in other countries, mark zuckerberg says -- some are censoring citizens. then there are fundamentalist groups who are very much using facebook for their illicit purposes. a host of problems for somebody who profess this is all about community and getting people together. really what mark zuckerberg is into is politics. >> yes. i think that's a good way of putting that. further, if we were to give him some benefit of the doubt, he didn't invent social networking, but he practically did. it's the most important social network out there. nobody has a guide book how to put this together. maybe that's why what we're seeing so often is him making tactical moves instead of making strategic moves. seems like he's constantly putting out a different fire every day. there's a different controversy every day. perhaps that's because he has no way of looking back at how somebody else has done this in the past? >> that's right. he is a pioneer in his own way, but the greater problem is that, as you alluded to, he's trying to put out fires all the time, he's throwing mone

say the same about mark zuckerberg. whether he is leveraging unfairly that advantage he has in social media. i just wonder if it will get maybe because of the more virtual nature of it, anything like it got with the attorney general in person yesterday? >> we'll see. and maybe the virtual nature of it does somehow diminish the temperature in the room. multiple rooms. and yesterday, it was heavy into politics. you know barr is at the center of all sorts of conflicts between the congress and the president and has played a not just a role but a strong role, that is highly controversial. lear politics will probably enter -- a lot is about economic restraint and competition. these are economic arguments that can get heated but perhaps not quite as partisan but when it comes to facebook that is a different story. this is a platform that has serviced a number of viewpoints that both sides of the political spectrum find odious. there has been problems with hate speech on the platform. all the things that we know about facebook

steven: marks zuckerberg with thinking for that. rana: exactly. when i first met roger cummings interesting. he was going out into the media. for those of you don't know him a veteran venture capitalist. an investor and loss of important technical monies. in an early mentor to mark. an elevation had a fake, was a through elevation. steven: roger invested personally. and later elevation and put money in it. but roger benefited greatly from its in a way initially that his company did not predict. rana: so is interesting. so he was out really talking and guesses on book to the media against it. at that stage and he said look i became concerned pre- 2016 about what i was saying on facebook. i feel there is something wrong here. he apparently wrote a letter to mark and cheryl. this is sort of like your highly humble. he was coming to you saying hey guys, they may have a problem. and apparently, they went very corporate pr up on him very quickly. shut him down. hard for me to metabolize how someone can get the information from a trusted figure and not t

mark zuckerberg responded when asked about the role is organization could play in stopping the spread of misinformation or we do prohibit content that will lead to imminent risk of harm and stating that there is a proven cure for coverage when there is in fact no one might encourage them to take something that could have some adverse effect so we do take that down. fisher joins us live now from washington d.c. allan what have they said about misinformation. well they should really be talking a great deal of misinformation because this is an antitrust hearing which means that trying to talk about their business practices whether or not these 4 companies are actually strangling innovation whether some of the tams to get on their platforms are so strict that it's stopping smaller companies develop their policies and develop their products as sensually killing competition but they did talk about misinformation because it's something that the republicans have been very keen to hammer on whether or not conservative voices are disadvantaged on social media and also whether or not at that som

facebook has had a lot of criticism over the years i wrote a column recently on why mark zuckerberg has not fact check the president. why it is this relationship between facebook and the white house and free speech? i will throw a big question to launch off. >> thank you for doing this. it's good to connect with you again. like a lot of things you can't just pull out one problem of facebook from its dna and origins and in the case of trum trump, obviously he was not a factor in the early days in the dorm room but by the time the trump campaign got rolling in 2015, this became an issue for facebook with the messy way it dealt with controversial content and the same way in 2015 when trump posted stuff that was anti- muslim and it actually did violate the company's community standards. but facebook decided not to mess with that. even though it may have violated the standard then zuckerberg himself thought it did because it was newsworthy and they would not tamper with it. that's when zuckerberg started made it explicit so now he believes that politicians should be able to say whatever they

