Hi GG

In preparation for the Talk to Facebook moderated session here's some food for thought.

In a nutshell.

Despite what Mark Zuckerberg says, Facebook shapes our world.

Mark Zuckerberg is the world’s most powerful unelected person, and it drives me bonkers when he misrepresents what’s happening on Facebook.

In an interview that aired on Tuesday, Zuckerberg was asked big and thorny questions about his company: Why are people sometimes cruel to one another on Facebook, and why do inflammatory, partisan posts get so much attention?

Zuckerberg told “Axios on HBO” that Americans are angry and divided right now, and that’s why they act that way on Facebook, too.

No, Facebook does not reflect reality

Good morning Listers

I hope you are all keeping well.

We are proposing to bring the 'Talk to series' back in light of some of the issues that have been highlighted on the list. We will have moderated debates and in observing covid rules, the sharing of the reports and engagement with Partners will be conducted via webinars.

1. The first one will be 'Talk to Facebook', which will be moderated next week by Walubengo and Teacher Karis. They will provide us with more details and when the exact days for the engagement. This will be followed by a webinar on September 30, 2020 from 15.30-1700 hours.

2. The second one will be with Safaricom in October. More details including the exact dates will be provided here. But keep the questions coming as they are being noted.

Thank you Listers and have a great Thursday.

Warmly
GG
