Fake News & me

In this episode, Tim Verheyden investigates exactly how the chaos machine works and what its dangers are. Who or what is behind this? Are we all potential victims? What does it do to us and what is at stake? For this he talks to experts, with people who have worked for large social media companies, but also with people who have been involved in conspiracy theories or disinformation for a while. All this to expose the mechanisms behind fake news.

In the second episode, Tim Verheyden wants to investigate whether disinformation can be combated, and if so: how and by whom? Frances Haugen, who worked at Facebook for years, puts it sharply: Mark Zuckerberg has to go. The whistleblower continues her fight tirelessly, including in Europe, because that's where it happens. A unique law is being made in Brussels to protect Europe against foreign interference. To put it in the words of European parliamentarian Bart Groothuis: "It's about time that Elon Musk realized that Brussels sets rules".