how do you think mark zuckerberg is responding to this? ellen: you know, it is more of the same, i feel like, and it is not just mark, it is all of the social-media platforms. they have come and to say that they support black lives matter, but then when you look at what happens on their platforms, it is a mess. once they get called out, they will make a a few changes, but it is often the minimal, and they want to figure out some way of doing it that ends up being very ineffective. this requires a lot of change. it requires a new team of people doing the work, because clearly the people who have been doing it in the past are not doing a good job come and it doesn't include that they want to or can do a good job. let's get better people in there, let's figure out how you put metrics to a to see if you are being effective, is see if the measures you are taking are working, and let's also have more people who are directly impacted by the harassment on your site making decisions. instead of having this team that is very homogenous, let's be sur

move to the questions against mark zuckerberg and for mark zuckerberg. a lot of it is regarding the ftc decision to approve facebook's purchase of instagram. that is back in 2012. and one of the questions directed at zuckerberg this look like a illegal manuever now. seems like zuckerberg in some of his answers seemed to kind of say, well, maybe you could view it that way now. do you think there will be some reopening into facebook's ownership of instagram, whether it is indeed anti-competitive, which we should say the entire reason we're having this hearing today? >> it is anti-competitive. it is good it is being brought up. a article i saw disclosed emails zuckerberg written about it. he bought the company to put out out of market and [inaudible] cheryl: okay. let's move on. again we're having a little bit of trouble with you. we really haven't heard a lot from tim cook. really i would like to hear more from jeff bezos. hopefully these committee members will bring in mr. bezos more, since i don't know, he is the richest man in the world and obviously du

>>> later today the of an ad boycott against facebook will come face-to-face with mark zuckerberg. the social media giant is facing backlash about how it handles hate speech. "today in the bay's" bob redell, what are organizers demanding? >> reporter: marcus, the organizers of th the #stophateforprofit campaign have ten demands they plan to stress during today's meeting with mark zuckerberg including that facebook ad dedicated to civil rights refund advertisers whose ads were shown next to hateful contempt and submit third-party audits of hate speech and misinformation on the site. last month the coalition of civil rights organizations formed the campaign to pressure advertisers to stop spending on facebook's platform over its handling of hate speech. hundreds of businesses have pulled ads, walgreens, best buy, ford and adidas. in response mark zuckerberg announced policy changes in a recent virtual town hall meeting. >> to crack down on voter suppression and to fight hate speech. >> we need concrete measurable change and we need it now.ly ad want it either. >> reporter: the boycot

especially when mark zuckerberg speaks. i could be totally wrong. if i knew him personally, now i see another side. that is my opinion. just from the few times i have watched him on tv. i don't watch tv either so rarely do i get to see these things. usually someone sends me an old school email with a youtube post. emily: the argument has been made that these u.s. tech companies should not be broken up because of china, because you've got these huge technology companies and that would have a huge consequence for u.s. competitiveness and the ability of the united states to compete with china. does that concern you? steve: that is getting way too political for me. i have never voted for a president for my life. i made the decision when i was 20 to be this way. not be political, be an average person. i'm not an extremist in any way. i don't know all those ideas. different people come to different opinions and they are all right. emily: i'm curious on your thoughts of the rise of the chinese tech industry. of, ifbody who built one not the most successful

. >> facebook's mark zuckerberg who has been criticized for being too close to president trump and his campaign saying publicly that the company will put in place new policies to flag, label and even remove content to tha violates its rules including from the president. >> if we determine the content may lead to violence or deprive people of their right to vote we're going to take that content down no matter who says it and similarly, there are no exceptions for politicians. >> activists say facebook is acting out of fear, worried that president trump will attempt to regulate social media companies he claims are targeting conservatives online. >> at every turn mark zuckerberg is worried about what donald trump will think. >> now, this issue is becoming quite political. just yesterday the biden campaign weighed in in a letter to facebook asking for the company to remove some of president trump's claims about voting from the platform and asking if they are not removed why they would not be removed under the new policy that mark zuckerberg announced last week. we are also learning from cn

