Published: Oct. 6, 2021, 8:15 p.m.

In seven years of working on the problems of runaway technology, we\u2019ve never experienced a week like this! In this bonus episode of Your Undivided Attention, we recap this whirlwind of a week \u2014 from Facebook whistleblower France Haugen going public on 60 Minutes on Sunday, to the massive outage of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp on Monday, to Haugen\u2019s riveting Congressional testimony on Tuesday. We also make some exciting announcements \u2014 including our planned episode with Haugen up next, the Yale social media reform panel we\u2019re participating in on Thursday, and a campaign we\u2019re launching to pressure Facebook to make one immediate change. \n\nThis week it truly feels like we\u2019re making history \u2014 and you\u2019re a part of it.
