At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Apple Cider Vinegar yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .…

Alex and Evelyn sit down with New York Times technology reporters Ryan Mac and Kate Conger to talk about their new book on Elon Musk's acquisition (and destruction) of Twitter, Character Limit, and where they think Musk goes from here.
Alex and Evelyn repeat the now-annual tradition of recording the podcast in front of probably their entire active listener base. They are joined by David Thiel, Brian Fishman, and Daphne Keller, to say goodbye to Theirry Breton and RT's accounts on Meta, talk about Zuckerberg's retreat from politics, and all the developments in the land of the First Amendment and platform regulation.…
Alex and Evelyn are joined by Carlos Affonso Souza, a Professor of Law at Rio de Janeiro State University and the Director of the Institute for Technology & Society in Rio de Janeiro, to talk about Brazil's ban of X, the local legal and political context, and how this is similar or different to other show downs between regulators and American tech platforms.…

Evelyn sat down with Professor Genevieve Lakier, of the University of Chicago Law School, to discuss the Supreme Court's decision regarding the Texas and Florida social media laws. Not the worst opinion the Supreme Court issued on July 1, but predictably there's a lot to complain about anyway.

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments: The attention grabbing 404 Media headline “ Has Facebook Stopped Trying? ” could be on to something. Alex discusses significant disinvestment in trust and safety at Facebook with lots of junk spreading (such as AI-generated Shrimp Jesus ) and a sextortion challenge. - Jason Koebler/ 404 Media YouTube announced it is testing a feature for users to add notes under videos with context or fact checks. - YouTube The U.S. military ran a covert anti-vaccine influence operation on social media intended to discredit China’s COVID vaccine in the Philippines. - Chris Bing, Joel Schectman. Reuters U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called for a warning label on social media platforms in a New York Times opinion essay. - Vivek Murthy/ The New York Times , “The Daily” , Erin Burnett/ CNN Not everyone agrees with his recommendation (not to mention the First Amendment or existing evidence). - Clay Calvert/ AEI , Deidre McPhillips/ CNN , J. Nathan Matias, Janet Haven/ Tech Policy Press , Mike Masnick/ The Daily Beast , Caroline Mimbs Nyce/ The Atlantic They reference this report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine - National Academies And this one pager New York state lawmakers passed and Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law the Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) for Kids Act prohibiting social media companies from using “addictive” algorithmic feeds for minors under 18 without parental consent. - Anthony Izaguirre/ Associated Press , Carolyn Thompson/ Associated Press , Mark Wilson/ Fast Company , Kat Tenbarge/ NBC News , Austin Jenkins/ Pluribus News , Anthony Ha/ TechCrunch , Common Sense Media , Governor of New York Negotiations at the end of the state legislative session on June 6 limited a restriction on overnight notifications and removed the right to take private legal action against social media companies for alleged violations. Tech trade associations oppose the legislation arguing it is unconstitutional with free speech restrictions that make children less safe with less curation of social media feeds. - Chamber of Progress , NetChoice Join the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos .

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments: OpenAI published its first transparency report on covert influence operations using the company’s AI models finding the tools were used for existing campaigns by Russia, China, Iran and Israel with limited reach. - Ina Fried/ Axios , OpenAI In very related news, Meta announced it removed foreign influence operations using AI-generated content. - Aisha Counts/ Bloomberg News , Margarita Franklin, Lindsay Hundley, Mike Torrey, David Agranovich, Mike Dvilyanski/ Meta Meta claims it is still able to detect influence operations using AI-generated content, but recent Stanford Internet Observatory research found such content is being widely used for spam that generates engagement with surreal or emotional content. Both Meta and OpenAI point fingers at Israeli actors for using generative AI in influence operations and Meta claimed a victory in stopping the infamous Russian Doppelganger operation. California legislators are considering dozens of bills with AI regulations. One of the most prominent and controversial is SB 1047 , the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act. - Jeremy B. White/ Politico What it Would Do: The bill would create sweeping AI safety regulations against “hazardous capabilities” and a Frontier Model Division of California Department of Technology to set those new rules for the most powerful AI models, including a “kill switch.” The bill also includes CalCompute, a public cloud computing cluster for AI safety research. The Politics: The bill was introduced by State Senator Scott Wiener, an ambitious Democrat seeking to succeed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. While state lawmakers have introduced many ambitious AI safety regulations, Governor Gavin Newsom is urging a focus on innovation to protect the state’s tech industry. - Jeremy B. White/ Politico TikTok Tick-Tock TikTok is funding a lawsuit brought by a diverse group of eight creators against the federal government’s divest-or-ban measure. The new suit was combined with the lawsuit brought by TikTok and parent company ByteDance with an expedited schedule to hear the case in September. - Josephine Rozzelle/ CNBC , David Shepardson/ Reuters , Julia Shapero/ The Hill , Taylor Lorenz, Drew Harwell/ The Washington Post The creators include a cattle rancher, cookie baker, feminist activist, college football coach and a rapping conservative commentator. Their challenge focuses on First Amendment free speech rights. The tech trade association NetChoice booted TikTok earlier in May following pushback from Congressional offices that warned of an investigation into organizations tied to TikTok. - Daniel Lippman, Brendan Bordelon/ Politico In a possible preview of what to expect in Murthy v. Missouri , the Supreme Court released a unanimous decision in NRA v. Vullo that found a New York state official likely violated the free speech rights of the National Rifle Association by pressuring banks and insurers to cut ties with the organization after the Parkland high school shooting. - Justin Jouvenal/ The Washington Post Down Under An Australian court rejected an eSafety Commissioner global removal order for X to hide content with video of a stabbing attack at a Sydney church. eSafety has since dropped the case against X. - Jake Evans, Jordyn Butler/ ABC News (Australia) , Rod McGuirk/ Associated Press , Tanvi Nair/ Australian Institute of International Affairs , Sumathi Bala/ CNBC , Josh Taylor/ The Guardian The court ruling acknowledged that the order would likely “be ignored or disparaged in other countries.” Join the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos .

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments: TikTok Tick-Tock A law requiring TikTok parent company ByteDance to divest or face a U.S. ban was passed and signed into law as part of a foreign aid and national security funding package. - Casey Newton/ Platformer , Rebecca Kern/ Politico , Mike Scarcella/ Reuters , John Perrino/ Tech Policy Press , Sapna Maheshwari, David McCabe / The New York Times , Drew Harwell/ The Washington Post , Cristiano Lima-Strong/ The Washington Post , @TikTokPolicy Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz (EU Policy Corner) The European Commission opened formal proceedings against Meta on potential DSA violations including the “deprecation and planned discontinuation of CrowdTangle” happening “without an adequate replacement” ahead of the European elections. - Jon Brodkin/ Ars Technica , Clothilde Goujard/ Politico , Clothilde Goujard, Aoife White/ Politico , Natasha Lomas/ TechCrunch , Lisa O'Carroll/ The Guardian , Adam Satariano/ The New York Times , European Commission , Mathias Vermeulen (@mathver) The probe will also investigate how foreign influence operations are spreading on Facebook and Instagram, how Meta is handling political advertising and content recommendations and issues with flagging and removing illegal content. Meta’s Threads announced it wouldn’t recommend political commentary earlier this year and recent research found the pro-Kremlin Doppelganger network is buying Facebook ads ahead of the EU election. - Clothilde Goujard/ Politico , Taylor Lorenz, Naomi Nix/ The Washington Post The REPORT Act was signed into law by President Biden on May 7 after passing both chambers of Congress on April 29. The law makes common sense updates to the nation's online child abuse reporting system and expands reporting requirements to include instances of child grooming and trafficking. - Dave Williams/ Capitol Beat , Julie Tsirkin/ NBC News , Lauren Forristal/ TechCrunch , Amanda Silberling/ TechCrunch , Kate Klonick, Margo Williams/ The Klonickles , The White House , @HouseFloor , Office of Congresswoman Laurel Lee , Office of Senator Jon Ossoff , Office of Senator Marsha Blackburn Georgia lawmakers passed the Protecting Georgia's Children on Social Media Act of 2024, SB 351 , requiring age verification and parental consent for teens under 16 to create social media accounts. The bill also updates school education requirements to cover online safety. - Brenna Goth/ Bloomberg Law , FOX 5 Atlanta Legal Corner SCOTUS denied an application for a stay of the Texas age verification law for adult sites. The cert petition is still pending and they didn’t give a reason, but it’s still kind of amazing given the precedent is so firmly against them and you’d normally expect a stay when First Amendment rights are threatened. - Andrew Chung/ Reuters , Adam Liptak/ The New York Times , Free Speech Coalition Sports Corner Alex said he is “excited” to root for the New York Knicks in the NBA playoffs with his Sacramento Kings failing to make the playoffs. If only there was more New York sports coverage. - Chris Herring/ ESPN Despite calling New York sports fans “the worst,” his show notes writer says there is still time to be a bandwagon Jalen Brunson fan.