mark zuckerberg, jeff bezos, tim cook and sundar pichai have all been questioned — following a 13 month investigation by us lawmakers. our technology correspondent james clayton has been watching the hearing. these four titans of tech run companies that are worth nearly £4 trillion. today they were grilled over whether their companies are too big, and whether they stifle competition. the richest man in the world, jeff bezos, runs amazon, which accounts for around 40% of online retail in the states. mark zuckerberg is the boss of facebook, instagram and whatsapp with more than 2 billion users worldwide. google and youtube are run by sundar pichai. around 90% of internet searches are on google. apple is run by tim cook, the most valuable of the big four and the company behind the iphone and its software. the big question is, do they own a bit too much of the internet? that's what us legislators wanted to find out today. thank you. before i begin to lift -- thank you. before i begin to lift —— before i begin... zuckerberg on the hook first and asked whether they simply bought competit

i spoke about mark zuckerberg. we'll run the interview this weekend. they say facebook might be better served if zuckerberg were not the ceo. that's not going to happen considering zuckerberg has the majority of facebook stock and can do whatever he wants. facebook has faced so much controversy the apology it always gives in each trophy has been abbreviated. it was "the new york times" who first came up with this idea of abbreviating it. chris and marcus, i tossed this to you at 5:15 but i will not quiz you. wkwhmwtz. that is we know we have more work to do. listen for that from facebook in the next couple of days. >> say that six times fast. >> next time i have a disagreement with my husband i'll try to abbreviate the policy. i'll let you know how it goes. >> thanks, scott. >>> happening today for you, this is a call of action to uplift the black community. today is blackout day. so what this is, a call for all black lives matter supporters to spend their money with black-owned businesses in an effort to bring attention to america's racial wealth gap.

next, a new report due out today one day after mark zuckerberg speaks to those leaving because of ads over hate speech. this is "today in the bay." >>> good morning. i'm cierra johnson. >> i'm kris sanchez. laura and marcus are off. you're getting a little something different this morning. kari is here with us. so is mike. nice to see you guys. nice mix-up, right? >> good morning. love it. >> yes, good morning. >> it's warm in here, kari. >>> it's going to start to get a little bit warmer in that forecast as we check out what's going on here. as we take a live look outside in walnut creek right now we're starting out with a clear morning. temperatures in the mid-50s. at least it's cool now because it will be slightly warmer for the afternoon. by 11:00 we're at 76 degrees and looking at highs in the low 90s here. san jose reaching 86 while san francisco today stays in the 60s. we'll talk more about this and what's ahead coming up in a few minimum. mike, have you had your coffee yet? >>> not quite. that's okay. folks on the roadways are getting along fine. i do have the cup next to me,

mark zuckerberg, fookcu is d of being a monopoly power. here is what he said about facebook buying instagram. >> i with hindsighprobably looks like insgram would have reached the scale it has todayhe but at time, it was far from obvious. >> the response from the chairman was this. >> facebook, i've mark zuckerberg's own admission, facebook saw instagram as a threat that could potentially siphon business away from facebook. rather than compete, facebook bought it. this is a type of anticompetitivesi acqon that the antitrust laws were designed to prevent. ros:im cook, the ceo of apple, it has been accused of using its charge high commissions. here is what he said. >> we haveears competition on the developer side and customer sidewhich is essentially it is so competitive, i would describe it as a street fight for market share in the smartphone business. ros: this is all about powernd influence and it is political. let's hear from the republican jim jordan. >> big attack is out to get conservative. that is not a suspicion, that is a fact. july

mark zuckerberg has been accused being too soft on president trump. now facebook did not lay out a very clear timeline of action but it did put out this statement hoping to kind of quell some concerns that are out there. this is what the company had to say. we know we'll be judged by our actions and not by our words and are grateful to these groups and many others for their continued engagement, basically saying this is a good thing to do, rattling the cage within facebook. this is also, though, i think very important to suggest, rosemary, to shine line on the silicone valley. are they too big to take outside counsel or influence to have independent auditors. not only facebook, google, amazon, some say april p.m. they are so wealthy, market cap so big that can they be challenged, can this campaign be sustained past july. as we say in twice, to be continued as this story is not near its end yet. that's for sure. >> we'll certainly continue to watch it. many thanks from abu dhabi. >>> and we are following an announcement from another popular social medi

