YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat’s social media doing to us, and how would you fix it?
Mark Zuckerberg has been a busy boy on the witness stand in Washington DC lately. In one of the most consequential antitrust cases in tech history, Meta is being sued by the U.S. government for allegedly maintaining a monopoly. It could reshape the future of social media, privacy regulation, and Big Tech.
But in an ideal world, how would you reform social media? How might we prevent it from deranging us?
Frances Haugen worked at Google and Facebook as a product manager and data engineer. She helped build algorithms that tweaked the ranking of search results. Then she made global news as a whistleblower, collaborating with the Wall Street Journal on bombshell stories about Facebook's misdeeds. She appeared on 60 Minutes and testified before Congress.
Frances and Josh discuss the problems with social media and what practical steps she recommends to reform the industry... and save civilisation.
