First hour: Is Big Tech too big?
Second hour: How Title VII issues impact the LGBTQ community
Buzzfeed's Ben Smith, among other writers, are saying that Big Tech is in trouble. He says Facebook and Google are too big, too powerful, too complacent -- and soon, both consumers and Congress will come for them. Is he right? Is Facebook primed for a fall? We'll discuss a future in which Facebook falls, Google shrinks, and everyone posts fewer status updates. Our guests:
- Scott Malouf, attorney whose work focuses on the intersection between social media and the law
- Mike Johansson, lecturer at RIT and social media consultant with Fixitology
Then in our second hour, the Trump administration has argued that laws covering bias at work do not include or cover LGBTQ issues. This is, to say the least, perceived as a significant threat in the LGBTQ community. We'll focus on what the law does and does not do, and then we'll talk about LGBTQ history in Rochester. Guests:
- Rowan Collins, educator with the Out Alliance
- Bob Crystal, founder of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley, now known as the Out Alliance
- Matt Haag, member of Rochester City Council
