The Social Reckoning: Frances Haugen On What Facebook Knew & Why She Came Forward

About this episode

Frances Haugen is the Facebook whistleblower whose story inspired Aaron Sorkin’s new film The Social Reckoning. This compilation revisits my 2023 conversation with Frances, then turns to Jonathan Haidt, Max Fisher, and former Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. We discuss the falseness of the free speech vs. safety binary, the run-up to January 6, what smartphones are doing to kids, and how to reclaim our boredom. Years later, these ills have only grown worse, which is why these conversations still matter. Enjoy!
