Over 800 alternative news accounts were banned by Facebook shortly before the US midterms
Tech companies have invested hundreds of millions in “news” media.
Facebook and Apple, YouTube have all announced that they will directly fund handpicked “authoritative news sources.”
These sources will then be promoted to their users without ads.
Google, YouTube’s parent company, has committed a budget of $300 million to pay for “quality journalism.”
YouTube has committed $25 million to paying for “news.”
YouTube has also reported that it will “prominently surface authoritative sources” for users. (again, promotion with no ads)
Jan 2018, Facebook code changes pushed “establishment” news sources to the top of engagement – CNN at the top.
Mark Zuckerberg’s stated goal was to promote “high-quality news” that “helps build a sense of common ground.”
The “trusted sources” ranking – any conservative outlets?
Zuckerberg’s example of “good trustworthy journalism”: The New York Times.
Facebook announced it would partner with 80 unnamed publications to create “exclusive news content” ahead of the 2018 US midterm elections.
Facebook said it planned to directly fund news programming, such as shows from CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Mic.com.
These outlets often parrot the “Russia Collusion” conspiracy.
Fact: Google CEO Sundar Pichai told Congress that his company could only find $4,700 in ad spending from Russia-linked accounts in 2016, the Trump election year.
National Review: “Private interests that closed deals with Vladimir Putin and his agents — thanks to then–secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s public favors — gave the Clinton Foundation between $152 million and $173 million.”
36,809 times the spending.
Tech workers overwhelmingly support Democrats. In 2018, just over 1% of the $15 million sent to candidates went to Republicans. Where is the diversity?
23% went to Democrats – are tech people above bias?
“Saudi money is already behind many of the biggest tech startups in the US, including Lyft, Uber and Magic Leap. Saudi Arabia’s massive $45 billion check to SoftBank’s Vision Fund, the largest venture fund of all time, means Saudi money will likely be part of the biggest pool of venture money for years to come. The Vision Fund has made at least 26 investments including into Slack, WeWork, GM Cruise, and other brand names.
“Over the last five years, Quid estimates Saudi investors have directly participated in investment rounds totaling at least $6.2 billion.

In this episode, I tackle audience questions, starting with George St. Peterson's role in the Russia-Ukraine war and the importance of diverse opinions. I discuss the potential resurgence of Christianity in the West, emphasizing the need to apply rationality to moral discussions.
I explore the influence of childhood experiences on ethics and offer insights on co-parenting with an irresponsible partner, stressing the social context of relationship choices. Additionally, I analyze how welfare programs impact family dynamics and accountability and confront the complexities of free speech in incendiary contexts.
Finally, I reflect on originality in thought-sharing and encourage critical engagement with ideas amid widespread misinformation, expressing gratitude for the audience's support in navigating these discussions together.

"Hi Stef! My name is [x] and I've been listening to your show for a couple years now, my husband introduced it to me shortly after we got married. I've really enjoyed learning about philosophy and self-knowledge and have been applying it to my marriage and other relationship queries. I was hoping to talk to you about some struggles I've had maintaining relationships (friendships) throughout my life. I've never had a local friendship last more than a few years. I'm about to continue my self-knowledge work by going to a Christian group therapy (Freedom session) and I was told I would need a sponsor (a friend or relation) to closely connect with for these group sessions. It occurred to me that I don't have any close friends and no one I could ask (besides my husband). To me that is alarming. I feel as though I should have at least one long term close friendship. My husband and I talk about this often - how I often have difficulties maintaining friendships. I've ...
