Kara Swisher认为社交媒体上的虚假信息是2022年中期选举中的一个严重问题，她认为Facebook和YouTube等平台虽然采取了一些措施，但仍需做得更多。她还讨论了巴西利用法律手段打击社交媒体虚假信息，以及美国由于宪法第一修正案的限制，难以采取类似措施。她认为，利用国土安全部将虚假信息视为网络攻击，或者通过诉讼来解决问题，可能是可行的方案。 Nayeema Razak指出，社交媒体上的虚假信息已经进入主流，并且被公开重复传播。她与Kara Swisher讨论了社交媒体平台应对虚假信息的能力，以及美国可能采取的措施，例如修改第230条。

Shownotes Transcript

Kara is nervous about the elections — and she should be, control of the House and of the Senate is up for grabs, as are 36 governorships. She and Nayeema discuss the big day ahead, and specifically how social media and misinformation may sway results.

They then turn to our guest today — the man who will be sharing those results with us, at least on CNN. John King and Kara talk about how he prepares to helm the “Magic Wall” and talk millions of viewers through the red and blue board. They go beyond the horse race and inside the pressure and process for making calls at CNN. 

Stay tuned for the end of the episode when Kara answers a listener question about her spirituality and Nayeema surmises the sunglassed-one’s Holy Trinity (it’s not what you think). 

If you want Kara’s advice, call 1-888-KARA-PLZ and leave a message.
