what people miss is facebook, the core facebook site is growing nicely, facebook blue has the most data which meta, the company, to leverage the data, to instagram, from an engagement standpoint you are seeing more user growth on instagram, that business should continue to grow. the problem is you have people falling off of facebook blue at an increasing rate that becomes the head wind, that is what facebook is dealing with. i expect instagram to continue to grow but at a certain point, facebook has a little over one of 3 human beings on earth as platform subscribers it is challenging to grow beyond those levels. carleton: in the meta first situation, is facebook going to be the player here or is there a possibility they could bring voice to it but it will be someone else? facebook will be the friendster of the meta-first? >> there are a lot of ways to play the meta-verse or construct what it will look like. facebook or meta is doing a pretty nice job being an evangelist for what it will look like and getting people to broaden their horizons and expand minds of what the meta-verse can b

want to use or email or facebook to sign in facebook as convenient, right? just one click and you're in and usefully, it means more data for me. i didn't recently stopped buying wine. she is currently opting for smoothies frozen pizza and pickles. and when i show her this photo of her friends baby on facebook, she hesitates just a little longer than usual. interesting. know the data points to one thing, but her boyfriend doesn't know yet. and neither does her colleague how can we leave as little dot online as possible, is deleting cookies and browse history regularly enough to surf anonymously to people allowed us to use their profiles to tasteless. oh, jessica vega is often online but she wants to remain as anonymous as possible. oh, she's installed an ad blocker and she regularly deletes have browser history. oh, which was a for the fists was i tried to be careful and mindful of which information i share from. i really tried to protect my personal data as much as i can when i'm online. i'm so mama's will dis, prevent companies from collecting her data. wil

i'm facebook's database. i know what edina likes, music by kluso for example, and she's a fan of by a live, of course and of her gym. i know which post she likes and what she shares with her friends, her comments, the people she sent messages to and what she writes, i can watch her outside of facebook too because the dina has enabled access to location data. so i always know where she is and can see where she regularly spends time. 3 times a week, she uses this cafes, why fi? most likely she works there, maybe to pay for her studies, or for something else. her location data also allows me to see which other facebook users are close by and whom she off meets including at the cafe. this is probably a colleague. this guy stays over almost every night. i'd say he's her boyfriend. but every once in a while, another pro fall is at hers and at night too, oh, i know this guy. but this isn't her only secret. as i learned with the help of her activities on other apps. she uses this one to shop. want to use your e mail

facebook still shows people. news but the news this is a this this this is something i did yesterday with a tool where you can see what's trending on facebook and you see you know the top. of the on the right are the top five stories that happen to be trending at that moment and it's basically. an all news of you know lad magazines and conservative you know right wing propaganda. and what it looks like every day is you know fox news. breitbart celebrities stuff- raids and repeat. and the result is you know what has happened to news all over the country this is a photo of the philadelphia enquirer newsroom but the same you know has happened to- the news in wherever you live there were two fifty six some odd thousand journalists working in just daily newspaper all over the- country. twelve years ago and there are now. affect many. journalists have actually been losing their jobs faster than coal miners. and i can that in for seven years- i don't think your city is going to have a daily newspaper if it does today. a

although initially facebook held up well, because let's just say -- but facebook slammed head first into a retaining wall when it reported in early february this was a sizable earnings miss, coupled with dismal guidance for the next quarter. so the point where i said oh, darn, i can't believe i own it for trust. their four-year capital expenditures would be much higher than we thought in response, the stock lost a quarter of its value overnight since then, facebook has been in the penalty box. you had the apple privacy changes, so everyone that accesses facebook on an apple is much less valuable to an adve advertiser you had general pressure on the advertising business because all these supply shortages mean companies don't mean to spend as much, because they don't have any merchandise. it didn't help the user growth seemed to be evaporating you have a situation where bulls lost all confidence virtually overnight. it didn't matter that mark zuckerberg was running it any more i've told club members to chill when everyone is panicking i was adamant facebook would be able to beat tiktok by

first of all on facebook. i think it's extremely difficult to find out what what what's going on and i also think you know, so one of the suggestions that that my organization has made is that the terms that facebook and youtube and others should should be inspired. you know, they should be inspired by you know, the only thing that approaches something at the universal level because we have to you know, there's always this danger but in free speech debates of what i call the tyranny of american parochialism, you know, everything is viewed through a us lens, but but these are global platforms and and and what's at stake in the us is not the same in russia or iran where social media is basically the only way that you can circumvent official propaganda and and and censorship. so what we argue, is that the terms at least an issues such as hate speech and disinformation should then be inspired by international human rights norms. that's what they that sort of the limit that they should try to to reach but when we a

