- In How a handful of tech companies control billions of minds every day, Tristan Harris describes how people steer thoughts through Facebook notifications, Snapstreaks, and YouTube autoplays.
- Christiane Amanpour, in How to seek truth in the era of fake news, chats with TED Curator Chris Anderson about fake news and objectivity in journalism.
- Wael Ghonim reveals how he helped initiate Egypt’s Arab Spring by setting up a simple Facebook page.
