Everyday we hear about how the big social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are disrupting our democracy, stoking hate and division, and hurting our kids.
Just last week, there was a hearing in Congress where members on both sides of the aisle grilled TikTok’s CEO about user privacy and security.
But how do these platforms do so much damage?
This week The X-Ray host Fernando Espuelas is talking with one of the foremost experts on social media and the harms it poses: Facebook whistleblower and tech expert Frances Haugen.
Listen to their conversation about how the unique power of social media algorithms wreak havoc on our society and why she’s hopeful that people can come together to hold social media companies accountable.
