About this episode

An archive of redacted documents provide insight into what is happening on Facebook and behind the scenes at Facebook. The documents come from a complaint filed with the SEC by Facebook whistleblower Frances Huagen who says Facebook’s algorithms, and the economic incentives behind those algorithms, are rewarding extremism, elevating conspiracy theories, and bolstering negative content on the platform.  

The movie production of “Rust” will wrap indefinitely after actor Alec Baldwin discharged a prop weapon killing a crew member on set. Prior to the accident there were two incidents of weapons misfiring on set.