fauci's interview with facebook ceo mark zuckerberg. but did fauci hit the mark? here now is -- you heard governor kemp. he said that if young people wear a mask and a socially distance, they will have a better chance of having a football season and going back to college. that's fine, people are going to try to do what they can do but we've already exposed the science behind regular cloth mask wearing, not surgical masks, is a little dubious. in this interview we were talking about with mark zuckerberg, fauci strongly recommend mandating masks, including ones that are not medical grade, watch. >> the recommendation was to not to wear a mask because of the shortage of it. two things happened. one, it became there that we had enough equipment, so there was no shortage. it became clear that cloth coverings -- you didn't have to buy in a store, that you can make yourself were adequate. >> laura: that's the rub, is it not? are cloth coverings making people safer and adequate? >> i think the short answer is no. there actually are studies that show that cloth masks are n

host: would you pose those questions to the facebook ceo, mark zuckerberg? and what examples would you give him? caller: the fact of the matter is that the president can tweak whatever he wants to. what about everybody else? who will censor it? who will be the one to say you

now we understand mark zuckerberg will also be meeting some of the key civil rights leaders who have really pushed for change. how public a meeting might this be? >> i expect it will be very tough. as you pointed out, facebook offered up a meeting with sheryl sandberg and the chief product officer, chris coxe, and the civil rights group said, no, we will not eat unless zuckerberg is at the table. that kind of set the tone that they wanted to go immediately to the top. what we have seen over the past couple of years is that these groups have been critical of facebook. they have been very vocal in the press with this and boycott. anticipate that we will hear very shortly after the meeting how it went. i am not really convinced facebook and give them a lot of what they are asking for. i will be surprised if the reaction is that facebook kind of stepped up to the plate. caroline: many civil rights leaders have said, we have done a decent amount on discriminatory ads. but there seems to be a real focus on voter suppression, hate speech, and the like. voters -- voter suppression is an inte

instagram has really blossomed and grown under mark zuckerberg. you also have the what's app platform. something really grown and blossomed under facebook but that is a big piece of their business that could be challenged. >> i think it has grown in spite of mark zuckerberg. one of the things that will become clear creators don't necessarily make great managers and i think that having him front and center in the public's eye footage well-documented will call into question maybe changing investment thesis associated with that stock. cheryl: yeah. i'm glad you said it. i was thinking it. but i wasn't going to say it but you did. talk about amazon really quickly. aws, the services platform, that has been a key component of a lot of back bone operations of key corporations around the country. due to the pandemic aws was a strong performer before the coronavirus pandemic t may be a blockbuster report from amazon? >> i think it probably is going to be. again, aws, you have got microsoft, apple moving into that space, google moving into that space, it wi

that was mark zuckerberg yesterday and these hearing. tom: first of all, they are all dressed like you. they have the skinny tie and they are on their best behavior, unlike you. what was amazing is that each guy is different and how each story is different. clearly making the news yesterday is jeff bezos was basically invisible for the first hour. jonathan: he did a good job of staying invisible, i've got to say. good luck. you don't succeed very often at all. coming up, we will catch up with kevin cirilli. up later, the former r.b.i. governor, now from the chicago school of business. bloomberg radio, seen on bloomberg tv, this is "bloomberg surveillance." ritika: with the first word news, i'm riddick a good -- i'm ritika gupta. the trump administration and congressional democrats close to an agreement. they are under pressure because of millions of americans that will lose their supplemental unemployment insurance this week. white house chief of staff mark meadows sees little chance for a stopgap azure that will extend -- stopgap measur

same thing as mark zuckerberg of the one getting the least amount of heat is tim cook of apple. only getting 12 questions so far but some other notable exchanges include nadler talking to mark zuckerberg instagram. kevin sightser the founder of the video app, when facebook copies their own features. pichai, talking about working with the military heading into the election in 2020. overall i haven't heard anything new. i don't think it changes market minds in terms of where the companies are going. i think earnings tomorrow is bigger for them in terms of the what the bottom line is. david: i think you mate be right about. that i want to bring in a opinion nell to discuss all of this. hone heroin, capitalist pig founding member and fox news contributor, russell hawley, around i will be ping-ponging with my colleague melissa francis. russell, i did not see any knock out punches. susan went through the lies. i didn't see any clearly effective jabs. clearly the markets didn't think any companies were hurt by it. they in general were doing as well as the dow in general was. what was y

