0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Tristan, and this is a bonus episode of your undivided
0:04.6	attention, the podcast from the Center for Humane Technology. As you may have
0:08.5	heard, last week the Wall Street Journal released the Facebook files, a huge
0:12.8	investigation of the extent to which Facebook's problems are known inside the
0:16.5	company, all the way up to Mark Zuckerberg. To respond to the story, I was invited

1:04.6	Friday's with Frank. There was more appropriate and more timely because of all
1:10.1	that has happened in the last seven days. Fuston Harris, congratulations on

1:20.0	actually a multiple Emmy award winner. Good for you. You should feel very proud.
1:24.7	Thank you. And you're already getting a comment from one of the people who is
1:30.1	listening in. And Daniel, what you're trying to achieve with a more
1:36.4	constructive, more open, a more useful dialogue and the teaching of
