In this episode, we dive into the origins and impact of social media with one of its OGs, Evan-Henshaw Plath, better known as Rabble.

Rabble is one of the original minds behind X, then known as Twitter. We explore his serendipitous journey from Odeo to Twitter, candidly address both the overwhelming net good and unintended consequences of social media, and weigh the impact of disinformation and societal division on democracy and participation. We also tackle the complexities of content moderation, privacy, and the challenges of fostering healthy online communities. This episode offers a nuanced perspective on the tech world, blending personal anecdotes with deep insights into the ever-evolving relationship between technology, society, and ethics.