mark zuckerberg in particular has been kind of out of the consensus on his stand for free speech when it pertains to political advertising and the rest of it do you expect him to have a different philosophical take here than we might hear from, say, sundhar picai of google >> mark zuckerberg has been open particularly when it comes to this issue of free speech. he wants us to be a free and open platform. there is intrinsic value, he believes, in facebook offering free speech. on the other end of that spectrum is how much they're willing to sensor racial content. this is a line they've been grappling with right now in particular, there is this boycott of advertisers of facebook, a number of hundreds of major brands boycotting facebook in the month of july to push facebook to take a stand on the issue of racist content on the platform so i think that zuckerberg is trying to be cognizant of the fact he has to speak to both issues, the need for free speech and the fact they need to pull down racist content, and there is this allegation they're pulling down conservative content more than t

mark zuckerberg, jeff bezos, sundar pichai and tim cook have all been questioned. our tech correspondent james clayton has been watching the hearing. these four titans of tech run the companies that are worth nearly £4 trillion. today they were grilled over whether their companies are too big, and whether they stifle competition. the richest man in the world, jeff bezos, runs amazon, which accounts for around 40% of online retail in the states. mark zuckerberg is the boss of facebook, instagram and whatsapp, with more than 2 billion users worldwide. google and youtube is run by this man — sundar pichai. around 90% of all internet searches are on google. and apple is run by tim cook, the most valuable of the big four and the company behind the iphone and its software. the big question is, do they own a bit too much of the internet? that's what us legislators wanted to find out today. zuckerberg: thank you. before i begin, i want to add my points... zuckerberg on the hook first and asked whether rather than compete with competitors, they simply bought them, notabl

i want to focus on mark zuckerberg's testimony. take a listen to this exchange with representative nadler. >> you have written that facebook can likely always by any competitor. on the day facebook bought instagram, which you described as a threat, you wrote, one thing about startups -- you were referring to companies like instagram, weren't you? >> i've always been clear that we viewed instagram as a competitor and a complement to our services. in the growing space after smartphones started getting big, and they competed with us in mobile cameras and photo sharing , but almost no one thought of them as a social network. people didn't think of them competing with us in that space. i think the acquisition has been wildly successful. we were able to continue investing and growing it as a standalone brand that now reaches many more people than kevin or i thought would be possible at the time. >> in early 2012 when facebook contemplated acquiring instagram, you told your cfo that instagram could be very disruptive to us. in the weeks l

corporate leadership at oxford university about mark zuckerberg. we'll run the interview this week. long and short of it, facebook might be better served if zuckerberg were not ceo. now that's not going to happen. a majority of facebook stock and can do whatever he wants. facebook has faced enough controversies that its standard apology has been abbreviated. it was "the new york times" who first came up with it, marcus and kris. this is the acronym wkwhmwtz, we know we have more work to do. listen for that today as mark zuckerberg meets with advertisers. >> and abbreviated like that. >> okay, all right. thanks, scott. >>> happening today a call to action. today is blackout day. the goal is for not one black person in america to spend a dollar today that does not support a black-owned business part of an effort to bring attention to the nation's racial wealth gap. organizers say that the black community accounts for nearly $4 trillion in economic spending power. to see how it turns out. >>> if you took your shot recently watching "hamilton" you are not alone. ♪ always be satisfied

federal ee officials began the two-day meeting with a policy decision due out later today >>> mark zuckerberg defended the acquisition of what's april and instagram. saying both apps use facebook's technology to stabilize traffic. this helped the social media giant's strategy after they were accused of trying to limit competition taking over other social media apps. due to test later today. >> from professor of management and innovation joins us now. professor, thank you for joining us again >> good to be back >> great to have you it feels like opinion is very divided in the tech community about how monumentious it is going to be today. >> i read a statement that said today is not going to be tech's big tobacco moment >> essentially all eyes are on them could they really represent a united front for the first time, it is not okay enough for one company to depend their position or whether that factor would deliver the benefit and present some kind of behavior whether facebook, google, microsoft, they all need to think about how they position themself in the public >> in terms of how lawmakers

