For years, using social media has been mostly free. But that’s slowly changing. Following in Twitter’s footsteps, Meta has launched a subscription service for its platforms. We’ll discuss what paying for social media might mean for our online culture. And, the latest news about SVB (of course) and the regulators that may have dropped the ball. Plus, a round of Half Full/Half Empty.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Meta launches subscription service in US” from Reuters
- “Fed Blocked Mention of Regulatory Flaws in Silicon Valley Bank Rescue” from The New York Times
- “U.S. Pushes for TikTok Sale to Resolve National Security Concerns” from The New York Times
- Beer Purchasers’ Index from the National Beer Wholesalers Association
Our March fundraiser ends today! Help us meet our goal this week so we can cover our costs and plan for the future: https://support.marketplace.org/smart-sn
