Matt is joined by Makena Kelly of The Verge to talk about some recent stories
at the intersection of policy and tech. She discusses the Facebook Oversight
Board's ambivalent "ruling" on Trump's ban from the platform, Apple's ongoing
antitrust court battles, and the prospect for a sweeping antitrust overhaul
foreshadowed by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI). Resources: "Facebook's Trump ban