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments: Is the deepfake apocalypse finally here? Alex and Evelyn discuss the recent robocalls impersonating President Biden ahead of the New Hampshire primary and sexually explicit fake images of Taylor Swift that spread on X , resulting in the platform blocking searches for one of the most famous people in the world. Let’s Get Meta Meta will start labeling AI-generated images on Facebook, Instagram and Threads. The company is working with other technology and media companies to develop standards for identifying and labeling AI generated content, but will that be effective? In other democracy saving announcements by Meta, Threads will not “proactively recommend political content from accounts you don't follow.” Good thing they disclose what political content means… oh wait. Also in full transparency, Meta removed the Facebook and Instagram accounts of Iran’s Supreme Leader , Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with little explanation of the decision which comes months after the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel. X/Twitter Corner Meanwhile, X is selling checkmarks to terrorists and failing to remove Chinese influence operations . In Full Transparency TikTok is restricting searches in its Creative Center tool , used to track hashtag trends and popularity. The change comes after the tool was used to scrutinize content related to the Israel-Hamas war. The data was never that great, but this is a loss for everyone. Don’t worry, the Digital Service Act comes into full force this weekend with transparency requirements, and it’s definitely fully sorted out without legal challenges and with EU country regulators ready to enforce . Legal Corner A federal judge blocked an Ohio law requiring parental consent law from going into effect shortly after technology trade association NetChoice filed a challenge. The Kids Online Safety Act was updated and now has a filibuster-proof majority of 62 co-sponsors. The bill could pass the Senate this year, but still faces long odds in the House where there is dysfunction and no companion legislation. Fewer legislation gets passed in an election year, and opponents say the updates amount only to a new coat of paint with the same structural issues in potential violation of the First Amendment.

Such communication has been stalled since july. - Naomi Nix and Cat Zakrzewski / The Washington Post As Meta detailed in its quarterly adversarial threat report, though, this is not because such interference has stopped. - Meta A district court issued a preliminary injunction preventing Montana’s state-wide ban from going into effect in the new year. - Sapna Maheshwari / New York Times ; US District Court Doritos has had the most important AI breakthrough of the year, with its crunch-cancellation software for gamers who like to snack. - Sydney Page / The Washington Post Join the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos .

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments: In one of the most surprising (and rapidly developing) tech stories of the year, Sam Altman was ousted as CEO of OpenAI. The reasons are still unclear, and the story still changing as we were recording. But at least partially the story is about AI safety, and what it means to pursue responsible development of AI - Karen Hao and Charlie Warzel / The Atlantic Meta is advocating for online safety legislation that requires parental approval for children under 16 to download apps, shifting the burden to app stores for age verification and parental controls. - Sarah Perez/ TechCrunch , Cristiano Lima, Naomi Nix/ The Washington Post , Antigone Davis/ Meta Meta announced it is opening up its Content Library and API more broadly - Nick Clegg / Meta Everything is content moderation, and India is the most important jurisdiction for the future of online free speech, streaming platform edition, with Netflix and Amazon Prime self-censoring the content they serve in the country - Gerry Shih and Anant Gupt / The Washington Post Osama bin Laden’s Letter to America on TikTok didn’t seem to go viral until the media drew attention to them. Would be nice to know for sure though! - Drew Harwell and Victoria Bisset / The Washington Post , Scott Nover / Slate Musk launches a ridiculous lawsuit against Media Matters for reporting that Musk doesn’t like but admits is true. That’s not surprising at this point. But more surprising, and scary, is the State AGs who are willing to go along with it and have announced their own investigations. - Adi Robertson / The Verge Join the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos .

