• How hostile entities like ISIS use social media for propaganda and recruitment • .

• Why Western governments can't, even with their relatively infinite wealth of resources, beat ragtag Somali Twitter pirates and ISIS shills • .

• How bias creates social media bubbles, what forms they take, and why this is dangerous • .

• How we can fix these issues or at least mitigate the effect they have on our lives • .

• And much more...
