The honor code : draw the line

The speed of trust : be vulnerable

The mission of journalism : be honest

Part II: The rise of Facebook, Rappler, and the Internet's black hole, 2005-2017. The network effect : hitting the tipping point

Creating ripples of change : build a team

How friends of friends brought democracy down : think slow, not fast

How the rule of law crumbled from within : silence is complicity

Don't become a monster : embrace your fear
