1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Law Podcast. I'm June Grosso. Every 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: day we bring you insight and analysis into the most 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: important legal news of the day. You can find more 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: episodes of the Bloomberg Law Podcast on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: and on Bloomberg dot com slash podcasts. Paul Manafourt, President 6 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: Trump's former campaign chairman, is challenging the actions of Special 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: Counsel Robert Mueller again. This time, he's accusing the FBI 8 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: of illegally searching a storage unit that held his business 9 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: and tax records. He's asking a judge to throw out 10 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: all evidence from that search. Joining me is Bradley Moss, 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,639 Speaker 1: a partner. Mark said. Brad It seems like this challenge 12 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: has two parts, first the initial access to the storage locker, 13 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: and second the search warrant described the challenge briefly. Sure, 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: so basically this is a standard maneuver by many criminal descendants. 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: What Manafort lawyers are arguing is that when the FBI 16 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: initially went into the storage locker, they didn't do so 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: with a warrant. They merely had consent from someone who 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: wasn't authorized to give it. At the least, their argument 19 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: that this was a low level employee wasn't authorized to 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: give the consent, and that the therefore the fruits of 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: the search, the ultimate documents that metaphor us that Mueller's 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: team got when they went back and got a search 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 1: warrant after the fact, has been tainted and must be excluded. 24 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: They're also saying that the FBI basically misrepresented or omitted 25 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: some facts in asking for that second the subpoena to 26 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: actually go in. Correct. Yeah, they're they're arguing that they 27 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: went they went in and got far more records without 28 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: distinguishing the time frame of what was necessary and what 29 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: was relevant to the scope of their search, and that 30 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: they basically took everything that Mattaport had I think decades, 31 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: I think three decades worth of records in this storage unit, 32 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: was large storage unit having all kinds of business and 33 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: attorney uh client privileged documentation, and that Mueller's team just 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: took everything and therefore violated his Fourth Amendment rights to 35 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: expiasonable expectation of privacy. So this isn't TV. How often 36 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: does a judge throw out all the evidence from a 37 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: search warrant because of some of the of the allegations 38 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: that were made here. I think it's a very slim 39 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: read and very unlikely that Manafort succeeds h in its entirety. 40 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: There might be some areas on the periphery in which 41 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: he gets some of this pushed back. But by and large, 42 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: when the FBI went in, the employee who gave the 43 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: consent for them to simply look into the storage you 44 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: didn't actually open anything. They simply took a look inside 45 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: the unit. That employee was the one on the lease, 46 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: and that was therefore reasonable for the FBI to believe 47 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: that person had the authority to authorize to look in 48 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: even without that, and I still think that I'm going 49 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: to hold up. But even if that's not enough, there 50 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: is the exception of the role called inevitable discovery. The 51 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: FBI already knew that the storage locker was there. The 52 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: employee before they ever looked into it told them what 53 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: was in there. They could have very well gone back 54 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: at that point and got a search warrant anyways, So 55 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: the idea that this is all going to get thrown 56 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: out is extremely unlikely. This is a hill mary path 57 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: that force team has to try to try to aren't 58 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: weakend Mueller's case. But that's about all it is look 59 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: at the timing. Brad The Special Council's team revealed Thursday 60 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: night that they were using information related to the searches 61 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: for an ongoing investigation, and Manaforce attorneys filed this motion 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: Friday night correct and that that that Thursday night filing 63 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: raising some questions of what is the additional aspect that 64 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: UH filing by Mueller's team noted that it was for 65 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: regarding an investigation unrelated to the charges that have already 66 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: been leveled against Mr. Manafort, which of course everyone is 67 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: assuming but we don't actually know one way or the 68 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: other has to do with the original purpose of Mueller's investigation. 69 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: The question of criminal collusion during the course of the election. 70 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: Is that what this newest search warrant on March nine 71 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: was about. I think that's we're all waiting to find out. 72 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: But that has to be only raising stakes and raising 73 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: the pressure they're putting on Manafort to cut a deal 74 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: at some point, plead guilty and cooperate in Muller's probe. Now, 75 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: Manafort's lawyers are also asking the judge to order Muller 76 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: to reveal the identities of the accomplices who allegedly helped 77 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: him to lobby on behalf of Ukrainian officials, and a 78 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: detailed list of the allegedly false and misleading statements he made. 79 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: That does seem like information they need to prepare for trial. 80 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: But what's your take on it? It's called a bill 81 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: of particulars. They're arguing that, at least at the moment, 82 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: the bill of indictment is factually insufficient and that additional 83 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: information is required. I viewed the indictment, especially when it 84 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: came to the financial charges, to be more than sufficiently detailed. 