with morgan brennan and jon fortt live from separate locations we begin the hour with facebook this morning and at controversy surrounding social media and censorship of political speech mark zuckerberg talked to andrew ross sorkin about twitter's move and its fact checking of the president's tweets >> we are different companies but we've been pretty clear on what i think the right approach is, which is that i don't think that facebook or internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth. i think that's a dangerous line to get down to in terms of deciding what is true and what isn't, and i think political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy and people should be able to see what politicians say >> meantime the president is expected to sign an executive order targeting social media companies. we're joined this morning by elevation partners co-founders robert mcnamee good morning it's good to see you again. >> carl, it's good to see you. >> let's zero in on those words arbiter of truth, because those are the same words dorsey uses in his tweet about the thi

order late in the day directed at twitter and facebook and google and other social media companies. walk us through what happened. taylor: twitter and facebook really going to be the two hardest hit companies. we know the president did sign an executive order making it easier for regulators to hold social media companies liable for curbing free speech. this all started after the president and then twitter put up a fact checking link on a pair of his tweets. as you can see, these are sort of the details we are getting from the executive order. it was claimed selective .ensoring emily: thanks so much. the tweets have been flying, as you say, between the president, between twitter ceo jack dorsey, this after the president signed an executive order that would hold tech companies more responsible for content that face these post and companies with potentially a flurry of lawsuits. earlier today, the president fired back at twitter after twitter added these fact checking labels for a couple of the president's tweets, singling out a single twitter employee. in response, ceo jack dorsey re

their success is not like facebook and instagram or google was successful but i believe there is an underlying culture that is in place meant to be so dominant. >> it would be a shame if they kept that to themselves there's never going to be a point in time when the tech giant say where's the manual and we will take notes for what we do well then beat us that way. >> they were just not hand that over so i thought with the background a little bit on relations of organizational culture i could find a way to write this down and put it together in a book and give it to the rest of the economy allowing them to compete with the tech giants and bring them into a new form of working so that was the idea that my plan was to enjoy that in a way to give the rest of us a chance to take part of the market share of these companies. >> thank you so much and on behalf of all of our members for diving in and sharing with us today. so my key of what you are saying is something is bigger and more bureaucratic. >> these big tech companies you found out they do things differently but before you jump on

, facebook fought into gram, therefore facebook is successful. i believe that there's this underlying culture that is in place by the tech giants that's led to them being so dominant and thought it would be a shame if they kept that to themselves. there was never going to be a point in time where the tech giants would say, here's our manual and go ahead. why don't you take notes and figure out what we do well and beat us that way. they just weren't going to hand that over. and i thought from my perspective as a journalist with a background that touched a little bit on labor relations, organizational culture, i could find a way to write this down and put it together in a book and give it to the rest of the economy in a way that would allow them to compete with the tech giants and actually bring them into a new form of working which i believe we're all headed to, the tech giants just have a held start. so that was the idea. i found this thing going on inside these companies, and my plan was to reveal it in the biggest way possible, the most impactful way possible, in a way that would gi
