On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his take on the growing calls for Facebook to stop running false political ads—and what it would mean for Facebook to sort through facts.
"I don't want Mark Zuckerberg deciding what speech is legitimate in America," Fareed says. "I want the government to set parameters for him and other technology companies as to their obligations for what they increasingly are: large news platforms."
Given the gray area of facts in political arguments, it may be better to require equal exposure for opposing views or to ban microtargeting, for instance. Some Americans "want Facebook to regulate American democracy," Fareed says. "What we need is the opposite: American democracy should regulate Facebook."
Next, Financial Times Global Business Columnist and CNN Global Economic Analyst Rana Foroohar, author and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Niall Ferguson, and Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass discuss the complexities of regulating tech giants, the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, the chances of progress in America's trade dispute with China, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's steps toward a 2020 candidacy, and more.
Our What in the World segment examines global kleptocracy and how public officials can be kept honest; The New York Times' Nate Cohn then breaks down 2020 election polling—and tells us why anyone should trust polls, anyway, after their failure to predict Trump's win in 2016.
After that, Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Constanze Stelzenmüller looks back on the fall of the Berlin Wall 30 years ago and examines the legacy of divided Germany today.
Finally, does working less make us more productive? Fareed looks at Microsoft's experiment in one country and evidence from around the world. | |
