Episode description
We've all heard the terms misinformation and fake news, but what do they actually mean? And more importantly, why are they so important to recognize? Today we bring you an interview with a member of Facebook's misinformation team - Andrea Vallone.
This is a truly unique look behind the curtain at a company that is shaping our generation.
We discuss everything from:
- What is misinformation and why should we care?
- The difference between misinformation and an opinion
- How Facebook uses dissent to test products before going to market
- What it's like to work on policy that will affect 2.7 BILLION users
- Fiction, escapism and trying to better understand the human condition
