Fahrenheit 230

from R A D I X · host R A D I X

It’s Tuesday, December 4, 2020, and welcome back to The McSpencer Group ... an unrehearsed, hastily assembled program about meta-politics. Joining me is the legendary JF—Jean-François Gariépy: un homme qui croit que manger du fromage brie fondu est merveilleux! Main topic: Fahrenheit 230Social-media deplatforming is an existential crisis for our time. Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have become, in effect, the mainstream media, replacing the big networks of yesteryear. As they’ve risen to prominence, they seem less like free-speech bastions and more like institutions with an agenda: to promote their preferred messages and advertiser-friendly content. Donald Trump thinks we can crack this nut by removing Big Tech’s immunity to lawsuits through §230 of the Communications Decency Act. JF and I debate the future of the Internet.