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments: Alex participated in the fifth Senate AI Insight Forum focused on AI and its impact on elections and democracy. It turns out politicians can be reasonable and bipartisan when the cameras are off. - Oma Seddiq/ Bloomberg Law , Gabby Miller/ Tech Policy Press , Cristiano Lima/ The Washington Post , Christopher Hutton/ Washington Examiner , Office of Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Label Your AI Meta will require political advertisers to disclose if content has been digitally altered to make content potentially misleading. - Aisha Counts/ Bloomberg News , Katie Paul/ Reuters , Will Henshall/ Time , Facebook Meta will also let political ads on Facebook and Instagram question the legitimacy of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. - Salvador Rodriguez/ The Wall Street Journal Microsoft announced a free tool for politicians and campaigns to authenticate media with watermark credentials. - Margi Murphy/ Bloomberg News , Brad Smith/ Microsoft YouTube will require creators to disclose realistic AI-generated content with new labels. Users can also request to remove manipulated video “that simulates an identifiable individual, including their face or voice.” - Olafimihan Oshin/ The Hill , Jennifer Flannery O'Connor, Emily Moxley/ YouTube TikTok Tick Tock There’s been a burst of new calls to ban TikTok over allegations that it is boosting anti-Israel and pro-Hamas content. - Alexander Bolton/ The Hill , Cecilia Kang, Sapna Maheshwari/ The New York Times TikTok denies these allegations and faults inaccurate news reporting. - TikTok Verified transparency about this would be good, but there’s no real evidence for the claim. There may be a conflation of “pro-Palestinian” and “pro-Hamas” content. Many people have pro-Palestinian views, especially TikTok’s young userbase. It also turns out that other platforms have similarly prevalent content. - Drew Harwell/ The Washington Post The renewed calls for TikTok to be banned because of content on it that lawmakers don’t like gives the lie to the argument that calls for a ban are not about speech, which is... a First Amendment problem. Nepal, however, doesn’t have a First Amendment so it banned TikTok citing disruption to “social harmony” including “family structures” and “social relations” - Niha Masih, Sangam Prasai/ The Washington Post A Trip to India Nothing massively new here, but worth highlighting this WaPo report: “For years, a committee of executives from U.S. technology companies and Indian officials convened every two weeks in a government office to negotiate what could — and could not — be said on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.” - Karishma Mehrotra, Joseph Menn/ The Washington Post Meanwhile, Apple has been notifying opposition politicians in India that they are “being targeted by state-sponsored attackers.” - Meryl Sebastian/ BBC News Transparency Please The first batch of DSA transparency reports have been submitted and Tech Policy Press is tracking. - Gabby Miller/ Tech Policy Press The unsurprising news is that X is devoting far fewer resources to content moderation than its peers. Shocker! - Foo Yun Chee, Supantha Mukherjee/ Reuters “X's 2,294 EU content moderators compared with 16,974 at Google's YouTube, 7,319 at Google Play and 6,125 at TikTok.” Legal Corner The Supreme Court struggled with two cases about when public officials can block critics online. Much of the debate came down to whether there is a difference between personal and official social media accounts. - Josh Gerstein/ Politico Pro , John Kruzel, Andrew Chung/ Reuters , Ian Millhiser/ Vox , Ann E. Marimow/ The Washington Post Overall, the Court sounded sympathetic to the claim that they shouldn’t be able to block people whenever they please, but much less clear on what the test should be.

