Meta’s Moneyshot & How Tech Enabled “The Tinder Swindler” with Felina Tan, Jen Campbell & Ben Wiggins #14

Whether it’s social media, dating apps, podcasting platforms or the world stage of the Winter Olympics, the world is progressing ever closer to a tech revolution.

We’ve seen the very nature of Facebook change over its 18 year lifespan, the emergence of new ways to find love, & watched podcasts take the world by storm - and there’s no going back.

In this episode of Disconnected we’re breaking down the recent Meta stock price plummet (and how it’ll bounce right back), Spotify’s responsibility for content on its platform, particularly with recent controversies around Joe Rogan’s podcast, and how technology both enabled The Tinder Swindler and broadcast his demise.

This episode of Disconnected covers:

• Meta’s stock price plummet & their all-out bet on the Metaverse
• Spotify’s Joe Rogan controversy, and their responsibility to curate content
• The Winter Olympics’ sponsorship woes & brand boycotts
