Karen Scott: Consumer Reports has been around for 86 years and we've seen the whole gamut of how the marketplace shifts. She says part of her ambition when she came to CR was really what are the harms in that digital world. And so how do we raise our voices as consumers? How do we document the truth, Ms. Scott asks.
Kara and Scott discuss the impacts of a Texas social media law, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s bill to protect children’s data. Also, Adobe acquired Figma. Plus, a mega stock crash at Meta, a bizarre harassment case for eBay, and Russian troll’s impact on the Women’s March. Friend of Pivot, Marta Tellado, stops by to talk about her new book, “Buyer Aware: Harnessing Our Consumer Power for a Safe, Fair, and Transparent Marketplace.”
