Incoming flights from monday evening until the end ofjanuary in an attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus variants. Celebrations in china as 11 gold miners whod been trapped underground for two weeks are rescued. Some enjoy the wintry conditions as snow and ice sweep across the uk but Severe Weather warnings are in place for many areas. In about ten minutes it will be time for sportsday, first on bbc news, its click. Hey, welcome. Hope youre you doing 0k, and wow, what a momentous week in World Politics this has been. Whether or not youre in the united states, whats happened there will affect us all. I, Joseph Robinette bidenjr, do solemnly swear. Lara lewington joe bidens become the 46th president. Of the united states. Lots about the last few weeks has broken with convention and almost broken democracy in the process. It reminded everyone just how fragile democratic systems are, even at the heart of the free world. And at the grand finale of this election, the spotlight is now firmly on big tech and their practices, having shown the world the havoc, the mistruths and conspiracy theories that fake news can bring. Lets begin to listen to one another again, show respect to one another. And we must reject the culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured. Applause. As President Biden takes office, many, including the tech giants themselves, know that change is inevitable. But how much and what that change is going to be is still unclear. James clayton has been investigating what may be in store for them in the era of biden. Heres a striking thing about many who broke into the capitol hill complex. Take it back lets go armed with phones, many live streamed their actions or took selfies showing off their entry into the inner sanctum of american democracy theatre designed for social media. Big tech� s role in what happened onjanuary 6 cannot be underplayed. Sure, donald trump used social media to stoke up the mob. Sure, smaller players like parler and gab egged on the crowd. But conspiracy theories and extremism on mainstream social media is how many people wound up here. Many companies, like twitter, for years have been protected by a tiny piece of legislation known as section 230. Section 230 was written in the mid � 90s. Its been instrumental in the development of many of the services we know and love. The internet really wouldnt be the same without it. Its the reason we can upload any video we like on youtube or post freely on places like facebook and twitter. Heres the crucial sentence. No provider or user of an Interactive Computer Service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider. Or, in other words, big tech cant get sued for what you and me do on their platforms. January 6 was a watershed moment, notjust for the us, but for big tech, too the likes of twitter and facebook because it now seems likely, if not inevitable, that section 230 is going to be replaced. The case of Ashli Babbitt is why many politicians now feel its time to act. She was shot and killed as she broke into the capitol complex a wild thing to do with a tragic outcome. But what had driven her to do such a thing . Well, its likely a myriad reasons, but what we do know is that she was keen on twitter. She tweeted just the day before her death. Her feed is filled with allegations that the election was stolen, that a revolution was on its way. Sensational, sometimes fantastical tweets tweeted and retweeted over and over again. In the last few weeks before the capitol insurrection, shed been retweeting, non stop, some of the biggest conspiracy theorists and qanon supporters. I dont think that jack dorsey is responsible for the fact that she individually is tweeting information that may or may not be false. But what i would love to know is, where did she go from being a disillusioned air force vet, trying to adjust to society in the civilian world, to full blown conspiracy theorist who is willing to engage in an act of insurrection . When biden criticises big tech, he often picks out one company and one company alone facebook. For him, its become almost a byword for a Free Internet gone wrong. Heres another quote from joe biden about facebook from that New York Times interview. And then, in an open letter to the company before the election, he asked them to do more to take down fake news. The will of the people has been heard so, what could joe biden do when it comes to big tech and social media . For more than a century, the us has had tough antitrust laws. These were implemented after a handful of companies, or trusts, came to dominate the utilities of the us economy in the early 20th century. The same antitrust charge is now laid firmly at the door of big tech. There are already two antitrust lawsuits in the us one against google, accusing the company of dominating search and advertising, and one against facebook, accused of using a buy or bury strategy to hurt rivals. Many democrats want biden to go much further. Democracy has prevailed yeah, a number of democrats have called for breaking up dominant tech platforms. Whether youre talking about Elizabeth Warren or others, they theyre looking at the marketplace and they see that theres not a lot of competition rising up, not a lot of choices for consumers, and a lot of accusations that i think these investigations have started to shine an even brighter light on with the evidence that theyre finding. Thats right. Within the democrats, its a widely held view that big tech doesntjust need its wings clipped, that Companies Like google and facebook may have to be split up. So i think that were kind of going into an administration where there is a high degree of sophistication around the problems and there is a lot of outside momentum that is going to push them, even if they themselves dont feel comfortable, maybe, being in the leadership position here, that is going to push them in the right