believe this is an unsolvable problem but haugen says that s not true. i think if we had appropriate oversight or if we were formed 230 to make facebook responsible for the consequences of their intentional ranking decisions, i think they would get rid of engagement-based ranking, because it is causing teenagers to be exposed to more anorexia content. it is pulling families apart. and in places like ethiopia, it s literally fanning ethnic violence. cnn s done ie o sullivan joi us from capitol hill. haugen said that facebook should declare moral bankruptcy and ask congress for help. this was really compelling testimony. reporter: extremely compelling, and it just wrapped up, and the room behind me in the past half hour, victor. and you re right, senators on both sides of the aisle here appeared to be, i mean, frankly, gripped by what haugen had to say. have a listen. my message for mark zu zuckerberg, your time of invading our privacy, promoting toxic content, and prey
these aircraft come in close proximity to one another. all right, ryan brown reporting from the pentagon. thanks very much. remember, important programming note. stay with cnn later tonight for a very timely debate on tax reform. that s coming up, 9:00 p.m. eastern. that s it for me. thanks for watching. erin burnett outfront starts right now. outfront next, breaking news. north korea firing what could be its most powerful missile yet, one that could reach washington, d.c. plus, the president s reality show. today, trump staging a white house meeting like an episode of the apprentice playing roulette with a government shutdown. and trump going after senator elizabeth warren, raising questions about what he said about his own heritage. why did he say he s of swedish descent when he actually isn t? let s go outfront. good afternoon. i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, breaking news. north korea with a record breaking missile launch that potentially puts washington
Country, primarily economically. they don t want people here to panic. they don t want to see foreign investment taking being taken out of the country. and because they see all these comment acts of destabilization at the hands of russia, whether it be cyberattacks, whether it be misinformation, that are willing have a pernicious effect. and so, they resent, i think, it would be fair to say, this kind of exclusive focus on this idea of a full-scale invasion because they see so many different permutations of russian aggression they are dealing with on a daily basis. so, interesting to see that while some of that intelligence lines up exactly with the u.s., how they are interpreting it appears to be quite different, john. jill, to you in moscow, secr secretary blinken today said vladimir putin could quote pull the trilger but underscored the u.s. remains committed to diplomacy. so, give us a sense of what is going on in that court tonight.
