The TikTok ban, Zuck’s lost soul and Nintendo’s Switch 2 reveal
So it looks like the TikTok ban could actually come into effect, barring a last-minute Supreme Court decision. In this episode, senior writer Karissa Bell joins Devindra and Ben to discuss TikTok’s possible finale in America and why some users are seeking refuge in RedNote, a Chinese Instagram clone. They also explore the question of why Meta does without external fact-checkers and how this is connected to Mark Zuckerberg’s descent into the right-wing world. Finally, we examine the details of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal.
Stay tuned until the end of this episode for Devindra’s conversation with Severance creator Dan Erickson about the second season of his hit series.
