The best way to clean up social media, says Ethan Zuckerman, director of the Initiative for Digital Public Infrastructure at the University of Massachusetts, is not necessarily a big government clampdown. What if instead the platforms allowed for new tools and filters that clean up and give us discretion over the torrent of content into our lives? That's exactly what Zuckerman wants to see — but first he has to sue Meta to make it happen.

Discussed on today's episode:

I Love Facebook. That’s Why I’m Suing Meta. by Ethan Zuckerman, The New York Times, May 5, 2024.

This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
