This podcast episode discusses the challenges of maintaining democracy in the digital age, especially in the face of authoritarian regimes like in Myanmar, where Facebook is being used as a tool of control and suppression.
The dissemination of misinformation and authoritative control through Facebook is prevalent in developing countries, where human rights abuses are committed by regimes using the platform to hunt down their opponents. The social media giant prioritizes its market share over combatting misinformation in these regions, putting lives at risk.
In a sketch called Oppression Mentor, Queen Jennifer Lewis talks directly to people who compared mask mandates to slavery and gives them some advice. She reminds them that Black people have been dealing with oppression for 400 years, and wearing a mask is a small inconvenience in comparison.
The transcript is unclear and it is difficult to understand what the podcast is about.
