Q&A: Is social media amplifying society's most extreme voices?

from Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files

For this week's Q&A episode, Christiane and Jamie are in New York, where world leaders have gathered for the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. They take a special question from the UN's Deputy Secretary General, Amina Mohammed, about how they stay hopeful in such a divided world. Plus they answer your questions on what can be done to avoid the United States descending into autocracy, the Hyundai ICE raid, and whether recent events such as Charlie Kirk’s assassination prove that social media is amplifying the most extreme voices on the fringes of society. Have a question for a future bonus episode?
