Through The Revolving Door Between Facebook and Democrats

Through The Revolving Door Between Facebook and Democrats

On this week’s If Then, Slate’s April Glaser and Will Oremus talk about about a clever effort to restore net neutrality in Montana and New York. They also discuss Facebook’s latest news feed tweaks: this time it’s trying to resuscitate the local news economy by putting more stories from local sources in your feed. The hosts are joined by Dipayan Ghosh, a former privacy and policy advisor to Facebook, the Obama Administration, and Hillary Clinton’s campaign - to talk about his recent report on how digital advertising technologies lend themselves to disinformation campaigns, and what the government can do about it. And as always, Don’t Close My Tabs, their picks for best on the web this week.

Don’t Close My Tabs:

The Guardian: Fitness Tracking App Strava Gives Away Location of Secret US Army Bases

The New York Times: The Follower Factory
