LAL Live Part 1: W. Michael Boyer + Spam, Bots, and Will Elon Get It Done? (NPS June 6)

Norm is joined as he is every Monday by W. Michael Boyer, the editor and producer of Norm's podcast, Law and Legitimacy, and North Carolina-based business and regulatory attorney.  Norm opens the show with a monologue regarding the privacy rights of parents whose children are killed at the hands of mass shooters. Mike hops in to continue the analysis of the recent public focus on mass shootings, providing weekend data for reference. Norm queries why we as a nation are so preoccupied now with gun violence and Mike offers his admittedly cynical explanation.  The two then transition to an update in the Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter. What is going on? Is there perhaps an explanation for why there is so much public friction around the issue of spam, bots, and Twitter's transparency or lack thereof? What does Elon mean when he says he wants to ensure "free speech" is protected online? Like, share, and subscribe! Norm is live every weekday on WICC600AM/107.3FM from 12pm ET to 2pm.
