Summary: On this week’s If Then, Slate’s April Glaser and Will Oremus take a look at Vero, the new social network that has people fleeing Instagram and Facebook, how conspiracy theories after the Parkland massacre have bubbled to the top of YouTube’s search results, and the controversy over how Facebook charges for campaign ads, after a Wired report showed that Trump faced much lower rates than Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn joins the show to talk about net neutrality, the upcoming Sinclair merger, sky-high prison phone rates and what the FCC is doing to help restore communications post Hurricane Maria. <br><br><strong>Don’t Close My Tabs:</strong><br><strong>Wired</strong>: <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/how-trump-conquered-facebookwithout-russian-ads/">How Trump Conquered Facebook - Without Russian Ads</a><strong><br>Uber Driver’s Playlists</strong>: <a href="https://twitter.com/TEEJUS___/status/967554582401478656">@TEEJUS <br></a><br>Podcast production by Max Jacobs.<br><br><strong><em>If Then</em></strong><strong> plugs: </strong><br>You can get updates about what’s coming up next by following us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/ifthenpod"><strong>@ifthenpod</strong></a>.
