TikTok ban, Zuck’s lost soul, and Nintendo’s Switch 2 revealed

So it looks like a TikTok ban might actually happen, barring a last-minute Supreme Court decision. In this episode, senior writer Carissa Bell joins Devendra and Ben to discuss the potential end of TikTok in America, as well as why some users are seeking refuge in RedNote, a Chinese version of Instagram. They also delve into why Meta is abandoning third-party fact-checkers, and how that relates to Mark Zuckerberg’s descent into the right-wing world. Finally, we explore tidbits of information from the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal.

Stay tuned at the end of this episode for Devindra to chat with Dan Erickson, creator of Severance, about the second season of his hit show.