this is mark zuckerberg speaking to the bbc. what you want to generally allow is as wide an aperture of expression as possible across the internet. he also says he doesn't want facebook to be an arbiter of truth but this boycott is asking all tech firms to be arbiters and they are reaching different conclusions. twitter labelled a donald trump tweet is glorifying violence. the streaming service twitch has suspended the trump campaign because of hateful conduct, referring to a 2015 trump speech in which he accuses mexico of sending rapists to america. facebook for its part says it has zero tolerance hateful posts but hasn't removed anything by the president. matters of truth and hate are sometimes clear, often not. it is a judgment and that tension around what stays and what goes will not be easily resolved. so we have looked at scale, at the finding truth and hate. next the issue of responsibility. does facebook simply reflect reality? the response to the boycott has restated to a facebook‘s long—standing beliefs, that the v

the day after president trump posted when the looting starts the shooting starts, mark zuckerberg did speak to president trump. now, it is not clear entirely what the nature of that conversation was, but it's believed to have been a conversation about what the white house could do in order to make facebook not to have take action against this post. ultimately, facebook did not take any action against that post which caused such a furor and it really does feed into this sense as you heard some folks talking about in the piece that facebook is worried that they could be targeted by the trump administration because trump himself has claimed that facebook and other companies are targeting conservatives online while civil rights groups and detractors say it's not about whether you're conservative or not. but whether your speech is targeting minority groups, lgbt groups and also in some cases we are talking about actual white nationalists, white supremacist groups online that i they're calling for facebook to take action on. >> they say they're pausing all of the social media advertising. s

next mark zuckerberg. rivals accuse facebook of being a monopoly power in the world of social networking. i think with hindsight it looks obvious that instagram would have reached a scala has today but at the time it was far from obvious. this was the response. facebook so instagram at the time as a top contender... they purchase it. this is exact to the type of antitrust legislation that was created to prevent. tim cook next, he's the ceo of apple. it's been accused of unfairly using its clout over its app store to block rivals and charge high commissions. here's what he's said. we have fierce competition at the developers side and the customer side which is essentially, it's so competitive, i would describe it as a street fight for market share in the smartphone business. this is all about power and influence — and of course — it's political. let's hear from republican jim jordan. i'lljust cut to the chase — bg tech is out to get conservatives. that's not a suspicion, that's not a hunch — that's

mark zuckerberg will be playing up the threat of china. he has said this before that regulation of big u.s. tech companies will give chinese companies an advantage. sundar pichai also paying up competition from other search engines, but also search composition on -- search competition on travel sites. tim cook will talk about the opportunity the app store has given apps, most of which are in the app store for free. opening testimony is a little -- david: i am afraid we have lost emily chang because of a technical problem. she was setting up a very important hearing to happen later today, although we are now informed it may be delayed. it was supposed to happen at 12:00 eastern. now there are reports it will be postponed until 12:31:00. the same thing happened with the judiciary committee yesterday when they were supposed to be questioning bill barr. that is because there was a traffic accident to the chairman was involved in. the issue is the size of tech, whether you can have this big of a tech company, all four of these companies are so

and why it matters is mark zuckerberg is becoming increasingly vocal about these differences. we saw him interviewing dr. anthony fauci last week expressing his contempt for the administration's coronavirus effort he has expressed, in the past, his objections to the president's immigration climate policy as general rhetoric so this is an ad boycott saying even though he supports free speech particularly in the political area he has big, big differences with donald trump. >> mike allen, thank you i'll be reading axios a.m. in a little bit, you too can sign up at axios.com that does it for me on this monday morning i'm yasmin vossoughian "morning joe" starts right now >>> it's one person coming in from china and we have it under control. it's going to be just fine. >> when you have 15 people and the 15 within a couple days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a good job we've done. >> i think we're going to be good with the coronavirus. i think at some point that's going to just sort of disappear, i hope >> i'll be right eventually. i said it's going to disappear, i'll s

