Facebook is considering banning all political ads ahead of the midterm elections. The company says it has hundreds of employees working on the issue, but in June there were only about 60 full-time workers dedicated to election issues. John Sutter: If Facebook doesn't devote tens of thousands of human beings to combing through this content and taking it down when it's inappropriate, then nothing will work.
Guest host Molly Wood joins Kara to discuss how social media platforms are preparing for the midterm elections, Elon Musk's Republican pajama party, and whether there's a capitalist solution to climate change. Also, an infamous ex-WeWork CEO gets a second chance... and $350 million.
