Censorship, and the Future of the Internet with Mark Zuckerberg #33

35 minutes

Ever wonder what REALLY goes on behind the screens of your favorite social media platforms? This week, we dive deep into a no-holds-barred conversation about the wild world of tech, power, and where the internet is headed. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride as we explore the evolution of content moderation from simple rule-keeping to full-blown ideological battles.

Was it really just about bullying or copyright, or was something else at play? We uncover the events that triggered a surge in online censorship, from the 2016 elections to the chaos of COVID.

Fact-checkers: Heroes or biased gatekeepers? We dissect the messy truth about fact-checking and explore a potential shift to a community-driven approach.

Get ready to have your mind blown as we grapple with the ethical dilemmas of AI: Will it be our salvation or our doom? We discuss the need for open-source, widely available AI to prevent any one entity from having too much power. Plus, did you know AI is learning to code, and may even have tried to copy itself?

Is social media now a modern "pirate radio," a place where voices can be heard outside of traditional media channels?

Buckle up, because the future of the internet, your data, and even reality itself is up for grabs. This isn't just about tech; it's about power, truth, and the very nature of our digital lives.
