Elon Musk is having a normal one on Twitter -- banning accounts which reported on his choice to ban the "Elon Jets" account which posted information about the location of his private plane, prohibiting uses from posting links to sites like Mastodon & Instagram, and issuing polls asking the public whether he should step down from Twitter. (As of writing this, 8 million people have voted, and he's losing). It's a perfect time to talk to internet policy expert Evan Greer about policies pending in congress that might help ensure some degree of the consistency and transparency that Elon promised, but has not yet provided. We discuss Parlour, PayPal, & app store tyranny; the hypocrisy of Alejandra Caraballo's condemnation of right wing violence after calling for SCOTUS members to be "accosted," post Dobbs, and more.

Evan and Shahid Bhuttar are both good go-tos for these issues. So is Corey Doctorow, who's also been a guest on Bad Faith. On the financial end of big tech I also recommend Brett Scott and Rohan Gray. They can all be found on twitter, because for the moment that's still the place to be.

Love the show, but revisit anti-black. Put that out way to whimsically. Here is an example of black people cashing bullshit checks: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/09/opinion/racism-kanye-west.html I can't pick out a coherent message of anti-blackness from the Times or BF. I know I'm not wrong, but feel free to do the good work of setting me straight.

The “escape valve” is breaking the law. Minus that all content, no matter how repugnant, is allowed. As Noam Chomsky said decades ago, you either believe in free speech or you don’t.
