Facebook And Online Privacy Then What Sinclair’s Fake News Promos Say About The State Of Media (Diane Rehm, On My Mind)

Facebook says the data of 87 million users may have been improperly shared with the political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica – a figure much higher than previously thought. And the company’s COO Sheryl Sandberg says she does not know if Cambridge Analytica still possesses the user data. Diane talks with online privacy advocate Marc Rotenberg about what Facebook needs to do to address online privacy.

Then, a video of Sinclair Broadcast Group news anchors delivering the exact same message about “fake news” goes viral. Who is the Sinclair Broadcast Group and why did the corporation require their anchors do this? Diane checks in NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik.
