Moderation: It's Not Just About Content

What this episode covers

TikTok is banned (and then not). Meta eliminates fact-checking. Policy-makers debate how to moderate content and provide a safe online experience. So much is happening in the world of online speech, which is why we invited John Perrino, Senior Policy and Advocacy Expert at Internet Society to join the pod. He will help clarify what's at stake, why it matters and how using technology in moderation can improve our lives.
