. i'm sure there are other places available. thank you for your comments. joining us is maike currie from investment director, fidelity international. so nice to see you back. back from maternity leave, baby number two delivered successfully. well done. how would you cope without google?” would struggle. if you think abo

that one is likely to be theping without android, official google android and google apps. taylor: that was one of my key questions, is you have customers that might be ok for now with an updated software. how long until they become frustrated enough that they don't have the new software, that they start to switch away from huawei? alistair: i think that is a big risk for sure. we were looking at one note today from gene munster, who is a veteran apple watcher, and he was saying this actually might be good news for apple in europe. really, it will probably lead premium providers because huawei will struggle if they don't come with the official google android system when they ship. taylor: alistair, what is huawei 's long-term game plan? you think when android comes out and apple comes out with the new phone, what does huawei do? what is there long-term solution? alistair: the long-term solution is to build an operating system of their own, which they are working on, so they don't need android. the problem comes when you are outside of china. people expect an android phone t

taylor: how does google respond to this? people we have spoken to in recent weeks, what they would really love -- the phrase is let's get back to work. they would love for employees to keep talking to each other, but to talk about the news and new google maps thing we are building or something like that rather than saying they don't want google cloud to work with customs and border patrol and things like that. what they want them to do is talk more about product stuff. taylor: thanks for joining me. sticking with government and big tech employment, presidential candidate and senator elizabeth warren is going after amazon. she and two other democratic senators called out the e-commerce giant for "ignoring labor laws and fostering work conditions that are detrimental to the safety and basic humanity of its workers." spencer joins me from seattle where he covers amazon. elizabeth warren really coming after big tech here. what is her argument? spencer: this comes after a couple of hard-hitting investigations from buzzfeed and pr

the argument for the time being is google but it might not end with google. there, you have this juggernaut that controls most of the searching going on online around the world, owns the android operating system, it's ripe for picking, isn't it? >> it really is. for a time, the argument was the consumers are getting all these services for free so how could they possibly be hurting the consumer? but as you just heard charles gasparino mention, now that the data is considered a commodity, we now have to estimate what's the value of that data because that is an important consideration in determining what the real price to the consumer is. if that price is not the right price, consumers are, in fact, being negatively impacted. neil: but it's a changing landscape, isn't it? i can remember when prodigy was deemed a threat, when aol was deemed a threat, when net scape was deemed a threat. lot of people hearing these names saying what, what, what, but at the time they drew regulators' attention. >> they did. i think the biggest challenge for google here is that this

and another fine for google. this time youtube has agreed to pay a record $170 million to settle claims that it violated children's privacy laws. most of the money will go to the federal trade commission. $34 million will go to new york state. youtube has been accused of failing to obtain parental consent in collecting data on kids under 13. we spoke with the vice president of net choice and bloomberg technology's ben on wednesday to discuss. net choice is a tech lobbying group that counts google as a member. >> it's certainly easy for google to pay it. it's a drop in the bucket compared to their annual revenue. it is, however, a very large fine by the standards of children's privacy. 30 times larger than the previous record which came in february with tictoc, similar issues, collecting email addresses and names without proper consent. you have a lot of people saying this isn't going to make a dent in google's business practices but it's certainly setting a record for this particular space. >> so, carl, taking fl

and they believe that google owed 1.6 billion euros. the settlement was for i billion which is significantly less and this comes at a time when google have had other fines as well for their behaviour from the eu. have had other fines as well for their behaviourfrom the eu. 150 billion fine for blocking rival on line search advertising. the european commission find them 43 billion for the android operating system... it is adding up. they earn a lot through revenue as well. let's see if it does affect them. the guardian, a stark and depressing headline. this article, the facts and figures that came from this article really are quite eye—opening. there was the new york declaration to halve deforestation by2020 declaration to halve deforestation by 2020 and with 150 million hectares... that was five years ago. but the rate of tree loss has gone up but the rate of tree loss has gone up by but the rate of tree loss has gone up by 43%. the otherfigures but the rate of tree loss has gone up by 43%. the other figures coming out, for example, t

