 On the hunt for new revenue streams in the wake of its IPO, Facebook is developing ways to open up the site to kids under 13. Wall Street Journal reporter Anton Troianovski looks at the perils and possibilities. Then, the non-profit New Immigrant Community Empowerment has developed a comic book to help new immigrants avoid scams. The group's Executive Director, Valeria Treves, explains how it works. The Sunlight Foundation works to promote political transparency, and they've developed two new tools to do it. Politwoops archives politicians' deleted tweets. Scout keeps you informed about what Congress is doing, focused on any subject you choose. Tom Lee, Director of Sunlight Labs, walks us through both. And Emily Books, a new subscription service for e-books, sends you a new book selected by its founders each month.

Moyers & Company
with host Bill Moyers
 Moyers & Company is a weekly hour of vital conversations about the state of our democracy, with guests drawn from a diverse array of scholars, artists, activists, scientists and newsmakers. The series marks Bill Moyers' return to television, and is taped at CUNY TV's studios in midtown Manhattan. It also airs on public television stations across the country.
On this week's episode, we look at "Banking on Greed." Just when you think the reputation of banks couldn't get any worse, comes word that we've seen nothing yet. As many as 20 banking institutions, including Barclays Bank, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, UBS and HSBC, are reportedly under investigation for illegal and unethical practices toward protecting their profits at all costs and letting others pay for their mistakes. An MIT professor of finance told CNN, "This dwarfs by orders of magnitude any financial scams in the history of markets."
On this week's Moyers & Company, financial expert Sheila Bair talks with Bill about the lawlessness of our banking system and the prognosis for meaningful reform. Bair was appointed in 2006 by President George W. Bush to chair the FDIC. During the 2008 meltdown, she argued that in some cases banks were NOT too big to fail - that instead of bailouts, they should be sold off to healthier competitors. Now a senior adviser to the Pew Charitable Trusts, Bair has organized a private group of financial experts including former Fed chairman Paul Volcker, former Senators Bill Bradley and Alan Simpson, and John Reed, once the chairman of Citicorp, to explore ways to prevent the banking industry from scuttling reforms created by the Dodd-Frank Act.
Also on the show, Bill talks to scientist and philosopher Vandana Shiva, who's become a rock star in the global battle over genetically modified seeds. These seeds -- considered "intellectual property" by the big companies who own the patents -- are globally marketed to monopolize food production and profits. Opponents challenge the safety of genetically modified seeds, claiming they also harm the environment, are more costly, and leave local farmers deep in debt as well as dependent on suppliers. Shiva, who founded a movement in India to promote native seeds, sees this as the latest battleground in the war on Planet Earth.
"When seed is in the hands of five companies -- 75% of the commercial seed is already in their hands. Ninety percent of the corn. Ninety percent of the soy. Ninety-five percent of the cotton -- this is an emergency. It is a seed dictatorship." Shiva tells Bill. "And when you control seed, you control food."
Moyers & Company airs every Monday at 6:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 11:00 pm; Wednesday at 2:00 am (Tues. overnight); and Saturday at 7:00 am.
