🎙️ The Digital Collective Podcast Episode Title: Collective Corp Files: The Meta Effect Host: Jarika Moon By: Lunar Innovations

In this episode of the Digital Collective Podcast, we take a deep dive into Meta, the tech giant formerly known as Facebook, and explore what its recent moves mean for the future of technology, society, and the planet. From a $6 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing to a strategic pivot toward AI-driven growth and a pullback from the metaverse, Meta is at a crossroads.

We unpack how Meta's data-driven advertising fuels consumerism and shapes behavior, the hidden environmental costs of its sprawling digital infrastructure, and the social challenges tied to privacy, misinformation, and mental health. As Meta reshapes the digital landscape, what responsibilities do companies, users, and regulators hold to ensure technology serves people and the planet?

Tune in to understand the true cost of our digital lives and why the conversation about sustainable, ethical tech has never been more urgent.

Remember you can choose alternatives! We're excited to announce that we're officially boycotting META. It's time to shape and connect in spaces that are aligned with our values. Eventhough some of these platforms are new to us, as of right now we're happy to call them our new home bases. Check our the alternatives and see what's best for you.
