We initially ran this episode back in May, but that was before Frances Haugen came forward as the Facebook whistleblower.  Our guest, Columbia University sociologist Sudhir Venkatesh, worked in the same area of Facebook as Haugen (civic integrity), albeit years earlier; he also held a similar role at Twitter.    We asked him to join us on the podcast to help understand how product people can do great things without fundamentally breaking the internet.
