He reports on a wide range of stories from current court cases to San Jose city hall.\r\n\r\nSince joining KQED in 1990, Peter has covered everything from the beginnings of the World Wide Web to the dot-com bust, from preserving Silicon Valley's open space to the preservation of historic Valley landmarks.\r\n\r\nPeter caught the radio bug at WAUS-FM while still a student at Andrews University in his home town of Berrien Springs, MI. He did local news and hosted a classical music program. Since then, he has pursued a variety of assignments, including production work at WBAI in New York and broadcasting to the English language community of Geneva, Switzerland via Radio 74.

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>Officials from 14 states’ top legal offices and the Justice Department have begun a coordinated conversation about ways to keep tabs on — and potentially rein in — the fast-growing tech giants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice on Tuesday convened a “listening session” with nine state attorneys general and top deputy attorneys from five other states. The meeting was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/11/646333029/justice-probe-into-bias-at-tech-companies-should-include-democrats-california-ag\">originally pitched\u003c/a> to focus on allegations of anti-conservative bias on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the discussion featured a broader group of topics in the tech industry, including the rapid growth of tech companies like Facebook and Google and their handling of user data. The attorneys general also talked about how antitrust laws might be used to set the right standard of consumer privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The discussion principally focused on consumer protection and data privacy issues, and the bipartisan group of attendees sought to identify areas of consensus,” the Justice Department said in a statement after the meeting, which was closed to the press. “Many shared the view that it is essential for federal and state law enforcement authorities to work together to ensure that these challenges are addressed responsibly and effectively.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the conversation in recent weeks has focused on Facebook, Twitter and Google, which were recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/05/644607908/facebook-twitter-heavies-set-to-appear-at-senate-hearing-google-may-be-mia\">called to testify in Congress\u003c/a> about the use of their platforms for misinformation campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at Tuesday’s meeting, “more names were mentioned” than just those three companies, according to California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who attended the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a recognition that privacy has a different definition for everyone these days.

The meeting was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/11/646333029/justice-probe-into-bias-at-tech-companies-should-include-democrats-california-ag\">originally pitched\u003c/a> to focus on allegations of anti-conservative bias on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the discussion featured a broader group of topics in the tech industry, including the rapid growth of tech companies like Facebook and Google and their handling of user data. The attorneys general also talked about how antitrust laws might be used to set the right standard of consumer privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The discussion principally focused on consumer protection and data privacy issues, and the bipartisan group of attendees sought to identify areas of consensus,” the Justice Department said in a statement after the meeting, which was closed to the press. “Many shared the view that it is essential for federal and state law enforcement authorities to work together to ensure that these challenges are addressed responsibly and effectively.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the conversation in recent weeks has focused on Facebook, Twitter and Google, which were recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/05/644607908/facebook-twitter-heavies-set-to-appear-at-senate-hearing-google-may-be-mia\">called to testify in Congress\u003c/a> about the use of their platforms for misinformation campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>California's top lawyer is calling on the Department of Justice to invite Democratic as well as Republican attorneys general to an upcoming meeting on alleged bias against conservative views on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Department officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/09/05/justice-department-consider-allegations-censorship-facebook-twitter/?utm_term=.482af5e9b555\">have said \u003c/a>that U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions wants to talk with state attorneys general about whether social platforms \"may be hurting competition and intentionally stifling the free exchange of ideas on their platform.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump has accused the tech platforms of suppressing conservative viewpoints. The companies have rejected the allegation. And evidence for anti-conservative bias is unclear. Nonetheless, tech watchers see the meeting as another sign of stricter government scrutiny looming over powerful tech companies such as Facebook, Google and Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, has not been invited to the meeting — tentatively slated for Sept. 25 — even though he represents a state that is home to Silicon Valley. He raised his concerns about his potential exclusion in a letter to the DOJ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the proposed gathering is meant to be a legitimate examination of the role of technology companies in social media, then states like California, the nation's tech leader and home to a $385 billion tech industry, will be invited,\" Sarah Lovenheim, adviser to Becerra, said in a statement to NPR. \"If it's a political meeting, then that speaks for itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Justice Department official told NPR that no official invitations have been sent out by the agency, and federal officials are still in the early stages of planning the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Justice official, the meeting had been discussed among a small group of attorneys general before being announced last week. Since then, \"the interest has been overwhelming\" and attorneys general of both parties have inquired about participation and received the same acknowledgement of receipt, the official said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the only attorney general to confirm to NPR his plans to attend is Texas Republican Ken Paxton. Spokesman Marc Rylander said in a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We look forward to participating in the DOJ's upcoming discussion regarding growing concerns that conservative voices are being suppressed on several social media platforms. This matter involves both the central tenets of our country's free market economy and the guaranteed freedom of speech. We must work together to ensure that online economic competition operates fairly and transparently, so that Americans across the political spectrum can make informed choices and the public discourse can flourish.