cambridge analytical revelations. that being said, we do have concerns about facebook. they include not just what is going to happen as a result of cambridge analytica and further scrutiny related to data and personal privacy, but also the notion that we think that the facebook life form is not a place for growth anymore. you think about messenger and instagram,n plans on you remember -- oculus vr? there are questions facebook needs to answer now. that may not happen now because instagram has been so successful, but even video on facebook. we have been hearing about that growth driver from a monetization perspective for a couple of years, but i do not know that we have released in that -- which is a plus in terms of future opportunity -- that a negative, perhaps in terms of near-term execution. emily: meantime, romaine, we of have amazon coming up. we will talk momentarily about the president's ire toward jeff bezos and "the washington post." but, that aside, what do you -- we when it comes to saw fairly strong prime day earnings, amazon is expanding its tentacles and all of these n

political consultancy cambridge analytica. the commission raised concerns about political parties buying personal information from what it called data brokers. theo leggett reports. documents have been pored over and officers raided. a major part of the inquiry has been looking at facebook, now the social media giant has already admitted that data from up has already admitted that data from up to 87 million users may have been acquired without their consent by a company called cambridge analytica. it is looking at allegations that data was misused by both sides in the eu referendum campaign. how? by making sure that advertising and other information was targeted directly at the people most likely to be influenced by it. we looked at the campaign on both sides, on leave and remain. again, we have found some contraventions of the law, we have also found misuse of data. our investigation continues, we have not finished yet. in october we hope to have our final report but we are taking action against some of the campaigns and players. the information commissioner plans to find faceboo

considers its investigation but i indicated the facebook actions leading up to the cambridge analytic hack constructed with the ftc in 2011 to strengthen my belief that it has routinely violating its promise with consent before sharing information as members of the commission after i have reviewed the matter recognizing the gentlelady from california. >> last week we discussed governing to privacy with the telecommunications providers before they could share with unlimited third parties. but more broadly it is often the case with the online platform and to visit that platform but on that website is that information to allow that third party to access user data so i believe a necessary part of that discussion could be addressing access with whom a consumer has no direct relationship. but with that independent third party data use. >> under the current authority if that is disclosed we may be frustrated to combat that. but with respect to any privacy legislation giving rights to know what it is used for if we were able to implement that as these principles come from 20 years ag

facebook's data scandal, cambridge analytica. we sat down or an interview at a mobile marketing event in sonoma, california to talk about the groundwork he is laying for 2020 amidst concern for russian meddling. mr. parscale: my focus is on the midterms. you have to understand, for 2020, holding the house is very important. to get the agenda of the president done so we have a platform for 2020. it is important to hold those seats. what you see from a campaign standpoint is a supportive role. we are not taking a lead role, we are taking a supportive role. we have money, options, content and creative, things we can do to help. we can help in other ways. that is an important role for us, to be sure that we can do everything for the president's campaign and committee that we can support them and make sure we do everything to hold the house. emily: what are lessons you learned? what would you do differently? mr. parscale: that is a deep question. what is funny in 2016 was i did not have a basis of information. i came in with a clean slate, which i think was an advantage for me in many ways

we knew that it was not only possible but it was happening. nobody was listening. cambridge got a hold of the data on 150 american voters, and sorry 150 million. that's a lot of voters. almost all of the actual voters and that was a massive scandal. a researcher got the data and handed it over to facebook because they have no control over who took it out and when that story ran out it was like a massive meltdown. it was a reflection of the facebook policy and they encourage application developers to take all the data and use it to target ads and use facebook in a more creative way. it encouraged other websites and applications to connect itself to the ecosystem and become dependent. was policy everybody that follows social media knew this. a lot of us raised questions and got no response. in 2012, there was application on people's phones you could use if you were a volunteer and you could login with your credentials and not only what the data be shared with the campaign but all of your friends would. pretty soon without even knowing they were getting it they would have all the dat

got the data cambridge analytica got from datas of tens of millions of americans, whether that ended up in russian hands but here's another venue, vehicle in which the russians might have gotten data on americans. >> were you or your committee aware of the russian company and just reporting on what they were doing involving this da that? >> no. we were not. and it's certainly something that we need to look into. we have learned a lot in the last few weeks about cambridge analytica, the ties to the russians and the ties to those in brexit, the connections between the brexiteers steve bannon and the trump campaign, a lot of parallels there but this new potential for russian gathering of american data was not brought to our attention, no. >> so you want to reopen the house intelligence committee investigation on this and see if the russians used this information as far as meddling in the u.s. presidential election? >> well, actually, wolf, we never closed the investigation. the republicans walked away. they're not interested in learning the answer to the questions, what data on american

triggered by the cambridge analytica stuff. how do you feel about how the report addresses those types of things. not hacking but actual use of da that that facebook has on everybody? >> it's interesting to know the head of the committee in the uk parliament has a background in advertising. so he's really troubled by this. he was troubled by cambridge analytica's role purchasing facebook data. manipulating it to psychologically target voters. he's really focused on this. this is why he continues to interview people, bring people in. he commissioned this report. >> feels very thorough. feels less politicized than other hearings in the united states. >> that's right. it's a comprehensive look at the entire system. it's a really great report. if you wanted to learn what's been going on in the last two years in elections around the world, take a look at this report. >> we were talking about cambridge, but before that, about facebook users posting fake news. do you see something different now? do you think there's been improvement on that front as we are 99 day from the midterms? >> t
