Every minute, millions of posts, videos, and comments are judged by an invisible army of AI. These automated systems are the new sheriffs of the internet, deciding what you’re allowed to see and say. But what happens when the code gets it wrong? A war crimes investigator has their evidence deleted, an artist has their work labeled as pornography, and a political activist is silenced—all by an algorithm with no understanding of context.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the automated moderators that rule our digital lives. You'll learn how these systems work, why they fail so spectacularly, and hear the real stories of people who have been silenced by a glitch. This isn’t just a tech problem; it’s one of the biggest free speech challenges of our time. When code becomes law, who gets to be the judge, jury, and executioner?
