Fidji Simo, VP of Product for Video, and Ricky Van Veen, Head of Global Creative Strategy, discussed how the platform has grown ninefold since it was launched in August of 2017, hyping the success of series like Jada Pinkett Smith's talk show "Red Table Talk," and "SKAM Austin," a teen drama based on the popular Norwegian series.
But as fun as it is to watch Pinkett Smith get candid about sex, there are real questions about what Facebook Watch is and how it's being curated, especially when it comes to the proliferation of misinformation, a problem that plagues the the social media giant, and not just in its video ventures.
