Episode description
Alise, Bryan, and Amanda debrief on the Instagram outage and how they made use of the time. They discuss how the worldwide disruption highlights how deeply Facebook’s platforms are embedded in our lives -- and why that should scare us. They also detail a FB whistleblower’s allegation the company knowingly drives hostility and anger to help its bottom line. Finally, they settle into congressional corner to share updates from the Dems’ breakthrough and why it’s absolutely no problem that protesters followed Kyrsten Sinema into the bathroom.
