Casey Newton covers technology for The Verge and writes The Interface newsletter.\n\n\u201cI remember one time a Facebook employee told me when I wrote something critical and I said something like, \u2018Yeah, I know that one was a little harder on you.\u2019 I remember he said to me, \u2018Please understand that this helps to make the case internally for changes we want to make.\u2019 When this type of criticism get published when we know that this is the conversation, we can push for these kinds of changes on the inside. If you believe that these platforms are going to be around and that they aren\u2019t going to be shut down and all the executives put into jail, I think what you actually want is to see them get better at things.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, The Great Courses Plus, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\n\n\n\nThe Mastermind (Evan Ratliff \u2022 Random House \u2022 2019)\n\n\nCoinTalk Podcast\n\n\n@CaseyNewton\n\n\nNewton on Longform\n\n\n[1:40] The Interface\n\n\n[5:00] Newton's archive at The Verge\n\n\n[20:20] Longform Podcast #171: Adrian Chen\n\n\n[24:25] "The Trauma Floor" (The Verge \u2022 Feb 2019)\n\n\n[29:00] Sarah Frier's archive at Bloomberg\n\n\n[32:40] The Bill Simmons Podcast\n\n\n[49:00] Newton's archive at San Francisco Chronicle\nLearn more about your ad choices.
