Highlights From the 2019 Aspen Ideas Festival

[7]

“We can defend as best as we can, but our government is the one that has
the tools to apply pressure to Russia, not us,” said Facebook founder and
CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the 2019 Aspen Ideas Festival. [8]Zuckerberg spoke
with Harvard law professor Cass Sunstein on issues including government
oversight, election interference, data privacy, and “deepfake” videos. The
15th annual Festival gathered over 400 presenters engaging with the most
pressing challenges facing the world today, including the [9]impact of the
Supreme Court's latest rulings, the massive [10]student loan debt facing
millions of Americans, and much more.
