| 0:00.0 | So, Burdo, serious question here, is Facebook and social media in general evil? |
| 0:05.7 | Is it all evil for humans and society and us? What do you think? |
| 0:10.2 | I don't think that's accurate, no. |
| 0:12.2 | I don't think it's all evil. |
| 0:13.9 | So, let's look into that, what do you say? |
