The internet’s sheriffs, reporting for duty
Mike Masnick, a respected expert in internet law and free speech, has brought his deep knowledge and critical eye to a broader examination of global internet regulations and real-life stories about online trust and safety. The format of "Ctrl-Alt-Speech" feels like two internet sheriffs have deputized themselves to call out the sometimes asinine and semi-ridiculous attempts by well-meaning but ill-informed humans to "make the internet safer." Masnick and his co-host, Ben Whitelaw, expertly unpack the inherent complexities and trade-offs in these efforts, often highlighting how they may ultimately cause more harm, even if unintended. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in the nuanced and constantly evolving landscape of internet governance. Masnick's insightful commentary and the engaging storytelling make "Ctrl-Alt-Speech" a compelling and essential listen.Read full review »
