one is about google's monopolistic power over determining pricing splits and what goes into their google play store. meanwhile, facebook's was more so about a personal networking service, so google actually does determine and control the pricing and what goes into it store. facebook, on the other hand, does not determine who posts, what pictures videos, messages, and likes on their platform. so in that respect, those 2 are very different and in a way google does have more power directly over its marketplace over facebook. so this, in that respect, this case might end up being a little trickier. what happened in facebook was that the fcc failed to establish that they had control complete monopolistic power. and they also failed to show exactly what harm facebook actually constituted. the complaint never identified who facebook competitors war and how they were harmed and monetarily how much they were harmed, and whether a less or product was actually being developed because of facebook, monopolistic power. so in that respect, those are 2 very different cases. one is over plot content that

they've kind of warped it to make google sound like that. they are taking advantage of developers when really google has just created a platform for everybody. and it's really an attack on openness because i think that if you google like this, it is unfair because you're not attacking apple in the same way. apple and google are very different. apple is a completely closed source system. they are free to de list apps. you are not allowed, they charge their own commission and you really can't hack an apple app store. meanwhile, the google play store, if you can't find an app that you want to download, you can actually go directly to the developers website. it's basically very nimble . it's open source and allows for please customization and utilization. so it's an attack on openness to go after google and not apple in this instance. well, in that case, you wonder how much apple might be behind this. there's a lots of different agenda, christie. i think that play here all under this idea that they're trying to go anti trust and trying to break

google delivers a vast range of products and services, from google maps and docs to gmail. pichai's total pay ranges hugely from $7 million last year to $281 million in 2019. sundar pichai has given interviews before, but rarely as much time as this. there are no agreed questions and nothing is off limits. interview, take four. a mark. b mark. sundar, let's start by talking a bit about this moment in history. in my work for the bbc over the last few years, i've been arguing that we've been living through a kind of epoch shift. technology is central to that. when you think about your career, when you think about the pandemic we've just been through, the transformations to come, where do you think you would put us? where do you think we are as a species in the long story that is humanity? oh, it's a big question... we'll start big, and we'll get narrower as we go along. look, i've always felt there is this constant progress which comes with technology, and it almost happens whether or not humans actually want that level of progress. i go through these thought experiments and

s. tech firm google. now, a google uses content from these news agencies and from these various newspapers and publications such as a new stories, articles and that kind of thing. it publishes them of course, on its website on this platform and it does pay them for it. however, what editors and frauds are saying is that there is no transparency over how those payments are calculated. google effectively pays what it wants to pay, rather than having come come to an agreement with editors over system for these payments. now under you rules, google was supposed to started talks and negotiations with these licenses and frauds over the payments to try and put in place an agreement on how they should be paid on how the payment should be calculated. however, what france's anti trust watched ok, and we'll leave that report from natasha, but just a shade early because we're going to take you to philadelphia the u. s. president joe biden there has just taken to the podium. he's had a quick journey marine one air for

amazon, 30% for google. we're also hearing concerns about use of consumers' personal information. that would be privacy. of course, privacy legislation on the federal level has somehow eluded us. mostly it would be handled in the commerce committee, but that's the other piece of this puzzle in addition to the work that needs to be done on antitrust. americans are counting on us to protect innovation and competition. to go over the stats, 94 million people in the u.s. own at least one connected speaker which they can use to play music, ask about the weather or tell their kids to come down for dinner. in the years to come, connected devices in our home will become even more sophisticated. these devices work with each other through technology interfaces, often digital voice assistants like alexa. i want to highlight a few key concerns that we explore at the hearing today. first, many consumers use their connected speakers to operate other connected devices like asking the digital assistant to lower the thermost