mark zuckerberg's virtual meeting with civil right's advocates reporting seeing no commitment between for action between campaign leaders and the tech giant. go to susan for more. susan: the stop hate for profit movement met with facebook founder mark zuckerberg and coo cheryl samberg in send dance and vp chris cox returned to the company. according to the reports, statements out in the press a few minutes ago looks like those part of this meeting, that includes the naacp, also anti-defamation league present and free press and color of change, we didn't see any concrete step or actions to change facebook's behavior. if we can bring up quotes they're calling this a pr stunt. for instance they didn't have anything actionable. facebook approached our meeting which they called by the way, it was like nothing more than a pr exercise and boycott coalition leaders and advertisers understand the stop hate was lives and safety of our community. they were looking for more oversight and shall we say censorship of actual posts. they were looking for a c-suite level of executive of civil rights ex

mark zuckerberg is expected to argue apps have been able to tackle spam. >> the wrinkself the product facebook is providing is free so we are not talking about price gouging or any of those things you find when you are breaking up a trust. >> reporter: they began the probe on the issue before the pandemic hit. in san jose, maria medina, kpix 5. >>> coming up after two deadly crashes, a moped service is shut down in new york tonight but not the bay area. >> plus, if you get seeds in the mail, don't open them. the mystery shipments. and the theory about bioterrorism. >> the bay area coast is buzzing with activity. whale watchers are getting up close to humpback whales. we will show you what they are seeing m . >>> tonight gilroy is marking one year since a gunman opened fire killing two children, one adult and wounding 17 other people. >> there is lots of people who have ptsd that at didn't realize it and didn't realize how much they were affected. >> today we raised the gilroy strong flag to represent the strength and rezillance each and every one of you have shown. >> a memorial garde

zuckerberg who said look you've got these 4 companies here but if we don't keep innovating if we don't keep investing then in 5 years' time they'll be different companies here talking about the likes of my space remember my space no no many people do but it used to be the big social media platform and it disappeared because facebook overtook it certainly there is some concern that these companies have used the dominant market position google were accused of stealing directly from riaa rivals an accusation that google denied google was also questioned the but the fact that in the past it had walked away from a u.s. military contract saying that the u.s. military didn't align with google's values because the project was about creating war and then open google up to questions same will hold on a 2nd you see you don't want to what with the u.s. military why you walking with the military in china that was something that google denied they said look we don't have a great deal of presence in china as well mark zuckerberg was questioned about his takeover of instagram and saying look you reali

we are going to continue to push mark zuckerberg has to testify july 27th in front of congress on anti-trust. there's going to be ongoing pushing and engagement the demands from the civil rights community are out there now their own internal report, the audit, lists a whole set of things that they should be doing and the question will be, are they going to do that. >> that's the question, they have said multiple times they do not want to fold to advertiser pressure do you think this audit was something they commissioned themselves, do you think that is likely to lead to change or pressure on the anti-trust front? >> the fact i was meeting with this is the result of the advertiser boycott they asked for that meeting. we can't ask for that from them. we were going spoo thinto that with a real indication there would be no addition of a high civil rights person on the staffing only for them to tell us that was one of the things they were going to do. sort of trying to do some things around the edges they are having to deal with some level of pressure everything we know is that staff is speaking

. ♪ taylor: facebook ceo mark zuckerberg and coo sheryl sandberg met today with a group of civil rights leaders who have organized a boycott of facebook products. anti-defamation league ceo jonathan greenblatt was in the meeting. jonathan, what is your key takeaway from that meeting? jonathan: thank you for having me tonight. look, adl is the oldest anti-hate organization in the world. we have seen a lot. but i have not quite seen what we experienced today. the meeting was disappointing, to say the least. we, and the stop hate for-profit coalition which includes naacp, many groups, we laid out an agenda weeks ago. our recommendations are simple, straightforward, doable. facebook asked us for this meeting. we expected them to share details and time frames to execute on our recommendations. instead, we did not get details and we did not get time frames. so this fell far short of what we were expecting. taylor: are you worried than that meetings are conversations with facebook are talking the talk but you have not necessarily seen walk the walk yet? jonathan: that is a fair way of putting