direction, and that includes aggressive action in congress. The whole point of enforcing anti trust laws, and perhaps even breaking up big tech, is to introduce more competition to places like San Francisco and Silicon Valley that have for years been dominated byjust a handful of mega tech companies. That could, in theory, usher in a new period of tech innovation, but big tech has big pockets. Its likely theyre going to fight this all the way. That was James Clayton in Silicon Valley. Now, there is one user generated source of information that we havent talked about yet, and that is wikipedia. And last week, the i3th most visited website celebrated its 20th birthday. Lara the free online encyclopaedia now hosts 55 million articles. It can be accessed in over 300 languages and its read 15 billion times every month. Thats 8,000 times a second as social media sites have battled disinformation, polarisation and accusations of censorship, wikipedia has fought hard to maintain the trust of its readers and to keep its role as a neutral arbiter and trusted resource. It does feel heavy to our community. We know we have a responsibility to get it right, and particularly in this era where theres so much misinformation, disinformation that circulates on social media, to be very vigilant about quality of the sources that we rely on and to be really thoughtful that, hey, we do have a place in the world. People trust us to at least try to get it right. And thats, you know. Thats more than you can say for some places. I have a lot of criticisms for how the social Media Companies have handled things, but theyve asked for a tough job, which is to say, heres a little box, say whatever comes to your mind. What do you think . And it turns out a lot of people think awful things and say awful and mean things and so on, whereas we have a much easier job we are writing an encyclopaedia, thats it. And therefore we do have a responsibility to get it right. But its a lot easier for us. Everybody knows what a good encyclopaedia article should be, it should be neutral, it should be well written, it should have quality sources, it should be accurate. So, we all have a shared vision of where we want to get to, whereas in social media, there is no simple shared vision. Itsjust people yelling at each other. And people do go to wikipedia for information on major subjects, so its crucial that its correct. During the covid i9 outbreak, the encyclopaedia saw record breaking increases in daily traffic, with 579 million visits to articles related to the pandemic. While social Media Companies battled with misinformation and conspiracy theories related to the virus, wikipedia had a dedicated group of medical experts creating articles which were based on verified information and reliable sources. In fact, weve done a partnership with the World Health Organization to try to be clear and sure that were giving the best possible information. Wikipedia, what we always try to do is, on any legitimate controversy, to present all of the legitimate sides fairly and to say, look, you may agree or disagree, but heres what. You know, Yasser Arafat said this and ariel sharon responded that, and we dont decide what is the truth or what you should think. We just tell you the history and the context. Over the past two decades, weve seen wikipedia evolve from a seemingly impossible idea to an internet giant. And amongst all the negativity surrounding social media platforms, its proof that people can come together online in a positive way. And lets face it, we could all do with a bit of positivity right now, couldnt we . Anyway, thats it for the shortcut of click this week. The full length version is up on bbc iplayer right now. As ever, you can keep up with the team on social media throughout the week find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter bbcclick. Thanks for watching and well see you soon. Bye bye. Hello and welcome to sportsday im gavin ramjaun. Plenty on the way this evening. Manchester united edge a thriller against liverpool in the fa cup thanks to super sub Bruno Fernandes. So close but still a masterclass from england captainjoe root who just misses another double century in sri lanka. And tyrrell hatton� s stunning final round helps him clinch the abu dhabi championship and with it crucial ryder cup ranking points. Hello and welcome to sportsday thanks forjoining this evening. What an fa cup tie we were treated to at old Trafford Manchester united got the edge over their bitter rivals liverpool, to progress to the fifth round of the competition. It was down to their talisman Bruno Fernandes to settle the game, after liverpool had levelled at 2 all. Patrick gearey was watching. The noise you hear might be recorded, the fan to see might seem a little flat, but this is a fixer that can ever feel empty. There is something on every game, every pass something on every game, every pass come every something on every game, every pass come every goal. Something like that one from liverpools mo sala come his sides first since he last round commanding a dryjanuary. Man united are League Leaders and have Marcus Rashford come a man of vision who spotted a Mason Greenwood who slotted the equaliser. Greenwood is just 19, the same age as rhys williams, still learning, sometimes the hard way. After William Smith some he wouldve known rashford wasnt going to. Jurgen klopp would hope this game would reignite his team, sometimes the switch only flicks when you force it. Most sparked, liverpool lived in old flame. It would be extinguished by magic. A year ago this week united sign Bruno Fernandes cicely to do things like this without a robbery but on close geography sustained by competitive history is settled by individual quality. After the game Manchester United manager 0le Gunnar Solskjaer was full of praise for the scorer of the winning goal, Bruno Fernandes great call. Good free kick. The thing is when you leave