google delivers a vast range of products and services, from google maps and docs to gmail. pichai's total pay ranges hugely, from $7 million last year to $281 million in 2019. sundar pichai has given interviews before, but rarely as much time as this. there are no agreed questions and nothing is off limits. sundar interview, take four. a mark. b mark. sundar, let's start by talking a bit about this moment in history. in my work for the bbc over the last few years, i've been arguing that we're living through a kind of epoch shift. technology is central to that. when you think about your career, when you think about the pandemic we've just been through, the transformations to come, where do you think you would put us? where do you think we are as a species in the long story that is humanity? wow, it's a big question... we'll start big, and we'll get narrower as we go along. look, i've always felt there is this constant progress which comes with technology, and it almost happens whether or not humans actually want that level of progress. i go through these thought experiments

i want to show you microsoft and google or alphabet shares. google first. you do see microsoft shares actually down as well. this has a lot to do with the cloud computing business. those sales dropping -- gaining 51% but still not enough for a lot of those investors who are concerned about peak growth. alphabet in the green, this following twitter and snapchat, ad sales doubling to $7 billion. the advertising glut from last year is not there anymore. emily: thanks so much for the roundup. lots to get through today. i want to dig into the tech result, starting with apple. record third-quarter revenue, demand for ipads, services spanking --services sp iking. similar numbers with other tech results this quarter. i want to bring in dan ives of wedbush securities. he currently has an outperform. the apple conference call has begun. tim cook starting off global, touting india, latin america, vietnam. dan: it is all about china. china, the growth there, it has been a john dropper. that is a key to the apple thesis. it is a big art of why you are looking at 2.5 rou

and google play store christy. what really makes me angry about this is they're doing this under this premonition of anti trust. like the government's trying to be some sort of hero in this case in suggestion. but you know, i've read somewhere or a little bit concerned because we've seen other governments use anti trust is the cover to actually take control, which is what they're warning. this could be, if there is some sort of a compromise given you look at what's going on in india right now. even in china, other countries are around the world. this is how governments are able to get their own people on the board of these large organizations. like what we've seen as ali baba could we see the same and a compromise here, or a google going to do everything they can to find it to try to look or at least remain as separate from the government as possible. absolutely, i think if it actually came to that, that would be extremely, an american, it is essentially everything that we kind of criticize china for doing because

the opinion is facebook, am, google, et cetera are good for society. that will definitely have a fracture there could be a lag time. i agree with you that special interests are raising money for different reasons, actually, not just concern of influence of big entities and concern about censorship they have interesting arguments but different. they may reach an alliance which can be problematic for a large tech company if extreme right or extreme left coordinate and there could be a coalition to change through but right now they don't agree on which laws to change. >> keith, it's a great discussion we'll continue to have it. certainly when it comes to investors which we focus a lot on, they've had sort of treated the antitrust headlines as noise. when it comes to consumers, lawmakers. but, keith thank you so much we'll talk to you soon >> great >>> as we head to break keep your eye on uber and lyft on pace for their third straight negative session no surprise in today's market. that's over the past week. see them down there more than 5% plus take a loo

then systematically released into all of the different products they have google search, google news, youtube. this machine learning furnace infected all the company and i was brought in by academia. and that's a question we have to ask ourselves. why was freedom dismantled by a program from stanford with its ryan? that's just it just absolutely extraordinary here. i mean, i mean, let's put it kind of real world conditions. i mean, they do this for profit. do they do it to hinge or competition? or they just ideological fanatics because i'm worried that it's the last one. go ahead. ryan. yeah, i think the last one is the most accurate and obviously they are business, so they have to make a profit and, and they've done so, but they've gone above and beyond what a normal business would do as far as the ideological war that we're in. so i mean they, yes me so they have their policy rules which i am an expert on cuz i started it for 2 years. but anytime they wanted to, they could just make an exception to that rule. so if there's a left left, a celebrity, pushing a pro abortion agenda and

one thing they say is that google has a monopoly on search and google has a monopoly add sales and facebook has a monopoly on social media. i think a lot of these are not very well supported propositions because you look at facebook, melissa people are leaving facebook right now all the time. there are so many other things, you can go to twitter, youtube, and then went rising up, tick tock, i monopoly keeping others out are rising. when you talk about amazon, one big thing of amazon is that it dominating the online recap commerce certain sales as if that is the full working for odyssey amazon is continuing with people like ebay and other sites that let them in, it is competing with all online retail and all retail physical retail, to the you have these cases where they are trying to define these companies as monopolies based on narrow understandings of the market they are operating in. >> let's go to the democratic side, senator a new color chart, he right that she's trying to change the definition of what antitrust should be. >> yes, this goes back to the consumer harm standard which they