in three weeks it's ten years since the facebook ipo this is the entire history of facebook as a stock. now meta, of course, what you'll see here, a long scale, all percentage moves are portrayed as equals, going from 100 to 200 is the same distance as 200 to 400. it evens it out. what's fascinating it was riding this trend line all the way up to a trillion dollar valuation, going to have to fudge it a little bit here. but that's where it cracked. what would it take to get the stock at least on a long-term basis back up into that channel, probably up in the mid-200s, 250 or so. even with this break, though, stock cut in half. the annualized gain in the stock since the ipo, 18% compared to 6% for the s&p 500, total return for the s&p, 10% any way you slice it, massively outperformed since the ipo, even though you've had a massive retrenchment over the last several months. >> it's been throughout this whole history a relative value play within faang itself >> it had became that, yes i'd say over the last four or five years it became that. it used to kind of swap back and forth with alpha

itself.- shrinking user base for facebook itself. _ facebook itself. some will say that growth — facebook itself. some will say that growth is _ facebook itself. some will say that growth is slowing, - facebook itself. some will say that growth is slowing, this i facebook itself. some will say that growth is slowing, this is| that growth is slowing, this is bad news. the others will say, well, growth is still growth, compared to the likes of netflix and some other big losses we have seen. what side of that debate you settle on? well, certainly growth is still growth, and the one figure that looks especially good for facebook is the growth in revenues per user, because they users are stagnant. but again, this has been a very slow change, especially in north america and europe. most of their new users are coming from asia and africa, so unless they can find a way to compete with some of the new companies, like tiktok, orfind a new way some of the new companies, like tiktok, or find a new way to platform eyes things like the matter verse, platform eyes

he responded, facebook gives me the willies. what do you think having elon and twitter's quarter or at least on the board means for facebook? david: i would reiterate having him in your corner is bad for your rivals. period. i would say many of us find things that have happened on facebook give us the willies in recent years, so i can understand why he would say that. i do think twitter, on balance, has been a more responsible platform than facebook. but the confusing thing is his repeated statements, several times saying he wants free speech to be more allowed on twitter, he thinks it's maybe too restrictive. it doesn't really make sense since he's never been restricted by twitter. he's been restricted by the sec and i think he's had second thoughts about some of his own tweets, but it's bad for facebook. i do i think maybe an edit function is a good idea for twitter. i personally have trouble using twitter. i just find it awkward and off-putting in many ways. i'm an outlier in the tech journalism community in that way. but i c

facebook i think got taken down because of privacy wonderful overall, but not wonderful for facebook shareholders netherlands got taken out. what you have left is google, apple, microsoft microsoft showed yesterday, they continue to deliver on azure, linked in, even games. i think that over the next few years. there will be new names that do better than faeng names. >> go to the negligence investment committee calling joef ee negative joe ter november a he says don't believe the hype my words, not his. expressing point of view where the market is heading. >> do you realize how long i am in the portfolio of equity names? i am fully invested. we had dramatic reversal friday. recovery attempt monday, failed on friday, sold some s&p futures on the failure monday. you have to do that to protect against risk i like what we hear from earnings i am not getting out of microsoft, alphabet, apple, i am holding on to these names and everything in the portfolio. those are the names that have a v shaped recovery. but let me ask you, scott, dollar is at a five year high. what's the message on earni

questioned what we have been paying for facebook for three years. no reason it should outperform now. we heard from them it will take years for them to monetize the metaverse. i don't like we have defending 330 on the triple qs or 220 on the semis and the s&p closed to a fresh low today. on the lows. so these are things that at least from technically, carter makes it sound like, hey, it is a foregone conclusion the next couple of levels next week, who really knows that's the issue buying oversold stocks and saying there is a handful of ones, i say you can't invest in a bad neighborhood right now the market is a bad neighborhood. >> that last point, tim, spot on we were here yesterday, talking about how can we be more constructive going through this earnings period. the backdrop, the macro economic backdrop, we are not in an accommodative situation where you can sit here and try to catch falling knives the continued volatility that we have seen, facebook down, whatever it was, 35%, it popped up 18 and i think settled around low double digits, that in

