Sally Kohn: The internet is much scarier and much worse for lots of other people who aren't me. "It's hard to differentiate between what is somebody just online trying to rattle you" She says she had been doxxed years before by teenagers, but now it was those harms through a mainstream news outlet being held up in the Oval Office. 'When you have 111 million Twitter followers, everything that you tweet out can mobilize some of those same scary things'
Elon Musk's Twitter is a spectacle, and the drama and meaning of the last six months is perhaps best unpacked by Yoel Roth. The company’s former head of trust and safety survived the early flood of firings and resignations — in fact, he was ascendant, in the early days of this new Twitter, and he became the face Musk presented to advertisers. Kara asks Roth whether he felt “used” by Musk and why — having been embraced by Elon’s inner circle — he ultimately decided to abandon Elon.
Before the interview, Kara and Nayeema weigh in on Elon Musk’s seeming needling of Tim Cook, and they discuss whether Apple has too much power. Stay tuned until the end for Kara’s rant on this very topic.
