We’re talking freedom and race in America (we know!). Jon, who is famously old and white, is joined by staff writer Kasaun Wilson and associate producer Trey Sherman before talking to Alex Stamos, former chief of security at Facebook and current director of the Stanford Internet Observatory, about the impact of social platforms on democracy—and guess what? It’s not great.
