E152: Is financial crime the juice behind Meta's success?

The old adage about social media is: 'If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.'


We’re used to hearing how platforms use our data to feed advertisers, but what if there’s a darker undercurrent?


Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Jeff Horwitz, Investigative Technology Reporter at Thompson Reuters and author of the book Broken Code: Inside Facebook and Its Harmful Secrets, to ask: is financial crime the juice behind Meta's success?


The pair discuss: the internal documents showing Meta knew about financial crime, how it works in practice, and whether Meta or the regulators will put a stop to this growing trend.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy
