Investigating Instagram with Alex Stamos; An Evolving Middle East with NYT’s Tom Friedman 6/8/23

New York Times foreign affairs columnist Tom Friedman discusses his most recent trip to the Middle East, comparing the region today with the region even six months ago. He weighs in on Saudi Arabia’s LIV Golf and its deal to merge with the PGA, and the rapid progressive evolution of Israel and the Kingdom. In a damning investigation into Instagram, The Wall Street Journal, Stanford University, and University of Massachusetts Amherst uncovered a network of pedophiles that connect with each other and with sellers of explicit imagery on social media. Meta’s former Chief Security Officer and Stanford University Director Alex Stamos discusses the underage sex content on social media including Meta, as well as the ways big tech can keep teenagers safe online. Plus, Google is calling its workers back to the office, Amazon is launching a new tier to its Prime Video platform, and New York is still under a hazy cloud of Canadian forest fire smoke.