is it facebook or its contributed to maximizing shareholder value? the facebook answer has been to send disputed posts to these groups that decide that. the various panels that look at the speech and decide whether it's disinformation. when mark zuckerberg became concerned about stuff, disinformation and misinformation and so on, he said things you don't want on the platform include, we don't want obvious hoaxes or conspiracy theories. i think thereo was an assumption on what that is, the american political system would just basically leave that to people, it is hard to prove. essentially returning over the question proof, the numbers of determination facts. i hasten to add my impression is that is not the way it works because of what john mentioned, the problem of scale. he got 2 billion people, 100,000 disinformation posts, i small number. if you have a panel or an oversight board has to determine the truth of them, they are not going to get them. the one thing on social media that's in scale andnd the scale turns out to manage the system, we will

it is facebook. facebook user growth, growth, yes it is back, a little bit anyway. the stock is a ball a lot more because it was down a whole lot of the year so far. up 17% in two yesterday, down by more than 40%. amazon and apple still to come, those two names, 20% of the nasdaq 100. they report after the close. let's finish on this, an embarrassing moment for the japanese policymaker, make sense of this for me. on the same to the bank of japan is coming out and pledging, doubling down and pledging to come in and bind unlimited amount of japanese government bonds, the cap on the 10 year yield at 0.2 5%, the ministry of finance, according to a source speaking to us, they are extremely concerned about the move in the fx market. the n up 1.4 percent. the action to the boj and concern for the ministry of finance in japan right now in total conflict with each other. tom: this is interesting. not that i'm an expert on the culture of this but i would suggest your administrative finance and chosen few end up at the lovely bank of japan is sort of the passage you have there

yes, facebook uses ditching a platform in record numbers. and the discovery that teens spend way more time on tick tock clearly got mark zuckerberg worried about his future. billions so matter, roped in a consulting firm called targeted victory to launch a smear campaign implanted bad opinion pieces about take talk and papers nationwide . and also wrote fake letters to editors which expressed concern about harmful tick tock, trends like the one that all students damage school property. oh, all that slap a teacher challenge. turns out these trans wacky i that completely think or had in fact started on facebook itself. matter also decided that it want to take talk to become every parents worst nightmare bring, would be to get stories with headlines like from dances to danger. how tick tock has become the most harmful social media space for kids. oh, the irony matter, the parent company a facebook which hosted $22000000.00 images of child abuse just last year. smearing, take talk as a dangerous space for kids. the same matter that owns instagra

host: instagram is now owned by facebook? have they responded to parental or other pressure to change the architecture and make it less addictive? guest: not really. i know they are concerned. i've spoken with the heads of instagram and mark zuckerberg. they have tried. they do research on it. they're very small reforms, like hiding the like count. they are aware of it. i think they would like to make reforms if they didn't cut market share. they are in a struggle. the kids are moving to tiktok. it's funnier. facebook is desperate to retain them. they will not do basic things like require. when my kids entered sixth-grade, they said everyone is on instagram. they are all 11 years old. i've asked them, will you doing to police that? that's not true. you don't do anything. host: jonathan haidt is our guest. you can read the article at the atlantic. we welcome your calls and comments.

>> i work indirectly for facebook on its oversight board. now i have to say i will quickly say. >> what is that? kindly inquisitor. what i want to say is i don't have any evidence from anything that has happened or anyone has said that anyone can see what face book is doing in content moderation as a political effort to head off a political movement. and i should also say i have inside knowledge there is no evidence that facebook is pursuing a g hot against conservatives, it's just not there outside or a inside. however when you think about the big picture and also beyond that which this scholar was trying to force on it i think as it may not be possible even if we say we've got to stop this stuff, it may not be possible.ah but your perspective is an interesting one, jacob. what you think about all of this? >> i think acknowledging that free speech comes with costs and harm is essential. the idea that free speech is an un- mitigated good under all circumstances is not a persuasive idea. i think that social media has amplified. it has a gener

on social media posts like facebook and twitter, one of the things -- i guess on facebook one of the things you can do is like someone's post, right? rep. greene: you can like people's posts. >> and when you like someone's post that is a way of signifying you agree with or admire or think it is correct, the post is correct, right? rep. greene: i don't know. i don't agree with your phrase of questioning. >> i'm asking you isn't it a that when you personally, ms. greene, like someone's post you are signifying your approval for the post says. rep. greene: no, i don't agree with how your phrasing the question. >> so, it is true that you liked a post that suggested that "a bullet to the head of nancy pelosi would be a quicker way to remove her as speaker of the house then impeachment," right? rep. greene: you are using a cnn article which -- cnn has lied about me multiple times, and you are using a cnn article as your evidence. >> did you like a post that says "that a bullet to the head would be a quicker way to remove nancy pelosi?" rep. greene: i have had many people manage my social me