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>There's a reason why Justice Department officials would be interested in talking with state attorneys general, who can have broad oversight power over social media, thanks to their consumer protection purview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consumer protection law in each state is extremely broad and allows them to basically protect consumers — that is citizens, people — from what they believe to be untoward conduct,\" said Doug Gansler, a former Maryland attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, several state attorneys general have been investigating the tech companies. Cases have focused on the collection and use of \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2018/04/02/facebook-missouri-cambridge-analytica-invesitigation/\">private data\u003c/a>, disclosures of sponsors behind \u003ca href=\"https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/attorney-general-bob-ferguson-sues-facebook-and-google-over-political-ad-records/\">political advertising\u003c/a> and how advertisers might exclude people from seeing ads such as those based on race or religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typically, state attorneys' cases against companies focus on violations of law or terms and conditions, deception or fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, it is rare for the DOJ to summon state attorneys general for a meeting to direct their focus to a particular part of the industry, said Gansler, a former president of the National Association of Attorneys General.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department has not said anything about the plan for the meeting beyond interest in concerns that tech companies may be \"hurting competition and intentionally stifling the free exchange of ideas.\" It's unclear how much of the goal is to facilitate a conversation about the allegations of anti-conservative bias versus the antitrust concerns about the size and reach of the leading tech companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way, simply having federal and state officials digging under the hood of the tech companies and requesting incisive details of their algorithmic secret sauce could threaten their business models, said Dipayan Ghosh, a fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School and former policy adviser at Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the internet companies are quite concerned about this — and they should be,\" Ghosh said. \"This is recognition that state attorneys general have tremendous power ... to start a discussion with industry about standards on privacy, standards on security or standards on transparency. I would hope that these can be done in a way that is not politicized.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The politics, however, has been an unavoidable part of the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1034456281120206848\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump in recent weeks claimed that Google \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1034456281120206848\">\"rigged\" search results\u003c/a> to surface \"bad\" stories about him and cited his loss of Twitter followers, which coincided with\u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-21/conservative-twitter-users-lash-out-over-disappearing-followers\"> Twitter's purge\u003c/a> of bots and spam accounts. Trump has also warned tech companies to \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-trump-tech-warning/trump-warns-google-facebook-twitter-to-be-careful-idUSW1N1SO058\">tread carefully\u003c/a> on \"troubled territory\" without citing any specific evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tech companies have denied allegations that their algorithms have anti-conservative biases. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey wrote in his \u003ca href=\"https://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF00/20180905/108642/HHRG-115-IF00-Wstate-DorseyJ-20180905.pdf\">prepared congressional testimony\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Twitter does not use political ideology to make any decisions, whether related to ranking content on our service or how we enforce our rules. We believe strongly in being impartial, and we strive to enforce our rules impartially. We do not shadowban anyone based on political ideology. In fact, from a simple business perspective and to serve the public conversation, Twitter is incentivized to keep all voices on the platform.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The matter of free speech on social media is complex. As private companies, tech giants already decide what type of behavior they will or will not tolerate on their own platforms. For example, they regularly remove offensive or hateful posts, even though there are no laws on this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Twitter \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/06/645352618/twitter-bans-alex-jones-and-infowars-cites-abusive-behavior\">permanently shut down\u003c/a> accounts of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his outlet InfoWars, citing violations of its policy on abusive behavior. Jones faced similar bans last month from Google's YouTube, Facebook, Apple and Spotify. Jones, who is known for peddling sensational falsehoods about the Sandy Hook shooting and other tragedies, has accused tech companies of censorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision-making about the right balance of speech on social media becomes ever trickier if federal officials and elected politicians such as state attorneys general begin to weigh in. And the DOJ's move is making at least one conservative advocacy group uncomfortable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Justice Department should not wield its authority to subjectively pick winners and losers in the tech industry or to police free speech,\" said David Barnes, a policy manager at the advocacy group Americans for Prosperity, which is backed by the Koch brothers, who tend to support Republican candidates. \"Antitrust laws exist for the good of American consumers, not to further the political interests of public officials.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

