About this listen
On this episode of “The American Resolution”, host Heather Gardner talks with lawyer and influencer Alicia Luncheon @TheLuncheonLawyer about the current state, and future of social media.
They start with the recently announced changes to META’s content moderation policies and decision to end fact checking on the platform (2:30), and owner Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to suppress all political content leading up to the 2024 election (6:30).
The discuss Elon Musk’s “MAGAfication” of X (formerly known as Twitter) and the increasingly right-wing tilt of social media platforms (10:30) and the algorithms promoting disinformation and rage-bait (17:00).
They break down TikTok’s brief shutdown and the propaganda they provided to Trump upon returning (21:00), whether Trump’s plan to have the US government take control of the platform has any merit (28:00) and whether we’ll see any meaningful regulation of these platforms under the new administration (31:00).