google, facebook, and amazon is collecting and profiting off of your data. data collection can be seen as a new since harry people. when you must pay for the largely digital space. so much data is shared with companies that it becomes an excess. companies need to be held responsible and realize their data collecting. the ftc is the current federal agency that regulates privacy and data collection. the privacy goal is to prevent companies from making their own guidelines for collection and usage. >> in its current version -- version is to push back against google, facebook, and amazon. >> they have to see can enforce the privacy lock. it does not create guidelines for all companies. if one company has likes guidelines they cannot be taken to court by the ftc. there is some patchwork data collection regulation on a state level but there is no number hence of federal regulation. >> the best way to protect personal information is to have comprehension data collection regulation. >> data security, we do need a national standard because of what is happening at the

there has been some conversation about how facebook let's you edit and facebook and twitter are not the same thing. last time i checked, journalists around the world have not been putting facebook posts in news stories stop this would fundamentally change what the platform is. maybe that's what elon wants to do. i don't know why he's taking a stake in this other than he has figured out this is somehow going to serve his agenda. we will have to wait and see but i don't think it will culturally change -- maybe he wants to burn us out? it's just a bunch of ceos, politicians and state actors. maybe it's not that great anymore. emily: to that point, and your article just this week where you suggest elon musk could be bad for free-speech, the venture capitalist mark entries in reposted and did not seem to agree with your premise. elon musk then commented saying such an article is always good for a laugh. he confused the article that it was actually republished in the washington post. but what do you make of a defender of free speech criticizing your free-speech? tim: they are entitled to do t

and turn off your facebook the couch. you know, this sort of libertarian idea that the founders intended for twitter to be owned by shouting, crowd presses and whack rock. it's just ridiculous as the height of falling micro quick. i'm going to give you a chance for your thoughts on the nationalization with a i totally disagree with it. i want to make that perfectly clear. i think that free and fair competition is the way to instruct to ensure free speech. and that is what has happened is we've had state protected monopolies in effect. and that's why we have the situation that we do because the state has been meddling in these corporate affairs. and so i totally disagree with the idea of nationalizing. i'd like to see more competition, less monopolization and less regulation all all the way through. ok, well i believe, what would you do you know, grants agree entirely on that leaving on very quickly. we don't exactly know what elan most is going to do with he wants to make some algorithms open source for free speech and au

well if you look at a thing like facebook in the early days of facebook it was a little bit of a combination of like frenster which was like, you know finding your friends online a little bit of combination of like hot or not, right? who's this person's picture and then like poking people on walls. and then what happened was? camera phones got better. and mobile service got better and we as users started posting photos to facebook. a lot so much so that over 50% of the content on facebook at one point was people uploading photographs. so what at facebook to they refined the algorithm to make it that you'd see more photographs in your newsfeed. and that also helped them sell more ads because it allowed them to create more wider more graphic ad layouts where people would see the ads interspersed with the photographs in their feed. and i talk about this in the book. why do i bring this up? because the algorithms are a dialogical process right? it's us giving them information and telling them what our preferences are and then they refine and fine-tune in order to keep us on the site longer and s

got it start in 2011 as a facebook page. and its editor in chief, francesco conchella, though, still called facebook the site's big brother. but it's come a long way in a landscape dominated by italian broad sheets, familiar names like encoded ada sierra lot, a public up. las tampa. fanpage has stayed away from print. there's no need. it's youtube community. you media equals out of loud in public. i needed cardeana de la santa combined and its various platforms, both viewing numbers of more than 10000000. while it's under cover investigative journalism strikes at the heart of at least political power. and it is found pages, exclusive interviews and slickly produce videos that drive the daily pitts can't. yolando says fanpage is up there with the established newspapers, but with one major difference. this course up as well as the now the quest, the knowledge is dna. unlike the majority of newspapers in italy, stands out because our editor have no conflict of interest. and that means the paper can tell stories as they are ok.

criticized russia, these accounts would report this person to facebook, to try and get facebook to pull that down. all of this happening in the background and we're learning a lot of what russia is doing today, we also know that a lot of this is also happening on the other side as well. >> donie o'sullivan, thank you for that reporting. >>> the fbi arrests men accused of impersonating dhs agents for more than two years. the bizarre new details ahead. >>> but first, chef, writer, traveler and friend anthony bourdain played a special role in millions of people's lives around the world. as cnn prepares to bring you the new film "road runner," some of his closest friends and family share some of their favorite memories including his brother. >> i would say the first time i went with him on one of his shows, i think his third show he ever did, in 2001, i went to france with him, we hit some of the old memory places from there. that was his first series. and it was completely new to him. he still didn't quite know how to behave on camera. i was tagging along on a lark and he ended up roping m