The companies have rejected the allegation. And evidence for anti-conservative bias is unclear. Nonetheless, tech watchers see the meeting as another sign of stricter government scrutiny looming over powerful tech companies such as Facebook, Google and Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, has not been invited to the meeting — tentatively slated for Sept. 25 — even though he represents a state that is home to Silicon Valley. He raised his concerns about his potential exclusion in a letter to the DOJ.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the proposed gathering is meant to be a legitimate examination of the role of technology companies in social media, then states like California, the nation's tech leader and home to a $385 billion tech industry, will be invited,\" Sarah Lovenheim, adviser to Becerra, said in a statement to NPR. \"If it's a political meeting, then that speaks for itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since then, \"the interest has been overwhelming\" and attorneys general of both parties have inquired about participation and received the same acknowledgement of receipt, the official said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the only attorney general to confirm to NPR his plans to attend is Texas Republican Ken Paxton.

This matter involves both the central tenets of our country's free market economy and the guaranteed freedom of speech.

I would hope that these can be done in a way that is not politicized.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The politics, however, has been an unavoidable part of the conversation.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>WASHINGTON — President Trump lashed out at U.S. tech companies Tuesday, accusing Google and others of suppressing conservative voices and \"hiding information\" and good news. He cited no evidence for the claim, which echoes both his own attacks on the press and a conservative talking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google, operator of the world's most popular search engine, responded by saying: \"We never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump tweeted before dawn: \"This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!\" Hours later, Larry Kudlow, the president's top economic adviser, said the White House is \"taking a look\" at whether Google searches should be subject to some government regulation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has made similar complaints before, but he carried it a step farther Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Google search results for 'Trump News' shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, without offering evidence, that \"96% of results on \"Trump News\" are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1034456281120206848\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A query Tuesday morning several hours after the president tweeted found stories from CNN, ABC News, Fox News and the MarketWatch business site, among others. A similar search later in the day for \"Trump\" had Fox News, the president's favored cable network, among the top results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump tweeted that Google and others \"are controlling what we can & cannot see.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Google said its goal is to make sure users of its search engine get the most relevant answers to their queries quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don't bias our results toward any political ideology,\" the Mountain View-based company said. \"Every year, we issue hundreds of improvements to our algorithms to ensure they surface high-quality content in response to users' queries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continually work to improve Google Search and we never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google searches aim to surface the most relevant pages in response to a user's query, even before he or she finishes typing. The answers that appear first are the ones Google's formulas, with some help from human content reviewers, deem to be the most authoritative, informative and relevant. Many factors help decide the initial results, including how much time people spend on a page, how many other pages link to it, how well it's designed and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A search for \"why is the sky blue?\" for example, yields initial results from NASA, universities and \"Scientific American.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, entering \"Trump\" and clicking the \"news\" tab will produce results from mainstream media outlets that large swaths of the population tend to trust -- even though Trump has derided some of these outlets as \"fake news.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and some supporters have long accused Silicon Valley companies of being biased against them. But, while some company executives may lean liberal, they have long asserted that their products are without political bias, and indeed no such bias has been proved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump didn't say what he based his tweets on. But in a blog post over the weekend, conservative activist Paula Bolyard had said she found \"blatant prioritization of left-leaning and anti-Trump media outlets\" in search results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bolyard based her judgments on which media outlets were left- or right-leaning on a list by Sharyl Attkisson, host of Sinclair Television's \"Full Measure\" and author of \"The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think, and How You Vote.\" Sinclair is a significant outlet for conservative views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump began complaining about the issue earlier this month as social media companies moved to ban right-wing \"Infowars\" conspiracy theorist Alex Jones from their platforms. The president also argues regularly — and falsely — that the news media avoid writing positive stories about him and his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple, YouTube and Spotify have permanently removed some of Jones' content, Facebook has suspended him for 30 days and removed some of his pages, and Twitter gave Jones a weeklong timeout and was mulling deeper changes to try to limit the spread of fake news, misinformation and hate speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has not named Jones, who is being sued for saying the 2012 shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School was staged, in any tweets on the issue. Jones has since said he believes the shooting did occur and has argued that the lawsuit should be dismissed because he was acting as a journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has praised Jones' \"amazing\" reputation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is also of concern on Capitol Hill, where the House Energy and Commerce Committee, chaired by Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., recently announced that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will testify before the panel on Sept. 5 about the platform's algorithms and content monitoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ortutay reported from New York.