without google putting their finger on the scales. okay, ryan, really one minute left in this part of the program. but i mean, i have to ask the obvious question. i mean, are the politicians, it's in the pocket of these people? i mean, you know, you know what, we need free speech areas. we need to, we need to more censorship of, of conservative. but, you know, i mean, collectively these people, the left and right, they could claim to use exact words clamp id got 30 seconds before we go to the break ahead. yeah, politicians are definitely in the pocket of, of, of big tech. and yes, it's a huge problem and hopefully we can talk more about global elections as well because i saw some of that in south america, mexico. but yeah, there, these partitions are definitely in the text pocket. i mean, there's so much a lot of money it's, it's and saying, well, i'm not going to name names, but some major figures in congress are complaining about big tax. but it's obvious . and it's publicly known that they take money from, from google and facebook

we talked about google, but apple, too, around innovation. i think ultimately investors should rest well knowing that their core businesses are doing exceptionally well and more importantly that the company is tapping into new massive markets around transportation, health care, augmented reality, all of these have the potential to accelerate $300, $400 billion growth company so patience is going to be a virtue with this they may not get the credit today. i do believe that the stock for the next year plus should be $200 but if you start factoring in some of these other markets that they're going after that i just mentioned, this could be a much bigger valuation than $3.2 trillion. >> i get your notion about sustainability and i'll direct this to you, tim we asked the sustainability question more pointedly when we questioned the valuation and we think the valuation is full. is that the case with apple? >> well, i think the valuation has come a long way relative to itself so the bingo word of reoccurring revenue or -- look, so services, which ar

it's the largest find that google has faced in france. it see the 2nd largest find the french anti trust regulators of handed out to a single company ever. the reason that they've done it is that google was told that they had to come to some kind of fer agreement with publishers when it came to using news on their platforms. they didn't do that. they pretty much ignored it as far as what we, we can take from this. and that's the reason why they've been slapped with this 500000000 euro fine. the regulators say the size of the fine they've been given shows just how seriously they're taking it. when they are ready to decrease an obligation for a company, it must comply scrupulously both in the spirit and leisure of the decision here. this was unfortunately not the case. the sanction of 500000000 euros takes into account the exceptional seriousness of the breach of observed google for their part of said they're very disappointed with this decision and say that they were acting in good faith throughout which and pointed to the fact that they'd

not at all at google. currently, a facing law suits in 37 u. s. states over what is being called monopoly stick leverage that they have over the google app store on the android platform. a basically that google makes a bit of money out of every bit of money that's made by anyone using that platform lawsuits in those states in the u. s. saying that's completely unfair. that's also been big issues in australia as well. where earlier this year, back in february, the australian government put in place a ruling. well, anybody who's one of these major tech giants like google, all facebook, if they were to use any news on that platforms, they had to pay for it, that costs huge problems. so facebook pull down old news in australia from their platforms, but what it does show is that the regulates, is all looking at these huge check giants and google, in particular, that being to sears around the world, when it comes to just how much power they actually have they're also being looked into just how much tax they pay

amazon, apple, google, facebook? elizabeth: yeah, right now you've got the ftc doing facebook and you've got the department of justice doing google, and you've got a whole bunch of state attorney generals, republicans and democrats, joining in on those. they kind of center on different things, but a lot of it -- there's been a big house report that lumps in some of these things last year. one of the things they say is that google has a monopoly on search. they say google also has a monopoly on ad sales. they say facebook has a monopoly on social media. i think that a lot of these are not very well supported propositions, too, because if you look at facebook, millions of people are leaving facebook right now, like all the time. you can go to twitter. you can go to youtube. you can go to read it. you can go to new ones rising up, tiktok. you wouldn't have seen the rise of new things like tiktok. when you talk about amazon, one of the big things against amazon, it's dominating the online retail commerce with third-party

