The U.S. v. Google, Elon's Secrets Revealed, and Why Trolls Got Nastier

Kaitlyn Tiffany, Atlantic reporter and author of Everything I Need I Get from You, joins Offline to break down internet trolls. She and Jon unpack who these people are, and examine why the online trend of celebrating the misfortunes of strangers – including their deaths – is still very much alive. They talk about how trolls from across the political spectrum see their victims not as nuanced individuals with feelings, but as representatives of an enemy ideology, and thus fair game for online bullying and evening doxing. Then, it's time for a tech roundup with Max on Walter Isaacson's new Elon Musk biography, Congress's AI hearings, and why President Biden's DOJ is suing the internet's largest search engine.
