With Great Power Comes... No Responsibility? — with Yaёl Eisenstat

Aza sits down with Yael Eisenstat, a former CIA officer and a
former advisor at the White House. When Yael noticed that
Americans were having a harder and harder time finding common
ground, she shifted her work from counter-extremism abroad to
advising technology companies in the U.S. She believed as danger
at home increased, her public sector experience could help fill a
gap in Silicon Valley’s talent pool and chip away at the ways
tech was contributing to polarization and election hacking. But
when she joined Facebook in June 2018, things didn’t go as
planned. Yael shares the lessons she learned and her perspective
on government’s role in regulating tech, and Aza and Tristan
raise questions about our relationships with these companies and
the balance of power.