google play is the only app store on those phones. the lawsuit is part of a multi-state action being brought against the company. google play store comes on. well, as you know, nearly all android devices. you can't believe it. google has denied the allegations. it says the lawsuit is without merit. in the north bay. there's growing concerns about speeding drivers in one vacaville neighborhood. a man says that his truck was totaled when an out of control driver slammed into it while it was parked in front of his home with melanie townsend. now with the story. taking my. >> afternoon nap. and it just also in the loudest crash. that you can and i had never thought that it was my truck laying on its side. but cup spent 20 years restoring his vintage maroon 1977 chevrolet c 10. he just installed a new bumper in spent $10,000 over the years making sure she'd run for a long all i need to do is put that interior and it >> that's where it ends. i guess his hard work came to a screeching halt on june 21st around 06:30pm, when he walked outside.

they say google also has the monopoly on ad sales. they say that facebook has a monopoly on social media. i think a lot of these are not very well supported propositions, too, because if you look at facebook, millions of people are living facebook right now, like all the time. their settlement of the things you can go to twitter, you can go to youtube, you can go to new ones that been rising up, tiktok. you wouldn't have seen the rise of new things like tiktok. when you talk but amazon one of the big things they been saying is amazon its dominating the online retail commerce with third-party sales as if that's the full market. obviously amazon isn't just competing with people like ebay and of the sites that let third-party sellers on. it's competing with all online retail and ineffective compete with all retail physical retail, too. you have a lot of these cases whether trying to define all of these companies as monopolies based on what are very narrow understandings of the markets that they are operating in. >> host: so let's go to t

tech firm of google. google uses contents from these news agencies and various newspapers and publications, news stories, articles. it publishes them on his website and it does pay them for it, however, what editors are saying is there is no transparency over how those payments are calculated area google effectively pays what it wants to pay, rather than come to an agreement with editors over a system 40's payments. under eu rules, google was supposed to have started negotiations with these editors to put in place in agreement over how they should pay. however, what francis say is that that has not been done, google has not begun those talks, and therefore has decided to impose a largeaaaaaaar■ç■ç■ç■ (sophie fouron) it took us four days to get here, not because it's a long trip, but because we had to wait for the weather to clear up. look at the weather again. we're in the middle of the atlantic, north atlantic. we're in the faroe islands. there are 18 different islands. they're part of denmark

because this isn't just a french issue, french problem with google, not the sole google currently a facing law seats in 37 u. s. states over what is being called monopoly stick leverage that they have over the google app store on the android platform. a basically that google makes a bit of money out of every bit of money that's made by anyone using that platform lawsuits in those states in the us saying that's completely unfair. there's also being big issues in australia as well. well, earlier this year, back in february, the australian government put in place a ruling. well, anybody who's one of these major tech giants like google, all facebook, if they were to use any news on that platforms, they had to pay for it that caused huge problems. so facebook pulled down old news in australia from their platforms, but what it does show is that the regulates, is all looking at these huge check giants and google, in particular, that being pursued around the world when it comes to just how much power they actually have they're also being looked into just how much tax they pay in certain territorie

google did not like this calling it a baseless claim and saying its core services like youtube and google search are not available in china. we don't cower before though work of billionaires, so he brought j.d. vance back, what is your response to google's pushback? >> i think that google was attacking me for stating the obvious that they are in bed with the chinese communist party help me fight back against j.d.vance.com . and the reason that they are effectively lying is that we know that they are actually working with the chinese communist party. let me give you a couple of examples. first we know that google is doing high-tech artificial intelligence research with one of the biggest universities in china. we know that university is controlled by the chinese communist party. so of course they are working with the chinese communist party if they are working with the chinese university. we know that former obama administration secretary claimed that the chinese were in bed with google and was actively harming america's national interest. that is evidence they are in bed with china and be