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments: President Joe Biden signed an Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence today. The sweeping EO includes standards setting for generative AI watermarking and red teaming. It will also set rules to mitigate privacy and bias risks before AI systems can be used by federal officials. - Maria Curi, Ashley Gold/ Axios , Mohar Chatterjee, Rebecca Kern/ Politico , Mohar Chatterjee/ Politico , John D. McKinnon, Sabrina Siddiqui, Dustin Volz/ The Wall Street Journal , Cat Zakrzewski, Cristiano Lima/ The Washington Post The EO is a good step forward, but the measures are limited in power without congressional action. App store rules are restricting access to some Hamas-affiliated channels on Telegram where content moderation action is rare, allowing terrorist organizations to share messaging. The restrictions are inconsistent, with some channels only blocked on the Google Play store app in some cases. - Clare Duffy, Brian Fung/ CNN , Kevin Collier/ NBC News , Wes Davis/ The Verge It’s another reminder of the power of content moderation rules in the stack — at the infrastructure or distributor level, like app stores. X-Twitter Corner It’s been one year since Elon Musk flipped the bird (and struggled to carry a sink into Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters). Our original episode on this, “ Musk Flips the Bird ,” held up pretty well — especially the prediction that this would be very good news for Mark Zuckerberg. Legal Corner It’s not all good news for Zuck though. The state attorneys general of 41 states and D.C. sued Meta, alleging Instagram and Facebook harm kids with addictive features and privacy violations. - Barbara Ortutay/ Associated Press , Lauren Feiner/ CNBC , Rebecca Kern/ Politico , Cecilia Kang, Natasha Singer/ The New York Times , Cristiano Lima, Naomi Nix/ The Washington Post , Daphne Keller/ @daphnehk This is a relatively novel legal argument, and it appears to be an uphill battle to sue for design harms and not content. Still, the alleged privacy violations could hold up and the political posturing alone may prove to be a winner in the multi-pronged legal, policy, and regulatory battle. The king got involved and we can’t ignore the UK Online Safety Bill Act anymore. The legislation received royal assent, becoming law last week. - Imran Rahman-Jones, Chris Vallance/ BBC News , Jon Porter/ The Verge , Peter Guest/ Wired Alex and Stanford Internet Observatory graduate researcher Sara Shah published a guide on trust and safety issues in the Fediverse with tips for running a Mastodon instance.

Stanford’s Evelyn Douek and Alex Stamos weigh in on the latest online trust and safety news and developments: Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of venture capitalism firm Andreessen Horowitz and the Netscape web browser, wrote a lengthy blog post with an ode to technology. He also manages to declare trust and safety “the enemy” in the rambling screed of more than 5,000 words. - Dan Primack/ Axios , Marc Andreessen/ Andreessen Horowitz Have you “properly glorified” technology today? Moderating the War Meta got a headline you never want in 404 Media: “Instagram ‘Sincerely Apologizes’ For Inserting ‘Terrorist’ Into Palestinian Bio Translations.” - Samantha Cole/ 404 Media But don’t worry, Meta said it is “sorry” for “inappropriate Arabic translations.” - Liv McMahon, Joe Tidy/ BBC News The Wall Street Journal had a big story on the tensions and challenges within Meta over moderation of speech in Palestinian territories. - Sam Schechner, Jeff Horwitz, Newley Purnell/ The Wall Street Journal The jawboning continues: The European Commission issued formal requests for information to Meta and TikTok about how the social media companies are removing illegal content and curbing disinformation during the Israel-Hamas war to comply with the Digital Services Act. - Kelvin Chan/ Associated Press , Clothilde Goujard/ Politico , Charlotte Van Campenhout, Bart H. Meijer/ Reuters , Natasha Lomas/ TechCrunch , Emma Roth/ The Verge Dozens of civil society organizations sent a letter to European Commissioner Thierry Breton alleging a misunderstanding of key components of the Digital Services Act (DSA) in letters sent to major social media companies about how they are handing information related to the Israel-Hamas war. - Clothilde Goujard/ Politico Pro Legal Corner Speaking of jawboning, the Supreme Court will hear a jawboning case out of the Fifth Circuit which ruled that a broad swath of the Biden administration violated the First Amendment in their engagement with social media platforms. - Lawrence Hurley/ NBC News , Julia Shapero/ The Hill , Adam Liptake/ The New York Times , Supreme Court (.pdf) Go deeper with our previous discussions on this case with University of Chicago Law professor Genevieve Lakier: “ The 5th Circuit's Jawboning Ruling ” “ Government, Platform Communication, Jawboning, and the First Amendment ” Threads is still working out what it wants to be and says suppression of search terms on controversial news topics. - Sarah Perez/ TechCrunch Join the conversation and connect with Evelyn and Alex on Twitter at @evelyndouek and @alexstamos .