85 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: But what's legally required. I don't really know where a 86 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: man of What's team is going with this, other than 87 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: they're trying to stall. They're trying to weaken and undermine 88 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: the case wherever they can, with whatever pre trial motions 89 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: they can, all in the hopes that in the end 90 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: it's become to politically controversial for the presidents and permitted 91 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: to continue and possibly he gets involved with a part 92 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: of well, so, Brad what At this point, it seems 93 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: like they're doing everything they possibly can to avoid having 94 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: him flip. But does it seem to you as if 95 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: Mueller is just not going to let this go? Yeah? 96 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see any way in which Mueller 97 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: lets us when it when it comes down to it, 98 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: if this gets the trial on the tax and financial issues, 99 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: Mueller has manifold dead the rights. And it's the same 100 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: reason the Gates the Richard Gates flips is because he 101 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: had them both debts to rights. They're absolutely going to 102 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: be found guilty on those parts. The question for Manaford 103 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: at this point is how much in this case he 104 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: can undermine on technicalities, how much he can weakend Mueller's 105 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: case to improve his own and him being Manaford, his 106 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: own leverage and negotiating position if it ultimately becomes the 107 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: point where he has to negotiate a plea deil. Do 108 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: you believe that they'll put off the trial date because 109 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: too much is happening right now? I don't. I don't 110 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: think they necessarily. I don't think that judge is going 111 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: to really be happy with that idea. Depends on where 112 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: it goes. I think it's unlikely. But you know what, 113 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: with this investigation, you just never know anymore. You don't, 114 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: but we keep track of it. Thanks so much. Brad. 115 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 1: That's Bradley Moss. He's a partner at markets Ain. Google 116 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: collects personal information about kids on YouTube and uses it 117 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: to target advertising in violation of child privacy protection laws, 118 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: according to a coalition of child advocacy and consumer groups. 119 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: The groups failed to complaint with the Federal Trade Commission 120 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: today to investigate and potentially find Google billions of dollars. 121 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: My guest is Angela Campbell, director of the Institute for 122 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: Public Representation, Communications and Technology Clinic at Georgetown Law School. Angela, 123 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: what kind of information is Google accused of collecting? And 124 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: how well? One kind of information they're collecting a geolocation 125 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: that's the location where um, the person using the app 126 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: is located. They're collecting the telephone number, Um, They're collecting um, 127 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: what they're called persistent identifiers, which are unique numbers. It 128 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: could be like your I P address or a device 129 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: I D number that is then used to track the 130 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: person across where they came from, where they're going, how 131 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: much time they spent watching one video or another video, 132 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: and in collecting any all that information and creating profiles 133 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: so that they can better target advertising. The same thing 134 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: with children. I mean, that's the thing is on YouTube. 135 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: If children are on YouTube, they're gonna be treated just 136 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: like everybody else because YouTube says that you're if you're 137 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: under certain you shouldn't be on the site. UM, and 138 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: so that you know there's I don't see how they 139 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: could treat them any differently since they claim that you're 140 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: not they're not supposed to be there. But in fact, 141 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: they put on so much programming on the main YouTube 142 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: platform that it really is intended for children. And children 143 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: are more likely to watch programming on the YouTube main 144 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: platform than they are on YouTube Kids. So in its 145 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: terms of service, Google says YouTube as you mentioned, is 146 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: only for users aged thirteen and older. YouTube's add policies 147 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: don't allow targeting children under thirteen, and there's a YouTube 148 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: Kids app designed for children. Are those good defenses to 149 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: a claim under the UM Children's Online Privacy Protection Act? No, 150 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: they're not. UM. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act applies 151 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: to a website or a portion of a website that 152 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: is directed at children. And there's just simply no question 153 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: that portions of many, many of the channels on YouTube 154 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: are directed at children. UM. The other way that one 155 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: is liable under copas if they know that, if they 156 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: know they're collecting information from children, which is clearly the 157 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: officials at YouTube. No, because they have, Well they're told 158 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: for one thing, by the these channels, but also they've 159 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: gone around and they've talked about how many kids are 160 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: on YouTube. UM, this is a big growing area for them. 161 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: They specifically packaged together about three hundred or so channels 162 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: that they call family and Parenting, But if you look 163 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: