How will tech tackle the tsunami of elections in 2024

Impossible Tradeoffs with Katie Harbath

This week, my guest host is Crystal Patterson. She was on my team at Facebook for seven years and now is President of the Washington Media Group. She joins me to answer the hard questions such as if you could only order one of these would you choose french fries or ice cream? We also get into last week’s Congressional gathering on AI with tech executives and how companies will be preparing for the 2024 elections

Then I chatted with Rebecca Thein. Becca worked at Twitter in the pre-Musk times in trust and safety, focusing a lot on elections. We look at:

* Why 2024 is such a special election year

* Where the tech companies are today vis-a-vis elections

* Her background and work at Twitter

* The types of issues organizations have to be worried about

* How teams prioritize what they work on

* How companies can help people to vote

* The Facebook 2020 research on the platform’s impact on elections

* What she’s watching over the next 16 months