the european union has been investigating google for some time brussels is saddled google with nearly $10000000000.00 an antitrust fines over the past 2 years the commission has decided to find google $4340000000.00 euros for breaching e.u. anti trust rules. who has engaged in illegal practices just immense that market position in its search. in the u.s. google and the other tech giants have been able to operate relatively undisturbed but things now look as if they're about to get a lot tougher. let's bring in the quarter on wall street for this what has u.s. prosecutors finally convinced to come around and now take a closer look at the pressure overall clearly is mounting and not at least was the last presidential election was the cambridge analytical scandal surrounding facebook we've seen that they are real consequences from the business practices of some of the big tech giants was in google we all saw a couple of months ago i had protests from the employees because of google thinking about. a search engine for the chinese market so wherever you look there is more pressure coming u

that one is likely to be shipping without android, the official google android and google apps. taylor: that was one of my key questions, is you have customers that might be ok for now with an updated software. how long until they become frustrated enough that they don't have the new software, that they start to switch away from huawei? alistair: i think that is a big risk for sure. we were looking at one note today from gene munster, who is a veteran apple watcher, and he was saying this actually might be good news for apple in europe. really, it will probably lead premium providers because huawei will struggle if they don't come with the official google android system when they ship. taylor: alistair, what is huawei's long-term game plan? you think when android comes out and apple comes out with the new phone, what does huawei do? what is there long-term solution? alistair: the long-term solution is to build an operating system of their own, which they are working on, so they don't need android. the problem comes when you are outside of china. people expect an android phone to

states launch an anti-trust probe against google accusing it of unfair practices. and it's very bad operator apologizes after bahamian evacuees headed to florida are told to get off. britain's practice of crisis remains deadlock with parliament again throwing out the prime minister's call for an early election that's boris johnson 6 parliamentary loss and 6 days and means he'll have to go to brussels in october to strike a new brick city or be compelled by law to ask for an extension and that's something he says he won't do but the clock ticking parliament's now been suspended until october 14th and for some reports on the day's events. you see the right 293 knows the man 46 the majority does not satisfy the requirements of the parliament for the purpose of generating. some see it has been expected but that doesn't lessen the damage this vote is doing to boris johnson's government. our yard still hides to trust the people but once again the opposition think they know fact they want the british prime minister to go very high to negotiation without the power to walk

google is being investigated in the u.s. forces compared to. $48.00 states and 2 territories have launched a probe into the tech giant they're looking into whether it violated the trust of. its inside story now. al-jazeera is there when a story breaks. to see what happens. in the model. that we believe here in the middle east now is. people have gone. missing. and not just your stories about people's perspective what they think is happening in their country. it's a local election but a test for vladimir putin the russian president's party takes a hit in moscow's poll that's come after weeks of protests against the government so how will you deal with this setback and is he losing influence this is inside story.

kurt: google obviously owns youtube. that is a main way that a lot of people spread entertainment videos, but also news and information and we have seen a and thingsl hoaxes go on to youtube and get spread far and wide. when you look at that, when you look at microsoft with skype and other communication services, i think you bring these companies large userat have a base and a large technology base of services people use to communicate and spread information. that is the biggest concern that i can see, they are worried stuff is going to get onto these services and spread like wildfire without being able to be contained. taylor: would you expect any real piece of information to come out of this, or did it feel more like a planning meeting? kurt: the way it has been described to us by multiple people is really just a planning meeting at this point. of whatll pretty aware facebook has done in terms of taking down coordinated campaigns that originated in countries like russia and iran and even china just a few weeks ago. i t

cloud, google youtube, google search it really depends. the power of google is that it uses data from all of these sources and then sells advertising revenue. and from the u.s. perspective, the u.s. is engaged in a geopolitical trade war with china, it needs u.s. big tech to remain big because otherwise it's going to fail in next generation technologies like artificial intelligence or autonomous vehicles and so on. so it doesn't really -- the u.s. government doesn't in my view doesn't really want to break up big tech, but the eu may >> cyrus mawawalla we appreciate your news. it's a big story thank you very much, cyrus >>> well, the energy markets are chalk full of news this monday morning, including a major power shift in saudi arabia. first, though, opec's biggest problem says it will finally cut production iraq will slice output beginning next month iraq's opec's second largest producer pumping more than 4 million barrels a day on average last month, some people think it could be closer to 5 million many in opec is frustrated by what th

