Summary

When it comes to social media risk, there is reason to hope for consensus. Center for Humane Technology co-founder Tristan Harris recently helped launch a new initiative called the Council for Responsible Social Media (CRSM) in Washington, D.C. During this event, Tristan sat down with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, a friend of Center for Humane Technology, to discuss the harm caused to our mental health and global democracy when platforms lack accountability and transparency. The CRSM is bipartisan, and its kickoff serves to boost the solutions Frances and Tristan identify going into 2023.

0:59.7	That's former congressman and house majority leader Dick Gephardt, who served in the US
1:04.4	Congress for 28 years.
1:06.4	And he's referring to a time just two decades ago that seems so far away now with how
1:11.6	hard it is to imagine American elected officials seeing eye to eye.
