    I Was 11 When Instagram Took Over My Life

    Taylor Little was 11 years old when they lied about their age to sign up for Instagram. Now, 13 years later, they’re one of thousands of people suing the company, accusing Instagram of purposely addicting them as a child and driving them to years of mental health struggles.  Taylor takes Brian inside their dark and twisted experience with the app. They say it all started with a suggestion Instagram sent them to visit an account they didn’t follow, which they developed a morbid fascination with. Who bears responsibility for what happened to Taylor? Is it Instagram? The users who posted the content that consumed them? Their mom?  Today’s show deals with issues of self harm and suicide. If you or someone you know are struggling with these issues, call the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.  Question Everything is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.

  2. Meta Knew They Were Addicting Kids. Now They’re Paying for It.

    Meta Knew They Were Addicting Kids. Now They’re Paying for It.

    In the span of two days, juries handed down landmark verdicts against Meta and Google. In New Mexico, a jury ordered Meta to pay the state $375 million for failing to protect young people from predators on Instagram. And in Los Angeles, a jury found that Meta and Google knowingly designed social media platforms that addicted a young girl, causing depression, body dysmorphia, and self-harm.  But as listeners to this show might wonder – isn't suing social media companies supposed to be impossible, because of Section 230? Brian talks to co-lead counsel in LA, Mariana McConnell, about how they pulled off the win, what this huge verdict means for the internet, and the internal Meta document that said, “Young ones are the best ones.”  Question Everything is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.

    A Video So Real It Looks Fake

    Brian sits down with expert fact-checker Sofia Rubinson who spends hours every day tracking lies online, and together they dissect a single lie that’s been rocketing around the world to millions of people, affecting the way people think about the war in Iran — including the world’s biggest podcaster.  Sofia says the AI deepfakes she’s seen consume the internet in just the last few weeks make her worried that we’ve entered a dangerous new phase of disinformation.  Watch the video of Benjamin Netanyahu featured in this episode, which NewsGuard confirmed to be real.

    Are We Captured Yet? Now Trump’s Pals Are Taking Over CNN

    News recently broke that Paramount, which is newly controlled by David Ellison and his billionaire dad Larry Ellison, won the bid to buy Warner-Brothers Discovery, after aggressively squeezing out Netflix.  As Trump himself has said, the Ellisons are “friends of mine…big supporters of mine, and they’ll do the right thing.” Is the “right thing” squashing critical coverage of the president? Doing stories he’s more inclined to like? The Ellisons already own CBS News, through Paramount; now they’re about to own CNN. Larry Ellison also has a new ownership stake in TikTok, via a deal anointed by Trump. Is this what experts call “media capture?” Is the U.S. in it, right now?  In this conversation we first ran in October 2025, after the Ellisons took control of Paramount, foreign correspondent Natalia Antelava explains the insidious implications of media capture from her experience living and reporting in captured countries around the world.  “Question Everything” is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.

    A Reporter Fights for His Freedom (Part Two)

    After journalist Mario Guevara was arrested while covering an anti-ICE protest, ICE moved him into their detention. As his lawyers and the ACLU tried to get Mario free, ICE argued again and again that he shouldn’t be let out, because his journalism made him too dangerous.  Mario was behind bars for 111 days. Then deported to El Salvador. If you’re wondering where the hell the first amendment is in all this, so are we!  In the second episode in our special two-part series about Mario Guevara, we look into how the federal government targeted and detained a reporter, and ultimately fast-tracked his deportation–his first amendment rights be damned. Please take 5 minutes to fill out this survey about Question Everything – it’ll help us know who’s listening and what you want from us!
