here's what twitter did just a couple weeks ago. they let the leader of iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism, put a tweet out that said he will strike a blow against american citizens. that was fine but they censor the president of the united states? so, look, we've got to call them out every time it happens, and when president trump wins re-election and republicans take back the house, we have to hook at the consequences for big tech targeting conservatives. david: and joining me now is hogan gidley, national press secretary for the trump 20 campaign and former principal deputy white house press secretary. 40 goon, good to see you -- hogan, good to see you. the latest from facebook, by the way, what we're hearing through sources is that the committee to defend the president,s this is the organization that had the facebook site that's been taken down, will be suspended until november 1st. now, of course, that's just a day or two before the election. so it'll essentially knock it out of doing any good for the committee to ree

ok let's look at which media have been included on twitter's government affiliated list the label is now being shown in the accounts of russia's r.t. and sputnik as well as of some chinese media outlets including the country's official press agency and 2 major newspapers other outlets that one point of thought would be on the list they have been let off though among them the u.k.'s b.b.c. and america's m.p.r. twitter says it won't label these a state finance doubtless because of their editorial independence according to the company's blog independent media don't use their news coverage to advance political agendas twitter's labeling policy is also affected some editorial staff of state affiliated outlets including parties editor in chief margarita simonyan and the editor of china's global times newspaper auntie has sent a request to the company to explain in detail the labeling criteria still waiting for their response independent journalist martin summers told us twitter's labeling policy is intertwined with the global political situation oh i think there's an awful lot of politics

i have more so facebook and twitter twitter seems to decided a while ago and crossed all ends. the and in those clearly misinformation misleading and demick breaks those rules but for instance when trump suggested that somehow and ingesting bleach or disinfectant might treat the coronavirus facebook that stay up because the argument was you didn't tell people to do that and now facebook is better that it will actually block hostings from president yeah as you say facebook until now had resisted taking strong action and mocked that has long been a proponent of free speech on his site what do you think led to this shift in position from facebook. i guess it is there with 257000 americans dead from this disease that's part of it and i think also this book this story clearly over the last few years we've seen the do not want to upset to new people around the president to the extent where a very pro trumpet inaccurate news source like great art does not get banned does not get what gets a privilege spot in the face that missed out on their mobile app. and they have gotten a lot of c

or someone who consistently polls people who are product on twitter then and then it got you into this echo chamber of ideology depending on who ever you follow with with tick tocks seemingly it's content that generally the public is engaging with and kind of also over time is rising and i think as a result you're seeing things that u.s. might not otherwise be exposed to and then that is beneficial because it's giving you a wider perspective of perspectives and you might otherwise get on facebook and twitter today in a by by microsoft would do wonders for microsoft's image i heard that today i know that trump is warming up to the idea of microsoft taking over the platform is that going to placate tick-tock users well not necessarily that same tech talk style we just heard from exponent he told me that this is for many people a 1st experience of how trump really operates that is making threats setting deadlines and then flip flopping and they may come to wonder is this how politics really should be done now of course it does remain to be seen whether these young people can actually main
