Sander versus the socials - Season 1 Episode 2 Waar is de waarheid?
The truth on social media is missing and those who fight for the truth are in real danger. Such as journalist Willem Groeneveld, to whom Molotov cocktails are thrown in the mailbox by conspiracy theorists. How can a democracy function without truth? Sander talks to Bas van Sluijs, among others, with whom he ended up in an unnecessary online argument. He also speaks to Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen about how the algorithm sacrifices the truth for profit. Meanwhile, in Berlin, social media moderators are standing up against their appalling working conditions.
