New Information In The Mueller Investigation. But Will Any Of It Be The Big One?
Why Diane's guest Ben Wittes says no.
Mark Zuckerberg told reporters this week that the data of as many as 87 million Facebook users was improperly shared with the political consulting from Cambridge Analytica.
Facebook says the data of 87 million users may have been improperly shared with the political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica – a figure much higher than previously thought. And the company’s COO Sheryl Sandberg says she does not know if Cambridge Analytica still possesses the user data. Diane talks with online privacy advocate Marc Rotenberg about what Facebook needs to do to address online privacy.
Then, a video of Sinclair Broadcast Group news anchors delivering the exact same message about “fake news” goes viral. Who is the Sinclair Broadcast Group and why did the corporation require their anchors do this? Diane checks in NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik.