at them, they're almost all target to two young children 164 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: and those are all they sell advertising on that group 165 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: of channels on YouTube proper, not on YouTube Kids. So 166 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: what does the Children's Online Protection Online Privacy Protection Act 167 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: require Google to do or not to do as far 168 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: as children under thirteen are concerned. Well, what they can't 169 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: do is they can't collect any information, any personal information 170 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: from the children unlo and until they have gotten given 171 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: notice to the parents. And that's both having a children's 172 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: privacy policy, which they do not have, and also giving 173 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: direct notice to parents and then getting um affirmative parental 174 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: consent in a verifiable form prior to the collection of 175 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: any information. So those those UM notices that they put 176 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: up and signing the terms and services which you have 177 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: to check off, which I'm sure has a lot in there, 178 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: especially about YouTube is only for users at older that 179 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't do it for the act. That wouldn't take care 180 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,599 Speaker 1: of it. Well, you don't need to sign up to 181 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: use the app. Anybody can use the app or use 182 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: the yeah, the website. So I don't know because if 183 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: their children, they can't can't agree to those terms, right. Um. So, 184 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,479 Speaker 1: how has the FTC been in the past about enforcing 185 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: COPA Well, UM, I would like to see greater enforcement. 186 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: They think that they do a good job. I think 187 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: I just saw one of the FTC officials quoted saying 188 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: they had brought like two dozen copper enforcement cases. But 189 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: of course the law has been in effect since the 190 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: or two thousands, so that's not a lot of cases 191 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: per year. Um. But um, you know. So that's why 192 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: I think this is an important case for them to 193 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: bring you because it will send a really strong message 194 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: and you know there. I'm sure Google is not the 195 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: only one that's that's doing this, um, but they are 196 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: probably one of the largest, so it's not the largest. 197 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: Some of the advocacy groups behind this complaint have targeted 198 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: YouTube in the past. Were they successful. Well. In two 199 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: thousands fifteen, um, some of these groups filed a complaint 200 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: about YouTube kids and the basis of that complaint was 201 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: very different from the basis of this complaint. Um, that 202 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: was based on what we thought was unfair and deceptive 203 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: advertising practices towards children, and so um. The you know, 204 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: I think the FTC took it very seriously. I think 205 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: they looked into it, but as far as actually taking 206 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: any enforcement action, no, they have not. Um. They still could, 207 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: I suppose, but they haven't. So there are there are channels, 208 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: whole channels on YouTube, choo chow TV, nursery rhymes and 209 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: kids songs and different channels. Is Google under cop us 210 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: post to not advertise at all on those channels? They 211 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: can advertise, but they can only but they can't target 212 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: advertising to children based on their characteristics. Their profiles aren't 213 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: just okay, Um, this is an appropriate time for this 214 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: to come, with so much on, so much intense focus 215 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: on privacy and the Cambridge analytical scandal. Um Angela, let's 216 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: just switch for a moment to Facebook and Um. Mark 217 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: Zuckerberg is appearing for the first time before Congress tomorrow. 218 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: What do you expect the the senators and representatives to 219 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: be asking him? Well? I don't really know, of course, 220 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: but I would hope that they would be asking him 221 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: about basic privacy protections for everyone. He's spoken about trying 222 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: to apply the the g t p R, the the 223 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: European UH privacy rules that are supposed to take effect 224 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: in May, to allow American citizens have the same kind 225 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: of protections. And I think that would be very positive 226 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: step forward. Um that imagine they're going to ask a 227 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: lot about elections and how, you know, how did these 228 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: ads get onto YouTube and what can be done about it? 229 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: Do you see the Um, we only have about a 230 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: minute here, but do you see the dangers to children 231 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: from the internet growing as more and more children go 232 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: on to different websites in the coming years. Oh yeah, 233 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: I think it's potentially a very dangerous place for children 234 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: if it's not you know, designed responsible. Um. And uh, 235 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: you know, they're already subject to so much marketing, but 236 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,599 Speaker 1: but a lot of they are also such up to 237 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: a lot of really inappropriate content as well, which we 238 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: saw even with the YouTube Kids when we filed two 239 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: years ago, there was inappropriate content and there has been 240 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: more inappropriate content in recent months that I think YouTube 241 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: is trying to address. But be the way that they're 242 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: algorithms work. Um, you know, you might be watching something 243 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: that's perfectly fine, and then but will automatically recommend the 244 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: next video and we have the character doing, we'll have 245 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: to leave it there, Angela.
