Show Notes
As Musk and Zuckerberg vie to enshittify Twitter and Facebook, is the Right’s victory over social media final? Is there something intrinsic to social media that drives its users rightwards (and crazy)? Does Zuckerberg believe in anything at all? Expert in digital politics and radicalisation Alan Finlayson joins us to look at the abasement of Big Tech before Trumpism. Plus: Has Starmer drunk the A.I. Kool-Aid or is it really the key to Britain’s growth conundrum? And in the Extra Bit, why saying “not a good look” is not a good look.
