A Reckoning for Social Media Companies

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey open the show by confronting the reality of U.S. involvement in a conflict with Iran, debating the administration’s strategy and asking listeners whether they’re concerned about potential troop deployment. They also examine growing scrutiny on social media companies after new legal losses for Meta and discuss the impact of algorithm-driven platforms on younger users. Later, Annex Wealth Management CEO Dave Spano joins for a Monday Market Preview on recession risks, the job market, and how ongoing global tensions could affect the economy. The show also touches on rising travel costs, the shift toward staycations, and a reminder to step away from politics and enjoy sports.
