As the Wall St Journal reports that Facebook knew Instagram was making girls unhappy but did nothing, Vicki and Geraldine talk to Charles Arthur, tech journalist and author of Social Warming, a comprehensive history and analysis of why our relationship with social media is so often dysfunctional.

Talking points:

Is social media making most young people feel like losers?

’Trans women are women’, ‘abortion at 8 weeks is murder’, we need critical race theory’ - why are these scissor statements?

When is free speech really closing-down speech?
