I'm a tech journalist, podcast producer, and video host.
Today I'm a Senior Reporter at Gizmodo and one of the leading voices for tech news on TikTok.
I've covered AI, privacy, and social media for the better part of a decade. I write about all the ways that tech companies manipulate you (and each other) in their quest to dominate the internet — but I also love stories about how the web is still bizarre and wonderful.
My work has sparked U.S. Senate hearings, inspired Federal Trade Comission lawsuits, and transformed laws affecting hundreds of millions of people. Under pressure from my reporting, Facebook deleted facial recognition data for over a billion users
I'm also a regular analyst and media contributor on platforms including the Today show, CBS Mornings, CNN, NPR, and the BBC.
