There is no doubt that COVID-19 pandemic caused the worst economic crisis in the history of modern humanity. Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed permanently, millions are suffering and are on the edge of collapse, small business owners lost their life work, some even lost their lives, because of this. Yet, the pandemic also raised a lot of chances and opportunities for growth in the new circumstances of what is becoming a “new norm”.

Suffice to say that those defied technology and transform their businesses into the new technical atmosphere were left behind to close or suffer a lot while those who rode the new wave survived and even flourished. Yet, no good deed goes unpunished. As businesses, and governments, moved more toward technology the chances of being exposed to digital attacks rose up to the roof and created a new gigantic challenge in a world that is already tackling the biggest challenges in history.

In this episode we shed the light on all these topics and how we expect a world post COVID-19 will look like from a Digital Transformation point of view.

We are the 21st Century and while recording this episode we were in the middle of a global pandemic that affected over 10 million people around the world and the numbers were still skyrocketing. In such dire conditions we have to take our health seriously more than ever. Now with COVID-19 it is more important to eat right, exercise and keep our bodies in the best shape we can because if we lost our health then we have nothing. No wealth and no one can replace that.

To be clear, none of us are in the medical field so be cautious listening to this episode and always remember to consult your family doctor about your health.

Social Platforms Responsibility Against the Spread of Misinformation (S01 - E10)

Listen to the episode on Spotify   Watch the episode on YouTube

Listen to the episode on Google Podcasts   Listen to the episode on Apple iTunes

According to the Pew research center 62% of adults in the United States get their news from social media platforms. And, while most major media outlets have presence on social media, much more news outlets that are not legit or even regulated are their most of which spread lies, misinformation and conspiracy theories. The numbers of people who believe and share this news from those sources are staggering and rising every day.

Currently social media platforms are protected under the US law as being a provider (platform) not as a publisher which means they can decide for themselves what content should stay on their own platforms. While the pressure is getting higher and higher for those platforms to moderate the content and many of them are trying hard to make that happen, we hear politicians threatening of suing them or even shutting them down when they moderate their content.

How content moderation affects the spread of misinformation? How these companies will balance content moderation and still profit from content? And how politics plays a huge part in that? All of these questions are in the core of this episode’s topics.

Episode Topics:

  1. 00:33 Intro and the buzz about our 10th episode for this season and upcoming topics.
    https://youtu.be/Me4mkbHkqto?t=0m33s
  2. 05:15 A quick history of social platforms and how they grew up to become news sources.
    https://youtu.be/Me4mkbHkqto?t=5m15s
  3. 15:59 The rise of extremes in politics, religious beliefs, nationalism… etc. and how being on social platforms helped them spread and expand.
    https://youtu.be/Me4mkbHkqto?t=15m59s
  4. 25:48 Using social platform to spread misinformation to affect politics on ground.
    https://youtu.be/Me4mkbHkqto?t=25m48s
  5. 37:25 The effort that, finally, most platforms are putting to moderate the content and fight the spread of misinformation while pressured from politicians are rising when their content or their supporters’ content is being moderated.
    https://youtu.be/Me4mkbHkqto?t=37m25s
  6. 28:24 Closing remarks and inspiring stories.

Privacy has been in everyone’s mind for the past few years especially after news of data breaches breaking multiple times a year from huge corporates and institutions. With the COVID-19 crisis and the contact tracing apps that people are welcoming without knowing how collecting such data without regulation and transparency we believe it’s important to talk about this very essential topic.