taylor: how does google respond to this? alastair: people we have spoken to in recent weeks, what they would really love -- the phrase is let's get back to work. they would love for employees to keep talking to each other, but to talk about the news and new goaps thg we are building or something like that rather than saying they don't want google cloud to work with customs and border patrol and things like that. what they want them to do is talk more about product stuff. taylor: thanks for joining me. sticking with government and big tech employment, presidential candidate and senator elizabeth warren is going after amazon. she and two other democratic senators called out the e-commerce giant for "ignoring labor laws and fostering work conditions that are detrimental to the safety and basic humanity of its workers." spencer joins me from seattle where he covers amazon. elizabeth warren really coming after big tech here. what is her argument? spencer: this comes after a couple of hard-hitting investigations from buzzfeed and

but the mate 30 won't be licensed for key google apps including gmail, google maps, and youtube. huawei is offering to sell its 56 technology to a non—chinese firm as a way to address security fears. an idea its deputy chairman was pushing at a press conference in shanghai on wednesday. translation: there are some suspicions over the security of huawei's feijoo technology in the world, which i think are baseless. "sg. world, which i think are baseless. ——sg. you will always have suspicions about security when you can't get hold of that technology. but if you can have it by some commercial means and you can control it and make your own developments with it, think that will help ease people's concerns about security. dominic sunnebo is global consumer insight director at the research company kantar. welcome to the programme. this phone is being launched today in munich. and yet we make not be able to bite in europe. that is exactly the case. lodging without google apps is a challenge for acro, a huge challenge for consumers. this is what people use on their phones day in and

taylor: how much of a win is this for google? >> despite the issues that they ofe had, they have a lot political muscle and they can pick up these big wins. they talked about the issue and thethey can basically scrub internet. they had been working at these. this is a big win for them. taylor: you also do not talk about google winning privacy laws and the eu because they have been much stricter than the u.s. when it comes some of these laws. what does this mean for the eu and google's expansion there? passed lastcy law year, there are people on both sides of the issue. at the same time, companies like google and facebook have enough legal resources to deal with privacy in a way that a lot of startups have not been able to do. people have made the argument that it solidifies their position in the primary market. taylor: by not scrubbing some of big data, advertising is for the bottom line. any sense of what this means for google? -- it has been an issue. if you have this balance between privacy and freedom of expression, google is

with google has done rise to that level and if not, what makes that analogy useful? >> yeah, of course tobacco companies aren't doing anything to help us. it's about minimizing the harm to our society where google, facebook, many of us consume products and services because we like this and most consumers don't necessarily want a big change here. it's not necessarily the amount of harm or egregiousness relative to the template and how fast you move. sometimes these attorneys general can move more quickly. >> why would you want to invest in google now or alphabet? when they posted their most recent quarter, it was powerful and some thought maybe the stock needs to be re-rated we haven't done too much by stock price since then what will get alphabet out of this funk and beyond the regulatory concerns. >> two reasons why tyler should invest look at microsoft. there was a ten-year overhang. the government was going to break the company up office was done. microsoft is one of the largest market caps on the planet. they are crushing it they're doing phenomenal google trains

we all saw a couple of months ago had protests from the employees because of google thinking about. a search engine for the chinese market so wherever you look there is more pressure coming up from the european union from australia from the u.k. from france and now all still from the united states by the way basically all of the attorney general of almost all of the u.s. states are participating in this the only example being alabama and california that's the state where google has its headquarters and the e.u. commission has hit tech giants with hefty fines also to prove a point who's boss here one of the companies expect what are they to expect from the u.s. . it's really hard too early to tell at this point to go on for quite some time then the companies could appeal and then what is a hefty fine if you look at google for example in the past business year they had a revenue of more than $136.00 a $1000000000.00 facebook having a revenue of $55000000000.00 so one is the financial aspect and the other is if the prosecutors might actually push those companies to get rid of some of t
