Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg and Mike Schroepfer are coming to Code (to explain it all for us)

Let’s keep this short and sweet (until the interview, that is!): Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg and CTO Mike Schroepfer will be interviewed onstage at the 2018 Code Conference later this month.

There is obviously a lot to talk about with Sandberg, who oversees the Silicon Valley social media giant’s business operations, and Schroepfer, who leads tech strategies there, about its tumultuous year.

Among the many topics that we hope to pursue: Concrete specifics about its failure to police its vast platform; privacy concerns; worries about tech addiction; the fallout from the data scandal around Cambridge Analytica; fake news; Facebook’s impact on elections worldwide; CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s promise at Congressional hearings to take a broader responsibility for its actions; tech’s overall responsibility or lack thereof; increasing political and regulatory pressure globally; and the company’s recent executive shuffle.

And did we mention the Russians? Nyet? Okay, we also want to talk about how that government used and abused the Facebook ecosystem.

As you might imagine, we are a little more up to speed on this stuff than all those politicians in D.C., so it should be a riveting session, and it’s laudable that top execs from Facebook have agreed to come and answer our many questions.

It all takes place May 30 to June 1 in Southern California. You can see our speaker lineup of leaders from the tech world, the media world and beyond here; there’s more to come.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
