Hey, remember how Elon Musk bought Twitter? It’s been a chaotic week since then, both on and off the controversial social media platform. There are still a lot of open questions about what’s going to happen to Twitter. But the whole strange deal also raises questions that extend far beyond one platform. Like, how might this affect the spread of misinformation online? How might it affect democracy itself? Right now, there’s no better person to help answer those questions than powerhouse tech journalist Kara Swisher.