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Follow Darlene Superville and Barbara Ortutay on Twitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/dsupervilleap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http://www.twitter.com/dsupervilleap\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/barbaraortutay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http://www.twitter.com/barbaraortutay\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He cited no evidence for the claim, which echoes both his own attacks on the press and a conservative talking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google, operator of the world's most popular search engine, responded by saying: \"We never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump tweeted before dawn: \"This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!\" Hours later, Larry Kudlow, the president's top economic adviser, said the White House is \"taking a look\" at whether Google searches should be subject to some government regulation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has made similar complaints before, but he carried it a step farther Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Google search results for 'Trump News' shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out.

A similar search later in the day for \"Trump\" had Fox News, the president's favored cable network, among the top results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump tweeted that Google and others \"are controlling what we can & cannot see.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Google said its goal is to make sure users of its search engine get the most relevant answers to their queries quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don't bias our results toward any political ideology,\" the Mountain View-based company said. \"Every year, we issue hundreds of improvements to our algorithms to ensure they surface high-quality content in response to users' queries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continually work to improve Google Search and we never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google searches aim to surface the most relevant pages in response to a user's query, even before he or she finishes typing. The answers that appear first are the ones Google's formulas, with some help from human content reviewers, deem to be the most authoritative, informative and relevant. Many factors help decide the initial results, including how much time people spend on a page, how many other pages link to it, how well it's designed and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A search for \"why is the sky blue?\" for example, yields initial results from NASA, universities and \"Scientific American.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, entering \"Trump\" and clicking the \"news\" tab will produce results from mainstream media outlets that large swaths of the population tend to trust -- even though Trump has derided some of these outlets as \"fake news.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and some supporters have long accused Silicon Valley companies of being biased against them. But, while some company executives may lean liberal, they have long asserted that their products are without political bias, and indeed no such bias has been proved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump didn't say what he based his tweets on. But in a blog post over the weekend, conservative activist Paula Bolyard had said she found \"blatant prioritization of left-leaning and anti-Trump media outlets\" in search results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bolyard based her judgments on which media outlets were left- or right-leaning on a list by Sharyl Attkisson, host of Sinclair Television's \"Full Measure\" and author of \"The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think, and How You Vote.\" Sinclair is a significant outlet for conservative views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump began complaining about the issue earlier this month as social media companies moved to ban right-wing \"Infowars\" conspiracy theorist Alex Jones from their platforms. The president also argues regularly — and falsely — that the news media avoid writing positive stories about him and his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple, YouTube and Spotify have permanently removed some of Jones' content, Facebook has suspended him for 30 days and removed some of his pages, and Twitter gave Jones a weeklong timeout and was mulling deeper changes to try to limit the spread of fake news, misinformation and hate speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has not named Jones, who is being sued for saying the 2012 shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School was staged, in any tweets on the issue. Jones has since said he believes the shooting did occur and has argued that the lawsuit should be dismissed because he was acting as a journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has praised Jones' \"amazing\" reputation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is also of concern on Capitol Hill, where the House Energy and Commerce Committee, chaired by Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., recently announced that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will testify before the panel on Sept. 5 about the platform's algorithms and content monitoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ortutay reported from New York.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Follow Darlene Superville and Barbara Ortutay on Twitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/dsupervilleap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http://www.twitter.com/dsupervilleap\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/barbaraortutay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http://www.twitter.com/barbaraortutay\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
