Radio Boston talks with Joan Donovan, the misinformation scholar who claims in a lawsuit that Harvard University stopped supporting her work researching Facebook at the same time that the school received a donation from the tech giant's founder.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan both attended Harvard, and recently made a $500 million gift to the University through their foundation. Harvard denied the allegations.

This segment aired on December 6, 2023.
