Description


After the 2020 election, YouTube started removing election denialism content. Now, the platform is having a change of heart, saying it will leave up misinformation related to previous U.S. presidential elections. We get into the changes to YouTube’s misinformation policy and what they might mean for the 2024 campaign. Plus, Kimberly and Kai do a little show and tell. Prepare for smoke and fire!
Here’s everything we talked about today:




“YouTube reverses misinformation policy to allow U.S. election denialism” from Axios







“Inside the Meltdown at CNN” from The Atlantic







“Pride absent for many LGBTQ+ Americans inside workplaces” from Axios







“Most LGBTQ+ Workers Feel They’re Treated Fairly at Work” from SHRM







“Are we expected to tip robots now?” from Marketplace







“Apple Is Stepping Into the Metaverse. Will Anyone Care?” from The New York Times







“Don’t judge Apple’s VR headset too soon” from The Verge







“Learn how to invest — using computer games” from “Marketplace Tech”







“Apartment construction is booming, but it probably won’t last” from Marketplace







“A Florida bar for humans and man’s best friend” from Marketplace
