Summary
The old adage about social media is: ' If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.' We’re used to hearing how platforms use our data to feed advertisers, but what if there’s a darker undercurrent? Our expert host, Marit Rødevand , is joined by Jeff Horwitz , Investigative Technology Reporter at Thompson Reuters and author of the book Broken Code: Inside Facebook and Its Harmful Secrets , to ask: is financial crime the juice behind Meta's success? The pair discuss: the internal documents showing Meta knew about financial crime, how it works in practice, and whether Meta or the regulators will put a stop to this growing trend.
